My my, the hyperbole!
Where do the other entrants rank in this "contest"? North Korea? China? Stasi of old? Davidson better put up or shut up. Where are the figures? What is the metric?

College — the final frontier of your official academic exploration.
What goodies might await, once you exit that premium educational institution known as high school?
If you’re planning to enroll in secondary school in Davidson, North Carolina, the answer could involve abolition.
Of law enforcement, that is.
As reported by Campus Reform, those attending Davidson College will have the opportunity to get their skulls schooled via a scolding of cops.
As announced on Davidson’s website, instructor Garcia-Rojas will teach the following course:
AFR 222 – #Abolishthepolice: Race and Policing in the U.S.
“This critical Black studies course,” the site explains, “explores the specific relationship between Blackness and policing in the U.S. from a philosophical perspective.”
We’ve reached a notably new place, societally. “Blackness” — as it relates to what someone endures in a world filled with “whiteness” — didn’t exist as a ubiquitous concept just a few years ago.
But these days, it seems heralded as a core of life in America — as the citizenry’s divided into Victims and Oppressors.
Mental Health Journal's Article on 'Parasitic Whiteness' Laments There's 'Not Yet a Permanent Cure'

Also on the move: the notion of seeing color to the exclusion of unity — it’s presently portrayed as a virtue.
Gone are the days of yore:
Togetherness is no longer…in vogue.
Back to the North Carolina classroom:
We will enlist Black political and feminist theories and social and political philosophies to critically examine and think through issues of race, criminalization, incarceration, police militarization, predictive policing, surveillance, and domestic security.
Furthermore:
As numerous experts have shown, the U.S. has the highest rate of police violence and misconduct in the world…
Which countries were considered in such a study?
Whatever the case, there are racist roots:
Scholars have shown that Black, brown, and indigenous people are disproportionate police targets.
The course will also take a stand for transgendered victims:
And because police violence and gendered violence are intrinsically connected, Black trans and gender nonconforming people, and Black people with disabilities and mental health issues, routinely experience surveillance, arrest, incarceration, and sexual assault at the hands of law enforcement at significantly higher rates than any other racial demographic.
Professor Claudia Garcia-Rojas has her own take; perhaps reform isn’t the answer:
While current mainstream conversations ask how can we reform the police to lessen harm against marginalized communities, I suggest we begin elsewhere. To understand the root causes of policing, I propose we begin with a deceptively simple question: What is policing?
Claudia appears to share the view of a Cypress College instructor who made headlines in April.
Responding to a student’s suggestion that police are “heroes,” here’s what she had to say:
“I wouldn’t call the police. … I don’t trust them. … My life’s in more danger in their [presence].”
Who would she call?
“I wouldn’t call anybody.”
If enough people come over to Claudia Garcia-Rojas’s side of the issue, perhaps Americans will no longer have to make that decision.
And students have good reason to take the class.
As indicated online, #Abolishthepolice helps complete a few different avenues of study:
Satisfies Africana Studies major requirement.
Satisfies Sociology major requirement.
And:
Satisfies Social and Scientific Thought requirement.
It’s a lot to think about, socially and scientifically.
Will removing the primary source for enforcing laws result in a more lawful — AKA a safer and more civilized — world?
If I had to guess, I’d say No.
But admittedly, I went to college in the dark days, before our modern enlightenment.
America has the highest rate of academic incompetence in the world.
Why in the world do folks still attend very expensive indoctrination centers ( aka “ universities “ ) ?
“ America has the highest rate of academic incompetence in the world”
And thats it in a nutshell (pun intended). Another institute of indoctrination preparing their students for lifetime employment in the fast food industry. Seriously they should reduce their majors to a single major called “Complainology”.
American as so lucky, that they cannot even understand what is real police misconduct.
What they call police misconduct here is routine, standard procedure in most of the world.
I would like to talk to these “numerous experts” and send them to e.g. China.

Professor Stupid Fuck should go to Mexico City without a passport and try to shoplift under 950.00 American Gringo dollars.
Because as good commies they turn a blind eye to what is actually done by the regimes
All this “education” for a mere $70,225/year.
Includes tuition, room and board, routine medical care, and a mailbox at the Campus Center.

The odds of an unarmed black person getting shot by police is lower than being struck by lightning
Adding to America has the highest rate of academic incompetence in the world:
* America has the highest rate of academic Marxists/communists/socialists professors, administrators and researchers in the western hemisphere except for Communist Cuba (and maybe Nicaragua and Venezuela, in parts of their countries).
* American has the highest rate of black racists (Marxist, fascists, reparationists, Pan-Africanists) in universities in the western world.
* America has the highest rate of black on black crime in North America and possibly in the western hemisphere.
* America has had a long list of incompetent black police chiefs who learned their incompentence from white COPs (such as Minneapolis’ Bourza). Just check the major cities where they have been in charge versus crime rates over the past 15 years. They didn’t go down.
Davidson College, trying to be voted the Most Stupid College in America, and succeeding.
College degrees these days are on a par with schools that advertise on matchbook overs.
Maybe that’s because we have the highest rate of crime from certain demographic sections of the population??????
Anyone who has traveled to another country knows this person, Garcia-Rojas, has never done so. He should take a trip to our southern neighbor to see what real misconduct is all about.
Are they going to address and study the preposterous idea if you do not commit crimes you do not come into contact with law enforcement??
I know one thing that Davidson College does is screw up traffic going through Town. There are more people crossing Main Street than cars driving on it.
There was a pedestrian hit by a car the other week according to the snewz report. I’m thinking that it was the other way around because traffic can’t even get up to a few MPH. If one got a copy of the Police report the diagram would show that the Pedestrian walked into the side of the car !
I’m guessing that they are leaving the Coffee Shops after loading up on caffeine before class.
Nicely played
Exit 30 off I-77. Trying to get thru Davidson on the main street sucks most any time...I try to avoid. I knew the college was loony tunes liberal. Just didn’t realize they were stoopit. After being there for decades, one of the best building supply companies (Hoke Building Supply) finally moved out. I was glad to see them get the heck out of Davidson.
