This sounds like the old Rush Limbaugh tactic. Take one example of a problematic decision (read the article, it is not so clear-cut) and apply it to the rest of humanity.

I’ll try to respond to this when I have the info in hand. I’ll let you know if and when I locate it. I think I can. I’m slammed at school for the next couple of days. But I know where to search.

That one example contained 20,000 students or other academics who wanted him fired for disagreeing about racial preferences. That is the bad decision of 20,000; not of one.
“This can’t be real.”
It is.
“Is this what higher education has come to?”
Yes. That’s why I think online education may be our best chance of anyone getting a university level education.
You’re taking the course from the privacy of your home and don’t know or care if your fellow students are black white yellow brown cheetoh orange green or any and everything in between.
I find it very unsurprising the student who wrote the letter claimed not to be black. The students who least want a lower level class from Professor Kline are the ones self styled activists claim to be helping

The development of a true consciousness is still the professional function of the universities.
Herbert Marcuse, Essay On Liberation
I read the article three times trying to figure out what the outrage?
A white student requested a “no harm” test for black students and the professor basically said “no”. Then the white student started a petition and UCLA responded with a temporary suspension while the allegations were investigated.
A black student didn’t request this, nor were black students harmed in anyway.
So are conservatives mad that the white student requested such a thing?
I could see if UCLA, or the professor, actually gave the test that way. But they didn’t.
Seems they followed protocol and determined the professor did nothing wrong.
Again… what is the issue? A conservative posted this article because they don’t like the UCLA policy? Doubt it.
They posted it because a white kid requested it. Culture war bs
He was under investigation?

They suspended him. He did nothing wrong.

is that a question or an answer?
perhaps you missed this in the article
“Ultimately the UCLA’s Academic Senate Committee on Academic Freedom ruled that the case did not warrant an investigation…
so…
why was he suspended?

why did you repeat “white student” three times in this post?

I did not see UCLA state a reason why he was suspended. I’m assuming it’s protocol to suspend during investigations. But that is just my assumption.
Black people did not demand this… I assumed this is why conservatives are outraged. Otherwise I can’t find a reason.
so you had to state “white person” over and over in your post?
fascinating
question: after reading the op article (three times), how do you know he was “white”?
