Oberlin Prof Gives Brilliant Response to a Ferguson Related Request for Exam Delays
To summarize: “No.”
Dave Huber at The College Fix has the story:
Prof’s epic response to Ferguson-related exam delay request
It’s probably safe to assume to that Oberlin student Della Kurzer-Zlotnick was not prepared for her professor’s response when she asked him about delaying exams due to Ferguson-related stress.
Seemingly anointing herself a (white) spokesperson for black students who “have suffered significant trauma” due to the grand jury decisions in Ferguson, Missouri and Staten Island, New York, Kurzer-Zlotnick penned a three-paragraph treatise about why exams should be delayed, and why the professor (and the school as a whole) should be on board.
However, much to Della’s dismay, Professor Michael Raney, simply replied … “No.”

Comments
Nathaniel, “To summarize: “No.”” is not a summary of the prof’s comment but a direct citation. There is no way to summarize his answer.
I took that as tongue in cheek.
Was there, perhaps, a few adjectives involved?
“No” was a great response. Perhaps even better would have been the response of the general at Bastogne in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, General McAuliffe, who although surrounded when called on by the Germans to surrender sent back a one word answer, “Nuts”.
“Nuts” would simultaneously be a reply to the request and a comment on the mental condition of the requester.
It’d be great if that idiot Krazy-Kruzer fails the class.
