Well, firstly – don’t get a job at a community college.
Seriously.
You would probably be better off doing landscaping or something. Definitely, if you could run your own landscaping company, you’d be much better off that being a community college teacher.
Secondly, if you are a community college teacher, get fired for not being woke, and then sue.
Honestly. I agree with not being woke. But this guy was probably like “what the hell am I doing with my life? I’m a community college teacher. I should have gone into landscaping. I guess I’ll oppose wokeness and see if that makes me millions of dollars somehow.”
Bold gambit. But it paid off.
A professor has won a multimillion dollar settlement after exposing retaliation he faced for challenging woke policies at a California community college.
Matthew Garrett, a former history professor at Bakersfield College recently won a $2.4 million dollar settlement after being terminated from his teaching post for allegedly making “insulting,” “untrue” and “personal” comments about black students and professors during a committee meeting organized by the Kern Community College District (KCCD).
Garrett told The College Fix in an email that KCCD agreed to pay out the amounts specified in the settlement in order to avoid paying larger penalties in the event that it lost an ongoing lawsuit against Garrett concerning the validity of these and other claims.
“After five years of administrative misconduct, a decisive courtroom display exonerated me of all allegations and exposed that Kern Community College District engaged in flagrant retaliation for my questioning of partisan policies and wasteful expenditures,” Garrett said.
Another professor, Daymon Johnson (who doesn’t appear to be white), is also suing the college for roughly the same thing
Garrett’s lawsuit named several defendants, including KCCD board president John Corkins, who said of Garrett and a number of his colleagues, “that’s why we put a rope on them and take them to the slaughterhouse,” during a longer statement in which he advocated for their termination.
Killing people who disagree with your politics is rational. I’ll give him that.
Garrett also noted that many of the allegations levied against him were based on anonymous complaints and seemingly worded to strip him of his First Amendment rights.
“If you start to really look at them one by one, they’re really just flimsy sorts of allegations, but it can be overwhelming to someone who doesn’t know the context,” he said. “The idea that they can tamp down discussion by simply labeling things dishonest, unprofessional or immoral in order to circumvent the First Amendment protections and to mischaracterize me as some sort of horrible person is really disturbing.”
A KCCD spokesperson told Campus Reform that the district’s disagreement with Garrett did not concern his right to free speech, noting that its move to agree to settlement was based on considerations concerning students’ quality of education.
What would a legal settlement have to do with the students?
Maybe it’s illegal to force people to be woke. I don’t really understand how this works.
Honestly, I don’t care that much. If you find yourself at a community college, teaching or studying, something has gone wrong and you probably need to reevaluate.
They’re doing high class education here
