NORTHAMPTON, MA- We’ve written several times about how the message gifted to us by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King is no longer valid.
Dr. King of course told all Americans in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial that he dreamed of a day “where a man would no longer be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Sadly, that ship has apparently sailed.
The most recent example comes to us from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, an extremely liberal institution in an uber-liberal community in a very liberal state.
Jodi Shaw used to work at Smith College. A divorced mother of two, Shaw was a graduate of Smith College and earned a whopping $45,000 annually, which as an article in Substack noted is less than the yearly tuition costs at the haughty institution.
Last October, Shaw became exasperated by what she saw going on at the college and after she had tried unsuccessfully to exercise other internal options.
Shaw became a reluctant whistleblower, posting a video on YouTube which unveiled an atmosphere of racial discrimination at Smith.
Not the type of discrimination that is alleged to be “systemic” in the country, but rather discrimination because she is white.
According to Shaw:
“I ask that Smith College stop reducing my personhood to a racial category. Stop telling me what I must think and feel about myself. Stop presuming to know who I am or what my culture is based upon my skin color. Stop asking me to project stereotypes onto others based on their skin color.”
In other words, Shaw is a victim of critical race theory, which is being shoved down the throats of government employees, public school students, and employees at private businesses such as Coca-Cola.
This past week, Shaw had enough after her complaints went unanswered…or ignored. Shaw turned down a settlement offered by the college, which no doubt included her silence. Instead, she resigned.
