Apparently anthropology is a difficult subject for some white students in Texas to stomach.
The International Business Times is reporting that earlier this week, a group of students at Texas State University were so upset with being told the fact that all modern humans are descended from Africa, that they walked out of the class.
That’s right. These angry, insulated, white kids couldn’t deal with the fact that we are all related to a hominid species that originated in what is now modern Africa. And with this newfound knowledge that I’m sure contradicted what they were taught in Sunday school, they stormed out.
According to the International Business Times piece:
“As they left, other students in the class began chanting, ‘Black lives matter,’ in recognition of the social justice movement protesting racial injustice across the United States. Other students who stayed in the classroom told the professor they were offended and began arguing with their classmates.”
One twitter user who is allegedly a student of the class, captured the following picture:

Here is world famous scientist Dr. Richard Dawkins explaining the fact that we are all indeed African apes:
