Just the News-
Educators on American university campuses are increasingly facing an uncompromising climate, risking professional consequences — up to and including termination — simply for mentioning racial issues in purely academic contexts.
U.S. campuses have long been hotbeds of progressive political thought, increasingly so in recent decades as more and more left-wing ideologies have been pushed by students and accepted by administrators.
Yet racial issues in recent years have become perhaps the hottest third rail on campus, amplified by the last half-decade in which Black Lives Matter-style activism has become a political force in American life. More and more professors are seeing dire professional consequences simply for discussing racial issues in ways that some activists decide is unacceptable.
In one recent example, Georgetown Law Center fired adjunct Professor Sandra Sellers after video emerged of her discussing the grades of some of her black students with another colleague.
“I hate to say this,” she said during the discussion, “I end up having this angst every semester that a lot of my lower ones are Blacks. Happens almost every semester. And it’s like, ‘Oh, come on.’ You get some really good ones, but there are also usually some that are just plain at the bottom. It drives me crazy.” read more
I’m sure the Black Law Students Association at Georgetown know in their heart they are there ONLY because of their skin color. They had no recourse except to demand her resignation.
They created this. I have no sympathy. Looking forward to the student on student war after they eliminate the “teachers”.
In the fairy tale this is where the little boy who exclaims “But the King has no clothes!” is arrested and sent to the dungeon. His parents are excommunicated and forced to live in the town dump and scavenge for food.

NEWS FLASH. I started college 60 years ago. Conservatives Profs were not granted tenure in 1962!
Which is why when Ronny ran in ’80 over 75% of professors said he was a “redneck, racist”!
Yes Im old
No sympathy. They helped create the little monsters.
“They helped create the little monsters.”
They’re still creating them. This is the mechanics of how.
I just wonder when it’s going to completely crash from it’s own cancer and how it’s going to look.
