What shocked me was how easily the professor acquiesced to Keisha, *letting her get away with it for a month*, and how easily she corralled the others...who were different when she wasn't around, and who got cheated out of a great seminar because of Keisha's malignant narcissism. He needs to grow a pair. He needed to do what John McWhorter advised: Tell her to knock it off, he's running the class, and if she doesn't like it she could leave. He should have approached Telluride sooner too.
One "anti-blackness" obsessed child should not be allowed to ruin a very special group because she thinks she already knows it all. I wonder why she even bothered applying fir it unless she was hoping for nonstop "anti-blackness" drivel (taken to her extremes).

Yep, as I said, this cowardliness is 90% of the problem. It's impossible to appease narcissists while playing their game. Set the ground rules early and give them the choice to leave if they don't like them.
Too many of these teachers don't understand the difference between being reasonable and letting students treat them like a doormat. And, of course, after the students have gone used to wielding power in this way, they come to expect it.
