Students at CNU are holding a protest and asking for open dialogue and even removal of Professor Sophia Nelson who recently tweeted some homophobic statements. @WTKR3
University Handbook Page 172, Item 9, Letter A “dismissal for the cause of incompetence in one or more areas of assigned responsibilities” - Honor Code: “creating an environment of respect and trust”. it’s not cancel culture, it’s upholding the duties of your job.
@IAmSophiaNelson Do you see where we stand now at CNU? All of this should be wrong! Racism shouldn’t be allowed, homophobia shouldn’t be allowed, all discrimination shouldn’t be allowed. Does that make more sense?
Tragically Nikole this is where we are on many issues-we do NOT want to dialogue, debate or discuss. We want to shut down anyone and anything that does not align with our point of view. Racism is baked into our institutions all of them. You & Truth are a threat to the old order.
Then acknowledge your comments to the bisexual community in a productive and apologetic way? “I am sorry for my actions and am going to work to educate myself on why my comments were hurtful” is not a hard thing to say or do. You gotta do the work to be a work in progress.
