Student-Activists Release List Of Extreme Social Justice-Based Demands

Student-activists from a taxpayer-funded college in the state of Washington have released a list of extreme demands aimed at combating the school’s “systemic oppression,” including the creation of a new college dedicated to social justice.

“The Student Assembly for Power and Liberation” of Western Washington University strives to create a far-left environment on campus in response to the University’s “history of oppression” and violent acts on students.

“We are dedicated to dismantling violent and oppressive systems on campus to be able to reconstruct and build ones that promote marginalized students to thrive,” the group wrote on their Facebook page.

“This negligence which stems from a structure that has intentionally been built to uphold white supremacy and simultaneously push out historically marginalized identities,” the description continues.

If the new College of Power and Liberation were to go through, the group demands the immediate hire and funding of 10 new professors subject to student approval. To add to their financial requests, the group would require $50,000 to host an opening event for the new school and an additional $45,000 to pay for students workers to do “de-colonial work on campus.”

The student-activists also demand a new Office for Social Transformation dedicated to monitoring “racist, anti-black, transphobic, cissexist, misogynistic, ableist, homophobic, islamophobic, and otherwise oppressive behavior on campus.” This office would give power to students to discipline faculty members who commit offenses and allow them to place professors under investigation if they feel their classroom is not a safe environment.

In addition to administrative changes, the group’s lengthy list of demands also includes the creation of culturally segregated campus living arrangements. They claim residence halls based on cultural identities will allow students to connect, although it seems like these would create racially isolated environments that these self-proclaimed progressives would normally oppose.

The group has also decided to replace the spelling of “history” and “person” with the more politically correct “hxstory” and “persxn” in order to remove gender bias.

The university already appears to have a relatively liberal campus, which has a number of social justice programs and student run groups, such as the Department of Education and Social Justice, a queer resource center and an ethnic student center.

In an attempt to have their ideas heard, the student-activists crashed a February 12 board of trustees meeting, which was filmed and added to their YouTube channel.

At the meeting, they accuse the school administration of “denying our humanity and belittling our pain,” which they deem as an act of violence. They claim that administration’s “denial of basic student needs” and “complacency” are also violent acts.

They extended an invitation to the board to attend an Assembly for Power and Liberation meeting, but the board declined.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
