<p>The California professor under investigation by his woke college for sharing <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/jeremys-chocolate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy&#8217;s Chocolate bars</a> at a campus event last month said the treats were wildly popular with students even if administrators were miffed.</p>
<p>David Richardson, a tenured, 33-year history professor at Madera Community College near Fresno, told The Daily Wire he is now being investigated by the school after a trans-identifying staff member complained about him sharing the chocolate bars along with other snacks. Wrappers on the bars, sold by The Daily Wire, say &#8220;He/Him&#8221; for chocolate with &#8220;nuts&#8221; and &#8220;She/Her&#8221; for &#8220;nutless&#8221; version of the chocolate, a reference to the two genders. Handing them out apparently angered the staffer because the candy bars reinforce the long-scientifically accepted principle that gender is binary.</p>

<p>&#8220;Word evidently spread and they became the most popular item on the table,&#8221; Richardson told The Daily Wire. &#8220;The staff member returned and demanded to know what these candy bars meant.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Daily Wire started Jeremy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/collections/jeremys-chocolate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chocolate</a> in response to a Hershey&#8217;s ad featuring a trans-identifying man for International Women&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://youtu.be/h9mXHbBGeRk?t=1281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HEAR MICHAEL KNOWLES&#8217; INTERVIEW WITH PROFESSOR DDAVID RICHARDSON</a></strong></p>
<p>Richardson said that on Saturday, April 29, he brought the chocolate bars to hand out at the history department&#8217;s table at an April 29 open house event at the Fresno-area campus that showcased the school&#8217;s programs. The longtime professor said he has provided food and drinks at his own expense for decades at the school&#8217;s special events. He brought the <a href="https://www.jeremysrazors.com/products/jeremys-chocolate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeremy&#8217;s Chocolate bars</a> along with other treats including candy, chips, and popcorn.</p>
<div id="attachment_549643" style="width: 312px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-549643" class=" wp-image-549643" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/unnamed-225x300.jpg" alt="David Richardson at Universal Studios posing with a Dr. Suess &quot;Mulberry St&quot; signpost (Courtesy of David Richardson)" width="302" height="403" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/unnamed-225x300.jpg 225w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/unnamed-432x576.jpg 432w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/unnamed.jpg 480w" sizes=" (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px" /><p id="caption-attachment-549643" class="wp-caption-text">David Richardson at Universal Studios posing with a Dr. Suess &#8220;Mulberry St&#8221; signpost (Courtesy of David Richardson)</p></div>
<p>The professor said he heard nothing more about the incident until Tuesday night, when a uniformed district police officer showed up at his front door. The officer handed him a letter informing him that he had been placed on paid administrative leave while an investigation into his creation of a &#8220;hostile&#8221; work environment was conducted. Richardson turned in his keys on Wednesday and lost access to all district systems, including his email account, he said.</p>
<p>Richardson is also now banned from &#8220;non-public&#8221; areas in the district.</p>
<p>&#8220;My students are left without an instructor two weeks before the end of the semester and I am no longer allowed on campus without the express permission of the college president because Jeremy&#8217;s Chocolate creates a hostile work environment,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Madera Community College declined to comment, saying it was a &#8220;personnel matter.&#8221;</p>
<p>Richardson, who is gay and conservative, has been fighting the gender ideology &#8220;infiltrating our campus&#8221; for several years, he said. Richardson sued the community college district in September, alleging the school punished him for &#8220;mocking&#8221; gender pronouns, according to the complaint, which his attorney shared with The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Richardson displayed &#8220;Do, Re, Mi&#8221; as his pronouns on his screen during a mandatory faculty Zoom call led by a trans-identifying man, the lawsuit says. The trans-identifying man, chemistry professor Jamie MacArthur, PhD, emailed him later, telling Richardson his &#8220;joke&#8221; was &#8220;extremely offensive&#8221; and &#8220;harmful to trans people.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Although it was painful for me not to say anything in that moment, I chose to put the good of the community ahead of my own well-being,&#8221; MacArthur wrote, according to the lawsuit.</p>
<p>Richardson was found guilty by the school of &#8220;intentionally misusing pronouns in a mocking manner&#8221; and &#8220;retaliating&#8221; against MacArthur, the complaint shows. He was ordered to complete six hours of DEI training as well as write a response describing how he can &#8220;create a more inclusive environment that does not center on homophobia or transphobia.&#8221;</p>
<p>Richardson, 59, said his career at Madera is &#8220;my life&#8217;s work.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My dreams were fairly humble,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I thought I might have a nice, productive career, I&#8217;d educate students, maybe inspire a love for history in a few of them, and then &#8230; just fade away.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now though, he wants an apology from the district, he says.</p>
<p>&#8220;It feels like a betrayal,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want anyone to take a bullet for me. I&#8217;ll take my own bullets. But yeah, it&#8217;s hard.&#8221;</p>
