Famed anti-racist leader Jemar Tisby and his many followers have come out raging after a Christian College he previously spoke at repudiated his message and presence, releasing a report highlighting the error and apologizing for having him speak in the first place, which has drawn voluminous gnashing of teeth from the teacher.
Jemar Tisby, perhaps best known for writing the theologically compromised book The Color of Compromise, is the founder of the Witness Black Christian Collective (previously called Reformed African American Network or RAAN) which is an allegedly Christian organization created to “fight injustice” all the while promoting an openly pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ radical to the role of Vice President. In fact, it was only last year that he was Hired by Ibram X. Kendi to be His New ‘Assistant Director of Narrative and Advocacy’
In early February of 2022, Grove City College (GCC) after being dogged by “persistent reports of actions allegedly indicating creeping “wokeness” at the College, particularly through the introduction of critical race theory (“CRT”)” appointed an ad hoc Special Committee to review allegations of mission-drift. The Committee has completed its work and found that by and large they have not succumbed to wokeness or the advances of CRT, but did find a few “specific instances of misalignment”- such as a created “Advisory Council on Diversity” which they say is now defunct, a presentation by the Director of Multicultural Education and Initiatives (“DMEI”) “offering suggestions for how to
understand and support minority students.” which included a TED Talk video focusing on “whiteness” and criticizing the concept of race neutrality, and Jemar Tisby’s chapel service.
This they say was a mistake, and they have taken measures to ensure it never happens again.
This has prompted the response:

While Tisby’s chapel message was relatively benign, compared to much of the racially charged content he’s known for putting out, we applaud GCC for their repudiation and would suggest that until he deals with all the pro-LGBTQ and pro-abortion sentiment that plagues his own organization, that he not worry about it too much.
