The Professor had NOT (yet) done a Drew Brees.

See here: https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2020-06-10/ucla-professor-no-racism-in-refusing-to-cancel-final

“I come from a Detroit family where my mother taught in inner-city Detroit, where my father was an accountant for auto workers’ unions and where I co-taught an African American studies class at the University of Michigan,” he said. “I abhor the identification of individuals by their race, whether you plan to disfavor them or favor them. I believe in a race-neutral world.”

Prof. Klein said he plans to defend himself vigorously and has enlisted the aid of the nonprofit Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which has accused UCLA of violating his free-speech rights.

“I would like to get my reputation restored, and I will engage in all lawful means from our legal system to ensure that occurs,” he said, adding, “It is the height of ludicrosity for anyone to suggest that a single bone in my body is racist.”

so,
1. ‘colorists’ don’t feel mixed-race children are equal to them

2. ‘colorists’ want to deny mixed-race children their own racial identity

3. and they want a professor fired for daring to suggest otherwise

got it.

A simple “no” would have been enough.

Thank you for your email, but no the final exam will not be postponed.

Years ago they had their all black One Million Man March in Washington...

Black students from UTC (Chattanooga) just took off and left for the weekend not bothering to let their professors know they would be gone ...

They didn’t get back till about Wednesday and complained when they were marked absent and/or missed tests...they cried to the local lib radio station...

Other students don’t get excused for attending events or not going to class at that school but all the black students did get excused by the school authorities and the professors had to give them the class material and make up tests etc...

Yes I can see this school being to cowardly to hold these black students accountable either...

MLK famously said that people should not be evaluated based on the “color of their skin.”

If that is 'woefully racist' then the planet really has turned into bizarro world.
