When Columbia Law School let Black students postpone their final exams because they might be “traumatized” by recent protests, they really let the cat out of the bag.

Now students at Oberlin College, one of the most liberal college in the country are demanding African-American students be completely exempt from failing this semester because they’re so deeply affected in “times like this.”

So far, the Ohio college has said they will allow professors to exercise “flexibility” in “emergency incomplete requests,” but has not given a flat out “pass” to all Black students.

This is making students really whiny. In a poorly written petition to Oberlin President Marvin Krislov – that has more than 1,300 signatures – the students lay out their “demands:”

Evidently blacks consider themselves to be inferior and therefore exempt from the standards applied to everyone else.

You just nailed it.

Let's go the sports stat route - hand out diplomas with an asterisk to everyone who flunks out.

Students still graduate but employers will know they ditched their classes when things got rough. We all know they wouldn't do that when they're working for YOUR firm...

Alternative: 10% discount when you have to retake the class you flunked

Soothe them with an M.D. Degree... give them pilot licenses

Or place everyone in the top 10% of the class.

Right on point. White liberals don’t give a damn about the notion of equality. It’s all about control. Keeping people of color ignorant and filled with racial hate is part of the liberal playbook, and it’s been that way for decades.

Will that same exemption be allowed when these losers have to pass a bar exam?

There are some old KKK members out there whispering under their collective breath, “I told you so.” What an insult to black students at all colleges.

This is the soft bigotry of low expectations practiced by Liberalism.

The only solution to this “black student” problem is to give them all CEO positions at Fortune 500 companies and a house and a big income and a car and food...and everything else these losers want. Then, we should worship each and ever one. Then we should give them everything we have worked for. Then we should become their slaves. Then we should... Have a Merry Christmas!

Racist liberals thinking blacks are not smart enough to get good grades on their own; they want them dumbed down dependent on them and kept on the plantation. Liberals are the real racists.

It’s far past time to purge academia. By any means necessary, as our radical enemies say.

This has already happened with ‘race norming’.

In the end, whitey pays.

Blacks get their grades ‘adjusted’ and it’s called race-norming. That is, an Asian kid and a black kid take the same test. The Asian kid gets 90% of the questions right, the black kid gets 50% right. Guess who gets a higher grade?

The black kid, of course, thanks to the magic of race norming.

Then one day, they both graduate. The black kid and asian kid are both doctors. The black doctor’s patients die a lot. He serves mostly black patients. Then the black people can come out and complain that America treats blacks badly as evidenced by their lower life expectancy and how simple, treatable illnesses are deadlier for blacks.

Just give them each a diploma and be done with it.
The grades and the diploma are not really what education is about.
When they get out in the real world they will find out that the diploma may get you in the door but you won't get to stay long if you don't know what you're doing.

It is too much to expect blacks to play by the rules.

What with minority hiring quotas, why would it make a difference? Apparently a great percentage of them opt for the three hots and a cot courtesy of the state.
