Evergreen State College students have berated a professor and called for his resignation after he objected to an event where white students were asked to leave the campus for a day.
Bret Weinstein, a biology professor at the university, sent out an email criticizing the purpose of this year’s “Day Of Absence” event where, unlike in the past, white students and faculty members were asked to leave campus to give space to people of color.
Traditionally, the annual event is characterized by people of color leaving the campus to show their contribution to the campus, while white students and faculty members are attending anti-racism workshops.
“There is a huge difference between a group or coalition deciding to voluntarily absent themselves from a shared space in order to highlight their vital and under appreciated roles … and a group or coalition encouraging another group to go away,” Weinstein wrote in the email.
“I would encourage others to put phenotype aside and reject this new formulation … On a college campus, one’s right to speak—or to be—must never be based on skin color.”

This shite will continue as long as white people are dumb enough to spend their money there.

As much as it was my dream to go to LSU when I was a kid, if this would've happened while I was there, I would've immediately gone to look to transfer. This is bullshite.

I'd rather be asked to leave than attend some gay workshop.

I'm sure Europe has just as many SJW's. Racism is a just as big of an issue over there. You hear about it in soccer venues all the time

Yep - I may send my kid to Hillsdale. Traditional colleges are just SJW re-education camps

No doubt. But it seemed like the Prof had no problem in years past when it was whites only on campus for the day.
And how safe do you think a confused cracker would be showing up that day if he didn't get the memo. Would he get assaulted in the name of tolerance?

By the way, here is his actual email:

A student shouted at Weinstein: “We don’t care what terms you want to speak on. This is not about you. We are not speaking on terms—on terms of white privilege. This is not a discussion. You have lost that one.”
Another student accused the professor of making racist comments, demanding he apologize, to which Weinstein replied: “I did not.”
The confrontation continued and one Evergreen student asked the biology professor whether he believes that “black students in sciences are targeted.”
“I do not believe that anybody on our faculty, with intent, specially targets students of color,” he replied—sparking shrieking outrage from the student protesters.
The professor tried to reason with the students, claiming discussion can bring positive change. “Listen to me … Yes, I know, history could pivot in the direction of the values that you are standing here for,” prompting a student to interrupt him, saying “Yeah, resign.”
“I’m not resigning,” the professor fired back.
The students then took their protest away from Weinstein and started a walk through the campus chanting “Hey hey! Ho ho! Bret Weinstein has got to go!”
There are also reports that students at Evergreen have barricaded themselves.
Some students are also circulating a statement on the incident, accusing professor Weinstein of “racism” and “anti-blackness:

It's too late. The descent down the slippery slope has begun.
