A college professor has argued that black workers should get paid time off when someone in the black community is tragically killed, even if they have no direct connection to them.
Dr Angel Jones, who teaches at Southern Illinois University, argued that black teachers ought to be eligible for 'black bereavement leave' because the grief process for the community in the wake of public tragedy can be tough.
The professor said she recently burst into tears when she had to email her students in the wake of Tyre Nichols' death - who was beaten to death in Memphis, allegedly at the hands of five black cops.
She claims it was impossible to ignore her own feelings, and that she had cried 'numerous times' sending similar emails in the past.
Writing in an opinion piece for Times Higher Education, Dr Jones said: 'Although it is customary for employees to receive support and understanding while grieving the loss of a loved one, the same care is rarely shown to the Black community when we lose someone in horrific and traumatic ways.
'Where’s our Black bereavement leave?'
The professor added that it is Black educators who have to 'exert additional emotional energy' and pick up the slack after institutions send an 'obligatory, and often performative, statement to the campus community.'
Most notably, Nicole Joseph and Hasina Mohyuddin, both deans at Vanderbilt University, used a self-automating ChatGPT to write a 297-word email to students about deadly mass shooting at Michigan State.

I was reviewing recent USA murder statistics and noticed that Microsoft Bing does not tabulate Hispanic murderers and victims.
It appears that Hispanic murderers are now called white murderers in the FBI crime statistics and in the Bing search engine.
The USA Census Bureau also classifies most North African and Middle East immigrants as white.
It would be interesting and politically useful to know the exact crime and victim statistics for white people with European heritage.
White Americans should get ‘white bereavement leave’ when a white person is killed

I don’t see what unlimited vacation time, no work with pay gets them. They already have that.
You might be onto something here. Let’s give it to them. I might be cheaper for us in the long run to pay these loons to do nothing rather than ruin millions of kids educations.
