UPDATE: Evergreen State College Protesters Are Now Exempt From Doing Homework

evergreen state college protests homework

We all know that feeling of passing a massive car wreck on the side of the road. You know if you look, you’re not going to like what you see. However, for whatever reason, you can’t help but look. Something about human nature just makes it tough to turn away from a grisly, depressing scene. That brings us to the slow-mo car wreck that is Evergreen State College.

Yesterday, we first wrote about the protests taking place at the small liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest. Today, there’s a small but significant update: NO HOMEWORK!!!!

Protester: “All of us are students and have homework and projects and things due. Have you sent an email out to our faculty letting them know? What’s been done with that? We’re all here on our own time.”

Evergreen’s president George Bridges: “That is the first thing I’ll do,” replied Bridges. “I have not done it yet. I’ll do it right now.”

Protester: “So they need to be told that these assignments won’t be done on time. And we don’t need to be penalized for that.”

You’re getting a degree from a small liberal arts school in, I assume, race or gender studies, and it’s now widely publicized that the school doesn’t require you to do homework if you protest loud enough. Yep, that degree should take you straight to the top of a Fortune 500 company.

Just kidding! It’ll probably have equal or lesser value to a Trump University degree. Oh shit. Did I just cross party lines with that joke? I did. I like to keep things 100 around here. Keeps everyone on their toes.

See, college is just as much about maintaining a strict, positive schedule as it is about studying, so it’s best to get your homework and readings in before your daily protest at 3 p.m. No one knows how late into the night those protests are gonna go! It better not interfere with my 6 p.m. “So You Think You’re Triggered?” TedTalk, though.

I still can’t tell if I’m looking forward to seeing how this one plays out over the summer or not. After all, Titanic was both a tragic story and a box office hit. Sometimes you’ve got to sink the ship to get results, and it appears this ship is taking on water pretty damn fast.

  1. you’d think they’d want to go to school and do homework so they can lift themselves up despite hardships. people only recognize your value and feel it in your absence if you had value in the first place. as Christ rock once said, y’all a bunch of naggers not black people.

      I think it’s because we give these dumbasses attention, every loud and proud liberal I know always craves validation

      Their voices echo and magnify in the empty space their brains should be in.

      Evergreen college has a 98 percent acceptance rate…just imagine how bad you’d have to be to be part of the 2 percent rejected

        I found a great site that focuses on stay at home mom’s complete guide to gaining a serious amount of money in very little time. While being able to earn an passive income staying home with your kids. If you are someone who needs more money and has some spare time, this site is perfect for you. Take a look at…

    Realistically this better trains them for their professional life which will be not working and collecting welfare checks anyways

    Shortcuts in life end at the interview table. They’ve dug their own graves. More jobs for the worthy.

      Kind of funny how everyone on this site who has a business degree from any semi respectable college thinks they are going to be making 7 figures when in reality most of you will end up making 60k per year in a cubicle or end up working for me.

        No but you don’t work in a fucking cubicle. You meet people places, go to hospitals, etc.

        My dad is a sales manager in medical device sales, he even told me you don’t work in a cubicle. So go ahead and argue that kid

        If your dad is still keeping his stuff in a “file locker” then you might want to clue him in to Salesforce and let him join the modern world.

        Nigga I don’t know what the fuck it’s called. But it’s just a place to put your files. You don’t have your own cubicle for that. That would make absolutely no sense. And most of the time you just make a digital copy of it and put it on your computer. And if you need it, you print it. Use your head every once in a while

        Before you make an even larger ass out of yourself, why don’t you google Salesforce.com so you can at least think about maybe speaking halfway intelligently on a subject about which you obviously know nothing.

        Most businesses have a file locker that you have access to to store your leads, documents etc IF you are working out of a business. However, 99% of sales jobs, (at least with medical sales) people work out of their own home, and in fact, never go to their HQ. So then you store it at you home, therefore, no cubicle.

        Working for you? Didn’t realize glory hole operators at the local truck stop hired understudies.

        Not quite little man. It’s ok though we need plenty of zombies in the corporate world to make sure the needs of the big dogs like myself are met.

        Not quite squirt. I’ll happily knock you the fuck out though if that’s something you would be interested in.

        Most people with a career worth anything wouldn’t risk it to assault a guy over an internet comment.

        I’m tempted to take your challenge just to see what the textbook example of “asshole” looks like.

      12. thevaginator

        Yeah but let’s be honest. You are far too much of a pussy to do anything so go ahead and sit the fuck down before you get hurt

        You are one of two things. A; a young or aspiring professional who is putting the cart before the horse and doesn’t understand he’ll need to put his nose to the grindstone for a long time before becoming a “big dog” ie, corporate pledging. B; an actual big dog who would probably be at least 40 getting in online fights with kids in their 20s.

        Yeah but the rules are a little different when your father is a high level executive for one of the largest hospitality and restaurant brands in the world and you already have a six figure job waiting for you the moment you graduate

        So you’re a silver spoon ass hole who doesn’t have to work hard. I don’t hate you for it, that’s life. But silver spoon ass holes who act like they’re better than others (in the way you’re doing it) should kinda shut up.

        Amazing grammar there, Vaginator. Maybe you should focus on your pre-reqs before you get too ahead of yourself.

        Most will end up working for you? What the fuck kind of omnipresent organization do you work at?

      My dad has a similar paying job that could be passed on to me, and he told me: sorry champ but I’m working this job till you put me in a retirement home or the ground. Better get your shit together cause I’m not doing it for you. Two types of people… two types of people

        Yeah pussies like you who don’t have the balls or skills to make it to the top and people like me who have it in their blood.
