How screwed up are our universities?

A China-born music professor at the University of Michigan was forced out of teaching a Shakespeare class — and reported to the Office of Equity, Civil Rights, and Title IX — after showing the classic 1965 film Othello to his class. The movie offended woke students because it features legendary actor Sir Laurence Olivier with darkened skin playing the title role.

Oh! The humanity! How could Sheng commit such a heinous crime!

A new professor will be taking over the class previously taught by Sheng in order to “allow for a positive learning environment,” said David Gier, the dean of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance.

“Professor Sheng’s actions do not align with our School’s commitment to anti-racist action, diversity, equity and inclusion,” Gier said in a department-wide email.

Sheng should be taken out and shot for his dastardly transgression!

Students were reportedly “shocked” to see Sir Laurence Olivier’s darkened skin while playing the role of Othello, who is a Moor in the original play. They complained that Sheng did not properly warn them ahead of time, informing them that the film would feature “blackface.”

“I was stunned,” one of Sheng’s students, Oliva Cook, told the Michigan Daily. “In such a school that preaches diversity and making sure that they understand the history of POC [people of color])in America, I was shocked that [Sheng] would show something like this in something that’s supposed to be a safe space.”

Those poor fragile snowflakes! Seeing something like that must have been a terrible blow to their psyches. How will they be able to go on living after witnessing something like that?

But, there is hope for Sheng. He has confessed his crimes.

“In a classroom, I am a teacher representing the university and I should have thought of this more diligently and fundamentally; I apologize that this action was offensive and has made you angry. It also has made me lose your trust,” Sheng said in another apology to the department.

The woke students, however, were not satisfied, and attacked Sheng for providing examples of his previous work with people of different races. In his apology, the professor reportedly named black individuals whom he had worked with, which also offended students.

Maybe Sheng can be rehabilitated after a couple of years in a reeducation camp.
