Incidentally, the Council of Conservative Citizens and Robert Stacy McCain can't seem to get it right where my parents are actually from.  My father is from Guyana, and my mother is from Jamaica.

On page 8, you can see what appears to be an official Vanderbilt publication "poking fun":

Chris Carroll, mentioned on page 2, was the administrator in charge of student publications.  I asked him very early on not to let students publish attacks on me (like "Ability to Teach?" which said white students would now feel uncomfortable in my class).   Incidentally, Chris Carroll was quoted (by Reason I think) making a comment critical of Gordon Gee.


An article on the attack can be found on the website of Vanderbilt's "First Amendment Center".

Last year they had a conference on minority op/ed writers.

No one at the First Amendment Center has ever replied to one of my emails or phone calls.
