Editing Teach-in (section)

==The first teach-in==
The concept of the teach-in was developed by anthropologist [[Marshall Sahlins]] of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor during a meeting on March 17, 1965. Previously, around 50 faculty members had signed onto a one-day teaching strike to oppose the Vietnam War.<ref name="Wells">{{cite book|last1=Wells|first1=Tom|title=The war within: America's battle over Vietnam|date=1994|publisher=University of California Press|location=Berkeley, CA|isbn=0520083679|pages=[https://archive.org/details/warwithin00tomw/page/22 22–65]|url=https://archive.org/details/warwithin00tomw/page/22}}</ref> About a dozen of these faculty members, including [[William A. Gamson]], [[Jack Rothman]], [[Eric Wolf]], [[Arnold Kaufman]], [[Frithjof Bergmann]] and Roger Lind, reconsidered the strike and gathered to discuss alternative ways to protest the war in the face of strong opposition to the strike from the Michigan legislature and governor as well as the university president.<ref>{{cite news|title=MICHIGAN FACULTY CREATED TEACH-IN; 49 at University Staged the First Vietnam Protest|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1965/05/09/archives/michigan-faculty-created-teachin-49-at-university-staged-the-first.html|access-date=11 November 2016|work=The New York Times|date=9 May 1965|page=43}}</ref> The ''New York Times Magazine'' summed up how Sahlins arrived at the idea: "They say we're neglecting our responsibilities as teachers. Let's show them how responsible we feel. Instead of teaching out, we'll teach in—all night."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Levitas|first1=Mitchel|title=Vietnam Comes to Oregon U.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1965/05/09/archives/article-9-no-title-vietnam-comes-to-oregon-u-vietnam-comes-to.html|access-date=11 November 2016|work=New York Times Magazine|date=May 1965|pages=SM24}}</ref>

The term ''teach-in'' was a variant of another form of protest, the [[sit-in]]. Later variants included the [[die-in]], [[bed-in]], lie-in, and draft card turn-in.<ref name="ZaroulisSullivan">{{cite book|last1=Zaroulis|first1=Nancy|last2=Sullivan|first2=Gerald|title=Who spoke up? : American protest against the war in Vietnam, 1963-1975|date=1984|publisher=Doubleday|location=Garden City, N.Y.|isbn=0385175477|edition=1st}}</ref>{{rp|37}}

Women students who attended received special permission to stay out during the night. Bomb threats emptied the hall three times over the course of the teach-in, sending participants into the freezing cold, where they continued their activities. Other Michigan students in the Young Republicans organization picketed the event, protesting "anti-American policy."<ref name="NYT1965">{{cite news|title=PROFESSORS HOLD VIETNAM PROTEST: 3 Bomb Threats Disrupt 'Teach-in' at Michigan U.|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1965/03/25/archives/professors-hold-vietnam-protest-3-bomb-threats-disrupt-teachin-at.html|access-date=11 November 2016|work=The New York Times|agency=Associated Press|date=25 March 1965|page=9}}</ref> The teach-in ended the next morning, concluding with a 600-person rally on the steps of the library.<ref name="DeBenedetti"/>{{rp|108}}
