FOX News reports:

California college professor says ‘completely fabricated’ claims of racism may cost him his jobA California college professor is fighting back after he says his job has been threatened due to allegations of racism and hate speech that he said were “completely fabricated.”Tenured Bakersfield College history professor Matthew Garrett said he and other faculty members of a free speech coalition were targeted with false allegations after they asked questions during a campus diversity meeting last October. Shortly afterwards, Garrett received a notice of unprofessional conduct by the administration that claimed he had caused “real harm” to students and said he was being removed from the diversity committee “effective immediately.”In December, vice president of the school district’s Board of Trustees John Corkins made headlines after he lashed out at the group during a board meeting saying the “abusive” and “disrespectful” minority of teachers needed to be “culled,” and taken “to the slaughterhouse.”Professor Garrett told Fox News Digital he wasn’t the only one who had “growing campus frustrations” with the “radical” changes that the district had made in the past few years.”Many of the faculty quietly tell me thank you for speaking up because we’re afraid to do so,” he said.He described how critical race theory and other racial equity initiatives had become popular after Black Lives Matter drew national attention in 2020.”Our campus has been really radically transformed in the last two years or so. In the last two years we’ve adopted critical race theory, diversity training, implicit bias training, micro aggression trainings. We’ve adopted racial quotas and preferences, affirmative action-type behavior, we’ve adopted racially segregated classes, we’ve adopted mandated masks, compulsory vaccines, and location tracking software. We’ve got funding going to propaganda webpages you can track through grants,” he said.
