He seems nice.
Believe them when they tell you who they are. They’re telling you the truth.
The College Fix: A Kern Community College District Board of Trustees member has apologized for a controversial comment he made at a December board meeting focused on racial concerns among students and faculty over those who challenge diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
“I apologize to anyone who felt threatened or was offended. My intent was to emphasize that the individuals who spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting have my full support,” said John Corkins, vice president of the Board of Trustees of the California college district, in a statement to The College Fix provided by the media relations office.
He said the meeting was an emotional one during which “several African-American faculty, students and statewide representatives … bravely shared their feelings of fear based on the actions of a small group of faculty members and their feelings of disappointment in the district for allowing these actions to continue.”
A video of the Dec. 13 meeting shows Corkins saying there are “abusive” faculty that “we have to continue to cull.”
“Got them in my livestock operation and that’s why we put a rope on some of them and take them to the slaughterhouse. That’s a fact of life with human nature and so forth, I don’t know how to say it any clearer,” he said.
This is where passion and godlessness leads you. Poliitcal zeal untouched by morality or grace ends in violence. It has to.
Let’s be clear. If this trustee had commented that he was against diversity initiatives would he still be working there, even if he apologized later? But if he makes a comment about killing those who question diversity initiatives, what happens? Nothing. Think about that.
In today’s academia it is safer to threaten the lives of conservatives than question the effectiveness of diversity initiatives.
