This was after conservative faculty were accused of racism and making them feel unsafe. The Daily Wire obtained audio which shows that the alleged racist comments weren&#8217;t made. The activists who claimed they were unsafe were treated with respect.<\/p>\n<p>The racist remarks allegedly occurred, ironically, during an October 11 diversity committee meeting, and centered around claims made by students who attended the meeting in support of professor Paula Parks, who obtained her doctorate in philosophy at Capella University and runs Bakersfield\u2019s Umoja ASTEP program, described on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bakersfieldcollege.edu\/student\/aai\/umoja\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">its website<\/a> As \u201ca program that integrates academics, support services and African-American culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After that meeting, Parks\u2019 students began publicly claiming that their mentor was smeared by Matthew Garrett, who has a doctorate in American history from Arizona State University and teaches history and ethnic studies at Bakersfield. One student, Jordyn Davis, submitted <a href=\"https:\/\/committees.kccd.edu\/sites\/committees.kccd.edu\/files\/PublicComments-JordynDavis-19oct22%20.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a written comment<\/a> to Bakersfield\u2019s academic senate with an alleged direct quote of Garrett saying \u201cDr. Parks\u2019 way of teaching is not\u2026\u201d This made her feel good. \u201ca mixture of confusion and concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=ftRes8eeQWs&#038;si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE&#038;t=1458\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">additional comments<\/a> Davis, a member of the KCCD Board of Trustees, claimed that Garrett was not being treated fairly by the Board. \u201cwent on to insult Dr. Parks,\u201d She insisted. \u201cfelt very personal and came from a place of hate.\u201d Both times, Davis began her remarks with Garrett \u201cinsisted\u201d A survey that purports to show what students of color have experienced \u201cracial stress,\u201d \u201crace-based physical aggression\u201d  \u201cmicroaggressions\u201d It was wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett is alleged by audio to have made the comments during the October 11 meeting. <em>Ask<\/em> whether the underlying survey was valid and suggested doing another survey, since the original was conducted during the pandemic when students weren\u2019t on campus. At the end of his comments, he suggested that he was \u201cconcerned about repeated appeals to popularity as evidence of truth\u201d and indicated toward Andrea Thorson, Bakersfield\u2019s dean of instruction, that she teaches in her class that this is bad logic. He did not mention Parks in his remarks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCall me old fashioned but I believe in truth and evidence-based reasoning,\u201d Garrett shared his thoughts with The Daily Wire. \u201cIn an age of emotional incontinence we need to remember that while feelings do matter they cannot displace facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Garrett <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/california-college-professor-completely-fabricated-claims-racism-may-cost-him-his-job\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> Fox News announced earlier in the week that \u201ccompletely fabricated\u201d Garrett could lose his job if he makes racist claims. Garrett stated that, since the meeting at which the allegations were made, he had received notices from the administration claiming that he had caused problems. \u201creal harm\u201d Students and was being removed by the diversity committee.<\/p>\n<p>Two other students submitted comments to the academic senator. One student claimed that she felt uncomfortable. \u201cvery uncomfortable\u201d After walking into the room, and looking around \u201ca few of the faculty\u2019s faces.\u201d She also claimed she \u201cfelt\u201d that if she were to take those professors\u2019 classes, she \u201cwould fail in the classes because of the color of my skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another accusation revolved around comments made during the October meeting by Ximena Tavares (a research assistant who received her doctorate in philosophy from Caltech). Parks read an accusation from a student at the December board meeting who claimed Da Silva Tavares said during the October meeting that racism doesn\u2019t exist. Da Silva Tavares raised her concerns about the methodology used to collect the survey that showed students of color were victims of racism on campus. She also asked if there was a problem with racism on campus. Her remarks were concluded by her saying she and other faculty members agreed that racism is a problem on campus. \u201cquestion the solutions of the problems,\u201d  \u201cquestion even the problems that you\u2019re saying that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daily Wire&#8217;s request for comment from Da Silva Tavares was not answered by the latter.<\/p>\n<p>One of the comments submitted by another student was focused on Catherine Jones&#8217; question to Garrett, one of the professors who attended the meeting. Jones asked Garrett when they entered the room. \u201cWhy the f*** are they here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones admitted to making the comment in an academic senate meeting in October, saying she was reacting to what was, in her view, Parks\u2019 use of students as pawns.<\/p>\n<p>Parks addressed the allegations against Garrett as well as other members on the diversity committee. \u201ctrauma\u201d Her students were able to endure the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I take students to a campus committee meeting, I want them to be positively educated about how an educational institution works, not traumatized and questioning whether they want to enter the profession,\u201d Parks said.<\/p>\n<p>Parks was then questioned about her students. \u201ctraumatized.\u201d She didn\u2019t respond.<\/p>\n<p>Parks and the students left the diversity meeting after just 40 minutes.
