Founded as a “hippie school” with no grades or majors, Evergreen State College may have been ripe for a student takeover

First comment on the article :

"Who is going to hire these "graduates" with no major, no grades and no real education????"

And :

"No, they learn how to extort, a key tenet of being "progressive". "

One More :

"I saw a quote in "Forbes" magazine some months that went something like, "It's a wonder how kids enter college with so much knowledge, and leave with so little." As for these protesters, then Governor Reagan described a hippy as someone who "dresses like Tarzan, has hair like Jane, and smells like Cheetah." The legacy of those losers lives on sad to say."

Student takeover of 'hippie school' could happen anywhere, academics warn

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/5/evergreen-campus-takeover-could-happen-anywhere/

Monday, June 5, 2017

Founded as a “hippie school” with no grades or majors, Evergreen State College may have been ripe for a student takeover — but academics warn what has happened in Olympia, Washington, could happen anywhere.

Classes resumed Monday after an anonymous threat shut down the campus for nearly three days.

“At Evergreen, campus safety is our number-one priority,” Evergreen President George Bridges said in a statement. “After consultation with law enforcement today, we have determined there is no active threat to campus. We are ready to get back to the business of teaching and learning.”

The discord, however, is far from over: More than 50 faculty members penned an open letter over the weekend calling on the administration to open an investigation into biology professor Bret Weinstein, blaming the campus unrest on his refusal to participate in a no-whites day on campus.
