Dartmouth’s Paltry Apology Aimed at the Wrong People


Dartmouth’s administration is apologizing for hurt feelings of Black Lives Matter student protesters due to what they call the negative conservative criticism.  Nothing was said to the students who were harassed by this mob of 150 students, but only to those doing the harassing.

Some witnesses claim doors were blocked off and specific students targeted for verbal attacks if they refused to join into the protest. One student who attempted to flee the protest reportedly came under a barrage of harassment from protesters who allegedly screamed obscenities at them.

The quiet of the library, meant for studies, was disrupted by unruly students, who did not respect other students or the institution they attend.

The vice president of Dartmouth’s NAACP, Tsion Abera, made this statement:

These allegations of physical assault are lies to make white students look like the victims and students of color to look like the perpetrators,” Abera told The Dartmouth. “The protest was meant to shut down the library. Whatever discomfort that many white students felt in that library is a fraction of the discomfort that many Natives, blacks, Latina and LGBTQ people feel frequently.”

The school itself has been ineffective in its response.  The protesters are far from offering “dignity and respect” by the very nature of their protest where they demonstrate hate and racism toward those who are “white privileged”.

But despite the spectacular scene, Dartmouth College officials have made a rather weak response. The day after the protest, college president Phil Hanlon sent out a campus-wide email that affirmed the importance of treating people with “dignity and respect” but made no mention of the Thursday protest that obviously prompted it.
