Scripps Students Protest Madeleine Albright as Speaker Because She’s a ‘White Feminist’
4th April 2016
Students and (allegedly) some faculty are upset at the decision to invite former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright as Scripps College commencement speaker.
Part of the reason is the belief that she “enabled genocide” by yanking UN and US troops out of Rwanda in the mid-1990s.
Busted. (I thought Democrats got a pass on that sort of thing?)
Another is because she is a white feminist. It’s 2016, after all. Where are all the POC — People of Color?
“*Just out of curiosity* does anyone know how many POC we’ve had as guest commencement speakers at Scripps? 2…3?” asked another student. “real question. real problem,” asked one student on social media.
Man, there’s no pleasing some people.
