Evergreen State boss George Bridges has come off as a clueless useful idiot.
I’m George Bridges, I use he/him pronouns.”
That was how the president of Evergreen State College, a man with a PhD in Sociology, an MA in Criminology and the backbone of an incontinent weasel began his apology to the radical leftists who had terrorized his school, shouted racial slurs at a professor and other students, and driven an entire class off campus. Then he paid respect to the “elders past and present of the Squaxin Island Tribe.”
The university was once a place of reason and learning. It is now a sick, sad totalitarian joke.
"I apologize... I will commit to working on my own racism....I am a work in progress,” he mumbled.
Then there was his insistence in an interview that despite outward appearances, he can go to the bathroom whenever he wants to. Now, courtesy of the Daily Caller, his correspondence reveals that he is an even bigger fool.
“Although I have never before experienced the withering assault of neo‐con and white supremacist hate mail and voice mail messages,” he said. “And witnessing the cruel side of social media use first hand has proven sobering. How foolish of me to even imagine a post‐racial society!”
It wasn't the racial tirades of left-wing students berating him that did it. Or even the fact that they reject the very idea of a post-racial society as racist. But it was those right-wing emails.
Bridges knows so little about Republicans that he classes neo-conservatives with white supremacists. But it's a purely tribal reaction. Those emails somehow took away his post-racial society even though the whole scandal began with the insistence that white faculty leave campus.
