I see your points and laugh at them all. There's no validity to the "no whites day" or the protest and the only right action was to conduct business as usual

Too bad the professor decided to talk about white people being oppressed rather than taking your advice and just conducting business as usual. Whether or not you agree with the protest, there's no way the professor shouldn't have known that his words would spark outrage unless he were a complete idiot. There's a difference between this professor talking about the problems with the way this day was being handled versus calling it oppression. It's a delicate issue that the professor handled poorly.

Except you forget that when he tried to just conduct business as usual, that's when he was confronted by the angry mob. His words came AFTER all normal activities had been disrupted and he had personally been assailed. More importantly, there's zero merit to the idea of "avoiding outrage" when particular positions are justified. Historically, policies of appeasement have never worked out well for the surrendering party.

And, of course, when people aren't being rational, it rarely benefits anybody to just capitulate. One of the few exceptions is if you're trying to sleep with a crazy chick because, even though you know you're putting up with nonsense, you want to sleep with her.

I got this from the Wikipedia:

Full-time students enroll in interdisciplinary academic programs instead of classes. Programs typically offer students the opportunity to study several disciplines in a coordinated manner. Faculty write narrative evaluations of students' work in place of issuing grades.

Evergreen is one of the least selective universities in the nation with an admittance rate of 98%.

So it doesn't really surprise me what I see in this video.

C'mon! This place CAN'T be real!
