A California college trustee board member apologized after being confronted over his provocative comments directed towards faculty who were against the school district’s diversity, equity and inclusion measures.
At the Kern Community College District’s Board of Trustees meeting on December 13, several speakers attacked professors who started a free speech group at the Bakersfield College campus called the Renegade Institute for Liberty.
Community members, faculty and students accused the group of spreading “hate speech” on campus, threatening violence against Black students and attacking racial affinity groups.
