University drops 'whites are racist' plan

University of Delaware officials, who just a day earlier had defended a residence hall series of teachings on which WND reported that told students "all whites are racists," today announced the program is being stopped.

"While I believe that recent press accounts misrepresent the purpose of the residential life program at the University of Delaware, there are questions about its practices that must be addressed and there are reasons for concern that the actual purpose is not being fulfilled. It is not feasible to evaluate these issues without a full and broad-based review," said a statement posted on the school's website by President Patrick Harker.

"Upon the recommendation of Vice President for Student Life Michael Gilbert and Director of Residence Life Kathleen Kerr, I have directed that the program be stopped immediately. No further activities under the current framework will be conducted," he said.

His statement said the school "strives for an environment in which all people feel welcome to learn, and which supports intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, free inquiry and respect for the views and values of an increasingly diverse population. The University is committed to the education of students as citizens, scholars and professionals and their preparation to contribute creatively and with integrity to a global society. The purpose of the residence life educational program is to support these commitments."

Harker said Gilbert will work with the University Faculty Senate and others "to determine the proper means by which residence life programs may support the intellectual, cultural and ethical development of our students."

One student on Fox News described the class. They sat on the floor in the middle of the room. A bowl of marshmallows was in the middle of the group. A student would take a marshmallow for each minority/female criteria met as dictated by the instructor. Eventually only white male students did not have any marshamallows and were made to feel guilty.

I’m thankful the college I go to has that sort of nonsense kept to a relative minimum. There are so many people involved with ROTC here that if they tried that garbage, there would be an uproar and the military would threaten to withdraw, taking its large amount of money with it.

I suppose I wouldn’t be able to play this game very well. I despise marshmallows in every rendition.

That marshmallow thing is pretty hilarious. Seems like a good metaphor for the kind of brains you end up with after a stint in a college like that.
Not much brains, either, in a guy who’d attend a college where he’s automatically branded a racist when he’s caucasian.

But they had good intentions...

Give it time and the plan will be back under the cover of dark.

Sure, they'll just try to keep it quiet this time. These academics are so isolated from reality that they're surprised when anyone notices and protests their insanity.

Thank God I was out of school by the mid 60s, and that my
25 year old daughter was smart enough that she did not need to go.

They must want masochistic white guys at U. of Delaware. “Yes, Mom, I want to go to the University of Delaware and there’s nothing you can do about it . . . No, stop crying . . . You didn’t do anything wrong to raise a panty wearing masochist . . . It’s just who I am.”

Well, that didn’t take long. The heat must have reached white-hot intensity fast yesterday.

Who started up a business and charged 1/2 marshmellow for his product. And soon had many more marshmellows than anyone else in the class.

Then a female student with very large cankles and a wicked laugh said, "If When the rest of the class elects me President, I am going to take your marshmellows for the common good."

The student who started his business then raised the price of his product to the other students to two marshmellows and offered credit to the others at prime plus 20% for using his company's credit card.

Then the rest of the class refinanced their homes to wipe out their credit card debt and buy more of product from the business student.

I wouldn’t - after everybody got their marshmallows the guys without would still be themselves.

Life sucks to have a marshmallow in your hand. :-)

In other words, now that their blatantly insane socialist brainwashing policies have gotten exposed, they’re going to have to do it on the sly.
