Students call for laxed grading for black students. University goes along with it.(University of Washington)
Campus Reform ^ | 6-3-20 | Jessica Custodio

“...give Black students a break! We are already DISPROPORTIONATELY impacted by this pandemic in terms of health care access and financial hardship. Now add state-sanctioned violence, how do you expect us to enter finals in this headspace?!” reads the petition.

"You need to encourage and demand professors to accommodate their black students during this time. If UW truly understands our pain, UW will be a part of alleviating it,” the petition continues. “We can’t sit back and watch as injustices unfold before our eyes. We don’t have the privilege that white and non-black students do to ignore what’s happening and stay at home to study for finals," the petition added.

“We are busy fighting for our rights and for the rights of future black children and students to sit down and study. The least UW could do is demand professors to accommodate us during this time”

They have been giving blacks a lax grading system for decades already, why not just mail them a college diploma from Harvard to their last known address when they turn 18.

Why even have them at colleges/universities?

Just grant them their degrees and send them out into the world. Then, businesses will have to do the same as the colleges/universities and grant those uneducated degree-holders a permanent cushy job.

The highest priority of our culture in recent years has become to prevent blacks from suffering from any inferiority complexes.

VOMIT

Anyone watching the Fake Funeral today saw Al Sharpton up there decrying ALL things American (he actually said those or almost exact words): justice system, education, corporations, health care.

So the old retort of “discrimination” means nothing anymore as long as the ones being “discriminated” against don't fit the narrative. The goal posts keep moving as the left never lets the truth get in the way of the agenda. Horse crap.

So, basically don’t hire any black college students since they didn’t earn their degree.

Bet there are plenty of pissed smart black peoples who oppose this stupid liberal idea

No. Period.

They want to be accepted as regular people, they need to act like regular people. I am sure that white people didn’t get special treatment.

Yeah those dumb blacks. the dems know blacks can’t even get a voter ID either(sarc)...this is so pathetic. The whole California system is doing away with SAT scores because it’s allegedly racist.....those pesky high IQ studious asians?

Affirmative action is racism, and so is lax grading based on race.
