We talked about this on the podcast today, but I thought it was outrageous enough to warrant its own post. At the University of Delaware, over 7,000 students are being “treated” for “any incorrect attitudes regarding class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality they might hold upon entering the school.”
The organization cited excerpts from the university’s Office of Residence Life Diversity Education Training documents, including the statement:
“A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. ‘The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination….’”
The education program also notes that “reverse racism” is “a term created and used by white people to deny their white privilege.” And “a non-racist” is called “a non-term,” because, the program explains, “The term was created by whites to deny responsibility for systemic racism, to maintain an aura of innocence in the face of racial oppression, and to shift the responsibility for that oppression from whites to people of color (called ‘blaming the victim’).”
All whites are racist. Isn’t that a bit…I don’t know…racist?
The University of Delaware is a state school that receives federal funding. Your tax dollars are paying for this brainwashing.
Here’s a number to call: (302) 831-2792. From the main page of the school’s website.
