I would think that a government machining gunning down peacefully assembled civilians and then running over the bodies with tanks, then shooting any doctors who attempted to help the wounded, wouldn't be politicized. That we can all agree it is deeply and unquestionably evil.

Yes, it would be very nice if we could all understand important things without misunderstandings based on personal biases or misinformation.

In the meantime, debating without harassing each other is the best way forward.

Something being a political view doesn't mean its not verifiable fact.

A debate has different facets - political or not political - fact or not fact - harassment or not harassment.

In this case the problem that needed to be addressed by Purdue was the harassment.

Students debating different understandings of Tiananmen Square (regardless of either sides merits) was not the issue that required intervention by university leadership.
