FRIENDS FIRST" TO DISCUSS.
TODD, OVER TO YOU.
>> Todd: UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK
STATE FILING COMPLAINT OVER
PROFESSOR’S WOKE SYLLABUS.
THE PROFESSOR WRITING, "IF YOU
ARE WHITE, MALE OR SOMEONE
PRIVILEGED BY RACIAL AND GENDER
STRUCTURE OF SOCIETIES, WE WILL
ASK YOU TO HOLD OFF ON QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS TO GIVE OTHERS
PRIORITY," AND A STUDENT JOINS
ME NOW.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE WHEN I
HEARD ABOUT IT, IT IS TOO REAL
AND HAPPENED TO YOU.
DESCRIBE WHAT CLASS IS LIKE OR
WAS LIKE UNDER THIS CONCEPT OF
"PROGRESSIVE STACKING" AS IT IS
KNOWN.
>> IT IS CERTAINLY CONCERNING.
I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THIS IN THE
SYLLABUS.
AT THE BEGINNING, AS REPORTED BY
CAMPUS REFORM, BINGHAMTON
UNIVERSITY IN SOCIOLOGY CLASS,
MY PROFESSOR IMPLEMENTED A
PROGRESSIVE STACKING POLICY,
WITH THE POLICY, I AS WHITE MALE
ARE BOTTOM OF THE HIERARCHY,
PROGRESSIVE STACK.
WHEN STUDENTS LIKE TO SPEAK ARE
CHOSEN BASED ON RACE AND SEX.
TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, CLASS
THAT REQUIRES PARTICIPATION, 10
STUDENTS RAISE THEIR HAND AND
WHITE MALE RAISES HIS HAND
FIRST, HE MAY NOT BE CHOSEN AT
ALL. THIS GOES AGAINST WHAT
AMERICA IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND WE
AS SOCIETY ARE SUPPOSED TO VALUE
AS MERITOCRACY AND ESHG KWALITY.
>> Todd: THAT IS INSANE,
EVERYBODY SHOULD GET A FAIR
SHAKE, UNBELIEVABLE.
IN UPON CURRENT CAMPUS WOKE
ENVIRONMENT, IT TAKES GUTS TO
SPEAK OUT LIKE THIS.
WHY DID YOU SPEAK OUT?
>> I FELT IT WAS MY CIVIC DUTY
TO SPEAK OUT, TO BE HONEST.
I LIVE BY PHILOSOPHY IF YOU WANT
TO FIX IT, YOU HAVE TO DO IT
YOURSELF.
I IMPLORE OTHER STUDENTS TO DO
EXACTLY AS I DID.
IF THEY SEE SOMETHING, SAY
SOMETHING.
SPEAK OUT, IF ANYTHING LIKE THIS
IS GOING ON.
IF IT IS HAPPENING ON YOUR
CAMPUS OR WORK PLACE, WHEREEVER.
>> THAT IN MIND HOW HAVE FELLOW
STUDENTS RESPONDED TO YOU?
>> MAJORITY OF STUDENTS HAVE
BEEN ON THE SAME SIDE AS MYSELF,
THEY BELIEVE THIS POLICY WAS ODD
AT THE VERY LEAST.
THERE IS A SMALL SWATH OF
STUDENTS WHO AGREE WITH HER
POLICY AND THEY -- THEY WANTED
TO IMPLEMENT THE SAME THING AND
IT IS CONCERNING CONSIDERING
STUDENTS WILL BE GRADUATING SOON
AND ENTERING THE WORKFORCE,
WHERE THEY COULD BE BRINGING
THIS TYPE OF POLICY TO A WORK
PLACE OR COLLEGE NEAR YOU.
>> Todd: A SCHOOL MADE THIS
PROFESSOR CHANGE THE SULBUS, WAS
THAT ENOUGH?
-- SYLLABUS, WAS THAT ENOUGH?
>> I WOULD SAY YES, WHEN I FILED
THE TITLE IX REPORT, THIS IS
WHAT I ASKED THE SCHOOL TO DO
AND THEY DID THIS.
TO OTHERS, KI SEE WHY IT MAY NOT
BE ENOUGH.
I CERTAINLY HOPE TO NEVER SEE
ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN IN OUR
COUNTRY, BUT THAT IS NOT THE
CASE.
>> Todd: RIGHT.
>> I NBL THIS SPECIFIC CASE, I’M
HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME.
>> Todd: SEAN, ARE YOU STILL IN
THIS CLASS?
>> Sean: I AM.
>> Todd: WHAT IS INTERACTION
WITH THE PROFESSOR LIKE NOW?
>> Sean: I DON’T REAL ESTATE
REACT TO HER, WE ARE SPLIT INTO
LECTURES THAT HAVE OVER 100
STUDENTSS AND WE GO INTO SMALLER
DISCUSSION GROUPS, AND ONLY A
FEW STUDENTS LIKE 8-15 AND THAT
IS WITH THE TA.
>> Todd: IF YOU THINK WE MAKE A
BIG STUFF ABOUT STUFF HAPPEN
NOTHING SCHOOLS, IT IS
HAPPENING, NOT JUST ELEMENTARY
AND HIGH SCHOOL, IN COLLEGE AND
BEYOND.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW
ABOUT THIS, THIS IS CRAZY TOWN,
