37 years ago. In a picture with dozens of others. No intent, just a part of their school and classroom/group pictures.

But nope, 37 years later and here we are. Someone searched her out and found the picture. And now the students, yes the students are making demands that she be fired! WTF???

Wake Forest Students Demand Dean Be Fired For Standing In Front Of Confederate Flag In 1982

It seems the college yearbook photo of Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) in blackface or a KKK robe may have sparked a new trend.

At Wake Forest University (WFU) in Winston-Salem, NC, a yearbook photo of Martha Allman, the school’s dean of admissions, surfaced showing her standing in front of a confederate flag hung on campus in 1982. Allman sent an apology to students, faculty, and staff after the photo was discovered via an email obtained by the Daily Wire.

“That flag was a symbol of pain and racism then just as it is now, and I understand that much differently in 2019 than I did in 1982,” Allman wrote.

“Thirty-seven years of life, experiences, relationships and education have made a difference in my way of understanding the world and my ability to empathize with those who are different from me,” she continued. “Throughout my career in admissions, one of my goals has been to create a more diverse and inclusive Wake Forest. It is my hope that I will be judged by my professional dedication to Wake Forest, my faith and civic involvement, and by my future work with the Wake Forest community.”

WFU President Nathan Hatch accepted Allman’s apology after a campus forum was held regarding the 30-year-old photo.

At the forum, according to the conservative Intercollegiate Studies Institute’s Collegiate Network, “Leftist students demanded not only Allman’s termination, but also for increased diversity of students and professors, eliminating Kappa Alpha fraternity, increased space for African-American student groups, and more strict rules to punish students for hate speech.”

Further, WFU students on Twitter “called the Dean of Admissions a white supremacist and a racist ally, accused the University of ‘institutional trauma that disproportionately burdens Black students,’ and that Wake Forest should be ‘safe and comfortable,” ISI wrote in a press release.
