From: Weinstein, Bret Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2017 2:50 PM To: Love, Rashida CC: All Staff & Faculty DL Subject: Re: Invitation and schedules for Day of Absence/Day of Presence 2017 Dear Rashida, When you first described the new structure for Day of Absence/Day of Presence at a past faculty meeting (where no room was left for questions), I thought I must have misunderstood what you said. Later emails seemed to muddy the waters further, while inviting commitments to participate. I now see from the boldfaced text in this email that I had indeed understood your words correctly There is a huge difference between a group or coalition deciding to voluntarily absent themselves from a sharesd space in order to highlight their vital and under-appreciated roles (the theme of the Douglas Turner Ward play Day of Absence, as well as the recent Women's Day walkout), and a group or coalition encouraging another group to go away. The first is a forceful call to consciousness which is, of course, crippling to the logic of The second is a show of force, and an act of oppression in and of itself You may take this letter as a formal protest of this year's structure, and you may assume I will be on campus on the Day of Absence. I would encourage others to put phenotype aside and reject this new formulation, whether they have 'registered' for it already or not. On a college campus, one's right to speak-or to be-must never be based on skin color If there was interest in a public presentation and discussion of race through a scientific/evolutionary lens, I would be quite willing to organize such an event (it is material I have taught in my own programs, and guest lectured on at Evergreen and elsewhere). Everyone would be equally welcome and encouraged to attend such a forum, irrespective of ethnicity, belief structure, native language, political leanings, or position at the college My only requirement would be that people attend with an open mind, and a willingness to act in good faith. If there is interest in such an event, please let me know at bret weinsteinGgmail.com

archive.is Evergreen State College administrators finally tell SJWs their action... D gismine lastsonlost A Friday memo emailed from Washington's Evergreen State College's administrators to the student body said that actions taken by the social justice advocates over the last few months including intimidation and prohibition of egress from school areas-have been illegal and could result in criminal charges.According to The College Fix, Vice President for Student Affairs Wendy Endress wrote in a July 14 memo that recent events by social justice warrior students have tarnished Evergreen State College's reputation to the point that Furthermore, Endress noted that Washington s to phase out public funding for Evergreen, turning the college into a private entity According to the College Fix in early June state Rep. Matt Manweller introduced House Bill 2221, and state Sen. Phil Fortunato introduced sister legislation Senate Bill 5946. The bills would remove funding from Evergreen, and "give it to the UW engineering program, STEM programs, math, [and] science," according a KIRO interview with Manweller on June 8."Let's spend the money on a credible degree rather than a social justice, victimization, woe-is-me, I want reparations, pseudo-science they are teaching at Evergreen," Manweller told KIRO. When this bill passes, they can still feed each other all the Marxist nonsense they want, they just won't be able to do it with money from my constituents unless my constituents choose to donate to it- which I doubt," Fortunato told on June 4.In Endress' memo, she listed two incidents in particular as their "greatest concern." On May 23, a sizable group approached the classroom where faculty member Bret Weinstein was leading his academic program, Hacking Human Nature. The group interrupted the program and others held in the same building, shouted for Weinstein to resign, and blocked Evergreen law enforcement officers who were responding to a call about the situation.On May 24, some Evergreen employees working in the Library felt trapped in the building due to protestors blocking exits and office doors; some employees reported being stopped in the parking lot and on the roadway, questioned, and detained in their vehicles, and more than one individual reported being followed and their freedom of movement hindered Endress' memo went on to warn students that intimidation, and obstructing people from leaving is "criminal," and may result in charges, College Fix reported."In the future, individuals could be charged with crimes including obstructing law enforcement, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, and/or unlawful imprisonment, Endress wrote. "Preventing a law enforcement officer from responding could place community members at great risk. Blocking egress doors is a violation of fire codes. This action endangered everyone in the Library. "According to College Fix, Endress did not mention the incidents involving the that assaulted a dissenting student, nor the intimidation of college President George Bridges, who was given a list of demands as Much of Evergreen's troubles began in May, when in which black and Latino students typically leave the campus. That year, black and Latino students wanted to reverse the order, forcing white students to leave. This resulted in the May 23 incident where a group of student activists confronted Weinstein, then screamed and insulted the professor About f------ time. Should have been addressed from day 1 Now how about we put University of Virginia, Drake, Missouri, Berkeley and Columbia on chopping block too. These institutions need major Capital flight.
