media sources often manipulate stories one way or another to accomplish their political desires, leaving out this or that...or doing whatever to bias the story.
some are more biased than others...
telling a half truth is the same as a lie in my book.
anyway...some people need a slap to wake them up from their whitewashed suburban world....
however, the document "diversity facilitation training" by shakti butler is downright incendiary, and if anything, she only shoveled fuel on the fire for racism.
as a student in the dorms myself, you have to realize that RA's have no real power, unless you're in violation of university rules, and they have no authority to force meetings on anyone.
I imagine that most students in the dorms didnt show up for such meetings, as I can assure you that there would be protests on campus if it were REALLY mandatory.
and most of the related documents are available on FIRE's website if you look
