It seems the next big push by the campus leftist activists is some sort of “anti-sweat shop” policy at Marquette (so that the people who feel self-righteous drinking “fair trade” coffee can feel equally self-righteous about wearing sweat shirts and t-shirts sold by Marquette).

We don’t know whether we will agree with Rivioi in toto (unlikely), but her view will doubtless be much more nuanced and realistic than the prevailing anti-sweat shop moralism.
