A UCLA professor who was suspended over an exchange with a student about grading black students more leniently in the immediate aftermath of George Floyd’s killing is suing the school, The College Fix reports. What’s a brief history here?
Gordon Klein, an accounting professor at the university’s Anderson School of Management, was suspended in 2020 after students launched a campaign to have him fired.
According to reports, students were upset over the tone of an email Klein sent to a student making it clear that he would not offer grading leniency to black students and that final exams would still be administered despite the ongoing protests across the country. The professor’s email was a response to a non-black student asking that black students be provided special consideration and accommodations due to Floyd’s death in May 2020 and the protests that followed. The student in question reportedly requested a “no-harm and shortened final exam, and extended deadlines for final assignments and projects in consideration of black students’ well -being in light of nationwide protests against police brutality.”
The student added, “This is not a joint effort to get finals canceled for non-black students, but rather an ask that you exercise compassion and leniency with black students in our major,” and asked the professor to consider grading the course “on a curve” for black students.
In response, Klein wrote, “Thanks for your suggestion in your email below that I give black students special treatment, given the tragedy in Minnesota. Do you know the names of the classmates that are black? How can I identify them since we’ve been having online classes only? Are there any students that may be of mixed parentage, such as black-half Asian? What do you suggest I do with respect then? A full concession or just half?”
Klein then questioned the possibility that a “white [Minneapolis] student” might “possibly be even more devastated” by Floyd’s death.
He also quoted Martin Luther King Jr. and said, “Remember that MLK famously said that people should not be evaluated based on the ‘color of their skin.’ Do you think that your request would run […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
