A beloved University of Missouri professor resigned after he refused to cancel a school exam during the hunger strike and athlete’s boycott.

Campus Reform reported:

Dr. Dale Brigham, considered one of the most beloved professors at the University of Missouri, has resigned after refusing to cancel an exam for students who claimed to feel “unsafe.”

“If you don’t feel safe coming to class, then don’t come to class,” Dr. Brigham told his students. “I will be there, and there will be an exam administered in our class,” he continued, imploring his students to stand up to the bullies on campus. “If you give into bullies, they win. The only way bullies are defeated is by standing up to them.”

  1. MO is a beautiful state with good fishing and hunting. But I wonder if the concept of "higher education" makes sense there.

    1. Quite possibly and hopefully it was the former, which would of course mean we still have a few men of honor in these united states.

  5. When the inmates take over the asylum, it's time to leave. Some things just aren't worth the effort to save
