(AP Photo/Charles Krupa, File) Chicago once sang that it’s hard to say you’re sorry.
But that was 1982, and the difficulty level looks to have lowered — just consider how common it is.
Add one more public apology to the pile, courtesy of a predicament in Portland.
But first: As I covered in October, an instructor at the University of Michigan caught the ire of the offended by introducing his class to a 1965 film.
The cinematic iteration of Shakespeare’s Othello starred Sir Laurence Olivier.
Just before the National Theatre Company’s production, Sir Laurence must’ve gotten some sun: Not everyone in two-time Pulitzer-finalist Bright Sheng’s class took to the tan.
Professor Bright had survived Mao’s China, but he couldn’t escape America’s social conscience.
Christian-Driven America-First Precious Metals.
Before markets collapse, the smart play is to move wealth or retirement to precious metals. Contact Genesis Gold now to make it happen smoothly with no hassles from a group driven by fellowship.
Speaking to the school paper, a frazzled freshman sounded off: “I was stunned. In such a school that preaches diversity and making sure that they understand the history of POC (People Of Color) in America, I was shocked that [Bright] would show something like this in something that’s supposed to be a safe space.” Despite the teacher’s letter of apology, he was replaced as head of the class .
And now, the blackface-ish controversy continues its carnage.At Oregon’s Lewis & Clark College, Associate Professor of English William Pritchard showed students a clip from Othello for discussion.Five days later — on October 11th — he shared with the class an article about Bright Sheng.But a safe space had been breached, and select students were aghast — among them Claire Champommier.In a letter, Claire clobbered her teacher.As reported by The College Fix , eleven of her peers co-signed.She delivered the missive to Associate Dean and Professor of Rhetoric and Media Studies Daena Goldsmith, Dean of the College of Arts and Science Bruce Suttmeier, and Associate Professor of English and Department Chair Karen Gross.Claire demanded William attend racial bias training.Additionally, she ordered , he must compose “a well-written apology, two pages in length or longer” and read it aloud in class.Her reasoning, as stated: “The discussion he facilitated took about half our class time, so we have reasoned there can be room made for a 3-4 […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
