LOOK, THERE IS A REASON FOR THIS:  FLAGRANT Racial Violence: You Still Haven’t Seen the Most Shocking Thing in the Cunningham Foul — It Is Carrington’s Flabbergasted Reaction to Being Found Guilty (Video).

American schools have been telling kids for a generation (at least) that white people are out to get black people. That whites hate blacks so much the invented slavery to attack them. And then 2020 and BLM told them that white people want to kill black people. All the time. And do it. And get away with it. All the time.  And you’re surprised that black people act insane and like they’re under siege? WHY?
It’s time to clean the education/indoctrination complex. Now.

DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: Cambridge vice-chancellor insists Arday case is an ‘aberration.’

Cambridge’s vice-chancellor has described the Jason Arday fiasco as an aberration.

In her first comments on the scandal that has engulfed the university in recent weeks, Prof Deborah Prentice acknowledged the “anger and anxiety around this damaging and difficult case”.

She said the university’s investigation into the appointment and tenure of Mr Arday would be “thorough and transparent” and would “begin as soon as possible”.

She insisted that the importance of the university’s “staff of colour” was not in question, saying “this particular case is an aberration and should not be used to cast aspersions on their work or the legitimacy of their roles at Cambridge”.

Prof Prentice, the first American to hold the post of vice-chancellor, also appeared to shift the blame for Mr Arday’s appointment to the Faculty of Education, highlighting that “appointments to senior academic roles … are currently led at department level”.

“The Letter on Jason Arday From Cambridge Vice Chancellor Is Objectively Funny,” David Strom writes:

IT’S NOT MY FAULT! It’s those damn Education Department folks who did it! Not to mention other institutions who should have investigated Arday (they did, and pretended nothing was wrong). Did you know that the Education Department made this decision? They did! Not me!

And don’t look askance at other DEI hires. This was an “aberration.” There is zero reason to believe that our standards are anything but unbiased.

Uh, yeah, right. And Anthony Fauci was an honest and perfect scientist and public servant. How dare you insinuate otherwise? Now go get your booster, and don’t worry about those changes to your menstrual cycle, risk of myocarditis, and increased risk to your fetus. It’s fake.

Trust us.

Dumping the responsibility on everybody but the administration is ludicrous. No BBC film crew mobilizes just because some Education professor asks them to. That comes straight from the top. No sane person can look at the full court press from every single cultural and academic elite institution to canonize Jason Arday without concluding that they were desperate beyond measure to emphasize how wonderful black academics are.

Prentice can bury her head in the sand, but hopefully others in England won’t. “Expect a parliamentary discussion about the issue, especially since the police tried to intimidate people into staying quiet. What a mess, and it is all their fault.”

OUR 1984 WAS MUCH DIFFERENT FROM WHAT ORWELL PREDICTED:

ABE GREENWALD: Welcome to Woke 2.

It’s now clear that the fiercest elements have indeed come out on top. The revolution is no longer dominated by the ideas of featherweight academics such as Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. All that redemptive white fragility and anti-racism and intersectionality was sundered in a flash after October 7, 2023. A few bestselling authors didn’t stand a chance against the Marxist-jihadist alliance that swooped in with its genocidal chants and terrorist regalia. Woke 2, if we’re going to call it that, is in the hands of Communists and Islamists.

The word “crazy” is inadequate to the moment—when New York City’s mayor doxes thousands of innocent people; when someone who worked in a former al-Qaeda front group is a Democratic congressional nominee in New Jersey; when leading candidates around the country belong to a political party that wants to abolish national borders, the Senate, the presidency, and Israel; when CEOs are gunned down on the streets, and when elected Democrats stage run-ins with Jews in the West Bank.

Yes, that’s the other part of my warning that has also come to pass. The non-revolutionary Democratic establishment has thrown in with the leaders of Woke 2. They’ll flock to the revolution’s winners, whoever they may be. Having distanced themselves from defunding the police, pronoun enforcement, and “gender-affirming care,” they now rail against Jewish money, Jewish influence, and the Jewish state.

AOC is denouncing Woke 1 because crazy really is a political loser. But evil? Evil’s got legs.

Sadly, I think we may be forced to see them: Alert: The Brocialists Are Dandymaxxing.
