Evergreen State sees 'catastrophic' drop in enrollment after social justice meltdown
2018-09-13


[FoxNews] Evergreen State College enrollment plummeted after fallout from the controversial "Day of Absence" in May 2017 when all white people were asked to leave the campus.

The publicly funded college – committed to social justice – became the poster child of a campus overrun by hyper-political correctness when students shut down the campus and shouted down then-evolutionary biology professor Bret Weinstein for merely questioning the event kicking white people off campus.

Weinstein, who describes himself as "deeply progressive," ultimately lost his job and was labeled a "racist" and "white supremacist."

Although just estimates, a representative from Evergreen said they expect around 350 freshman this fall, with a total of 3,000-3,100 total enrollment, both of which "do represent significant decreases as compared to before the 2017 unrest."

A purely irrational statement.

#10  Agreed. But an expeption, perhaps, to try the rule?

Two martyrs in Heaven were kvetchin'
Regardin' which saint was more fetchin',
The flatter or fatter?
The winner? The thinner:

#8  A drop in enrollments, cuts in the budget, and a loss of 20 faculty resulted in this racist and childish stunt. IMO, pretty damned selfish on the part of the lefties who did this.

#7  (Rachel Corey) is right up there with Cindy Sheehan and Ward Churchill in useful idiots the Left used and discarded.

All leftists are two-dimensional caricatures, but some are more two-dimensional than others.

#6  Oh, wow. Haven't thought about Rachel Corrie in forever. She's right up there with Cindy Sheehan and Ward Churchill in useful idiots the Left used and discarded.

#5  The really hilarious part is that Bret Weinstein is far left. He thought his stellar left-wing credentials would protect him. Big mistake. He got tarred as a racist just like anyone else. Oh, I laughed for days after that.

Now he's an outcast, a member of the Intellectual Dark Web, reduced to making Youtube appearances on other people's shows. He had it all, and it didn't matter to the SJWs.
