racism

[cookderosa]

I remember when my dean first told me about CLEPs and that I needed 3 of them if I wanted to finish my Bachelo'rs in a bit over a year, she told me something which I remember shocked me. She told me that they are very easy to pass and that if Blacks pass it, so can I.
I kept quiet which, now that I look back, I think was a terrible mistake because she keeps saying those words to other students too. What makes her think that she has the right to say that? :mad:

The Melanist Theory was a real thing. People were trying to link melanin levels in skin to IQ, but it was debunked in the last century. Maybe your dean is really really old, poorly read, or easily misled? Kidding aside, it's unfortunate that your dean's racism a) exists in the world and b) isn't run through a filter before she opens her mouth....cuz how ingrained does something have to be before you are casual enough to say it to a student AT WORK?

What I know about college- there is NO WAY she's getting repremanded unless you go public. People just Don't. Get. Fired. in higher ed. I looooovvveeee Clep101's suggestion, because she'd be bounced out in 2 seconds!
