Ahhh a liberal spending a lifetime kissing black ass gets fired for not shutting up when called a racist by an entitled privileged strong black woman. Lolz
She wasn't fired over a test question, she was fired for going after a student on social media.
And guess what? Anyone that dense deserves to lose her job.
Yeah, but, but claiming she was fired over a 'racist' question just sounds sooo much more egregious.
That's what white conservatives do here, misrepresent all the horrors they're subjected to, like having to pay taxes and having to deal with all the reverse discrimination they're subjected to every single day of their oppressed lives...
A young African American student, a person who is attending college to LEARN something, thinks she is more informed on a subject (possibly due to the color of her skin) than a professor, a person with a MA, a MS or a PHd in the subject she has taught for 17 years, so she accuses that professor of being a racist who couldn't possibly know anything (likely due to the color of HER skin), then when the professor and nearly 20 years worth of her students of color attempt to defend the professor, claiming she isn't a racist, the student now needs to be removed from the class because she needs a "SAFE space", then demands the professor be fired?
I guess colleges and universities are only needed to hand a student a piece of paper (degree) to prove the student already knows everything... and the whole lecturing, teaching and giving tests to verify knowledge business can be eliminated now.
I learn something new every day, even if what I learned makes no sense.
TRUTH is only a matter of perspective for many folks (possibly myself included). Reality and fact means nothing to them.

I think the professor was wrong but I'll be damned if I ever stop complaining about taxes!
After being publicly called a racist. The radicalized BLM movement is getting out of control and destroying our country and college campuses. They have the power to go on social media and call anyone a racist. Once that gauntlet has been thrown the truth doesn't matter. The professor was already labeled a racist and that is all people will care to see in headlines. It is like what happened to Colin Moriarty. He tweeted "Ah. Peace and quiet.#ADayWithoutAWoman" and a so called journalist picked that up and turned it into click bait headline that he was a racist sexist even though his tweet was A. a joke and B. didn't even mention race in any way. And the the "journalist" retracted the statement after Moriarty was forced to resign from his job. The country has gone crazy. Anyone can post anything on social media without facts and it will be taken as the gospel by a million people and by the time it is retracted nobody cares because everyone wants that sensational headline. This is how our civilization will end
Who is supposed to be the adult and professional in this situation?
The student is an idiot. The professor is also an idiot and is being paid to be more than that. So guess who lost in this situation?
And I thought the Evergreen controversy was bad. Our country is officially going insane.
Reading the article, I don't think this one can be simplified quite that easily. The Multiple-Choice question that sparked this controversy is indeed problematic. I don't think the answer was quite so clear cut. The professor seemed to want the students to answer D, but there is not scholarly consensus behind that answer. The student was right to disagree with the professor over that. The professor also seems to have behaved inappropriately toward the student in how she addressed the controversy after it erupted.
This one isn't clear cut like the Evergreen one was.
The student's original question was actually valid. She had a point. The student WAS completely wrong in accusing the professor of racism however. Again though, the professor wasn't fired over being racist, because it's clear she wasn't. She was fired over being an idiot and attacking a student in a public forum.
Agreed. That was just a bad multiple choice question. Would be a better essay question. None of those choices is clear cut as the correct answer.
