How do 'intellectuals' fool themselves into thinking an ideology with no real means of measurement from person to person, acting on assumptions of who is and isn't disadvantaged and assumptions of what causes it, with no hard system of categorising who gets what, why they deserve it over another, and what 'disadvantage' trumps another...it's tiring even putting it into words, it goes on forever in a circular logic without any solid foundation, it's mindboggling how they can be touted as the torch bearers of reason and believe one of the most unreasonable outlooks on life, especially equality/equity of outcome, an inherently discriminatory and abhorrent in practice goal to have, heirarchy is inherent, all animals have it and it's unavoidable, the very moment two people do a task and one is better at it, poof, hierarchy, we will never be equal, there's a million ways we can each be better than eachother at various things in life, they're acting on the assumption any and all discrepancy is based on race and gender discrimination first and foremost, then income of family, sexuality and nationality. Remember "i think therefore i am", well for intersectionalists it's "i'm not white male therefore i suffer" they can be middle class or wealthy, beautiful and treated well by all they encounter and still believe this.

There is already a word for “inclusive excellence” in the English language. It’s called “mediocrity”. Excellence is exclusive by definition.

Not seeing race is the new racism. Not seeing sex is the new sexism. Not having bias is the new biased.

FYI. I have lived and worked, gone to college and raised a family without ever hearing the word "intersectionality".

I am from India and did my college education in the US. Before leaving for America, I had a high opinion of the education system (many of the facets of the US higher education system is indeed wonderful and should be celebrated), but after getting there I realized I wanted to go to college in 90's America not then (2006-20111), it was still pretty chill and relaxed though. The first shoots of this craziness started probably in 2009, right after obama. I took a journalism class and the teacher randomly got us to take a are you gay quiz, ostensibly to empathize with those who are. One of the questions on the test was how do you know you are not gay, and it continued to build on this point. Trying to hammer you into submission saying that yes you are gay. When the teacher asked me to read my answer aloud due to me being a foreigner, thus might bring in a different perspective, I started with that specific question - How do I know I am not gay, I told them simply because no one taught me to be straight. I just realized sometime in my early teens that the girls I saw previously looked very different now and they had something which I wanted. Now it has gone to extreme levels, I can see.

"Valuing diversity, equity, and inclusion..." If I were reading though the propaganda documents, this is where I'd stop and scratch Evergreen off of my list.

"Fetishize the Marginalised" what an accurate way to put it. Using them to fill one's own needy emotional holes.

This has probably been said many times but, I appreciate something more when I earn it, rather than have it given to me. I worked my butt off to get my degree at 40, it was worth all the lost sleep, stress and trying to get through finals with the flu, than to have someone hold my hand along the way. There were so many times I wanted to quit, but I held on to the end. I also think some high school students aren't ready for college right out of high school, they need to get out into the world, experience failure and other travails of life first before heading into the shark-infested waters of college. Just saying.

Sounds like a Maoist retraining camp to me.

Is this where all the anger comes from? The constant focusing on differences, followed by the inevitable failure to achieve this “equity” ?

Ughhh "equity".I genuinely get annoyed by the word. Whenever you hear it you know they are giving preferential treatment based on a immutable characteristic to some on the basis they think you can pre-judge people solely on those immutable characteristics. The idea you can look at someones skin color and say "well i can tell everything about you from your skin color and since you are X you are privileged or you are x therefore disadvantaged" is actually prejudice,wrapped up in a rainbow to be aesthetically pleasing. Its the same ethic Harvard is currently being sued for on account of being racist to Asians. I detest this need for educational institutions to indoctrinate.Their role is to educate and impart knowledge,not brain wash.

I keep watching these Evergreen videos in hopes that one day the story will be that evergreen has completely crashed and burned and is shutting down. I think that the brainwashing and Marxist teaching that Evergreen does is harmful for the students who attend, and the nation at large. The fact that they receive taxpayer money to do this makes it even more apparent. I'm sure there are some students that make it through ok, but the ones featured in the protest videos are a mess. It's as if you pay the university to make you LESS able to perform well in the workforce and less equipped to get a job. Their motto should be "Come to Evergreen. We will make you stupider"

Notice the words "gainful employment' aren't mentioned. LOL

The picture in the degree planning guide looks like some kind of religious revival. Can't be the actual students though, their faces resonate hatred and bitterness.

How is public money allowed to run a place like this?

"Students who complete a liberal eduction are well prepared to make an impact on society." "Do you want extra cream with your frappuccino?"

So they are going to take a diverse group of people and make them the same. Got it. 👌. Dolor.

Teachers at public universities are public figures, their contact information during work hours is not private information. I lecture law. I expect no privacy. I _want_ to be held accountable if I am wrong. I get drowned in 'you're a nazi' claims because I think free speech trumps feelings. Hell, in the past I've had my home and cars shot up and one joint home invaded while I was overseas. I've been pulled off stage by the federal police here because someone allegedly came to shoot me (no idea if it was true - guns are banned in my country). Do I blame the journalists who published my home address? Yes. Would I care if they gave my work address? No.

Say, did they ever find those 'racist teachers'? And if so, did they got to go?

Please let us subscribers know if you'll ever be in Los Angeles. "Inclusive excellence" is just too funny.

This is not what parents want. Most parents have no idea what is going on in these schools. And if we're looking at patterns, this document is pretty run of the mill for universities these days.

A good majority of jobs these days, outside of specialized fields, don't even require a degree. The most important thing you can get from college is connections and the ability to discuss topics, including ones someone might disagree with. Giving into the "If you think differently, you don't belong" mentality defeats the purpose of such institutions.

Yeah, sure, I bet they'll really take their "inclusion and equity" doctrine seriously when black students start yammering on about white people. Their speech will be protected. So inclusive. So tolerant.

When ever I hear the words inclusive, diversity, equable in relation to a college or university I immediately go a higher state of alert, waiting for the Merde frappe le fan yet again. I am glad that my nieces and nephew will not be going ESC

how the hell does this "school" get governmental funding?

..."the intention does not matter. The effect matters." Chilling.

They should teach a class called “Implementing Double-Speak”

Hi Benjamin. Thanks all that you do.

That "not about creating an intellectual space, it's about creating a home" clip always kind of startles me. I have such a hard time getting my head into that place. It does remind me how universities have, for a long time, used lines in their marketing about being a home or home-like, and I wonder how much that's responsible for the mindset. Never thought people would take it that seriously as opposed to a fluffy way of expressing "We put a lot of money into the dorms and utilities."

its our goal to take individuals, tell you to be individuals, then immediately jump to collectivisation and demand groups of people need extra bonuses based on arbitrary characteristics and dismiss the whole "individual" notion as now we have found a way to group you all

We are Borg. Your cultural and technological distinctiveness will be adapted to service us.

Was struck by an observation that the younger generations are not having time alone to work out issues with each other, that they always rely on the helicopter parents to work things out. the longer we draw this period out in someone's life the more dangerous it gets

The problem with keeping the winners down is when do you stop hobbling the winners? When does a winner become not a winner but like everyone else? Do we keep beating on the former winners until they become losers? When do we end Affirmative Action for example? Or what happens when the losers become winners? Do we scale them back or keep propping them up at the expense of others? Men and women for example...according to a number of studies men have serious issues when you make comparisons between the genders...yet we still pound on men, especially white men. We are now at a place where you can point your finger at a man and he will lose his livelihood and reputation. Finally, who do we put in charge of deciding who gets beat on? Isn't this what revolutions and civil wars are made of?

Yikes! I know someone (cis white male with high gpa) who applled to TESC over a month ago & they haven't yet accepted him-he has since become aware of the state of things there & isn't keen on the drama. Speaking of drama-what a cliffhanger! How did it turn out between cat & chipmunk??

I watched a whole ad for you...

Hey hey, ho ho! Trebuchet this school into the sun!

I don’t get what happened. In the 60s & 70s we were moving towards true racial equality. Where did it go wrong?

Blurs out ok sigh. LOL. WP! When they were listing whether your aspirations are blah blah blah, they left out far left wing activist, Antifa, or BAMN member.

My favorite professor at evergreen when I was there was my Russian Teacher, Elena Smith. Most real teacher I’ve ever met. She used to tell us how shitty communism was, and I swear I saw some students confused by what she was saying. Like “What? Isn’t communism the ideal society?”

Bridges has to go. To call him an embarrassment is an insult to merely awkward people who are accidentally and innocently embarrassing.

I loved how you blotted out the OK hand gesture. LMFAO

It's a little disconcerting having your children raised by radicals.

@5:14 "...you will have strong written and oral communication skills..." I actually made an involuntary snorting noise at that bit. Yeah, sure, George. I'm sure we all remember the writing from student activists featured on this channel over the past year.

You got some funny ass editing going on in this video! 7:03 Benjamin Boyce - Making cat videos _relevant_ on KZfaq in 2018. Edit: Did that rodent eventually become a "gift" in front of your door? I had a cat that used to leave dead mice at my front door all of the time.

Myself, wife, and a couple friends attended the Portland State discussion about the James Demore memo last winter. Bret made a cameo appearance, with the panel made up Heather Heying, Helen Pluckrose, Peter Boghossian, and of course James Damore. As we were standing in line, we got into a conversation with a woman that graduated from Evergreen. Her favorite teach was Heather. She was both dismayed and saddened by the loss of two great minds from Evergreen. I can confirm, after listening to the debate, Heather is a very interesting person to listen to. I hope Evergreen can figure things out for the sake of those that are attending and the graduated. I think a good start would be to fire the president.

Don't let the cat kill a chipmunk!! My cat brings mice in the house and lets them go too. Such fun!

The future is not up, it's forward. Up is is the supernatural.

Cults always create new terms. Control the language with which their thoughts are constructed and you control the architecture of ideas that are created. Thetans are double-plus good!

"When you leave Evergreen you will be prepared to be specially collaborative" ... chanting "Hey Hey Ho Ho" in the office when things get tough at work.

Evergreen has a new "Disorientation Manual"? Why am I so surprised?

"Especially collaborative" at Evergreen means you get to be part of a SJW Junta that on occasion performs coup d etats on university departments or administrations. BTW that "catastrophe" clip was hilarious :)

Perhaps the students shown on the manual's cover are looking up at President Bridges, who is standing on the roof of a 12 story building. The students are chanting "Jump, jump, jump, jump...."

I prefer looking at the methodology rather than the intent as indicators of outcomes. The handbook promises multiple (diverse) methodologies (courses) that lead to the same (equitable) good grades (excellence) requiring only selection (planning) by any (inclusive) inept (disadvantaged) student with faculty (team). The handbook advises the student who can't meet the course requirements, to switch courses to something suggested by the faculty they can get good grades in. That seems like a bait and switch, bait them with the promise of good grades in disciplines of their choice, then tell them to switch subjects to get those grades. It would be interesting to know how many students switch subjects and to what subjects and if those subjects have standardized grading or lead anywhere.

'Especially collaborative' = fully indoctrinated into a identity group philosophy, viewing yourself as part of a collective and thus in collaboration with all your fellow identity kamaraden. As for the argument about breadth of perspective.... *cue maniacal laughter* sure, except for having ANY familiarity at all with the viewpoints that might actually challenge your orthodoxy i.e. the only perspectives worth a damn to ensure your opinions are well founded in the first place.

Always on point! Thanks.

did you get those guys who wrote the book on your channel? I'll look but since you have so many videos, i might not find it, thanks!

Paused at the 13:15 mark to shake my head at the word salad and have that action rearrange the meaning into something relateable......and what instantly came to mind was that these educators, and by extension the state are redefing what is and how community mindedness is expressed according to a deconstructionist world view. The cultural marxists have successfully dismantled the traditional meaning of The Family and by undermining and diminishing the significance of a married mother and father complementing each other and committed to raising their offspring are now usurping the role. Before all this, communities (for the most part) evolved around the church which was the glue that allowed its members and supporters to express their humanity and humanitarian goodwill to the needy with focus primarily on the immediate community (in theory). The ideal was Jesus and those most earnest/devout and well meaning strived both individually and collectively) to make the mark (with the belief that goodness and change would evolve through the ripple effect -- fundamentalist extremists aside) but now that this peculiar western cultural norm has been ridiculed, maligned and legislated to the fringe, the statists/communitarians are busy filling the void with creatures of their own design adulating new heroes (eg Marx and popstars) and spreading a replacement doctrine which appears to be the antithesis of the Gospel. I swear I feel like punching the next teacher in my direct hearing who parrots the mantra that "It takes a village to raise a child" . Another lefty euphemism ... Village = The State. The line ... "teachers leave them kids alone"... takes on a totally new meaning in the post modern world.

You pixelated the okay sign. hahaha

5:40 Does it really say KZfaq? HAHAHA! KZfaq?

I'm glad I found someone who wants Evergreen to do better. I'm waiting to go there next year and when the riots happened and I noticed how crazy they all are, it really pissed me off. It kicked off my hatred of the SJW ideology while still identifying as left leaning independent.

Why did I get a notification for this I am not even subscribed????? WTF

No... it's not about creating a home at College. It's about educating you so that you can go out into the world and get a job, maybe start a career, to create YOUR HOME. The idea isn't for you to live at college... college is a stepping stone. It's not your Home, it's a Hotel.

Kudos to you for the up-front admission.

There was a piece on CBC radio today discussing grade escalation ( normalizing) in high school and concomitant de-escalation (correction) in 1st and 2nd yr university, also rustication, in Ontario, and Canada in general- OISE is to thank.

Lol 😂 pixelated ok sign at about six minutes in. Hahahahahaaa

As long as different races have different average IQs, equity of outcome will be impossible.

Hi Benjamin. Great video... I appreciate your comment on my vid too! This really helped me understand the indoctrination in detail - the "Inclusion Policy" how absurd. This school is really insane

The official tally for incoming freshman was supposed to be made 10 days into the first semester. That must have come and gone by now, right? What is it?

Lol, that chipmunk is fucked. Though, where was the inspirational music for that slo-mo escape scene XD

My daughter is moving here from Tennessee in January. She mentioned this college and we quickly caught her up on this college. Had to go over it twice because she was shocked at what was going on. Needless to say she will not be going there.

5:34 "...prepare you to achieve your future goals." Sounds like a lyric out of the Will Powers' "Adventures in Success", goodness.

That cover seems something out of a cult

First time seeing your content. Instant mad respect for you for calling yourself out for a mistake you made. Good on you, bro. 👏👏

I am hesitant to believe someone from your fan-base was harassing someone. I suppose it is possible, but I consider it very unlikely. Maybe I overestimate my peers.

It becomes all humans are equal. But some are more equal.

11:11 It was at this moment that I realized "wider" and "whiter" sound very similar, and can lead to some hilarious results.

love the way they see themselves as a successful institution, I do wonder how they are judging their success? Maybe it's judged by how good they "feel" about themselves? It's probably not judged on their academic reputation, the demand for admission spots, their financial success or the success of their fundraising efforts. It would be interesting to find out what criteria, if any they use or whether it's just seen as a marketing ploy which sounds better than trying to be successful.

Good call on the "share a mosaïc" rather than "contribute" or sth. Note also the use of "backgrounds and perspectives" rather than e.g. "origins and worldviews". The idea of "background and perspective" is that you have a different *literal* point of view, i.e. you see things from a certain vantage point, which may be, for example, privileged or oppressed, and this supports the idea that you can't understand other points of view. However, "origin and worldview" would mean that you have indeed a place you *started*, but from which you have the possibility to emancipate, and a worldview is something you create yourself, whereas a perspective is just something that happens to result from where you're positioned. Come to think about it, the whole intersectionality thing seems but a long and sophisticated metaphor about perspective. Which, interestingly enough, is also one of the big explanatory principles of flat-earthers. Just sayin'.

Especially Collaborative: Prone to group think, and critical of any opinions which stand outside of canonical liberal orthodoxy.

Especially callaboritive means you have no problem existing within the hive mind heirarchy.

'whom' do you think is being 'strung up' to the right of the handbook cover photo ?

Equiclusion?

Aw, the kitty brought you a new pet.

I think about that cesspool every time I go by on my way to Shelton.

HEY FAM, I'M SORRY, I HAVE 2 WAIT TIL THE MORNING 2 WATCH. I USUALLY WATCH YOUR STYLISH & INFORMATIVE CONTENT THE SECOND IT DROPS, BUT I'M CRASHING OUT. HAVING SAID THAT, I WANTED 2 AT LEAST STOP BY & SAY HI & INSURE THE LIKE BUTTON HAS BEEN ENGAGED (MECHANICALLY NOT EMOTIONALLY). I KNOW IT'S CHEATING, BUT COME ON, U KNOW I'M GOING 2 LIKE IT........... ALL MY BEST 2 U & YOUR FAMILY.

I would advise you to read Carl Jung's typology descriptions. Yes the MBTI was based on it but reading Jung's original is very interesting. He described the character traits of Extroverted feeling. And that extroverted feeling types try to create group harmony, and have other traits like vanity, conformity etc. he also believed most extroverted feeling types were women. I think there are many causes for the Evergreen disaster. BUT you might add this to the list. Extroverted feeling types often find positions in administration. They are talented at public persona. But the inferior function of an extroverted feeling type would be introverted thinking. Which would be the rational thinking introspective type. Or the introverted feeling types which would usually be rational qualitative function of a talented artist or writer. I think administrations expand and become more expensive because extroverted feeling types in administrative jobs hire more unnecessary extroverted feeling types. Then they are in charge of hiring teachers as well. They are not going to hire teachers of great intelligence or skills they will hire teachers who conform to their sense of group belonging. This does not mean the extroverted feeling type is all bad. The trait probably evolved to create dominant mothers who could harmonize small groups meaning children.

When you graduate from Evergreen you'll be a flippin Muppet.. We'll give you a diverse choice: Kermit, Ms Piggy or even Fozzy Bear.. Yaaay!

Why would equity necessarily need to weigh down people at the top? Isn't it giving more tutoring to people who need , and less to those who need less, rather than an equal amount irrespective of need?

If there's a God, you're doing God's work, Benjamin-hell, even if there isn't, you're still doing it.

Great video. I would like to know if the cat caught the chipmunk though.

Great analysis once again, thank you! 😎

Cultural competency skills huh????? My mind just locked up... what's the square root of negative 1?

On the cover, they are not looking up to the future, they are looking up to their false idol of social justice that they obey without question or thought.

I’m enjoying the snark, Benjamin😂

Pixillated his hand making the OK gesture? What? (at 5:57 for those that missed it.

The thing about equity (equality of outcome) is really simple: It will not bring everyone _up_ to the same level, but it will necessarily drag everyone _down_ to the level of the least capable. Not everyone can attain the same outcome at everything. Think back to when you were at school. Think of the people who were in the bottom sets for everything, the ones who left school barely able to read or write. Your outcome will be the same as theirs. They can't be heart surgeons, or physicists, or electrical engineers, so neither can you.

Specially collaborative education. That must be the new and improved, upgraded special ed. I always wanted to collabor with other specialists. Makes me feel inclusive.

“All Animals are equal, but some Animals are more equal than others.” - Animal Farm by George Orwell

Wow, that sounded like the movie The Sleeper.

Especially collaborative = works well in group therapy
