DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: Yale Cafeteria Worker Resigns After Breaking “Racist,” One-of-a-Kind Stained Glass:

A Yale cafeteria worker has resigned after smashing a historic stained glass window in Yale’s notorious Calhoun College residence hall, which is named after the 19th century white supremacist John C. Calhoun. The stained glass depicted two slaves picking cotton.

The worker, Corey Menafee, is black. He told the New Haven Independent that the dining hall window was “racist” and “very degrading” and that last month, while working an event for the college, he decided to use a broomstick to smash the window.

“I took a broomstick, and it was kind of high, and I climbed up and reached up and broke it,” he told the Independent. “It’s 2016, I shouldn’t have to come to work and see things like that.

“I just said, ‘That thing’s coming down today. I’m tired of it,’” he added. “I put myself in a position to do it, and did it.”

City police arrested Menafee, who now faces a felony charge.

As Iowahawk tweets in response, Welcome to “Yale University, where cafeteria workers ‘resign.’” Given that “he is renowned for his iconoclastic defenestration,” “He will be forwarding his Curriculum Vitae to the Harvard cafeteria department forthwith.”

Heh.
