Princeton University required all incoming freshmen to watch an hour-long video that likened personal denials of racism to segregation, urged the students and university to do more for “undocumented immigrants,” and warned that those who protested the 2020 presidential election bear some resemblance to Confederates.
The purpose of the video was to grapple with “systemic racism and Princeton University,” according to the video’s subtitle, but it’s been criticized as painting a “one-sided and negative picture of Princeton’s history” as well as “ indoctrination .”
The video was organized as a commentary on a “ virtual gallery ” detailing racism at the Ivy League university with chapters on “Activism and Intersectionality”; “Race and Free Speech”; “Anti-Racism Resources and Actions”; and “Visions for a More Just World.”
The meat of the video began when one of the co-presenters asked four professorial panelists to react to an item in the gallery that caught their attention.
Segregation is like having black friends today
Historian Beth Lew-Williams, who is Asian, pointed to an item that was an instance of obvious racial segregation from the gallery. Its description read: In the 1930s, Bruce Wright was admitted to Princeton [on a scholarship], but administrators rescinded the offer when they realized he was Black. Dean of Admission Radcliffe Heermance told him, “If you’re trying to come here, you’re going someplace where you’re not wanted.” Wright was later named an honorary member of the Class of 2001. Lew-Williams read from Heermance’s letter, which asserted that “Princeton University does not discriminate against any race, color, or creed,” before the dean proceeding to do just that.
The dean claimed to “speak as one who has always been particularly interested in the colored race, because I have had very pleasant relations with your race, both in civilian life and in the army.”

Lew-Williams compared those honeyed words used to justify excluding Wright from the university to present-day people who have not kept people out of universities asserting their own lack of prejudice.
“It sounds a lot like, ‘I’m not racist, because I have black friends,’” she said. Princeton not doing enough for ‘undocumented immigrants’ Classicist Dan-el Padilla […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
