2 thoughts on “Newfields’ new chair seeks to undo harm of race controversy

  1. “…I think America is a country that has a lot of racism within it, and we’re having to reckon with that.”
    If this statement is true, I’d like for Mrs. Christian to start by analyzing her own racist thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors.

  2. Unfortunately, what America is actually grappling with is a loud and pretentious cohort of individuals who profit from hyperbolically exaggerating and instigating class and racial warfare. Where Newfields should be a respite from this chaos, it instead embraces a psychotic worldview and will focus on pushing away normal, everyday Americans. I suppose that is OK to the deluded leadership since these patrons are perceived as mostly racist, anyway. At least only inclusive and diverse people will remain as its patrons — yes? Whatever today’s definitions of those words might be.
