“I was a student on campus at The Evergreen State College during the Bret Weinstein catastrophe. To be clear, yes - there was intense conflict between the student body and Bret. Bret’s response to concern/inquiry posed by the student body was insufficient and evasive, which caused widespread anger. Not going to get into the “why” there was student concern in this review.
Instead of facilitating an honest and candid dialogue with the student body, Bret went to mega-conservative news outlets to vocalize his opinion. There was no debate facilitated & he knew the volatility of the far-right during this time period and took advantage.
As a result, I spent the last several weeks of my senior year in active shooter lockdowns, experienced a campus-wide evacuation due to a verified threat from a man who watched his interview on Fox News, my graduation ceremony was moved to a secured facility guarded by snipers. His actions threatened the physical security of my classmates and I, and my family.
Before you disregard as Liberal bias - prior to his actions, I was not involved whatsoever with the situation that unfolded. But he thrust me into it.
I’m typically a fan of your podcast, but disappointed with the lack of understanding of this issue before vocalizing a clearly biased view of the events/school. Poor Bret? No.”
