Evergreen Student Told She's 'Not Allowed to Speak Because She's White,' Ordered to 'Stand in the Back'Chris MenahanInformationLiberation Jul. 18, 2017 |
Evergreen State College student Mackenzie Kyger says she was not allowed to speak at "several meetings" with students and staff "because she's white." From Campus Reform: Mackenzie Kyger first made the claim at a recent meeting of the school’s Board of Trustees, a portion of which was dedicated to public comments regarding the student protests that shook the campus in response to a professor’s criticism of the school’s decision to ask white students and faculty to leave campus for a day of diversity programming. During the interview, she recounted an experience she had while trying to attend a meeting that some students had with the school’s president, George Bridges, on the 4th floor of the school’s library. Upon entering the meeting room, Kyger said she was “disgusted” by the scene that greeted her, saying, “people were standing on chairs, yelling at George, screaming profanities at him,” all while faculty members stood against a wall behind her “cheering on” the rambunctious students.If you're not for "knocking whitey down a peg," you're not for social justice, ma'am. That's what this whole spiel is all about. Follow InformationLiberation on Twitter and Facebook. |
