An associate dean at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has publicly called former President Donald Trump a racist and co-authored an academic paper suggesting the American education system, and even mathematics, is “inherently violent” toward (b)lack students.

Percival Matthews, associate dean for the Office of the Dean and a professor in the Human Development Area at UW–Madison, shared his views in a series of Facebook posts and academic writings reviewed by Fox News Digital.

In a January 2018 Facebook post, Matthews appeared to label Trump a racist, writing, “What’s on my mind? This: When you get a guy in the ultimate seat of power with a history of racist endeavors who makes not-even-veiled racist comments that a decent portion of the people continue to defend, you’re left wondering what’s left to do.” […]

In a paper co-authored with Pooja Sidney, an associate professor at the University of Kentucky, Matthews claimed that systemic inequities in education leave (b)lack students “shut out” of advanced courses, particularly in mathematics. …

The problem with the Left is that it is dominated by enabling women and girly men who want to make life soft and easy.

Life isn't soft and it isn't easy—and if it were, it wouldn't be worth living.

Life is worth living precisely because it is tough. It is rewarding precisely because by facing up to it with courage and diligence, we become stronger, wiser humans.

If this associate dean wanted to help students (black and otherwise), he would tell them the truth, "Life is hard, and math and other STEM courses are even harder. Get tough by studying A LOT. Then you'll find these systemic inequities will miraculously disappear."

Four. All of the carjackers I know are gangbangers. The pimps stay away from that stuff. They have a reputation to uphold.

Tip: It wasn’t the education system that got the black woman and her daughter arrested at the school in yesterday’s news with the woman raising cane and threatening students on the bus then doing the same at the school office. It’s the natural result of a culture that defines itself with the fragile superiority complex of race and promiscuity obsession instead of how God sees them, which is made in His image to give Him glory.

So now numbers are digi-phobic? Men aren’t males, women aren’t females, and 2 + 2 is a racist formula......

Associate Dean and an associate professor wrote a delusional, projection laced piece of garbage.
What are associate deans and professors ?

If you want to circumcise Don Lemon, give Percival Matthews an uppercut to the jaw.
