the guy who teaches the politicizing beyonce course at rutgers was investigated by the NYPD and forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation because ONE student said he was “hateful towards white people”
the NYPD then got the FBI joint terroism task force to investigate him for terrorism against white people. for teaching a class about beyonce.
he is being forced to pay for his psych evaluation because rutgers doesnt cover adjunct professors, and even though its their fault for informing the NYPD, theyre refusing to pay his medical bills.
a youcaring has been set up to help pay his medical bills. the link provides further info too
The probe for in question got into this because a student felt threatened that he said “burning a flag is a legitimate and acceptable form of protest.”
So like, he legitimately didn’t do anything.
What the HELL
If people want to see an example of how privilege and fragility work in real time, look at this. They had the power to use these institutions and target someone who said something they didn’t like. This wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last. Please check out that link.
