Nikole Hannah-Jones, founder of the discredited “1619 Project,” has rejected a tenured position at her alma mater, the University of North Carolina (UNC) Chapel Hill. Instead, she will join Ta-Nehisi Coates, a former columnist at The Atlantic, at one of America’s most prestigious Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Howard University. Hannah-Jones argued that the controversy over her hiring and tenure had more to do with racism and sexism than her outright lies about American history.
“It’s pretty clear that my tenure was not taken up because of political opposition, because of discriminatory views against my viewpoints and, I believe, because of my race and my gender,” Hannah-Jones told Gayle King on CBS This Morning, the Raleigh News & Observer reported.
“It has to be made clear: I went through the official tenure process and my peers in academia said that I was deserving of tenure,” the 1619 Project founder argued. “The board members are political appointees who decided that I wasn’t.”
While opposition to Hannah-Jones’ tenured position was indeed partially political, the political dispute traces back to the 1619 Project’s shameless twisting of history.

she will be preaching to the choir at Howard
Good. Much as I hate establishment universities, they saved themselves massive trouble with this one.
Serves em right for caving in the first place.
Yeah, seems they figured out that paying for bullshit… Just gets them more bullshit…
Now she can train up black kids at Howard to be useless and unproductive ideologues
Don’t worry Hannah, Satan’s gonna’ give you tenure anyway.
Schadenfreude.
They called you racist, UNC! LOL. Being woke isn’t good enough!
So this is the lady whose entire claim to fame is the “1619” project.
The entirety of it has been shown to be a bunch of made up lies and whatnot,those statements have even been validated by the lady that wrote it, and she gets a tenured position at a university?
Now that IS Priveledge, you can be a fraud and still get paid in academia because the color of your skin.
The next wave of idiots is about to be created.
<>she will be preaching to the choir at Howard<>
And doing irreparable damage to thousands of young minds along the way. Our tax dollars support this BLM bootcamp.
They will learn NOTHING from this.
If everything is racist, nothing is racist.
University of North Carolina goes for the Lose / Lose !!!
The alumnus have been up in arms about giving her a tenured position at the ‘journalism’ school, several big donors said absolutely not... then the offered it to her... and she turned them down!
So now, you’ve p*ssed off some of your biggest donors, made to look like you’re begging... and then WHAM, she drops you like a bad habit.
At least the lacrosse team wasn’t involved.
GOOD!
She should never have been offered tenure in the first place...cravenly coward surrender monkey capitulation by the board of governors who got it right the first time.
Keep your azz out of NC.
Leftists have NO POWER! IGNORE their rantings and laugh at them. They win by intimidation. Have some balls when you can...Yeah, board of governors...I am looking at Y’all!
Thats LOL hilarious!
In certain limited circumstances, the University may regulate time, place, and manner of expression, but the University does not limit speech based on content. UNC, Chapel Hill
In other words, UNC supports free speech...sort of.
Does anyone care?
When your whole self-identity is among the permanently aggrieved,
you can never achieve what used to be your dream, or ever be satisfied.
Being 'woke' to them is even bigger than one's perception of their own personhood.
Huffington post would call such a person: ' Narcissistic, bullying, indifferent, degrading to others and unapologetic about it',
as they did when identifying President Trump with these same characteristics, ..erroneously.
