Glad to see the NY Times covering this totally insane story! And glad to see links to Bret's Twitter posts and the YouTube documentation of the students at Evergreen who have earned the right to be publicly shamed! Good riddance!

Holy H**l I'm all for going after clearly over-the-top PC culture and campus protests, but we can we not use Daily Caller as a source?
It's doesn't make our cause seem any more credible than theirs.
This story is covered in local media:
Any names of those racist students yet? I want to go on their Facebook.
College Students are protesting stupid things all the time nowadays (Example The University of Michigan students are saying the wood paneling is too masculine and racist, I did not know wood could be racist, so I learned something new) surprisingly Administrators usually cave and give them what they want meaning they will keep asking for more, also most if not all the protest's seem to be anti-white and stunningly many of those spouting hate of whites are white themselves, one white professor a few years ago (Noel Ignatiev) on his last day at school told white students to kill themselves because they cause all the world's problems (Note it was his last day as he was retiring, NOT because he was fired for telling kids to kill themselves, If I was his student, I would have told him to lead by example.
WTF did I just read. Those racist students need to be taught a lesson. Time to backup and spread that YouTube video of students being racist bigots far and wide.
I feel bad for all the countless legitimate black activists out there who are dragged down by people like this. Kids these days are so worked up over making a statement that they forget to see the bigger picture. I'm embarrassed for those students
Don't be just embarrassed, screenshot the faces of those racist students off the YouTube videos and spread them.

Lol congrats on being equally as stupid as they are. Was literally just complaining about people who are too unintelligent to see the bigger picture and here you chime in with something like this.
And just what bigger picture are you saying these racist students represent? They need to be taught that their racism and assault​s on people have very real consequences.

Are you stupid lol? I said their actions fail to see the bigger picture. As does your suggestion.
So then what is your "bigger picture", Weinstein? My bigger picture is to give these racist students a proper dose of reality.

Cool but again, what does that actually accomplish? This problem between blacks and whites is nationwide and events like this leave an impression on everyone. These kids, their feelings, whether justice is served to them or not. It's all irrelevant to what actually matters, which is how others react. Slandering them on youtube just creates more hostility and makes white people look petty.
jonadamsthrid - I very much know what I am talking about. I am from a poor single mother home, and went to, undergrad and grad, two of the very best schools in the nation. I was the editor of the law review at one of the so-called very elite law schools years ago, and was surrounded by progressive, effete elitists who started life on third base, but who knew very little about how the world works. Track scholarship gave me an opportunity, for which I am thankful. Out of good intentions no doubt, this group of apparatchiks used to, for example, spout off on the virtues of trade unionism, and go on and on about it. Yet they knew nothing about what it meant to belong to a union, and the positives and negatives of the same. The narrative reigned, not the reality, and of course, since I lived the reality, my fellow students were all the more inclined not to listen, as the facts were too threatening to them. (I was a teamster and a member of the UFCW - working in a slaughterhouse, no less). There is just very little empirically based balanced assessment with the effete, progressive crowd. (And I am not all that conservative, by the way, and certainly not a Trump supporter).
I have observed close hand how elitists work, and while I don't doubt that some people have very good intentions and do good work with minority students, it is very reasonable to state - no matter the good intentions - that they don't really have these students' interest and success in mind. Witness the low graduation rates, the diversions to majors that offer less economic prospects, the endless coddling, the establishment of safe spaces (the worst thing for college students, as one of the few enduring things you pick up from college if done well is the capacity to absorb ego damage and continue learning).
Depressingly, I remain involved in one of my schools, and nothing really
changes. As a very senior guy with my sophisticated employer, I am a support of reasonable affirmative action and diversity. But it is maddening to work with it. It is not enough to just adopt the narrative and "be for it". Affirmative action is like any other endeavor. Good intentions alone don't cut it. You have to work hard, work smart, impose rigor, lead well and don't let people off the hook (e.g., not complete work), and treat it like every other endeavor in which you want to succeed. And there will be egos bruised along the way, with no safe spaces, because you can't make progress without it. And in this vein I see a pattern of miserable failure by the leaders at Evergreen. One would like to think it is unusual, but it is not.
It is no accident that Weinstein is a biology prof: political types of either the right or the left resent that the one thing that unifies all people is our biology. Political leftists and rightists thrive on division, and see higher authority of biology as the enemy.

No. That doesn't make it absurd. If he is a progressive intellectual then he is being eaten by the monster he helped create. That makes it poetic justice.

Huge plus 1.
After the French Revolution, its leaders turned on each other and began lopping the heads off other revolutionaries. Same thing happened after the revolution I Iran.
It is sad, but I take some small joy watching good liberals get turned on by others.
I am sure he went around all proud of how supportive of "diversity" he was. How he thought he was so tolerant of other people. How he thought the left was a place of tolerance. UNTIL he found out tolerance only means tolerance of people who believe exactly like them. The left has no room to tolerate dissent, even dissent from stupidity.
The schools nick name is the "Geoducks."
Which it turns out are not actually ducks, but clams.

Do "students" at this no grade liberal arts "school" get jobs?

"One would think it is unusual"??? No, one SHOULD think miserable failure out of places like this is predictable.
The inmates run this asylum and the lefty administration is in reality the most racist of all. They suffer from the most insidious form of it: the racism of low expectations. "Our students can't do homework, aren't doing well at it, so let's just eliminate it."
