Students at a Georgia Southern University burned a Latina author's book after she talked about white privilege at a campus event.
Capó Crucet's acclaimed novel tells the story of a young Cuban American girl who is accepted to a prestigious university in the U.S. It has been required reading in some freshman classes at the university.
JaQuaylon Taylor, 18, a freshman at the university, told NBC News that the student's question at the talk"threw everybody off ... There was a lot of negativity in that space." "To think of those students watching as a group of their peers burned that story — effectively erasing them on the campus they are expected to think of as a safe space — feels devastating," she wrote.
