Yale Trustee Candidate Running On Platform Of Smashing Political Correctness

DC: A candidate for Yale University’s board of trustees is intent on smashing political correctness, particularly after the 2015 cultural appropriation scandal on campus.

Yale graduate James Kirchick suggested that he saw the beginnings of leftist intolerance on campus when he noticed an under representation of liberals in the school debate club, according to The College Fix. Kirchick announced his candidacy for Yale’s board of trustees in a Wall Street Journal column entitled “I’m Running to Restore Yale Values”.

Kirchick cited Yale students’ viral surrounding and lecturing of former headmaster Nicholas Christakis after his wife, professor Erika Christakis, sent a campus-wide email in which she expressed skepticism that students had to be warned about “appropriate Halloween wear.”

“When the university rewarded two of the mob’s leaders with a prestigious prize, something was deeply amiss,” Kirchick stated. “Further developments have only confirmed my worries. Yale ditched the title ‘master’ on the ludicrous grounds that it is racist; a survey finds half the faculty approves of ‘trigger warnings’ for readings and classroom discussions, and the number of campus administrators continues to swell while the cost of attending has increased to $70,000 a year.”  MORE HERE
