Just for the record and in case anyone has something to say on this subject. One thing I do know is that considerable amounts of money were involved in a football team strike. According to what I heard UM would have had to pay a $1 million dollar fine this weekend alone if they didn't show. Also despite the fact the team is not having the best of seasons, to put it mildly, there was a lot of bowl game dollars at risk. So I'm wondering if the university's board of directors told Wolfe he had to go because of the racial angle or the money angle. Personally I wish the university had pulled the scholarships and told the athletes to take a hike. But that wasn't going to happen in race conscious America.

CNN)—Several University of Missouri organizations, including the football team and the student association, saw their demand met Monday when university system President Tim Wolfe announced he was stepping down amid a controversy over race relations at the school's main campus.

Saying he takes "full responsibility for the inaction that has occurred," he asked that the university community listen to each other's problems and "stop intimidating each other."

"This is not -- I repeat, not -- the way change should come about. Change comes from listening, learning, caring and conversation," he said. "Use my resignation to heal and start talking again."

Mob rule.

Expect this kind of crap to spread all over the country, especially in the blue states...but not exclusively.

Glad I plan to move to my own private Idaho. I'll build a fortress and tough it out as best as I can.

Ugh, it's all sickening.

The Mizzou story continues to produce some interesting sidelights.

Ben Shapiro at Breitbart published a piece entitled "Seven Lessons from the University of Missouri Debacle". I won't quote the entire piece but this part, about the character of fired president Wolfe, provides an illuminating portrait of the kinds of squishy white Liberals who dominate American academia.

Leftists Are Cowards. Tim Wolfe caved at every turn regarding supposed systemic discrimination at the university. He began by apologizing to the ConcernedStudent1950 group after they shut down the university’s homecoming parade to surround his car and threaten him. “I am sorry, and my apology is long overdue,” he mewled. “My behavior seemed like I did not care. That was not my intention.” He took full blame for the incident, although he did nothing but ask police to remove the students from the parade route.

When a student began a hunger strike, he met with the student and said:

---

"His voice for social justice is important and powerful. He is being heard and I am listening. I am thankful for the leadership provided by him and the other student leaders in raising awareness of racism, injustice, and intolerance…. Racism does exist at our university and it is unacceptable. It is a long-standing, systemic problem which daily affects our family of students, faculty and staff. I am sorry this is the case."

On Friday night, he made the booboo of stating, “Systematic oppression is because you don’t believe that you have the equal opportunity for success.” This offended students who insist that everything in the world is someone else’s fault, even as they take taxpayer-funded educations.

On Sunday, Wolfe said he’d stay.

Today, he’s gone. He said, “It is clear to all of us that change is needed, and we appreciate the thoughtfulness and passion which have gone into the sharing of concerns.”

Wolfe could have stood tall. He didn’t. That’s because leftists understand that they must be sacrificed on the pagan altar of the New.

The Republicans of MO were as bad as Wolfe.

Republicans Are Cowards. It’s not just Democrats embracing the suck. Senator Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) tweeted, “Racism has no place in our society,” and then added that he hoped “that the students, faculty, campus leadership and the University of Missouri System will have an open and meaningful dialogue that will become an example for the MU System campuses, the state and country.” Republican Rep. Caleb Jones of Columbia stated, “The lack of leadership Mizzou has been dealing with for months has finally reached the point of becoming a national embarrassment. It’s time for a change in leadership and start the healing process.” Rep. Steve Cookson (R-Poplar Bluff) joined Jones in calling for Wolfe’s ouster. Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder said he wanted student concerns to be heard, but added tepidly, “our universities cannot be run by individuals’ making demands or using extreme actions.”

This is why Republicans lose. Republicans who fail to label a shakedown a shakedown shouldn’t be expected to stand up against the brutal narrative barrage from the left.
