A UCLA professor who was briefly suspended after declining a request that Black students get easier final exams after George Floyd’s death sued the school Wednesday, accusing it of defamation and loss of financial opportunities. Gordon Klein, a lecturer at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management who has taught there for decades, filed the lawsuit in state court against the school’s dean, Antonio Bernardo, the University of California Board of Regents, and a host of unnamed “co-conspirators.”
“I did this because the school has continued to retaliate against me, and other scholars are facing retaliation, and I thought it was important for someone to

Hurray for him! A brave man like Mr. Klein will get the truth out in the sunlight where all will see it. We have been scammed for long years by white liberals on behalf of the blacks, who will be victims forever if they don’t break out of that pigeonhole. His exam came at a level that some of these students should never have been at in the first place. When so-called “affirmative action” carries them into something like a university “School of Management”, that is their first downhill step. Placed at a higher level they didn’t achieve, they are set up to fail unless everyone along the way makes it easier for them. Singles them out because of their skin color for a soft, cushioned ride. Life doesn’t work like that.

For any Black folks who have a brain in their heads, giving Black students an easier final examination in schools, should be considered a racially based insult. Who would want to go to a black doctor who was given easier exams. so that he or she could graduate from medical school?

So - - let me understand this - - - -
The people who consider blacks to be mentally deficient (the demonrats and their academic toadies) - - are accusing someone who treats blacks as mental equals of being a racist.
Do I have that right?

Instead of insulting 'blacks' by calling them too stupid to do the work, why not , in the interest of 'fairness' give 'browns' slightly harder tests, 'whites' much harder tests, and 'yellows' extremely hard tests.?

Easier finals for blacks......the last step in the academic affirmative action fraud.
Best of luck to the professor, but the education system is so thoroughly corrupted with this anti-white racism these days, I doubt that much can be done to dent it.

OUTSTANDING! I don’t care about the good professor’s politics. He is standing up for individual liberty.

A professor giving an easier test to a black man than he gave to a white man, would be in violation of the equal rhghts act.

...hmm...??... I wonder what the student body, faculty, courts , and media would say IF the UCLA Athletic Dept announced that " ...In order to increase diversity...and be more demographically representative of the student body...there will henceforth be at least 50% of the team positions in Basketball, Football, and Track reserved for white students " ....???....c'mon man....we KNOW there would be riots

So, can we assume that blacks entering the workforce are assumed to be less competent than whites with a similar degree, because their school was easier? Oops. Never mind. Already true.

Re #6. Actually a lot of medical schools give extra help and tutoring for black students. My doctor friend said it depended on the school and how rigorous the training for all students black or white. The blacks from the tough schools tended to be as competent and well trained as the whites. The others, not so much.

This is not new. When I worked in Baton Rouge for the City Parish, now and then I'd test for a higher job. One of the human resources girls told me I made the 4th highest grade but had to be 8th on the list because they were forced to list blacks first. This was in the '80's.

If I were a black person who worked hard to earn my degree would be outraged. Lowering the bar for racial reasons would only hurt me professionally, as there would be people reluctant to use my services, as I didn't have the training as others, They need to stand up to the plate and back this professor.

Recall the 1970s when Allan Bakke was refused admission to medical school even though his MCAT scores were significantly higher than the average of those seeking admission. His scores were astronomically higher than those admitted under affirmative action guidelines. Eventually Bakke was admitted to a medical school and became a doctor. The black man who was admitted in Bakke’s place also became a doctor and later had his medical license revoked for malpractice. Haven ‘t learned much since.

I know two employers that shy away from hiring blacks just because they know the blacks have likely not really earned their degrees.

It's not that blacks are less intelligent, it's that they are unprepared to meet the academic standards of the schools. Affirmative action got them in but they aren't up to the task. You can lay the blame at the feet of Lyndon Baines Johnson and his Great Society. Give them the free stuff and they'll vote Democrat forever. Making exams easier is like giving a trophy just for participating. It's worthless.

We have been doing this for years. Look at the Harvard admissions. Different levels for Asians, whites, and blacks. For 100 years at least. Look at all major Metro areas, and exams for police, teachers, and firefighters. Different qualifying levels.
So what's the big deal?
Blacks are dumb. That is OFFICIAL US policy.
Blacks cannot compete on an equal basis with whites. So we must segregate.
RACISM is official U S Policy. Get over it.

Perhaps rural people live long enough to die of pneumonia in old age and c.o.d. is listed as COVID. I would not put it past them if they get money for each Covid patient.

Moving the bar lower for blacks is tacit admission that Democrats think blacks are 'less intelligent' than whites or Asians. Call it Black Privilege.
