Students Demand Professor’s Head After He Speaks Against Segregation
Students at Evergreen State College are calling for the resignation of an allegedly “anti-black” professor after he objected to a school-sanctioned event calling for whites to leave campus for the day.
According to Evergreen State College’s description of the Day of Absence and Presence, the multi-day event is dedicated to “address current issues surrounding race at Evergreen and beyond.”
The details of the Day of Absence instructs students to choose between attending events on campus, reserved for “people of color,” or to go off-campus if they identity as being from a “majority culture or white perspective.”
Evergreen State College’s student publication, the Cooper Point Journal, confirms that 2017 was the first year in which white students were told to leave campus because of their race.
Biology professor Bret Weinstein vocalized his opposition to the new Day of Absence plan in an email to the First Peoples Multicultural Advising Services Director Rashida Love.
Weinstein said his email was a “formal protest of this year’s structure” and that he “would encourage others to put phenotype aside and reject this new formulation,” as “one’s right to speak—or to be—must never be based on skin color.”
