PART 16, AT THE REQUEST OF OUR LOCAL AUTHORS & JOURNALISTS: TOXIC WOKENESS TAINTS A CAMPUS, HATE CROME HOAX AND CAUSES LIBERAL STAFFER TO RESIGN; CROSS POSTED, CANCEL CULTURE COMES 4 SHAKESPEARE

One of our most popular series here at Everything Croton.....and now TWO ARTICLES:

#1:  In 2018, Smith College student Oumou Kanoute accused the school of racial profiling, saying she was approached by a security officer for “eating while black.” A subsequent investigation found that not only was Kanoute dining in a closed area, she was not racially profiled nor discriminated against. 

Still, the incident set off a furor at the private women’s liberal-arts college in Northampton, Mass., with staff forced to take “anti­racist” training and some employees tarred as bigots. 

The blanket assumption that every white member at Smith was a racist rankled Jodi Shaw, a lifelong liberal who made $45,000 as a staffer at Smith. She resigned her position, saying the attitude at Smith — in fact, at many liberal colleges — isn’t enlightened, it’s regressive.  “It taps into humanity’s worst instincts to break down into warring factions, and I fear this is rapidly leading us to a very twisted place,” she wrote in a letter to Smith College President Kathleen McCartney. 

Here is Shaw’s resignation letter, originally published on journalist Bari Weiss’ Substack blog https://nypost.com/2021/02/25/toxic-wokeness-taints-a-campus-and-causes-liberal-staffer-to-resign/

AND

#2: REVEALED: How 'woke' English teachers have cancelled Shakespeare because of his 'white supremacy, misogyny, racism and classism' - and are instead using his plays to lecture in 'toxic masculinity and Marxism'...One NYT best-selling author said these schools are 'flushing great literature down the drain'
