Threat closes Evergreen State College amid high race tensions

[Wingnut]

Liberal college loses control of the inmates.

Key developments:
Tensions are high as students allege racism, protest administrators at The Evergreen State College.
Rashida Love, director of the First People’s Multicultural Advising Services program, sent an email asking for some white students to volunteer not to be on campus for an anti-racist “day of absence” event.
Professor Bret Weinstein then sent back an email saying that asking white students to stay off campus is an “act of oppression in and of itself."
In wake of race protests at Evergreen, one lawmaker proposes to make it private.
A college spokesman said a "threat of violence" caused the school

The current "maturity" level on college campuses, is like middle schoolers.

And I don't mean the middle schoolers near the top of the class. I mean like the losers.

The quality of judgment shown is like the kids that might drop out of high school.

Evergreen is a bizarre school from what little I've read about it.

Who are these poor repressed people going to this college at between 20 and 40 thousand a year? http://www.evergreen.edu/costs

Someone is paying for it for them? How repressed is that?

One of the most far left campuses on the west coast and that is saying something.

Guess they'll have to cancel the annual Rachel Corrie Memorial Pancake Breakfast.

I'm sort of enjoying some of the pain of the Evergreen College teachers and admin  at the maybe the most liberal school in the nation who while undoubtedly bending over backwards still can't please the morons who go there.
It appears at least one of the professors and one minority student have seen the light....nothing can appease the mob. How many more liberal teachers and admin people being chewed up and spit out by their pets will it take before they realize they've raised and abetted a generation of babies who shouldn't be anywhere near an institution of higher learning?

And they were going to serve vegan pancakes! Oh, the humanity!

That would be an affront to the memory of Saint Pancake.

From the article:
"A college spokesman said a "threat of violence" caused the school..."

Fine with me.
Can we get another "threat" to close it tomorrow?
Can we get more "threats" to close it next week?

With a bit of luck, they'll keep it closed permanently.

We had those every other day (sometimes, every day when the weather was nice) in High School, long ago and far from here (race riots).

Us too.  67-68 seemed to be the peak years for my hamlet.

'60-71 for us, I got a chance to go to a private school and jumped at it. It saved me, academically.
