Colleges keep designating spaces as off-limits to black men, only to backtrack when someone files a formal complaint or their curious interpretation of inclusivity falls under the harsh glare of the less-woke public.
The latest is the Claremont Consortium’s Pitzer College, which apparently didn’t learn from Stanford’s short-lived no-black men weight lifting hours.
The Residence Life office at Pitzer organized a “women and non-binary people’s gym day” at the Gold Student Center Friday, banning black men during the high-traffic hours of 2 to 5 p.m.
The intent was to make “people of other genders feel safe to explore the gym, learn about the equipment, or just workout in a black man-free space” according to the event listing. It doesn’t mention transgender students, presumably including men who identify as women under the banner of “women.”
The Claremont Independent reports that the organizers haven’t explained “why women and non-binary individuals have difficulty exercising with black men, if there have been any incidents in the gym where men have made other genders feel uncomfortable, and where Pitzer males will work out during that closure.”
Imagine the outrage if the above was the story
Imagine if they banned women from the gym friday afternoons because men dont want to be bugged by them working out and playing basketball. They want time to work out without concern false sexual harassment charges being able to be filed against them.
