About a dozen protesters, including members of Black Lives Matter, showed up at a Thursday night meeting of county legislators to discuss former Essex County College adjunct professor Lisa Durden, who also attended. COLLEGE PROFESSOR FIRED FOLLOWING REMARKS ON 'TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT'Durden presented the board with a petition of 2,500 signatures supporting her, NJ.com reported. The school has defended its decision to fire Durden, with college President Anthony Munroe saying "racism cannot be fought with more racism." Essex County College fired Durden in June after she made the remarks on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," defending a Black Lives Matter event that only invited black people. Durden said, "You white people are angry because you couldn't use your white privilege card to get invited to the Black Lives Matter's all-black Memorial Day Celebration."
