A Fordham University professor was fired after mixing up the names of two black students in class, according to a report.
Hours after what he called an “innocent mistake,” lecturer Christopher Trogan, 46, sent a rambling, nine-page email to students in his Composition II classes explaining the faux pas — and defending, without being asked, his “entire life” of working on “issues of justice, equality, and inclusion,” the campus newspaper reported.
“The offended student assumed my mistake was because I confused that student with another Black student,” Trogan wrote, according to a Nov. 29 article in the Fordham Observer. “I have done my best to validate and reassure the offended student that I made a simple, human, error. It has nothing to do with race.”
He blamed the mistake on his “confused brain” when the two students arrived to class late on Sept. 24, while he was reading a classmate’s work.
Several students said Trogan’s bizarre overreaction, rather than making a simple apology, made matters worse for him.

He went woke the went broke.
His mistake was to grovel.
My feeling is everyone should be fired who uses phrases like “issues of justice, equality, and inclusion.”

So they all look the same wouldn’t go over for him? Ha ha ah aha ahha I just love when the racist woke diversity and equality idiots go after their own, pass the popcorn please! These days its more entertaining than watching this crap on tv
IIRC, the disastrous Chinese Cultural Revolution began with student denunciations of professors; all of whom were members of the communist party. Past great deeds were no protection.
If it was only so easy to fire the idiot in the WH.
They all sound alike to me too 🤪
Gosh, I loved that series.
Even though Woke, one can be cancelled to become broke.
The Revolution tends to eat many of its own.
Never apologize, especially over something so silly.
It depends. For example, if you were dating, and confused her with her sister, I could see problems.
The students were Juan and Jamal. But, to be fair, they do look very much alike. Once you’ve seen Juan, you’ve seen Jamal.
The very fact he sent a NINE PAGE APOLOGY (without being asked) speaks volumes about his understanding of how the game is played.
No apology.
Sue for big time damages.
Playing offense wins.
Playing defense loses.
Ha!!
He spent his “entire life working on issues of justice, equality, and inclusion.”
That glorious career and five bucks will get you a Starbucks latte.
Only if you slept with both and got their names confused at the wrong moment.
There's his problem... He shoulda been working on equity and CRT.
