Students at the University of Washington are demanding that black students should not face difficult exams and time constraints because they are too “busy fighting for [their] rights to sit down and study”.
And the university thinks it is a good idea: It is currently advising professors to pass black students on the basis of race after an online petition gathered more than 26 000 signatures.
“You need to encourage and demand professors to accommodate their black students during this time. If UW truly understands our pain, UW will be a part of alleviating it,” the petition states.
Nicole McNichols, UW Psychology Professor told Campus Reform that she supported the move. “Obviously, I support the petition and absolutely believe the accommodations it requests should be honored by all faculty. Students need all of the support and compassion we can afford to give them right now.”
The email sent by McNichols to her students reads: “First, the remaining homework chapters are being put into review mode. Everyone will receive full points. Second, I have decided to drop everyone’s lowest exam score. This means that you may opt-out of taking Exam 3 if you just don’t feel up to it, (or if you [are] happy with your scores from exam 1 and 2).”
UW Senior Director of Media Relations Victor Balta said that all staff were asked “to consider...

So, all white students should identify as black and get the same free pass.
They just drove a nail into the coffin of any black man with genuine ambition and will to work for it. No future employer will ever believe a black university graduate EARNED his degree.

why do they even need to go to college then just mail them all a masters degrees in the field of their choice, the U.S.A. not anymore don't what country I live in now
Exactly. They pretty much pass everyone anyway and most certainly blacks.
The KKK approves. Middle class blacks, however, will be very very annoyed.
Every employer should be able to give a basic Reading, Writing and Arithmetic test before they even interview a person looking for a job. If they can't pass those then they should not even be allowed to interview even for the lowest of jobs
so the university agrees blacks are dumber than the average Asian or white.
"Looted" from an online Dictionary :Racism definition, a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement. Looks like the University of Washington is a racist organization.
Interesting. This is a statement that blacks know that on average, they are vastly inferior to all other groups and like other retarded people, they should not be held to the same standards as the more intelligent races.
