"Dreadlocked, body-pierced granola-crunchers" demand "anti-oppression training"
Jules Crittenden

This is entirely charming. The dreadlocked, body-pierced granola-crunchers with sprouts stuck between their teeth at Hampshire College want “anti-oppression training” for all staff.

The article sadly doesn’t detail the nature of the administration’s failure to be insufficiently committed to fighting racism. It’s hard to imagine, if you know anything about Hampshire College. But what’s fascinating is that while the alternativistas earnestly claim they want to boost diversity at their 1,350-student ultra-liberal arts college in western Massachusetts’ Happy Valley, one of their demands is for residence halls exclusively for students of color and for “queer-identified” students. That doesn’t sound very diverse. Sounds … kind of oppressive.
