Paul Rossi loved being a teacher, but that career may be over. He says, "I refuse to stand by while my students are indoctrinated."
At a racially segregated meeting of white-only students and faculty, they were informed that "objectivity," "individualism," "fear of open conflict," and a "right to comfort" are simply white feelings. Undesirable.
He questioned whether they should say that any human feeling or value belongs to just one race. Sounds like racism. He wanted to give the students a good example by being brave enough to ask a big question like this. A few days later, the Head of School wrote out a reprimand of Rossi to be read publicly to every student in the school by the advisors.
Accusations against him include creating "dissonance" and "neurological disturbance." He tried to bring in a professor from Brown University, but wasn't allowed to because this non-conforming black man would only "confuse and enflame" students. They would allow his views to be presented to the students if a white man said them. Huh? Watch the video.
