History recorded the Evergreen meltdown as beginning over my objection to the Day of (white) Absence. It actually began in a faculty meeting on May 23, 2016, one year to the day before the student protests/riots broke out at my classroom.
The students *who I had never met* were sent confront me and to demand my firing—as payback. It was orchestrated by FACULTY, in response to my opposition to a proposal to force all faculty to reflect annually, in writing, on their “progress” against their own presumed racism.
I spoke strongly in opposition to the proposal in that 2016 faculty meeting. No students were present. One other faculty member joined me in voting against the measure. All the other professors voted in favor, though several tenured faculty took me aside afterward to say they agreed with me, but couldn’t bring themselves to vote against it in a public forum.
I doubt the students knew why they were sent to confront me a year later. The focus on my opposition to the Day of Absence made it look like an organic student uprising.
“Reflection” is weaponized by tyrants amassing power. Commitment to freedom of speech requires us to oppose compelled speech every bit as strongly as we oppose censorship. Remember, before the Evergreen riots happened, @jordanbpeterson had already become a lightning rod for opposing compelled speech in Canada.
If people have to pay reparations for slavery, the British could claim three and a half centuries colonisation by the Romans, and 300 years of colonisation by the French
This would be profitable for us since we were slaves for much longer than our shameful Empire lasted
It is a tribute to the foresightedness of the Muslims that, due to their practice of castrating all slaves, no
candidates exist for reparations for their long periods of slavery
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Bret Weinstein says we're in an Alice in Wonderland moment: the medical freedom movement finally has its strongest warrior running HHS, but there are even more powerful forces at work.
"So there's this tension between Bobby Kennedy. He knows this stuff as well as anybody. He's really encyclopedic in his understanding of science, the fraud that masquerades the science, the hidden hazards in the vaccines. He knows the COVID vaccine story backwards and forwards.
And yet in his position, he is presumably forced to work delicately. I assume knowing him that he's doing everything he can to move the ball in the right direction. But in a case like this, where you have the DOJ sandbagging it for pharma reasons, there's just a question of, well, what world are we in?"
