Wow getting targeted by a mob of leftists, Jew?
That must be really hard.
A day after a Jewish professor’s complaints about being targeted by a left-wing “campus mob” went viral, his college was shut down in response to what the school called a “direct threat.”
The nature of the threat that closed Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington was not immediately clear, and spokespeople for the university and the campus police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The threat and resultant shutdown came after a year of roiling protests at the college, and a late-breaking media backlash to the actions of student protesters at a campus known for its long history of radical politics.
In recent weeks, Evergreen biology professor Bret Weinstein has gone public with complaints about student protesters who disrupted his classes and called for his firing. Weinstein held classes in a nearby park last week after campus police that it was unsafe for him to be on campus. Weinstein did not respond to requests for comment.
Weinstein wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal about his experience, and appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Channel program.
“That looks like something out of Phnom Penh, 1975,” Carlson said after viewing a video of student protesters confronting Weinstein, comparing the incident to the Communist genocide in Cambodia that killed 2 million people.
Breitbart and other outlets have picked up Weinstein’s story.
Weinstein appears to have first drawn the ire of student protesters for an email he sent earlier in the year to fellow faculty members, contesting plans for white students to be asked to attend an off-campus seminar on a day reserved for programs around issues faced by students of color.
In the March email, Weinstein called the plans a “show of force, and an act of oppression in and of itself.” Student protesters took offense at the email, which was published in the student paper, and some included calls for Weinstein’s firing among a litany of protest demands.
Protest have riled Evergreen since last September, according to a timeline published this week in a campus newspaper, the Cooper Point Journal.
The disruption of Weinstein’s classes on May 23 was the latest in a series of mounting protests and confrontations on campus. In video of the incident, students shouted at Weinstein in a hallway. According to the campus paper, campus police responded to the disruption. Protesters are now calling for the suspension of one of the police officers who responded.
…
Yet most coverage of the incident has focused on Weinstein’s email, and the notion that he was targeted for opposing a “white people-free day,” as the New York Post headline had it.
In a statement, Evergreen disputed the characterization. “White students have never been required to leave campus, for Day of Absence/Day of Presence events, or any Evergreen activity,” the university [said] (http://evergreen.edu/news/post/safety-all-teaching-and-learning).
Jews are now victims of the monster they created.
