‘Black Lives Matter’ Protests Have Black Students With Failing Grades Demanding A Free Pass


Black students at Oberlin College with failing grades are demanding a free pass due to the recent events surrounding Michael Brown, Eric Garner and the “Black Lives Matter” protests.


In a related report by the Inquisitr, black students at Columbia University and even Harvard Law requested an extension for semester final exams due to being “traumatized” by the grand jury rulings, riots and shootings.

A recent petition has gathered several thousand signatures already and it specifically requests that Oberlin College give failing black students a grade of “C” at the minimum.


“I would really like to see the normal grading system suspended for this semester and replaced with a no-fail mercy period. Administrators should require professors to exercise complete flexibility in what students are saying they can produce academically.

“Require that every professor listen to what their students are saying and if that means rather than writing a paper students instead meet with their professor to simply discuss in groups their paper topics or if tests are taken collectively with professors there are ways to make sure we are learning what we are supposed to be learning in ways that are not so taxing in times like this.

“Students in this moment should have complete access to alternative modes of learning while we process what’s happening. Basically, no student especially black students and students of color should be failing a class this semester. A ‘C’ should be the lowest grade students can receive this semester. Professors should be required to work with students, who would otherwise be at risk of failing, to create alternate means of accessing knowledge.”

Oberlin College president Marvin Krislov has already responded to the petition by saying that “suspending grading protocols is not the way to achieve our shared goal of ensuring that students have every opportunity and resource to succeed.”

In response, some students cite Oberlin College’s graduation of George B. Vashon, the college’s first black student 19 years before the Emancipation Proclamation. Vashon went on to become a professor at Howard University, and today’s black students believe this means they should have the ability to support the “Black Lives Matter” protests and receive a free pass.

“Imagine if you had to tell your grandkids, ‘I didn’t go out and fight for what is right because I had to go finish a chemistry final,'” said Oberlin student senator Nick Canavan, according to the WCPO.

“Class is important,” said student Megan Bautista. “At the end of the day this is not just about me—this is about advocating for black and brown bodies and the assault on them.”

Do you think black students should be given a special exception if they have failing grades due to attending the “Black Lives Matter” protests?

College students?

[Loco Vette]

This sort of victim mentality is the core issue that has led us to this place.

[lander]

Guess I need to buy more ammo. Sigh.

[RedLS1GTO]

I mean... just... wow.


I had tests on September 12, 2001. ...a DiffEQ exam to be exact. Sometimes responsibility is a bitch.

Go f**k yourselves you ignorant, lazy, racist pieces of sh*t.

[Sea Six]

These assholes can't score highly enough on exams for whatever reason.

Therefore, the only way they can get by is if we make such concessions to them.

George B. Vashon didn't get a free pass and he went on to graduate while dealing with a hell of lot more racial issues to contend with than these bunch of losers.

When you're in college/post-graduate school, the death of your grandma, the divorce of your parents, or you getting "kidnapped" by your frat and dumped naked on the campus of an all-girls school are not excuses to not pass a class. You are expected, to a very large degree, to shut out the rest of the World and to concentrate n your studies. I see no problems with this expectation.

Racist.

I remember having an exam scheduled the afternoon of 9/11/01. I was about 100 miles from NYC. It was re-scheduled...to 9/12/01.

They should all act like the adults they should have become by now and fulfill their obligations to the class. Try that kind of excuse for non-performance in the workplace and you'll likely be out of work. Deal with whatever life sends your way, and do your job... and going to class and completing all your assignments on time is the "job" description for a college student. If that life lesson has not yet been assimilated I fear for those poor student's futures. Asshats.
