   >In 2024, Speake was the subject of controversy after an email he sent to a student criticizing Trinity's diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda was forwarded, leading to a student boycott of his classes and circulation of a student petition calling for his dismissal.[8] Speake later took sick leave, and the college distanced itself from the views expressed by him in the email,[9] which was said to undermine the African-American roots of jazz.

     it's interesting to me that the notion of them *not* being racially discriminated against is the thing that makes them feel unsafe. when they were told they were being oppressed, that was a nice and comfortable environment. but remove that and they get uncomfortable.
