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?
Maybe he felt he can’t do his job under these conditions so it was resign or compromise his principles.
Maybe so, maybe not. It certainly looked like there would be war in the late 60s but the pendulum swung back.
I hope every white employee of that university resigns.
Which 60’s?
I agree with you. He just said to hell with it. I can’t blame him.
I’m sorry, Johnson or Johnson
There is a university in Alabama (I won’t divulge the name) where if you have an engineering degree from that campus...it’s basically worthless. Over the past two decades, they’ve hired marginal instructors and gotten a negative impression built up. Companies will still do the interviews and let these graduates come in....but they aren’t going to be serious about hiring them.
I would probably look at Mizzou and say that it’s taken the first step toward this situation. If I were a parent, and paying the $25,000 a year for tuition and board for my kid being there....I’d be working on plan B to get that kid out by the break and enroll them somewhere else.
And the entire commotion on campus was based on the Nazi poop lie and the lie about the administrator hitting someone with his car.
This is all post Obama. Blacks have been made irrelevant in the job market and politically by Dems selling them out to Hispanics.
Now they are lashing out at whites. It’s a form of reparations. They make whites suffer.
I would not hire anybody from U of Missouri. They teach principles that are anti-American, and anti-freedom.
I will have nothing to do with them.
That’s one ugly fag skank...
You are correct and they wanted the leadership to claim White Privilege.
They cannot explain why minorities don’t score well.
They also don’t explain why Asians are on the top.
They seem to be full of it.
The right “answer” was to state that you trusted the judgement of the school officials to make the right call regarding the severity of the threat and that you would hold class if the school was open and cancel classes if the school did.
Any additional information simply gives the SJWs ammo to be offended by.
These Nazis are now empowered to run the asylum they have created? Liberation Theology is so cool for school, now.
A fine liberal implosion of a university, by the creatures academia has helped to create.
Here’s video showing the entire ‘hit by dean’s car’ story was b.s.:

I don’t see a whole lot of white people getting interested in going to this school in the future. Lots of other options for lots of better schools.

Please, please BYU utterly annihilate Missouri this Saturday. And Tennessee and Arkansas do the same in following weeks.
Well yeah. He preaches against bullies and then eats a sh^t sandwiched force fed to him by bullies. I mean tough to feel for the guy.
It’s for the best. The only thing white men should be teaching at this point is Clausewitz.
I am so with that professor. I would have done the same thing - except resign.
Why don’t the students who are there to education stand up to this BS?
