You can imagine my excitement when over the course of a few months, I landed interviews at many of the big pro-choice organizations here…. But each interview ended with some version of this: “I’m sorry, but you are too radical/too much of an activist to work for us.”… At one particular organization, a senior executive [...]

Jared said he would not say anothing (sic) in class.”
