Bret Weinstein CONFRONTED By Angry Students

one thing that is also annoying and I realized this god. I wish I was that

angry

because I spoke up. Evergreen State College is a small liberal arts college located in southwest Washington, founded in 1967, its doors opened in 1971, and was created for the express purpose of providing an alternative form of education to the public in the spring of 2017, a series of live-streamed protests by

students

launched a perennial effect on the national stage and a marked easing of disputes in higher education between academics focused on classical education and those who focused on social justice education. These two fields suffered dramatic blows when Brett Weinstein, a professor of evolutionary biology, was picketed outside his class by

students

who accused him of being racist;

His evidence derived from a series of emails he had written questioning the methods and suggestions. of the university's equity council who had been working hard at the behest of university president george bridges to redesign the university's role around notions of diversity and equal outcomes,

was the first stop on a week-long series of protests that culminated in students taking control of the library and administration building, holding senior administration hostage, and issuing a list of demands as long as they were contradictory. All of this was broadcast live on the Internet and the fallout resulted in the university closing for several days and moving. its graduation ceremony, an hour north of these events, the university has experienced a dramatic drop in enrollment and is now often referenced by journalists and public intellectuals whenever similar protests begin on other campuses.

I myself graduated from evergreen two weeks after the protests and have worked for the past two years to show the public what was happening behind the scenes and now I am ready to present to you in summary everything that I discovered during this investigation, the next videos that will, I hope, form the cornerstone of My entire exposition will be based on the events of May 2017, but I will go back and forth from there to provide the context of what is really happening and hopefully show you not only what happened but possibly what caused what happened to happen.

Did this problem start for you? um, I mean, throughout the year it was pretty consistent, but it got really bad once I made that post on Facebook that I was reading on Facebook and it said hey people, students of color, we're trying to have a class that's mostly people. . brown and black called mediaworks and what I did with the help of a friend was take the exact same post and change the major and the class just to show that if you can say this about this major, you know why. Can't you tell about this breed? So we put white in its place and then we uploaded it and then 300 something comments later that the whole school was not happy.

There were people who said he was a fragile white boy and then there were others. saying that I was a person of color who just wants to be white and that I don't act like people of color should and then there was an event where I was in the garden and someone came up and put their hands on the table. like that away from my face and he started yelling at me and they asked me are you going to stop being disrespectful and I asked and I said well what do you mean by disrespectful and his answer was are you going to stop being disrespectful and I was like I needed you to tell me what you mean with that and they were yelling, I was calm throughout the whole thing and when they didn't respond, I told them, then no, I won't stop being disrespectful because you won't respond to me.

I went to the police after that, but what did you do there? I just told them the events that happened and said this was the person who was yelling at me, this is what was happening and then what happened next was they called the other students. This was after we left and they had to go in and give their confessions and they like to say that they were arrested, but on the Facebook page of one of the students there is a video of what happened there and at no time was there any arrest. There was a group of what looked like 30 students inside the police services hanging out and one of the students who was supposedly detained and not allowed to use the bathroom or leave was walking freely in the lobby just chatting with people so Yeah.

Long story short, a person of color feeling threatened by other people of color and filing a complaint became one of the biggest reasons to start this great movement. I think it was about the next week that there were meetings where the students got together. Together it started with discussions about what problems people are having on campus and then how we can really qualify which statements are just emotional and which ones are actually occurring so that we can figure out what problems we can specifically address. There was another In the meeting where Keave came in, he had a written statement about collectivism that he wished he had heard, but the students didn't want to hear it and basically told him to leave after a few words were spoken and then an email went out. from wendy that he invited people to go to this meeting to discuss what happened over facebook, so i decided to go because i wanted to see if it had anything to do with

This isn't directed at any teachers or anything, well there's some staff. and professors who have also liked to have done and said anti-black things like the whole email chain with brett, the science faculty, have you read it yourself? Are you sure they have done it? Because my class is actually making a documentary about who your teacher is. I'll name a little bit of a phrase called black girl in the desert to describe this deep isolation that we feel as these kind of rebellious-mouthed women with the wrong hair and a lot of attitude and a rabid dedication in our work towards education as a truly liberating practice the day of absence the day of presence is about discussing issues related to inclusion, equity, gender diversity, sexual diversity, religious diversity, so inevitably every year at least one person will ask why we invite people who are identify as white to gather here. and people who identify as people of color, people of color, gather here and the reason for that is pretty simple, it's because people of color and white people experience racism differently and they're really different conversations that we're having. , we have people of color who stay. campus and we are encouraging white staff, faculty and students to leave campus to make the space at evergreen more focused on people of color over the years, they have never encouraged a race to leave, it has always been voluntary and also of that. socially it was not voluntary because if you chose not to leave or you chose to abstain from the event they would call you racist and then insult you like Brett was, it was a question or a complaint, because I think we should be very careful with that.

This, yes, there was no implication that whites would not be allowed on campus. Okay, there was before Brett lost his mind to the audience. Capture Jesus God. I hope I never go down this damn rabbit hole. was that white allies would be off campus and so there was an implication that if you were white and you showed up on campus then you were not an ally and that's what pushed me to respond and what I said was that there are all the difference in the world between the apostles sorry wait we don't have to watch the video.

Brandon wants to write huge messages in the chat explaining exactly what the video will cover. Let's read these guys, my bad destiny. They actually changed a decades-old rule that would specifically use priorities to take a day off to highlight the success of minorities in March 2017. Weinstein wrote a letter to Evergreen faculty opposing a change in the tradition of decades of college observing a day of absence. during which ethnic minority students and faculty would voluntarily stay off campus to highlight their contributions to the university thank you, thank you, and be absent from a shared space and population by telling another population, or we could simply read brett's email also, um dear Rashida.

When you first described the new structure to Dave, the absolute presence at a past faculty meeting where there was no room for questions, I thought of something to say what you said, later the emails seemed to muddy the waters even further by inviting commit to participate, I now see it from the Bold Text to the email that I did indeed understand your words correctly. There is a big difference between a group or coalition choosing to voluntarily be absent from a shared space to highlight their vital and underappreciated roles. Douglas Turner Neighborhood Game Day Theme. absence, as well as the recent Women's Day strike and a coalition group encouraging another group to leave;

The first is a forceful call to conscience that, of course, paralyzes the logic of oppression; the second is a show of force and an act of oppression in itself, you can take this letter as a formal protest of this year's structure and you can assume that I will be on campus on the day of the absence. I would encourage others to set aside the phenotype and reject this new formulation uh, whether or not they registered whether or not on a college campus, one had the right to speak or be, it should never be based on the color of the skin, I think it's fair, this is a fair email to leave and my point is that expression has to be free in a university. campus and that everyone has to be free to be there I thought those points would describe the woman who is attached is still obsessed with the man who has the greatest impact on her life, okay, I'm afraid it really can't be overlooked and I It was surprising how far from reality the answer was and after that there was a meeting to try to figure out what the next steps would be.

There was one student who stood up during the meeting and said all the things that were happening. on campus they don't mean anything and that things had to start changing faster, so they told the room that they were going to start a task committee and that that was going to be in the other room and that anyone who wanted to do it I could do it. Join the idiot committee, that's when the students brought up Weinstein's name and then in kind of a one-time decision they decided to protest Weinstein's class the next day, so it happens Monday and I'm in class and definitely I have a lot of anxiety.

I'm like, oh God, like this guy could blow up at any moment. People are starting to get really weird at our school. Monday passed and everything was fine. I was like "Okay, okay, maybe it's all in my head, everything's okay and then Tuesday." We hit and split into different floors to do an activity and my group turned out to be the largest and we were on the third floor and I stayed in the classroom because there was a group meeting there and then what were they? what you were talking about, we were actually talking about defining words, so we were talking about what we were talking about or making sure we knew what we were saying at that moment a group came in and lined up at the front of the room and just looked at us I stared and started seeing students coming in with brochures and asking where Brett was and my heart skipped a beat.

I immediately thought, "Oh my gosh, it's happening that this kid that I knew came into the room and handed me this um brett." email and he told me that brett was racist and that I should read the email and he was really nervous and really excited and he put it on all of our desks and the people I was in the discussion with were What is this? We had no idea what was happening. I got up and started running downstairs to go look for him. There was a large group of people walking up the stairs. At first I thought I had bumped into someone until I realized that they actually like to dodge and and and they got in front of me on purpose and I said oh, I'm sorry and and and this person said: where are you going? what are you doing? why are you leaving like this? fast and I got really aggressive um and I was like, I'm just going downstairs, I have a group of classmates downstairs, I'm going downstairs, the crowd had cornered Brett in the corner of the hallway and they were crowding around really hard.

First, they started trying to block my ability to speak and then they started singing things that were actually literally written on a page about racism on campus and anti-blackness, and we would like to reach out to the students. It's a little creepy. I happen to disagree with other people on this campus about how they are doing well, but I am not an irrational person. I'm not disinterested. I'm not uninformed about the story. I know the implications of these things. I've gotten to where I've gotten. I arrived by a routedifferent I got there through academic studies I know why racism happens we live racism we don't have to study it to understand them what a stupid statement everything that happens with all races and in class we had talked a lot about when someone is the target of a hunt of witches, they put it in this cartoon and then that's the narrative that they build around this person, it doesn't matter who they are or what they are anymore, but this cartoon is used to the advantage of whoever is hunting the witches and it's basically more of a strategic move than anything else about this person, so brett was trying to reason with the students and let them know that he wasn't this caricature that maybe they had been taught he was and Well, yeah, it was just explained and they weren't. having at all.

Debate means you are trying to win dialectic means you are using disagreement to find out what is true I am not interested in debate I am only interested in dialectic what it means I listen to you and you listen to me this is not about you I am talking this is not a discussion you've lost that one I'm talking about terms that serve the truth those are the issues do you understand that history could turn this hallway right now oh my goodness it could turn in the direction of the values ​​you are here for? Yeah, you give up what you give up, okay, I'll hand them over in a moment.

They just left and a couple of them were like jumping and dancing like it was a really strange atmosphere, like a carnival type atmosphere, which was really disturbing. Someone in the chat said: is there anything to say about how? Most of these people are women. Something I've heard over and over again. Lauren mentioned it and I heard it in real life. Afrosabi and Maddie also mentioned it when we did canvassing. Women tend to be. really politically involved in charity and empowered or involved in charity and politics at a local level, that's not so unusual that when you have like these local charities and when you have these local political things you have like people's door. -hitting and stuff, a lot of those participants are women, um, which is one of the arguments for having women participate in your movements because, especially if you have housewives and things like that, people have a lot of time to get involved in these. problems, so it behooves you to have them as part of your movement now that there is a college campus, I don't know if that's 100, the same applies here, but yeah, don't block me out of my way now. radio evergreen one turns back from the county immediately don't you block me out of my way now immediately we're in m2 the d building we're detained in is starting to disperse and heading towards um brett

weinstein

is today These days, I think it's part of idw, the intellectual dark web, and is basically one of the biggest purveyors of vaccine misinformation and other anti-woke nonsense, unfortunately, from everything I've seen of him, I haven't seen this video series yet.

He seemed like an almost reasonable guy, a semi-reasonable guy before all this happened, but I think once this happened, his mind went off the deep end, Trump predicted, um, which is to say, it happens unfortunately, yeah, when you receive so much rejection from some people. minds snap and instantly jump to the other side, but that's what, um, I don't even know if they're on the youtube list anymore. They may have been kicked out, but I know for a while it did. like he's engaged yeah he likes a podcast with this lady and they're basically like cut and paste like anti-sjws now and anthony establishment that's basically what they do but isn't that what happened?

Glenn Greenwald maybe yes, he's still reasonable, he's talking about his field of evolutionary biology, maybe, but everything I heard him say about vaccines is like copy and paste, like misinformation, like uneducated stuff, which is very surprising given your extensive education in this field, unfortunately, but um. yeah, oh, that's his wife, I didn't know, okay, I get you, red square, tell me the students have moved toward the red square at this point. When Thurston County arrives, have them retreat at the bus loop right now until we have a better idea. of what we're going through here, copy that, you know, I like the energy, but we need to have a strategy and a message before we show up in places or else everything can fragment now, I don't think that will be the case.

It's very difficult if people were willing to listen to each other, sit down and spend 15 minutes, 20 minutes, maybe an hour, understanding where each other is coming from, we might not come to an agreement on what to do, but we wouldn't. there would be so many misunderstandings. about what it is that I am trying to achieve what it is that you are trying to achieve and I think it would be valuable yes, I understand that also LCD students are

angry

and their anger is valid and here is my email. I will organize with them and schedule, so let me know when you are free to have that discussion and we will work something out with the students.

Fair enough, this is strange, since yes, you don't need to do that, you're black, let the white people do that white people white people I think it's important that the entire administration be in the same place so that they no longer They can lie and take responsibility in the same place at the same time with all these cameras so I would like Stacy Brown in uniform, yeah, so you don't need any of that, why don't we give her another one. We are people there, this is a gun free zone, so if you are going to invite your police officers, let them leave their weapons here. because where do we have a gun?

We don't have pocket knives we don't have guns we don't have anything so everyone does it I'm biased everyone expects us to have one I want to listen I can't promise you I'll get hurt. Can everyone question Evergreen's number and make calls to campus police officers? Yes, some people stay recording. Although, yes, there is Stacey Brown. The police chief is not a meeting. I can help? yeah, she needs to come to the library right now for what uh she just needs to be here for what she needs to come to the library for what reason what's going on hello, can you bring Stacey Brown to the library for what reason?

Would she do it, friend, if she worked at the police dispatch in a college town and had to deal with something like that or at the 911 dispatch? She would lose her mind over my Do you need my boss to come to the library? No, Stacy Brown, come on. to the library for what reason does the boss need to come to the library um there is a student meeting with the administration at the library right now we haven't heard of any meeting with the administration no one has contacted us well there is a right now and I'm telling you about that meeting, well, an administration calls us and asks us to go to the meeting, we will go to that meeting, okay, we call stacy brown, right, that's the name of the cockroach, okay, she He refuses to hang up on us. so let's do what we need with that information.

So what if we had a real emergency and they just wouldn't help us? Yeah, they won't come because you don't have a real 9-1-1 emergency dispatch job. is determining if there is an emergency and then if there is, they send the appropriate services to remedy said situation, but you didn't give them a reason to show up, so of course they're not coming, do we have to be white? for you to help us we have to be white we can't even get help from similar people who are supposed to protect us they are from us they are afraid we will try to hit us in the eyes with a mace and why we say like Hi brett you need to apologize so our parents, our grandparents and our community members are paying taxes right now and when our parents call to address issues saying there are racist situations or confrontations on campus and you are deliberately saying.

This is not happening right now, when you have like 200 people standing in a room, you are still telling parents and the community that this is not water, so I don't understand that you have to do something right now to make our parents they can reach out to understand you community love community love community love we have a room do you want to stay here do you want to go to room 4 300 upstairs if you haven't picked up the reason why they say like white students in front white students and back up the reason why they say things like this one is because they think that if they introduce themselves as black students, Officer John Wick will instantly murder them, so they cringe like, um, yeah.

Do you worry about our safety? Do you worry a lot? Okay, so why don't those ladies try to surprise us and tell Brett that he needs to apologize because they miss you? George, why did the police try to hit us with mace for no reason? Well, they didn't try to hit you with a mace, okay, it's not about whether they hit us with a mace, okay, boss, do I have the authority to change the results of that procedure? and the attorney general of washington state says no, yes, and the problem is you let other people do it, i'll keep that in mind if you ever wonder why we're losing culture or whatever because these are your representatives, they are not good, they are not good bosses, they are not good for the dean's meeting when there is a discussion about something that is happening. within her, oh she said she's going to decolonize space, her focus is the students themselves, I mean you may not believe it, but that's the main thing, okay, this is too and we're not talking about white students right now. about students of color and how you are going to help accommodate us, we are not talking about all students nor are we talking specifically about student success, you have a large demographic of being a predominantly white school and there is no question that you make the things are accessible and good for white students, but that's the problem: you're leaving out a lot of us who also deserve it.

Soy queen institutional change is slow here, oh impact today, why wait another 20 years to reach the level of contract violation there are no requirements, well I think there are many problems with contract violation , but I don't know about you, but a lot of my emails are ignored, so how can you say you are listening to my story and know what is being violated, if you don't even do it, my question is why do we have teachers working here What makes our students feel uncomfortable and unsafe? Yeah, yeah, you all are here for us, that just clicked with him, he said, "I can." I don't do homework while stressed about anti-blackness bro I was prioritizing my education when I had literal panic attacks sometimes because of this institution oh kill me fam I think we've made a concerted effort this year to try it. and no, no, this is not a public relations conference, this is not a public relations conference, right, if there had been an effort, we wouldn't be here right now.

The real question is also: I'm sorry this sounds cold, but was there great racism that actually did something. happens or are they just part of some ultra-woke school team, like there was a racist incident on campus or something, nothing you've done has made a difference, none of your efforts have worked, we're here together because none of your efforts It's worked, a lot of times this is the first time people come to college where they have to have those conversations and maybe they've never had these things verbalized to them before, so it can get really complicated and we completely understand that and we also understand it. we understand.

Those people speak from their own truth, so when you listen to students, when you listen to your peers, what they say about their experience is true for them and that should never be discounted, so I have many different types of privileges. um the two that are probably the most operative in my teaching are the fact that I'm white and healthy, that's my assumption, what do you think our privilege will be? I'm going to say white and able-bodied and I'm cisgender straight black woman I'm cisgender this must have been a couple of years before all white women started being non-binary I guess it was a mistake I dated myself a heterosexual woman, I am an immigrant and I am obtaining a green card.

For me it is something that has given me a lot of privileges. I am a cisgender, white, queer woman, and the first person in my family to go to university, I grew up working class, I am not disabled and I am fat and those are all identities that are important to me. I have a skin color that is different from many people in power, but I am a man. I'm straight. I am cis. Very polite. My private education. it's in math and physics, which gives me a lot of room to be kind of oh well, the scientist doesn't have to worry about social justice, right, science is about truth, the list of identities you could have for privileges, I can check them all off, other than being a woman, when I walk in the room, I don't know if it's male privilege, white privilege over educator privilege, you know, it's all over the list,ability, age, I can be helpful to cisgender white men who are trying to figure out what to do, I have many cards of privilege on how to move forward in a meaningful and respectful way regarding social justice.

I don't know if I said my pronouns and I don't remember, and that's my cisgender privilege. showing so that I use she and her pronoun I hear from white colleagues the feeling you know, but we are all human, we are all people and a mentor of mine, norma alicia pino, who used to work here, often talked about truth versus reality and the fact that it's true that we are all human, some of us may also identify as unicorns, but we are all human and oh this was before all the crazy identities took over because I'm pretty sure this statement wouldn't be right today, although it's ironic to see her making fun of those people when she probably joined them like five years later.

The reality is that some humans are treated differently because of systems of oppression, so I want you to work with one person. or maybe she's not being ironic, I don't know, she's actually talking about what's the truth in that statement that it happened a long time ago, right, maybe if you want to add something in there that happened a long time ago, you should get over it okay, but let's work with it which happened a long time ago what is the truth in that and then what is the reality of this statement um the reality is that our country was founded on white supremacy, an entrenched social economy, basically all the shared institutions that our society has yet. are So, based on racism, okay, let's get on with the story, what are we doing, man?

I don't need to see how these encourage white staff, faculty and students to leave campus, to make the space at Evergreen more people-centered. of color i think we all have social justice values ​​i also think it's actually true hexive the real problem here in my opinion for the representation of social justice is not that the students are stupid or whatever, it's that the administration gave in and cited against type in In my opinion, that is what will destroy faith and institutions and cause real damage. It will reduce progress. College students must be stupid. Administrative social processes are not supposed to be them.

Actually you are completely right. I don't blame college students at all when I think about it that way, it's true, it's not their fault, but what should have happened is that when college students start acting this way, professors and administration should facilitate and manage . I see what I did there, conversations between the kids and the staff, that's how it should be. It's happening, but when the administration starts to continually give in to one side, there is a collapse in the educational institution and now we have crazy college kids who are making decisions about campus politics when they really have nothing to do, so I don't think so.

Not all of us have the skills to deal with that, and particularly when I think about white men, I think about how we're actually trained and we don't have those skills, so it's a unique opportunity to get together and spend a couple of days and really looking more at delving into both equity issues and starting to develop some of those skills that we're going to take with us so that we can live our lives consistently with our social justice values. What consequences do faculty members face for making students feel unsafe? because when we make everyone feel unsafe we ​​get the police and the state troopers into the city police which is also annoying and I realized this god I wish I was so mad that my later talk at pepperdine and prager was I didn't record it because it would have been really good content, it would have shown what I'm talking about, the kids at that school, that high school kids went to that Pepperdine speech, they're like these people, but Prager turned them into like a 11 and turn them into these types of protests, um, but I feel like these types of professors and teachers are not, they probably don't have a lot of training or experience in de-escalating conflict or engaging people and having challenging conversations. in a way that makes them feel hurt and respected and I feel like there may be ways that these staff or teachers could have these conversations in a way that doesn't make them flare up so much.

Now I'm not criticizing the staff here because this type of conflict escalation is something I've worked on for five years to try to have conversations where people don't get angry and where both people are respectful but challenging at the same time. , it's very, very, very difficult. skill set that I have to have and I'm not even perfect at all times and I don't know if I could actually be perfect against a mob, right, maybe maybe not, but sometimes I wonder if that would help them a little bit in navigating these guys. of conversations yeah, um, no chance, students at a christian university compared to a liberal arts university in washington, I thought the kids at pepperdine were incredibly, I think it's a pretty progressive school, it could be a private school, but I'm pretty sure it's a pretty progressive area in California all over, but it's a process of changing the culture of the faculty.

I'm asking what are you doing, what are we doing right now at the faculty, we are currently trying to develop a teaching and learning center to provide professional development for them. so there's no conflict because like all the answers they're giving to teachers, it sounds like I'm a crazy student, you're like, well, we have a 32-step program that we did for some faculty members. being involved in that way sounds like a great solution, it sounds good so you're just giving me the straight answer which is really what it sounds like now, brett actually sounded decently compassionate outside of his classroom and it wasn't eliciting a good response .

I could have done a little better, but I don't know, I think it was in high school, I was at Pepperdine High School or Malibu College, it was a college in Malibu called Pepperdine College, but the kids there were very, very, very progressive like me. . I told you that during Prager's speech there were kids who were literally calling out to their parents, and since they were so excited about what happened, they were definitely a group of progressive kids, isn't that our money paying for that workshop? Yeah, no, it's all over, okay, third. and I don't think the final video on this, thanks guys, but there are mostly white people in this room and I love the love that is here and well, how is it possible that the teachers, the ones with power, are the ones who It is meaningless?

These white people here are the ones who were sent and they don't even work for you. Wait, I want to listen to some food while you do this. Why can't I fire them? Why can't you fire them? Hire some of these students here who apparently know how to act at approximately 9:30 in the morning a group of about 50 students were organizing a peaceful protest against anti-black comments that faculty member Brett Weinstein had made in emails. Previous emails Weinstein left the building after receiving reports of the students' plans attempted to block students from entering the building. He came out towards us.

We were all gathered outside. He opened the door and said, "Hey, what's going on?" Because my students already told me what's happening. More or less for transparency, we blocked it at first. He was trying to leave, but we didn't, we had a conversation with him, whatever the conversation was, and we asked Weinstein to take responsibility for his actions and the statements he made in the anti-black emails. he. The students were understandably upset, but not overtly threatening him in any harmful way, I don't care, our veterans send emails to the students once they entered the building, but they were disputing his rights to film the headers.

My gut tells me that if you guys are going to record me well, I want a record of that too. so you can't edit it, I think it was the right instinct, it turned out it wasn't necessary because it's not my fault, I took the videos and made them public and the videos spoke for themselves, do you remember you asked them not to film you or you refused ? Whether they film you or I don't think they did at all. Well, I don't think I did. Students then peppered a scene with questions asking him if he knew that what he did was harmful to both students and faculty of color.

He answered. who didn't think he was wrong in his actions, which upset both students of color and white students, wait, there's a 24-part story, wait, that's right, I wish, oh I, I thought it was three parts , we will finish seeing just this. one and then we will be done when you do something that is racist acknowledging it taking responsibility the students chanted and continued trying to make their feelings known to Weinstein, but he refused to listen and instead tried several times to take over the speech. and have students listen to it on the day of absence has been here longer than I have.

I never protested to the building as I chanted and walked through the hallways of Seminary Building 2 on the second floor at this point the students were attempting to report and discuss what just occurred when Officer Timothy Odell arrived and attempted to push his way through the crowd. of white students protecting people of color and those with disabilities. Don't block me out of my way. Now, Police Chief Stacey. brown also arrived and tried to help odell without costing the people of color after a time of non-violent dialogue, most of the students began to go down the stairs towards the red square when the majority of the group reached the red square, both State troopers such as Olympia police showed up and began threatening students with mace and arrest video.

Evergreen, please have Thurston County stand down right now. We don't need an answer. We have a crowd dissipating. Only for them to be left next to the students who feared for their lives and began to retreat. toward the library and eventually ended up in the queer transit center unit room trying to stay safe, then white students were delegated to spread out across the library floor and watch for police potentially surrounding the building . The white students did not see the police around the building. But from this point on, most of them have retreated, let's take a bird's eye view of the situation.

What we have here are the Sim2 buildings, they are laid out in this strange way, it says sim a sim b sim c some d y sim e from what I have gathered brett weinstein's class was in sem the protesters came out and then went down to sem d and that's where the police officers saw them. Timothy o'dell goes down to the second level and they have that miniature confrontation. Stacy Brown then goes and looks for an alternate entrance to the area because they think that since they got a call with students cornered, okay, I don't think we need to see them.

Someone told me that President Sunday misrepresents the Weinstein affair a lot in this video. so he just wanted to get some background to see what really happened before hearing his take on things. Hello everyone, at the conclusion of my last conversation with destiny we agreed to have a structured meeting at some undetermined time in the near future. short conversation debate whether there is a progressive orthodoxy in academia that affects academic freedom. I don't think an impromptu conversation like this is going to do the work any of us needed to get around to liking each other. resolution one way or another, I don't know when, but we should try to address this at some point a little more seriously.

I'm sure whether academic institutions are pushing or not, well, let's hack, let's analyze what's what. actually we're talking specifically and if there's not something more central that we can we can focus on, but things like this because I don't want to be like gesturing vaguely I have roles and actions and things like That's it, let's do what we can, if we can't, we don't we did it. In fact, I'm sure I'll shoot you later and then we continued our exchanges in private messages instead of a thesis he couldn't provide. In a timely manner, the referred fate among subreddit posts would provide a list of professors and academics whose removal from their positions or from the academy in general was affected by that progressive orthodoxy, so first of all I thank those who contributed to that separation, since it made me much simpler over the course of the week, with the help of my people, I review all the cases listed in the broadcast in some level of detail and make sure that my opponent is as prepared as possible, as I said, what I will do.

I'm going to briefly review my findings in this short video, as we'll see that most cases were not forced resolutions or evendeletions, so I covered the list of examples in the order they are in the red publication and I will summarize our findings in the same way, first, brett weinstein, whose reservation of evergreens to the university, the condition of a settlement of a lawsuit brought against the university for reasons that likely would not have been sustained if it had refused to settle, Weinstein claimed that the university did not provide wait what Green State College's condition was for a settlement of a lawsuit brought against the university for reasons that probably would not have been sustained if he had rejected the settlement weinstein claimed that the university did not provide adequate protection to staff amid professionals who settled a lawsuit with him for 500,000 and he thinks and you believe that he would have lost that demand.

I feel like you need a little more information there, but the evidence that by the way you were not concerned about, despite your misunderstandings, still, when the campus police arrived for your protection, they reported that you were fired by the president of the university He insisted that his job was not in any danger. On the contrary, what put Weinstein at odds with the students was a strident objection to an email announcing an annual leave day. This was normal for that university that appears to consist of two programs. electives, one from time to time and one from time to time, oh no, but it was not normal, oh, how did he get this incorrect information?

The point of the email was that this was not a normal day of absence, this was a fourth day of absence for whites, this was something the school had not done before this because I think brett weinstein supported it the time before this, um, where you could voluntarily retract, but the forced one was a campus for allies and racial minorities respectively and a reversal of previous years that did not contain any proposals to prohibit students or staff of any kind from attending the university campus on those two days, Weinstein incurred In the hostility of activists on campus when he emailed the organizer suggesting he would hold a public lecture on race and Evolution as an Alternative, I reviewed all recorded interactions between Weinstein and the students and what resulted were arguments that he was never there. in danger, on the contrary, as a result of having misunderstood the nature of the student protests that again, to the extent that they involved him, only did so because he voluntarily engaged in them and encouraged the campus to break them up.

Many students and staff were eventually forced to leave evergreen due to harassment resulting from their strident misrepresentations to conservatives. The media, unlike me, this sounds, this is wrong, so the students, but literally outside, were asking him to resign. I don't think he or at least I didn't watch any video if I'm making any strident misrepresentations. It seemed like everything was pretty correct um einstein these guys left without being able to sell their positions for a half million dollar settlement for a spurious lawsuit that the university still insists is spurious to call it a spurious lawsuit you don't really know right that's right what we're doing, you can't, we really shouldn't be in the business of making assumptions about deals, but especially in this case, I think it's a little unfair, not having committed any crime and weinstein became an accomplice to ivor mektin as cure for covid, which is not relevant to any of this, says a lot about his credibility, usually in inaudible, it is not, although it is a bad character attack in this way, in short, weinstein was a tenured professor who did what they easily read as racist implications for a cult that is Absolutely not true, President Sunday has not read the emails, which is strange because if he is doing research for this, I would have expected him to.

The university organizer intentionally engaged with students protesting racism in police practice and was protected by the university as stated by the university. The president fired the campus police when they showed up for his protection and sued the university on the spurious argument that all criticism of him was the result of standing his ground without administrative protection against campus protesters who wanted to evacuate whites from the campus. university and then voluntarily resigned as part of an extremely lucrative deal, in any case the only thing that was protected was Weinstein's speech, in this case he was not forced to resign by any progressive orthodoxy and, had it not been for his decision to agree to leave for half a million dollars, he would have remained protected by his institutional government been in that university next we have well, I'm going to have to read and investigate all these cases, which I will get to, eventually I will do this, um, he is in the youtube chat, yes I watch it, but I like it, I've done it.

I haven't investigated all the other cases yet. Well, what do you think? What were the clear racist insinuations? Um, dear Rashida, when you first described the new structure for absence day and presence day at a past faculty meeting, we read this. part let me assume that I will be on campus would encourage others to set aside the phenotype and reject this new formulation there was interest in a public presentation a discussion of race through such a revolutionary scientific lens I would be quite willing to organize such In case of material, I have taught in my own program and given guest lectures on Evergreen and elsewhere.

Everyone will be equally welcome and encouraged to attend such a forum, regardless of their ethnic origin. Blue structure. Native language. Political inclinations or position of the university. My only requirement would be people. Please attend with an open mind and a willingness to act in good faith if there is interest or such an event please let me know. He sent an email to the entire alumni body with the word true black. What is the evidence that he sent to campus police and the video it looked like? like they showed up after the students left, that's what it looks like, it looks like the campus police showed up after most of the students left and said you guys can leave, we don't need you, that's what it looked like from what I saw, but so I don't think that's evidence of anything other than
