UMich students demand "No Whites Allowed" space

Students at the University of Michigan have taken safe spaces to the next level: they've demanded campus officials provide them with “a permanent designated space on central campus for Black students and students of color to organize and do social justice work.” NO WHITES ALLOWED! This totally reasonable demand is but one of several requests made by protesting and screeching even as the university builds a $10 million dollar center for black students. But, obviously, that $10 million dollar safe space is not good enough: [quote]In their demands, students explain why the new black student center is not enough, “because we want a space solely dedicated to community organizing and social justice work specifically for people of color.” “We want documentation of past, current, and future student activism and this should be a permanent space that is staffed, and has resources for students to organize and share resources,” the demand letter states.[/quote] The Michigan Review accurately reported: [quote]“To advocate for the ideals of diversity, equity and inclusion, while simultaneously calling upon the University to sanction these spaces on campus is both unprincipled and laughably regressive,” it added.[/quote] No word yet on if they will require separate water fountains.
