Critical Race Theory nonsense is bad enough, but when it is put into practical practice, it’s simply ridiculous, demonstrating just how racist the entire collection of inane thoughts truly is.
Because CRT’s bastard child anti-racism requires discrimination against white people to somehow ameliorate past discrimination, the editors over at Vassar College’s student newspaper were forced to kneel on dry rice and flagellate themselves before a bust of Kimberle Crenshaw for publishing a paper with too many quotations from white students.
Okay, maybe they didn’t do exactly that, but they may as well have. The College Fix reports that the newspaper deleted an article from February after realizing “the majority of [] quotations came from white students and therefore [] reduced the positions of students of color to a singular, tokenized perspective.”
The original story dealt with former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson withdrawing from speaking at commencement in spring 2022. Apparently, students had accused Johnson of “war crimes” for enforcing immigration laws.
This sounds like something a bunch of upper-crust white liberals would say, complete with a picket line and stupid chanting. It’s no wonder most of the quotes were from white students.
But the editors felt the need to apologize and take the article down, saying, “Our article exemplifies many of the institutional flaws and structural problems within our paper. […] The publication of the article and its subsequent removal reminds us of the systemic issues our members are implicated in, as well as the privilege and lack of diversity that we have allowed to persist for generations.”
No “good” deed goes unpunished, though. Nora Paul, who serves as director of the University of Minnesota Journalism Center, decried the move as “etch-a-sketch” journalism, saying, “In this case the editorial should run with the original story attached and vice versa. Canceling may feel righteous but it is disingenuous. It did happen, it was reported, it was published, it should be on the record – for good or ill.”
All of this is stupid. There’s nothing wrong with quoting white students in an article.
If the staff of the Vassar College student newspaper had any real anti-racist stones, they’d all resign and have black students appointed to all the positions. They won’t do that, so everything else is just moronic, ignorant virtue signaling.
