Threat closes Evergreen State College amid high race tensions | KIRO-TV

Quote:
Evergreen State College closed due to a threat after a multicultural group suggested white people leave for a non-racist “day of absence.”

The liberal school’s campus is located off Evergreen Parkway in Olympia. Evergreen posted the following on its website: “In response to a direct threat to campus safety, the college is closing immediately for the day. All are asked to leave campus or return to residence halls for instructions.”
I'm just so shocked.

Racism at a liberal college. Say it isn't so. Who would have ever thought such a thing could happen in such a tolerant place with tolerant people who want peace and happiness for everyone.






Oh, unless you're white.

Did they look in the mirror? I'll bet you that most of the people going to school there are....white.

Evergreen produced Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons. Let's not be too harsh in our criticism.

University has changed a bit over the years. Harvard now has segregated graduation, and until 2017 there wasn't old school southern style segregation in the North.

The initial email calling for this day was sent by Rashida Love, Director of First Peoples Multicultural Advising Services.

Gotta love that job title.

The picture I found of her is pretty nice though. She's sexy for a racist loon.

But what is racist about it ?


it seems the school has done this for 40 years, they just wanted to swtich the races for one year. And its voluntary, no one has to participate.

Trump destroyed it in slightly more than 100 days.
