text: We all understand how important it is not to forget historical injustices such as the holocost or slavery in America and the enduring racism it caused. We cannot forget lest such injustice return. Yet while remaining vigilant against injustice, we should not create more injustice. That is about to happen to Ms. Shurtz. Some who have known her testify here that she is no racist. Others including colleagues who may not know her well or at all call for her long and productive career to be ended. That would be a shameful injustice. Allow her time to reflect and apologize, then forgive her. Is that, after all, not the goal of racial healing? Or is intimidation a better tool for healing than forgiveness? I think it is not.
