I'm curious as to why this story was published in the NY Times recently. The incident and publication of the report that cleared the white custodial and security staff of any biased behavior all happened in 2018. I couldn't see a reason why this story re-emerged. Nothing in the reporting pointed to new information coming to light.

Just enough people at the Times believe "cancel culture" is real enough to assign a reporter to cover a fiction on a full time basis. That's why.

Thanks for this. I never quite understood "cancel culture". Now I feel as though I'm beginning to get it. And what you say about the situation at Smith College helps me see the light. Gracias.
