    Albion College students said they are demanding change from the administration after recent racist actions were reported on campus.

    Some senior students said there had been a racial incident just about every semester and little changed over their four years to make campus feel more inclusive.

    More than 450 Albion College students and staff members marched across campus April 5, 2021, to boycott the injustices they said are happening on campus.

    “For the past three years we’ve dealt with the same thing, it’s time for something different,” Domonic McDonald, an Albion College junior, said.

    Students said in the past month there had been at least three incidents of racial and derogatory slurs written on walls in the residence halls, along with drawings of swastikas.

    “You’re nothing but a coward, you have no room here, you’re not welcomed," McDonald said. “I’ll pray for you. You need to be better.”

    Students said they didn't think the college administration was taking these injustices seriously.

    “We do this because Albion College has polices that take a stance at anti-racism and if they are not upholding those policies, we would like to make sure they are held accountable,” Jayson Sawyer, a senior, said.

    He said if they are not heard, a group of students would file a civil rights discriminatory lawsuit, with the help of some Albion College Board of Trustees members.

    Sawyer organized the boycott on campus because he said some students didn't feel safe on campus and were asking for more transparency of how these incidents were handled.

    In a statement to News Channel 3, the Albion College administration said they stand against racism, hatred and injustice.

    “The racist and anti-semitic actions taken on our campus over the last week are cowardly and will not be tolerated,” Albion College President Mathew Johnson said. “In addition to caring for and protecting the students most directly impacted, and addressing the safety concerns of the broader student body, we are currently investigating who is responsible forracist graffiti on our campus.”

    One group on campus, Build Albion Fellows, was focused on bridging the gap between the college and the Albion community, which is predominantly white.

    “We feel like they brought us here to meet a quota more than they did because they wanted us here,” Akaiia Ridley, a Build Albion Fellows member, said.

    Ridley said she had seen change on campus, but more needed to be done.

    “I have so much hope that we won’t be doing this again,” she said.

    Johnson said the college was offering a $1,000 reward for any information on who is responsible for the recent racist actions on campus. He said they would be seeking criminal charges against those involved.

    “If they are Albion College students, they will also immediately be subject to the student conduct process—including the potential for suspension or expulsion,” Johnson said.

    The guy apparently also has a phd in epidemiology so he at least isn’t completely out of his element but the doomsday crap has got to stop. The amount of egos in modern science and public health that cloud the issue with hysteria is astounding. Twitter for phd nerds is one of the worst things that could happen for public health. 

    That seems to be in question ... he definitely fake a bunch of his credentials ... he seems to be a doctor along the lines of DrJill, the the world's greatest doctor and our Surgeon General.

    I know. We just saw CBS willfully misrepresent the story around Florida vaccines and DeSantis. Anyone have any idea why they might’ve done that? Maybe because he’s the highest profile Republican nationally as of this moment? Do you think?

    The vast majority of mainstream media journalists are political activists at this point. 
     

    I mean that list included NPR which is literally supported financially by one party at this point. What a fucking clown.

    This is hilarious.  you have to be willfully ignorant to believe this.  "perhaps Huffpo" too funny "perhaps all of them"

    Come on. You're so Q. It's not like all those outlets refused to cover an FBI investigators into a presidential candidate's son about a corroborated story about China bribing the candidate and twit suppressing the story. I mean do you even Russian disinformation bruh?

    The beginning highlights why this issue is so fascinating to me. Typically progressive people want free market. Typically conservative want regulation. 
     

    To bring it back to COVID, it’s like all the millennials that are scared to death and the boomers that are more willing to take on the risk. 

    Because the millennials are all stupid betas that cannot think for themselves. At least boomers were savvy enough to sell out. Fuck both or them! #genx

    It’s a tough argument. 

    As Sacks makes his case, I can hear the retort I’ve heard others make so many times: If you hate a platform so much, nothing’s stopping you from making a new one.

    That argument feels flimsier than ever these days. When Trump got banned from Twitter, the argument was: So what? It’s Twitter. And Twitter is a private company. Jack Dorsey can boot whoever he wants. And anyway, Trump can go to Parler. 

    But then Parler got kicked out of the Apple and Google app stores, so the argument became: well, you can still create a website. But then AWS stopped hosting Parler. As Sacks put it: “You shouldn’t have to build a new Internet to post a tweet.”

    What the mouth-breathing fuckwad betas forget is they're all built on a public asset - that's why people with brains and critical thinking can understand the common carrier position. Of course these same bed-wetters were cheering Barry's "you didn't build that."

    ... plus they think bleks can't figure out he DMV much less worthy of SCOTUS.

    They will sure as shit be 100% open in my children's school district. And they should be nationwide. Every adolescent that wants a shot will be eligible to get one before the Summer is complete.  There is no excuse. That all said, if a family is not there with in-school education, I do think that some reasonable options need to be made available.  Try to meet people where they are at.  There are going to be some people so brain damaged by the last year, understandably, that re-entry is going to be a very stressful process. Me, I'm just ready to put my kids back on the busses so I don't have to coordinate pick ups every day between the wife and I.  

    Our district is thinking about doing permanent online to breastfeed all the freaking snowflakes.
