what about the First Amendment right to seek redress?
What a powerful lecture- Professor Rediker is such an amazing speaker!
This is all we need to know about the guest in this class. She "successfully campaigned against ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment" (Wikipedia). Why should anyone listen to the self-congratulatory and backward ideas of a cruisader agains human rights in 2020?
This is anti-communist propaganda.

Very difficult to listen to. I don't know how much lecturing experience this instructor has, but it's clear she needs more classroom time. She didn't seem to be very confident in her teaching abilities and it showed. There were a number of errors and gaffes as well. If I was a student in the class, I definitely would have to fact check her lecture material.
