Missou Professor Dale Brigham resigned this week following outrage over his refusal to cancel an exam on campus.
Missouri Professor Dale Brigham
A beloved University of Missouri professor resigned after he refused to cancel a school exam during the hunger strike and athlete’s boycott.
Campus Reform reported:
Dr. Dale Brigham, considered one of the most beloved professors at the University of Missouri, has resigned after refusing to cancel an exam for students who claimed to feel âunsafe.â
âIf you donât feel safe coming to class, then donât come to class,â Dr. Brigham told his students. âI will be there, and there will be an exam administered in our class,â he continued, imploring his students to stand up to the bullies on campus. âIf you give into bullies, they win. The only way bullies are defeated is by standing up to them.â
Dr. Brigham was sharply criticized in the media for requiring his students to attend class and take their exam. Salon ran a story with the headline âWhite Missouri professor shames black students for heeding violent threats.âThe Washington Post featured similar coverage of âa white professorâ who âchallenged his students to come to class.â
Those upset with Dr. Brighamâs decision to hold class took to Twitter calling for Brigham to be firedand calling him âa failure as a human being.â
Under intense pressure, Dr. Brigham has both cancelled the exam and resigned from the university, according to screenshots posted online of an email from Dr. Brigham to his students.
Now this…
The race activist who was responsible for getting Professor Brigham to resign does not even attend Mizzou and lives in Houston.

It’s WTF Von is a comedian, viner, activist and blogger.
She was celebrating tonight.
I'm a bad person making a white professor resign from his job, but when white police fatally shoot black males for no reason, it's justice?
If the university had made Veterans' Day a university holiday, the problem would not have arisen.
BTTT
The bible says the penalty for a lie is equal to the damage the lie intended to inflict. Our Godless legal system has turned it's back on this doctrine and the liars who are destroying everything are never held accountable.
There’s already such a revised edition out there, replaces “N*gger Jim” with “Slave Jim.”
Completely undermines the point Twain was trying to make, in showing the human center of the story repeatedly being subjected to dehumanization.
This is just an academic variation on “Going Galt”
Which is a completely legitimate tactic.
Although I have to wonder what would happen if the professor were to go on a hunger strike. Just like that affluent permanent student did.
I surmise that he was ordered to cancel the exam by the school, and added his resignation because the “powers that be” had capitulated on his behalf.
I have no direct evidence of this, but the sequence carries all of the hallmarks of such garbage.
If he was ordered to capitulate by the school administration, then resigning is the only option for him to keep his self-respect (and I do not mean self esteem).
