Wake Forest University claims to not allow verbal abuse that is “obscene, profane, or derogatory” and the commission of any offense that is “motivated by the race or any other defining characteristic of an individual.” But when one writer for the Wake Forest Review faced persistent harassment at the intersection of race and politics, the Dean of Students Adam Goldstein and the Bias Response team chose not to enforce these rules against leftist students.
After two Wake Forest students handed senior Ryan Wolfe a box of saltine crackers and photoshopped his face onto a cracker, Wolfe requested to open a judicial case under the verbal abuse and racial harassment policies.
“I support the free speech rights of students,” Wolfe said. “But in this case, I wanted to see if the school would enforce their rules surrounding verbal and abuse equally regardless of who was involved in the case. I knew that similar rhetoric about the identity of other groups would not be tolerated.”
A few weeks after these requests, Goldstein told Wolfe that the committee would not take action and that he should not want them to do so because it would only “make things worse” for him.
Ahhhhhh. They are protecting him by doing nothing to the bullying students.

Don’t forget to bring the Dean his gift, Groucho Marx glasses !
I had to look up what a gender queer is.
It’s always hard to keep track of who should get what copy of what paperwork, in these types of
showsproceedings. Perhaps if he’d sorted out the papers the Dean needed to see, and left them conveniently under a charcoal briquette, things have gone more fairly.‘Goldstein’.
