A Native American student at Cal State Sacramento University was told by her history teacher that there was no genocide against the indigenous population of North America. When the student, Chiitaanibah Johnson, took issue with this claim and challenged him, she was ejected from the class and expelled.
The professor said he didn’t care for the term “genocide” as he didn’t think it accurately describes what happened in relation to Native American history.
U.S. History Professor Maury Wiseman accused Johnson of “hijacking” his class when she challenged him on this. He also pointed out that he was very offended at her accusations that he was a “bigot” and “racist.”
The professor cancelled class for the rest of the day and apologized for the 19-year-old sophomore’s “disruptions.”
By the end of the week, he had expelled her from the class, according to Vincent Schilling, writing for Indian Country Today Media Network. Full story...
