It is a tough call. Clearly, Chinese depradations in Tibet demand a call for divestment, but the US left is peculiarly silent.
Why? Because of China's leftist past? Because Buddhism lies outside the Abrahamic continuum?
I think Lerner's claim is a simplification, but the left's selectivity here is in urgent need of unpacking.
