Down goes another victim of leftist ideology.

Seattle University has fired Dean Jodi Kelly for promoting what they claim is a curriculum that is “too Western” and too focused on “Western philosophy.”

For more than three weeks, nitwit students have staged a sit-in at the school’s Matteo Ricci college, HeatStreet reports. They have been calling for the resignation of Dean Kelly, claiming “the only thing they’re teaching us is dead white dudes.”

The students claim the curriculum leaves them “bored, dissatisfied, traumatized, ridiculed, tokenized, otherized and pathologized.” The focus on Western thought is “damaging and erasing” to their delicate psyches, leaving “lasting effects on their mental and emotional well-being.”

Sound insane? They’re not done. They claim that “for students to have their personal and ancestral voices erased in curriculum and conversation, only to be told that their experiences of pain are insignificant, is psychologically abusive.”

Administrators first tried to compromise, offering cultural-literacy training for faculty and a curriculum review. Kelly herself said she’d also work with an outside consultant to gauge the university’s culture and racial climate.

But students say they won’t be satisfied until the university gets rid of Kelly, who has served as dean since 2012. Among their gripes: In response to students’ calls for a more diverse curriculum, she recommended a book by black activist Dick Gregory, entitled Nigger. (Its author has publicly defended Kelly, pointing out that he, not the dean, chose its title.)

In placing Dean Kelly on “administrative leave,” the schools’ interim provost wrote: “I have taken this action because I believe, based on information that has come forward in over the past several weeks, that successful operations of the college at this time require that she step away from day-to-day management and oversight.”

It’s unclear what Kelly’s newly announced administrative leave entails; the interim provost has said it will review complaints against her, and install an acting dean in her place.

A spokesperson for the student protestors told the Seattle Times the decision was “a win for our organizational efforts.”
