It seems there’s been a pretty significant exposé of a College Republican chat group, and frankly, the revelations are disheartening, to say the least. The core of the issue, as highlighted by the phrase “Ew you had colored professors?!”, points to a deeply ingrained prejudice that’s frankly shocking to encounter in this day and age. It’s not just a matter of differing political opinions; this suggests a fundamental lack of respect and outright animosity towards individuals based on their race, even towards those who are in positions of educating and guiding them.
The term “Nazi haven” wasn’t thrown around lightly, apparently.… Continue reading
