If you are paying attention to college campus culture these days, you have probably noticed the heightened level of absurdity pushed by Social Justice Warriors. This week, the SJWs took it to a new level of idiocy by going after Bret Weinstein, a lifelong champion of progressive values. The borderline violent mob of immature malcontents had no interest in rationally discussing their grievances with Weinstein. If they had, they might have learned that Weinstein is not their enemy.
The word “irrational” can’t even begin to describe the mood of this SJW mob. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to imagine what is going through their minds as they berate an innocent man. They surrounded Weinstein on campus, started screaming at him, labeled him a racist and insisted that he resign.
It all started over a disagreement about Evergreen State College’s annual Day of Absence. The Day of Absence is a day where white people are asked to not come to campus so people of color can reflect on and discuss race relations in America. The Day of Absence sounds crazy to people who believe in Martin Luther King Jr’s sentiments, “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” But hey, this is modern leftism, and modern leftism has gone off the rails.

Challenged an Israeli D9 bulldozer - the D9 won......
It’s a liberal arts school. They accept anyone.

“98% acceptance rate.”

Astonishing !

Is that true?? You can’t make this stuff up.
This college is located in Olympia, Washington.
As opposed to other liberal arts schools:
Swarthmore: 12%
Amherst: 14%
Williams: 17%
Who in their right mind would hire an Evergreen State College grad?
And they are finding out they taste like sh*t and the random hairs and unidentifiable crunch bits don't help either.

I could be mistaken, but there is not one single name I recognize as having made any significant contribution to a better life on Planet Earth.
Reminds me of Mao’s Cultural Revolution. A generation of ignorant fanatics egged on by a leader until they were out of control. Mau told them it was counter-revolutionary to suggest that anyone could do anything any better than the average peasant, and they terrorized or killed anyone in a position of authority, even lifelong communists. Finally Mao had to send in the Army to put them down.
The State of Washington and the City of Olympia (Olympia is the state capital)
I live 2 miles east of the campus. The "Greeners" (as they call themselves) are unique who would not fit in any place other than progressive civil servant positions.
For some people its just in their nature to keep pushing until the other side pushes back. The idea of self restraint is abhorrent to them. Until someone tells the social justice bullies enough is enough they won’t stop.
Sure he is. Weinstein is white, male, and won't do as he is told. His political beliefs aren't relevant in the context of this racist attack.
Various levels of Washington State Government? Including school districts?
Where is DOJ Sessions in all of this?
