The Witch Hunt is On for Bret Weinstein

Geoducks - I have trouble disagreeing with your statements.

Note my initial posts about the incredibly poor value which academia now offers (they again all vote one way), all the more damning in the context of a technological advances over the past decades which should have driven costs lower and value higher. Instead the the progressive rent seeks raises costs and use students as conduits for public money to enrich themselves. And I find it curious that no one rebuts me on this, only resorting to name calling and ad hominem attacks (an indicator of when one is correct).

Well this is certainly true. The government gives out student loans like candy and private banks follow suit. I wonder why prices go up???

I am progressive as anyone and I can say without doubt that Evergreen State is just a complete nut house and has been that way for decades.

Governors are very soon going to get tired of this bulllshiitt and are going to crack down on these devious little revolutionaries with force. Of course, the university PDs have been turned into lapdogs for these little terrorists too, so there is nobody to keep order on campuses anymore without calling in the National Guard.

There will be another Kent State before all is said and done. Maybe then these little bittch self-styled revolutionaries will crawl back into the holes they emerged from. I wonder how many of them will have to become legitimate domestic terrorists and go to prison before others will realize how wrong they are.

I used to be left-leaning. No more. Identity politics has destroyed the left and I have no interest in supporting them anymore. The left has lost its way just as badly as has the right in this country.

Shame on Evergreen's Board of Trustees for not dealing with this situation! I hope Wa State pulls all future funding for this joke of a school.

First Peoples Multicultural Advising Services" should be shut down, President Bridges and Rashida Love fired and the school closed until further notice.

Thanks to Bret Weinstein for sharing his experience and to Bari Weiss for covering this story for the NYT! Glad to know there is at least 1 prof at Evergreen who is attempting to teach critical analysis to idiot millennials and exercise 1st amendment rights.

It is funny to hear you talk about rigor and accountability and how technological advances should have cut the cost of education. You don't get both of those at the same time. Distance education is far, far inferior to in-class experience with qualified teachers. Completion rates in Internet courses are often around 1-10%. The only students able to excel in those classes, to the extent that they can't just plagiarize or do the test straight from the book, already have a bachelor's or higher degree. But tenure-track profs are not at all the reason that universities are getting more expensive. More than half of faculty are now adjuncts, low-paid at that, and even full-time faculty pay has lagged markedly behind other professionals. According to two different studies, the rapid increase in tuition and room and board is due to declining state support and increases in the size and costs of administration, together with "student services," athletics, and other support personnel.

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.

Patently false, as evident by all the people on the left who are criticizing the actions of these students.

A real shame! Bret is a former teacher and great guy!

MORE THAN 50 Professors are siding with the Students

http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/32946/

The School is crazy.

WTF? Send all of them to Guantanamo.

He's toast. 50 of the faculty have asked for his head.

Demonstrate accountability by pursuing a disciplinary investigation against Bret Weinstein according to guidelines in the Social Contract and Faculty Handbook. Weinstein has endangered faculty, staff, and students, making them targets of white supremacist backlash by promulgating misinformation in public emails, on national television, in news outlets, and on social media.

50 is about 25% of the faculty.

At least now I have the names of the stupid staff at Evergreen that enabled all those students to be so racist and violent. Time to search up those names and find dirt on them....

Yes, holding people hostage is "peaceful" protest. Sheesh.

"The only priority is that y'all stay in this space until those demands can happen so that's the only thing that we're concerned about," the protest leader reiterates, though he assures the administrators that "everyone's safety and health is concerned," and that food and water would be provided to them.

At one point, Bridges (the president) explains that he needs "to pee," to which one protester initially responds by sharply instructing him to "hold it," though he was eventually escorted to a nearby bathroom by a team of protesters.

They had already ensured with the chief of police that they would not be disturbed during their shakedown activity.

OMG is that POS school receiving federal and state dollars to support these future domestic terrorists? Is this really happening in the US? Is this where the left has gone? These people scare me every bit as much as the Trumpians, maybe more.

Make univs responsible for defaulted student loans.

You see? They've learned something as students. All that leftist guerilla training paid off.

“The priority is that they stay in that room. If they aren’t in that room, then we did something wrong, so you all need to watch that door, watch all the doors, the windows, you need to keep eyes on them,” one protester commands, referencing all of the potential exit points that administrators could use to make an escape. “Somebody needs to go in that room real quick to make sure there’s no way for them to leave.”

Brilliant! They accept consequences for their action, knowing that if "we d[o] something wrong", that undesirable things might occur.

These are our future leaders. We should not be so harsh on them.

Is he is a witch, why shouldn't we hunt him?

These stories truly document the bankruptcy of the left and coupled with the sad state of the Democratic Party, they break my heart. There is nowhere for middle of the road centrist democrats, who aren't engaged in identity politics and faux rage, to go anymore. Even beyond that, the left can't win an election to save its own life in 2017. You can't beat Trump, you ain't shiit. How pathetic, ugly and dangerous this new left is becoming.

You watch and see that at least some of these unchecked "student" activists will engage in criminal violence over the next few years. This is how domestic terrorism begins. That shhitt show of a school should be shuttered tomorrow and those sad sack academics should wake the eff up.

Is this a bug or a feature?
