Students at the Washington liberal arts school, whose main claim to fame is alumnus and Simpsons creator Matt Groening, harassed Biology Prof. Bret Weinstein because he refused to leave campus for the annual “Day of Absence” April 12, The Washington Times reports.
Incredibly, they are trying to get him fired.
Evergreen State practices explicit and institutional racial segregation once a year. Typically nonwhite students and faculty leave campus (to show how valuable they are) and the whites stay on campus (to be indoctrinated in “anti-racism workshops and seminars”), but this year it was reversed, and Weinstein told the director of a campus multicultural office that he was staying put.
Bay Area entrepreneur William Treseder posted Bret’s email to the diversity official, which said the mandatory absence of whites from campus was “a show of force, and an act of oppression in and of itself”:
You may take this letter as a formal protest of this year’s structure, and you may assume I will be on campus during the Day of Absence. … On a college campus, one’s right to speak – or to be – must never be based on skin color. What this comes down to, and what's becoming more and more obvious each and every day, is that SJW believe that they're right beyond any question. In addition, they insist that you sit down, shut up and take it. Or in this case, leave.
All of these students need to be disciplined. And to learn that just cause they're loud, they aint right.

It's both very sad and kind of funny that the modern Regressive far left has become the voice of pro-"separate but equal," pro-segregation. The SJWs have demanded (and administrators caved and gave them): 1) Segregated, non-white graduation commencements at Harvard and other colleges this year (Harvard also holds a separate one for Latino students); 2) Segregated University housing for black students only at California State University; 3) A segregated, "no whites allowed safe space" so that non-white students can "organize and do social justice work." This comes even after the administration kowtowed to previous demands and are currently building a $10 million center for minority students on campus. We've passed the point where this lunacy has gotten absolutely fucking ridiculous. The party that spoke out so loudly against apartheid is now demanding that it be reinstated. It'd be hilarious if it weren't so idiotic and pathetic.

The "university" president capitulated to all of those horribly racist brats' demands, instead of expelling all of them like a real leader would've done. But, he and the little Marxists may soon reap the consequences of being all-around shitty people. State lawmakers are considering cutting all state-funding and essentially privatizing this miserable excuse for a school: www.campusreform.org/?ID=9245I don't generally agree with much of what comes out of Republican lawmakers' mouths, and I wouldn't be surprised if this guy has said some shitty things and introduced shitty, bigoted legislation in the past, nor would I be surprised if he does in the future, but I think he's 100% spot on with what he said about this specific situation and I hope the bill gets introduced and passes quickly.

Many colleges operate in a bubble of their own extreme wokeness.
They really can't see past it. What's worse is that this is going to be where the next leaders of the US come from.

For the US, maybe. But it's not even a lateral move for Groening.

A Weinstein update:
Anyone who thinks twitter and FB aren't manipulating information to benefit themselves and their management's politics is living in fantasy land.
I'm not sure what I should do, at this point. I'd like to dump both of them, but there are so many people, friends and family, with whom I maintain contact through FB. And twitter, for all it's faults, provides a lot of near-real time info in many arenas and links to things I want to read/persue.
