"Warning: Survival at Stake Without Cultural and Political Change, Says WaPo Editorial Board Member"

Washington Post opinion columnist Karen Attiah warned that "many will not survive" unless there is a shift in cultural and political systems in the country, urging marginalized communities to "divest" from institutions and enter into a "self-preservation" mode. She pointed to the recent decision by the University of Southern California to cancel a Muslim valedictorian's speech as an example of the need for change, and criticized the silence and censorship surrounding the conflict in Gaza. Attiah's comments have sparked controversy on social media, with some questioning her past statements and positions.
