"The unfortunate thing that can happen is it can divert attention from looking at the real issue of racially motivated bias, gender-motivated bias, religiously motivated bias," said Wessler, an attorney and nationally recognized expert on on-campus hate. Oh, yeah, that's the "real issue," all right.

Despite the fake nature of the whole thing, some people still keep trying to whip up a campaign:
Some professors say the incident could set back their efforts ... Others maintain the steps taken after the initial discovery of the car were positive, and hope students will recognize that a climate hostile to diversity exists - regardless of whether the charges against Dunn are true. "The spirit of what has been going on in terms of dialogues and discussions needs to continue," said Jose Calderon, professor of sociology and Chicano studies ...
Groan.

"make it clear to other students that slurs and defamatory language will not be tolerated."
Except that slurs, lies, and defamatory language is encouraged and celebrated as being a free speech issue when used against whites, republicans, Christians, and President Bush.

It is the boy who cried wolf syndrome. The very legitimate concerns people have about diversity and things of that nature are lessened by the possible fraudulent act by professor Dunn.If the concerns were so very legitmate one wonders why the good professor saw the need to manufacture them?

There is no such thing as a "fake hate crime".
When a black student pins a note to his door purportedly from the KKK....When a black woman carves initials on her stomach herself and pretends it was done by a gang of white men...when a Latina lesbian does a similar thing and blames a gang of "homophobes"...and now this professorial loon...True hate crimes occured in each case.
The 'hater' is the person who staged the crime scene, and the victims are the people who, without any evidence, are blamed as the perpetrators : In most cases, pretty much any white person in the vicinity...Or any straight person, ditto...And so forth.

Known to respond abruptly and passionately to any perception of social injustice, the five major campuses canceled classes for a day of rallies and teach-ins after Dunn's car was vandalized and covered with hateful grafitti March 9. This lying professor should be charged the full cost of running those five major campuses for a day.

"The question for colleges is to decide whether this issue is going to be talked about when the next school year rolls around."Of course it is. How can you continue to fan the flames of victimhood unless the barely-existent-anymore, non-issue of racism (it'a like so '60s) is "talked about" ad nauseum. Naturally, a good hoax now and then helps the cause.

"For some students who have come to the Claremont Colleges, life is not the way they want it to be, and they realize you have to do something to change it."
I hear that some college professors actually invest in the stock market and create jobs. There oughta be a sit-in somewhere to halt this depraved situation.
