Evergreen State College

[wufan]

Evergreen State College is, per their mission statement, "an innovative public liberal arts college, Evergreen emphasizes collaborative, interdisciplinary learning across significant differences. Our academic community engages students in defining and thinking critically about their learning. Evergreen supports and benefits from local and global commitment to social justice, diversity, environmental stewardship and service in the public interest."

They are a post-modern college located in Olympia, Washington and are well know. For their interdisciplinary studies where they do Self-directed seminar studies in science classes such as "Biology, Chemistry, and Dance." Last fall they instituted the "Equity Council", which can be viewed here: http://www.evergreen.edu/equity/council

Each spring the minority students have had a "walk-out" session to protest inequality. This spring, at the urging of students on the Equity Council, it was determined that the white students should instead be asked to leave campus to "[discuss their experiences with racism that are different than black students]".

One professor stated that asking another race to leave is, in fact, racist.

Following the event, the students took over the school and trapped the president in he library. They then proceeded to make demands for change against the inherent racism at the school and to fire the racist professor that claimed that asking white students to leave was racist.

Here's a snipet of the open forum meeting after the confrontation with "racist" professor Brett Weinstein, and the actual "hostage" situation with the president. Intersectionality in practice at ESC: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bO1agIlLlhg

Here is another example. These black students were treated unfairly although they weren't specific on how they were treated unfairly. The local media was harassed and threatened by the students who had a 3 day sit in with no school/classes being held.

SANTA CRUZ >> UC Santa Cruz has agreed to the demands of the Afrikan Black Student Alliance after a three-day occupation of Kerr Hall, the primary administration building on campus. The protesters did ask for separate housing from white students.

To loud cheers of victory, UCSC director of News and Media Relations Scott Hernandez-Jason stood before hundreds of students at Kerr Hall about 5:30 p.m. Thursday and announced that the university was committed to better serving its African, black and Caribbean-identified students.
To illustrate this, UCSC Chancellor George Blumenthal agreed to the Alliance’s demands and made the following commitments:


• UCSC committed to extending up to a four-year housing guarantee to all students from underrepresented communities who applied to and live in the Rosa Parks African American Theme House.
• UCSC committed to converting the first floor lounge area of the Rosa Parks African American Theme House from housing back to a community lounge space.
• USCS committed to painting the exterior of the Rosa Parks African American Theme House in the Pan-Afrikan colors red, gold and green.
• USCS committed to delivering a mandatory “educational diversity” orientation to all incoming freshmen and transfer students.

They don't call it the left coast for nothing. I feel for those kids. They are so unprepared for life it's not funny.

And you are being way to kind.

Here's an article from mainstream Canadians on intersectionality. https://nowtoronto.com/news/city-cou...wareness-week/

"Instead, Wong-Tam’s motion, which she says was the brainchild of “a dynamic young, LGBTQ2S+ racialized woman working with my office,” reduced intersectionality to an amalgamation of differences residing in one body, a kind of individual multiculturalism. It missed the now broader and more nuanced understanding of the term – not to mention the Black feminist and labour movements that inspired it."

"an amalgamation of differences residing in one body"

Isn't that just another way of saying "a person with diverse background and interests"? Now it has to be some sort of recognized identity?

Hold on, folks. This ride is only getting started.
