Last month, I covered the story of State University of New York (SUNY) Binghamton Professor Ana Maria Candela’s class policy for calling on students.
Fox News was also attentive to this issue:
Binghamton University slaps down professor’s ‘progressive stacking’ section of syllabus for ‘non-white folks’ https://t.co/VbvHIePBre

Ana’s sociology syllabus laid it out — white people were banished to the back of the bus.
You can quote this document
We will ask that you refrain from asking questions and comments if you’re white or male.
The policy’s purpose: to “give priority to non-white folks, to women, and to shy and quiet people who rarely raise their hands.”
According to the instructor, a dose of humiliation might teach ’em not to be treacherous:
The most powerful people feel the most empowered to speak. They take initiative and make it easier for those less confident to speak first.
One student — economics major Sean Harrigan — filed a Title IX complaint.
Fast forward to a statement by the school and an “update” to the syllabus.
SUNY Binghamton promised Ana would now be “in compliance with the Faculty Staff Handbook.”
Was she right to start with? A near-legion supported her.
Professor William Martin — himself a member of the college’s sociology department — has launched a Change.org petition in support of Ana and her “inclusive classroom.”
“As colleagues and students of Professor Ana Candela, we are deeply dismayed at the attacks upon her by Fox News and the failure of the SUNY-Binghamton administration to support her,” William writes. “Dr. Candela recognizes, as we do, that our classroom discussions are often dominated by a minority of persons reflecting societal class, racial and gender inequalities.”
It’s all about quality in education:
Life and education are shaped by the limited experiences and choices we have. Students often feel isolated and the discussions can be constrained. This should not be the case. Teachers who are good at encouraging students to challenge inequalities and engage with them should be commended.
Less isn’t more:
More Professors such as Dr. Candela are needed if education is to become more accessible and sustain vibrant exchanges and lively analysis. Instead of judging her, as the SUNY–Binghamton Administration did, we praise and support her efforts to promote a more egalitarian classroom and university.
As noted by Campus Reform, Ana’s got a friend in Binghamtom sociology Chair Gladys M. Jiménez-Muñoz.
Gladys…commented on the petition that she signed it “because the classroom is the space for us to challenge students to examine social inequalities in a concrete way. Dynamics, such as this one, is a pedagogical tool in the context of academia.”
English Professor Joseph Weil waxed, “I…cannot fathom why anyone would attack her, except we seem no longer to live in a democracy, but in some tight-lipped oligarchy. She has my full support.”
Professor/Sociologist Jakob Feinig’s on board as well:

It’s been said that, in life, the pendulum swings. Many have made much of whites claiming control over the country.
Swing:
New York Openly Discriminates Against White People in COVID-19 Treatments
A College Op-Ed Question Asks If White People Should be Kicked Out of Parties
Professor Prescribes ‘Reregulation’ to Help White People Stop Their Racist Violence
Twitter allows for full-on talk of Racial Genocide against White People on Its Platform
Tennessee University Segregates Students for ‘Antiracism’ Training, Hails the Absence of White People as ‘Magical’
‘All-Inclusive’ University Cultural Center Hosts a BBQ ‘Intended’ for Everyone but White People
Social evolution’s no slouch. Inclusion is no longer an option.
At time of publication, William Martin’s pro-inclusivity petition boasts 930 signatures.
