On September 9, General David Petraeus began teaching the course “Are We on the Threshold of the North American Decade?” at Macaulay Honors College/CUNY today as over 100 people gathered outside in vocal opposition. Later that afternoon, while leaving his class, Petraeus was verbally confronted by protestors who disinvited him from teaching at CUNY.
A new initiative by Free University-NYC now intends to counter Petraeus’s course with critical education of our own.
On Monday, September 16, Free University’s Fall 2013 “Counter-Classes” series will begin with a 6-8pm dialogue on the conflict in Syria, the possible U.S. military intervention, and how we can oppose imperialism abroad and the militarization of our schools at home. A 2:30pm demonstration outside Macaulay Honors College will precede our event.
