Midwest Chick's Place

 A Native American Law student at Yale sent out an invitation to a party using the term ‘trap house’.  Apparently this used to mean crack house but is now used to indicate a party.  

Wailing and screams of racism ensued (because apparently white folks don’t smoke crack or something).

Discrimination and Harassment Coordinators were dispatched post-haste to the student’s door.  The coordinators, according the article in the Daily Wire:

insisted he apologize for the email to make the situation “go away” and repeatedly implied his law school career would be in jeopardy if he didn’t. They also suggested his membership with the conservative Federalist Society (a decades old legal group with members on the Supreme Court) was particularly “triggering” for students. The two even drafted an apology for him to sign and send out

So apparently their job includes discriminating against and harassing students based on their connection to a conservative group.  An addition to their job descriptions apparently allows them to fan the flames of a situation to the detriment of their students to bludgeon them into submission.

The student himself writes:

I don’t believe that the now-common ritual of compelled apology, complete with promises to “grow” and “do better” (their words, but ones I’m sure you’ve seen many times before) helps anyone, or is even intended to. If we continue to indulge this culture of performative denunciation, the very idea of an apology will lose its meaning.

I think that Mr Trent Colbert, the student, will make a fine and thoughtful lawyer. Please read his whole statement at this link:  https://www.persuasion.community/p/why-i-didnt-apologize-for-that-yale
