Bret Weinstein will receive $500’000 from evergreen state college in a settlement. Weinstein objected to students calling for whites to leave campus for a day, and chose to stay on campus on the “day of absence”.

Students also commandeered college president George Bridges in his office, holding him there and subjecting him to more than four hours of verbal abuse before releasing him. A sampling of the abuse: “No fuck you, George.
