Evergreen faculty pulling Kathy Griffin
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017...ofessor-w/
One state representative has introduced a bill to cut off Evergreen's funding. The professor has already been cut off from the faculty directory.
More than 50 faculty members at Evergreen State College are calling on the administration to punish a professor who refused to participate in a no-whites day on campus.
In a public letter released June 2, the faculty accused biology professor Bret Weinstein of endangering members of the Evergreen community by speaking out against student protesters who have taken over the Olympia, Washington, campus.
“Demonstrate accountability by pursuing a disciplinary investigation against Bret Weinstein according to guidelines in the Social Contract and Faculty Handbook,” the letter read. “Weinstein has endangered faculty, staff, and students, making them targets of white supremacist backlash by promulgating misinformation in public emails, on national television, in news outlets, and on social media.”

Another example of the left eating their own. Weinstein is an admitted Progressive Democrat. He supported Bernie in the primaries because he thought Hillary was too conservative.

RE: Evergreen faculty pulling Kathy Griffin
How can anyone be "pulling" Kathy Griffin?
Is she like "Caitlyn Jenner" before the big snip?
I'm confused.
Then again, look at 'em!
Could they have been separated at birth?
No. Wait. That can't be.
Now I'm more confused ...

Pulling a "Kathy Griffin"-a self-destructive act-like a press conference after you have already screwed up or a faculty letter trying to punish the victim of terrorist acts.

I think it's great... the radical left eating their own.
They've already pushed rational people to the center and beyond with their identity politics. Now they're cannibalizing themselves.
It's the law of unanticipated consequences.

Evergreen University Closed For Third Day Over Violent Protests…
Tolerance.
Quote:The Evergreen State College closed again Monday, the second time in days that security concerns led college officials to shut down a campus that has gotten national attention after protests over race.
The school in Olympia, Wash., shut down abruptly Thursday after receiving a threat, remained closed Friday, and reopened Saturday after law enforcement had thoroughly searched the campus.
Last week, someone called the county 911 line and told the dispatch officer, “Yes, I am on my way to Evergreen now with a .44 Magnum.
“I am going to execute as many people on that campus as I can get a hold of. You have that, what’s going on here, you communist scumbag?”
The school announced that the school would be closed “while law enforcement officials review new external threat information received over the weekend.” A school spokeswoman, Sandra Kaiser, declined to provide details about the additional information from the weekend. She said the closure was precautionary to give law enforcement time to review information from the weekend and that the school has been told there is no active threat.
Student protests about race boiled over in late May, attracting national attention, when video of students of color shouting at a professor, the college president and other school officials went viral.
Student protesters were upset about racism on campus and said on social media that police had responded too aggressively to their peaceful demonstration. But the protests quickly became a symbol nationally for people who saw them as further evidence that college campuses have been overtaken by liberal extremists unwilling to listen to opposing viewpoints.

Wonder how long (if EVER) it will be before more of these leftie academics realize that the monster they helped create may soon turn on them? Weinstein probably sees it now. They have created an uneducated mob that thoughtlessly demands things and carelessly throws accusation of racism, bigotry and worse. Facts don't matter to them, even if they had them. Only revisionist history even remotely crosses their minds.
How crazy is it that BLM is now advocating for segregation, something their parents and grandparents fought against and won.
Ignorance and a mob is a dangerous combination. How soon before somebody gets killed and the right and Trump will get blamed?

If you read the students interviews after Middlebury you could see the dangerous mob mentality. There was one girl who was planning on asking tough questions decided she couldn't be polite because she would be turning on her classmates. It was scary. They had no clue. Very 3rd Reichish.
Frank Bruni of the NYT actually did an editorial decrying the campus inquisitions. A few are starting to figure it out. Not many.

RE: Evergreen faculty pulling Kathy Griffin
These Are Actual Biology Courses Offered At Evergreen State College
Rejection of science…
Quote:While the school offers more traditional biology courses like “General Biology” and “Anatomy and Physiology,” it also has classes that provide more details about feminism and social movements than with the study of human or plant life.
Evergreen State College’s Biology Department will offer a course during the 2017 fall semester and 2018 spring semester entitled, “Reproduction: Gender, Race, and Power.” The course will provide students with “an overview of human reproduction,” but will pay “attention to gender and race as vectors of power that affect how reproduction is discussed, legislated, and experienced in the United States.”
The course description claims that biology is “shaped and defined by cultural norms.” One of the primary goals of the course is to “collectively dismantle the idea that women are defined as such by an innate reproductive capacity.”

If a civil war ever broke out, would these kids be able to survive? I am saddened by their ignorance and by their racist and radical views.

The proglodytes embrace identity politics, so unconsciously, every prog secretly wishes to be a victim and martyr.
