It was from the Snopes article. The university obviously noted the stir on social networks, and published the professor's statement.
Of course it's possible that Snopes made up that quote, but to believe that would require buying into the anti-Snopes campaign, which I don't.
The professor who taught the class says that this did not happen. Do you disbelieve Snopes just because you want to make a political point? You're damaging your own credibility.
From the professor:
This is an introductory cultural anthropology class of 390 students. The topic of the day was concepts of race, and I mentioned the Black Lives Matter movement as an example of how race is an important issue in the U.S. But the main point of the discussion was the evidence for modern human origins in Africa based on mitochondrial DNA analysis. I did not see a large-scale walkout of students, I did not hear any chants of "Black Lives Matter" and there was no further class-wide discussion of the topic. In fact, no students approached me after class to talk about this. With 390 students it is possible that someone did not like the topic and walked out, but with that size class it is common for students to walk in and out of class and I do not question their reasons for doing so. Consequently, I have no basis on which to determine a student's reasons for leaving class.
Some of us need cargo room for more than kids. I'm a bass player and live in a rural area, and I'm always carting around large speaker cabinets, landscaping supplies, etc. My '94 Toyota station wagon gets 34 MPG and carries it all. There's no current car, conventional, hybrid, or EV, that can match it for cargo room and fuel efficiency that I'm aware of.
The development of solar power is welcome and necessary, but these gains are measured in gigawatts, a far cry from the 30 or so terawatts the world will need. We need more than solar power to solve the world's energy problems in the limited time left before we make the planet uninhabitable.
It must be tough to keep up with every variety of "new" media. I can't help but feel, however, that those who most value your opinions will seek you out, even if that's via something as retro as a web site.
The fact that this location database was explicitly backed up to the user's computer, and explicitly migrated to any new device that the user might upgrade to, says that this was no software bug or work file inadvertently left lying around. Apple clearly intended for this location log to follow the user, from device to device, perhaps for a very long time.

This cartoon certainly speaks the truth. However, I have to say, it's not particularly subtle, funny, or well drawn. Simply polemic.
Tsk-tsk, spelling, spelling. It's called "Doggerel."
