BSU drags its feet in releasing contract with racist speaker Ibram X. Kendi

Boise State University is dragging its feet in releasing a copy of the contract the school signed with racist speaker Ibram X. Kendi. The university’s spokesman, Mike Sharp, sent the Idaho Freedom Foundation an email Wednesday that said it could take the school until Feb. 1 to locate the records we’re looking for: the contract with Kendi, costs, and terms for participating in BSU’s Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration earlier this week.

That’s ridiculous. It’s an obvious misuse of the state’s public records law, and it’s designed to buy the school time as it gets ready to release what I expect will be embarrassing details of Kendi’s contract and speaking fees and who paid them.

Kendi was invited to participate in a question and answer session that lasted a little more than an hour. Kendi is a professor at Boston University where he heads the “Center for Antiracist Research,” but he’s well known as the intellectual leader of the Marxist critical race theory and other ideas that suggest that America is, at its core, a racist country with racist institutions that predate the founding of our country.

Researching the professor’s activities a couple of years ago, The College Fix found that Kendi had collected more than $300,000 for his appearances at colleges and public schools across the country. About a year ago, the Daily Wire reported that Kendi was taking in $500 a minute for a speech at the University of Virginia.

Under Idaho law, a government agency is supposed to respond to a public records request within three days, but agencies can take more time.The statute says, “If it is determined by employees of the public agency that a longer period of time is needed to locate or retrieve the public records...”

If the white man is so racist, how did a loudmouth black not get strung up in Idaho?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Fake fake fake African.

The real name of this racist SOB is Henry Rogers.

They love those fake names! Just throw a couple of "X"'s in there and pick some random tiles from a Scrabble game. Then for "authenticity", something muslim always adds "authenticity" and a nice touch.

I'd respect Henry Rogers more if he were real and not a caricature Negro.

[EEGator]

Maybe he’ll have a Malcolm X type future.

I doubt it though. At least Malcolm said some real things in multiple directions.
That got him killed of course…

The liberal students would cancel someone like Jordan Peterson, but they will celebrate that racist Kendi. Oh that’s right…black people cant be racist.

And the stupid multicolored haired, nose ringed, dirty, woke idiots will rejoice

[Carl Vehse]

The Boise State University President, the Board of Regents, and other school officials involved in the contract should be charged with giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Cut off his dreads and he’s a nobody.

It is astounding that anyone is willing to listen to this charlatan let alone that he gets paid $500 a minute to spew his garbage.

BTW, born Ibram Henry Rogers in Queens, NYC.

BU is wasting a lot of money.

Boise on the slippery slope.......

[aquila48]

Is this a precursor to Idaho starting to turn blue the way Arizona has?

There’s a ton of Californicators invading Idaho, so, sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised.

[EEGator]

I have no personal knowledge, but have been told Boise is going the wrong direction.

I don’t know about Idaho in general.

[LFOD]

I lived in Boise 40+ years ago.

How far Idaho has fallen............

[davidb56]

Southern Idaho, especially the eastern part like Twin Falls, is infested with libs, tax lovers and forced max/mask type people.

[Fightin Whitey]

How far Idaho has fallen.........

Nahhh...there are plenty of damned good folk still in Idaho, and plenty more busting their butts in hopes of getting there too.

The worry isn't so much about Idaho falling, it's the calibre of those who want to be welcomed without earning the entrance fees.

I lived there for years and saw plenty of losers, rich and poor, but I also was lent a hand again and again once I had chipped in a few times, lent my own hand, did my share and then some, and---best of all---felt damned pleased to do it amongst friends and neighbors I will value all my life.

To quote my now broken - but fondly remembered - office coffee mug covered with clever sayings:

“If you cannot be part of the solution, there’s still good money to be made in prolonging the problem.”

CRT, DEI, BLM, LGBTQ+, etc. hustlers… er, advocates…don’t want their “problems” solved. Just yield power to them and, most importantly, send money, lots of money.

And any attempts to counter/push back will result in new accusations of white supremacy/privilege/patriarchy/transphobia/etc.

It’s more the MS sorts from seattle then what you’re suggesting, as a good chunk of the CA refugees in ID are on our side…
