Gordon Klein, professor of accounting, has been suspended for three weeks

Non-black students emailed asking for leniency in marking black peers' work

Klein replied that he had no idea who was black given the course was online

He asked how he should grade people of multiple ethnicities

Klein noted MLK's fight for people to not be evaluated based on skin color

A petition to see Klein removed now has almost 20,000 signatures

Academics have defended Klein for 'treating students on the basis of equality'

In light of how things are trending, why would anybody use a black doctor, a black engineer, a black accountant or a black anything that requires minimum standards? Do the people peddling this disparate treatment not realize they are doing substantial harm to the very people they’re trying to help?

“Those people” have no integrity, and inevitably displaced those more capable.

Punished for refusing to give an advantage to one race of students? Sure seems like an easy lawsuit.

It’s awarded to screamers who are easy, I guess.
