Stephanie McKellop, a graduate student teaching assistant at the University of Pennsylvania, has protected her Twitter account, so we’re unable to include her original tweet here. However, there are screenshots backed up by reports that have been published since she admitted she’ll always call on white men last … if she has to.

So, black women students will always be called on first, followed by other people of color, followed by white women. Uh huh. It’s something academics call “progressive stacking,” although we can think of some other names for it.

This is not "progressive stacking." This is straight-up teaching malpractice. https://t.co/ks1i2qVQVj

If the order was reversed what would this be called? This is the bigotry of low expectations & disrespect for people of color. Patronizing. https://t.co/2tDtSNSteP

Proud racist. Sickening. Also, how ugly to assume that black skin means a person requires priority coddling from a professor. https://t.co/YiGdxw5uYX

Damn, nothing racist about that. Mom, Dad – ready to send junior to U of Penn next year? https://t.co/BzjUPEPXCy

I wouldn't want to take a class where a professor, who is paid by tuition $, openly admits to discriminating based on race and gender. https://t.co/VYnFs3USnB

Social justice is neither social nor justice. Discuss… https://t.co/t4xy9hg6on

Social Justice sure has an uncanny resemblance to racism/bigotry when applied in the real world. https://t.co/B0wLZGSrCM

Unbelievable. I guess this is considered "equality" in 2017? @jordanbpeterson @GadSaad https://t.co/GoOqbHyBy4

History is so vast, and myopia and denial so universal, that it accommodates complete idiots like this https://t.co/cOFhRf1RY2

Is well-intentioned racism still racism?
Yes. It leads to the same corrosive dynamics. https://t.co/5h9FFe54O0

Anyone really think that's only a policy for calling on students, not also for grading? https://t.co/XvWyQoZg57

Hey, anyone remember “professor in exile” Bret Weinstein, the “deeply progressive” professor who was told he might not be safe on the campus of Evergreen State College following his opposition to a white-free “Day of Absence”? He had some thoughts.
Disgusting. And if one follows the game theory through, this ends with a massive loss for actual social justice, equity and harmony. 1/ https://t.co/cYq7xdeJa6

This also amounts to reparations within a classroom, which is incoherent given any standard of logic. 2/

We see the same illogic at institutional scale. Happens because an entire quadrant of the academy is delusional, and it isn't academic. 3/

They are actively engaged in social re-engineering of higher ed based on fictions that could be debunked in an hour of open discussion. 4/

This is why free speech is on the ropes in colleges and universities. Open discussion must be impossible for the juggernaut to march on. 5/

If one tries to reveal the problem to the outside world, the machine visits stigma and personal destruction for heresy. 7/

The apparatus borrows heavily from racketeering. Extra-legal penalties drive and protect the system. Snitching is the highest offense. end/

Looks like the word is out — that our good teaching assistant … was smeared by Nazis. Yeah, that’s the problem here.
Being against Progressive Stacking is not "Nazi", stacking is. Progressives intentions may be good; their methods are flawed & will not work pic.twitter.com/m8Ho66OBSB
