My small Christian college on Wall Street is on the brink of going under. It had it coming.

There are two kinds of King's students: those who just go to King's and those who are"King's people."

The latter truly love the school and its mission. They seek to embody the school's words —"good, brave, and ready." Students can report their peers for violating school rules, which includes everything from underage drinking or drug possession to engaging in sexual activity or violating the school's business-casual dress code.

Through its Christian worldview, King's teaches students to resist secular culture. A symptom of that teaching is the belief that mainstream media is the purveyor of anti-Christian sentiment.As a journalism major, I was heavily involved with the student newspaper, the Empire State Tribune. To agree to be an editor of the newspaper was to sign on as a target of antagonism from faculty and a point of contention among the student body.

The hard switch in my attitude came in 2021. I quickly saw that the school was unwilling — in the best cases, slow — to respond to the issues affecting students of color, such as the spike in violence against Asian Americans during the pandemic.
