Professor Who Was Suspended After Refusing to Grade Students Based on Race Just Heard Back from a Judge

How did we ever let wokism hijack the country so utterly?

The case of UCLA accounting professor Gordon Klein illustrates just how effective the left’s crusade to normalize their pretend narrative in America has been.

On June 2, 2020, just one week after the May 25 death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers, a group of students who described themselves as “non-black,” according to Newsweek, sent an email to Klein asking that he grant greater “leniency” to black students.

(Note: The original email is proving difficult to find on the internet, perhaps because the university is protecting the identities of those who sent it.)

Newsweek reports that “according to Klein,” the email began: “We are writing to express our tremendous concern about the impact that this final exam and project will have on the mental and physical health of our Black classmates.”

Several excerpts from the email were published by The Daily Wire. The students requested that Gordon offer a “‘no-harm’ final exam that could only benefit students’ grades, and for shortened exams and extended deadlines for final assignments and projects.”

Another read that due to recent “traumas, we have been placed in a position where we much choose between actively supporting our black classmates or focusing on finishing up our spring quarter.”

“We believe that remaining neutral in times of injustice brings power to the oppressor and therefore staying silent is not an option.”

The students claimed the request was not “a joint effort to get finals canceled for non-black students.” Instead, they wrote to “ask that you exercise compassion and leniency with black students in our major.”
