As the story goes, he called some folks the wrong name.
Per his written explanation sent to the entire Composition II class, the man was distracted and accidentally erred.
While “reading the work of another student,” he recalled, two female students walked in late.
In a “confused” moment, he mismatched the pair’s monikers.
But the duo was less than laughing.
They issued him a written complaint.
Fordham paper The Observer reports:
[The two] sent [Christopher] an email after class expressing that they felt disheartened and disrespected…
The instructor insisted it was an “innocent mistake.”
But as it happens, Christopher is white.
The same can’t be said of those he harmed.
He referenced that fact in his response:
“I have done my best to validate and reassure the offended student that I made a simple, human, error. It has nothing to do with race.”
They don’t see it that way. According to The Observer, the ladies suspect “the mistake occurred because they were both Black.”

Everything that upsets blacks is racist. Can’t be any other reason. Racist, racist, racist. Poor blacks, can’t get a break.
Heck, my own mother got my name wrong when she was mad. Called me by my brother’s name first, mine second. Nothing racist about it.
Very seriously considered going back to teaching at University. It was always my first love and the spirit of giving back was moving me. Spent sometime working with with the current generation of students to get back into the swing and just damn! The woke monster is eating our children. Not all. Not even a strong majority, perhaps . But more than enough to really make things miserable for everyone else. I have better things to do with my time. And I came from an institution that was ground zero for the PC identity politics movement
Victim of ‘they all look alike’ syndrome ... or at least that is what the accusers think.
While I approve of any bad karma landing on any ‘woke’ person, it is reasonable to assume that a teacher with several classes possibly totaling hundreds of people could have a moment trying to remember someone’s name.
However ‘reasonable’ is not part of a leftist’s makeup nor is a thick skin. So tuff taco dude ... sucks to be you.
They should know they have a lot of it.
Vince Lombardi was the greatest coach of all time. He never had a losing season in whatever he coached. Coaching high school basketball, an assistant for the Giants, the Packers, and the Washington Redskins. Had he not passed away, the Redskins would have been the 70’s dynasty vice the Steelers.
The racist snowflake "students"? Not really, their behavior is what we've come to expect from these losers?
The gutless professor? Not really. I'm surprised he did not asked to be whipped by the students in front of the class.
Fordham administrators? Probably - they did not reach the positions they are in without being ass-sucking losers.
Fordham University? - Yes, you are the biggest loser!
This reminds me a little of the ass sucking by Mizzou a couple of years ago in a similar race related hoax. The decline in attendance forced Mizzou to close a number of dorms the following year as, oddly, the number of applicants dropped precipitously.
