On Tucker Carlson:
Prof: Country is being put in danger by identity politics
May. 25, 2018 - 5:33 - ‘Inside the Issues’: Former Evergreen State College professor Bret Weinstein reflects on the lessons learned in the year since a campus mob targeted him when he refused to participate in a ‘Day of Absence’ where white people were told to leave campus - and he ultimately resigned. #Tucker

“Free expression” as in Stalinist/Maoist/Militantly Anti-Zionist, yes.
What would please me most would be to see them reduce faculty salary to 1/3 of its present rate. Say the average prof there makes $120K, then his new salary would be $40K. And if they don't like it, let them quit.
Even at $40K they'd have 100 applicants for every open position. That is not an exaggeration. It's a buyer's market for liberal arts professors. A friend of mine is an administrator at a local college and she said for one opening for a sh*t teaching job, she had to cull almost 400 applications down to 10 finalists, just for one opening.
Evergreen State College is proof that Cultural Marxism is a threat to America. Everything it touches burns out the soul of what made America great.
Gangs of students roving campus while carrying baseball bats, looking for white people to beat up, are very expressive.
First, this cut only takes them through the rest of this year and spring of 2019. By May of 2019....there’s likely to be the next cut announced, or significant tuition rise.
Second, at the heart of the matter....this is really a lesson in capitalism. If you can’t make a profit or sustain your operation....you cut. There should an entire class offered at the school to explain capitalism and how things work in the real world.
$250,000 needed to keep the 200-seat theater open. That’s $1,250 per seat. 36 shows a year at $40/ticket will cover it. I guess they don’t teach “how to manage a theater without going broke” at the school?
Heck they don’t even need to put on their own productions all the time. Just book the theater more often. Let bands play there and promote it for you. Have some stand-up comic nights. Run a few classic movies that people will pay to go see. But I get the impression that this place suffers from “that’s not my job” syndrome. The students aren’t there to run the place, and the teachers are there to, well, do something unrelated to actually working to keep their theater and their jobs I guess.
You might be interested in this story, Bret Weinstein (the professor who quit his job at Evergreen along with his wife because they thought the “no white people day” was obviously racists and were ostracized for it) are part of what they or the NYT call a burgeoning “intellectual dark web” of disenchanted actvists. The article goes into some detail about Weinstein and others including Joe Rogan, Kanye West, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and many others. Some of them are making bigger bucks selling speaking engagements and asking for donations on podcasts, etc than they were being scientists or professors.

Being a liberal isn’t a “Art”, it’s a mental illness.
One of Evergreen’s professors was an old Trotskyite communist, Stephanie Coontz. She was in the Socialist Workers Party for many years but I don’t know if she left it before it collapsed or not.
Now she’s a “leading” feminist theories writer and has books reviewed in the Wash. Post Book Section.
Tank, you leftist indoctrination brain washing camp!
I’m going to guess that the productions put on by this campus had zero public appeal. I’m sure Shakespeare wasn’t performed, because white patriarchy and all.
Get woke, go broke. I love a happy ending, from my perspective. Starve liberals of money, folks.

Well known as nothing burger college
I think Evergreen can use a few Caterpillars. Bulldoze the place to the ground.
