Racist libtards used totalitarian tactics to try to take over the campus ... that's what actually happened ... and the public noticed. Fall 2017 enrollment dropped by more than 5%. The college is expecting Fall 2018 enrollment to drop by another 20%. http://hotair.com/archives/2018/08/07/4087482/ Naima Lowe, a former Evergreen State College professor who sided with the protesters on campus last year, is the subject of a new piece at The Outline. The piece aims to provide another {revisionist} perspective on what happened at the school, but in the process, a lot of significant detail gets left out. ...
Naima Lowe ...
Left out of this summary is the confrontation that went viral in the first place, i.e. the mob of students showing up at Weinstein's classroom and demanding he resign immediately because they considered him a racist. This account also leaves out the white students who were told they could enter the library but had to remain silent (because they were white). It also leaves out the groups of students who surrounded professors and told them they would need to drop everything else and obey. There's no hint in this write-up that the author of the piece (or Naima Lowe) see anything wrong with that behavior. And since they don't mention it, some of their readers won't know it happened. And then we come to the real offense that angered Lowe and other leftists on campus: It's likely the occupation would have remained a local issue; after all, it was about campus-specific demands mostly regarding students and faculty of color at a small school in the Pacific Northwest. But shortly after the library occupation, Weinstein appeared twice on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show. "They imagine that I'm a racist," he told Carlson. "That I'm teaching racism in my classroom, and that I therefore have no right to speak."
Uh oh ... that wascally Professor Weinstein had the unmitigated AUDACITY to defend himself and tell everyone about our racist, totalitarian behavior!!! OH MY! Again, it doesn't help that the piece leaves out the entire reason for this appearance on Fox News, i.e. students trying to oust an academic from his job by shouting that he was a racist. In any case, that was the beginning of the end: The media coverage, from niche to mainstream, was nearly universally negative for the students and Lowe: calling them anti-white zealots (Washington Examiner), and anti-free-speech zealots (The New York Times). If you click on those links you'll find that neither article used the word zealots. ... At this point, the article does offer examples of some abusive language that Naima Lowe received by email. It's strangers calling her the n-word, the c-word and hoping for her death. It's nasty stuff and not defensible. If Lowe wants to argue that the racist and ugly response to her should be part of the story, that's fine with me. But it's not the only element of the story, not by a longshot. Several students who had been central to organizing against racism on campus left Evergreen either because they felt unsafe or were too burnt out to continue studying there after the Weinstein incident.
Oh boo-hoo ... the poor lil' snowflake instigators who tried to carry out a campus coup felt the need to cut and run because, while they certainly love to dish it out, they are too pussified to take it in return. "There are students who will remember for a long time what it felt like to be totally and completely thrown under the bus," one administrator, who asked to remain anonymous, told me. "Our enrollment is severely down ... it's very scary to me that the backlash is so strong."
No one got thrown under the bus, you disingenuous MORON ... your beloved lil' totalitarian monsters got mollycoddled by the Evergreen administration! What you find so SCARY, you cowardly putz, is that bad behavior has bad consequences ... and you stupidly and childishly believe that you and yours should never suffer any consequences for your bad behavior. Guess what, dumbass? Everyone noticed ... and now Evergreen is a pariah ... as it should be. Yes, the backlash was strong and not just from the handful of ugly racists emailing Naima Lowe. A lot of students and parents have decided not to attend Evergreen State this year. That's not because they are racist. It's because they saw with their own eyes that a social justice mob took over the campus and got almost zero resistance from the college president. That's what most Americans who watched the videos saw as well. The backlash to that behavior isn't going to go away because that behavior itself is inexcusable. But don't try to tell that to Naima Lowe.
