Video tells of ideological excesses of an American university
Under cover of anti-racism, the Evergreen campus has established a regime of terror that discriminates against whites.
A video production which summarizes in French the events which took place at the University of Evergreen, in the United States, has met with dazzling success. Posted on July 8, 2019 on YouTube, the 52-minute documentary entitled "Evergreen and the excesses of progressivism" has already been viewed some 80 times at the time of writing. This video draws from its archival footage from 000, shot by students and teachers at the Evergreen State Campus in Washington State, and its editor adds a French translation, analysis and personal comments.
What is it about? In this university of progressive tradition, the bias was to give carte blanche to the teachers. If this system allowed to play an incubator role and to explore a certain creativity, it degenerated from the moment when the new director, George Sumner Bridges, took office in 2015. Deciding to allocate a new committee responsible for ensuring that equity is respected on campus, particularly in matters of racial discrimination, gender or sexual identity.
Having received the full power of management, this new moral order dictated a self-proclaimed anti-racist ideology, derived from the theory of intersectionality, bringing terror to anyone seeking to contradict the way of ensuring equity.
Humiliated teachers
In the video, we see in particular scenes of teachers humiliated by students surrounding them and insulting them by preventing them from defending themselves against the accusation of racism made against them. One teacher at Evergreen, Bret Weinstein, had to resign, among other things, because his bodily integrity could no longer be guaranteed by campus police.
His fault? Send an email protesting the proposed new day off directive, a day when "people of color (literally translated as 'people of color', used there)" don't come to campus to show the role they play in society. This new directive required whites, students and teachers, to stay at home.
Bret Weinstein, seeing a significant difference between a community's own desire to demonstrate by its absence and the ban on frequenting a place dictated to a community, underlined the impossibility of the anti-racism claim of the directive discriminating against people in depending on their skin color. From that moment on, he experienced a bashing of militant students and was not supported by management or his colleagues.
White people guilty by nature
We also learn that discriminatory practices, such as reserving food, tables and chairs in priority for "people of color", were tolerated.
At the same time, more and more radical teachers were invited to give lessons at Evergreen, in particular the sociologist Robin DiAngelo (whose best-selling book is presented here by Slate.fr in French), essentially claiming that all social interaction is tinged racism, that all whites are by nature accomplices of a supposed "white supremacy" or that the question is not to know "if it was racist" but "how it was".
Another teacher went so far as to say that asking "people of color" how they experience racism in detail was "racism with a capital R".
Following these events, enrollment at the University of Evergreen fell by 25%, to some 3000 students in 2018 from more than 4000 in 2014.
