Six years ago when he passed the Executive Order restricting citizens of Muslim countries from entering the United States, the university I work at came out with a statement that the decision impeded our ability to engage with peers in America and undermined the tolerance on which understanding and exchange are built. It was a fairly innocuous statement. We got hammered by the Murdoch press. I was fielding hate mail and angry phone calls for a week.
