In just the latest instance of a taxpayer-funded university singling out white students for privilege-shaming “education sessions,” the University of Wisconsin-Madison hosted a special workshop on Tuesday for the purpose of getting white students to acknowledge and confront their own white privilege.
According to the university website, “The Privilege of Whiteness” workshop was designed for white people to “reflect on and name the ways their privilege impacts their beliefs and behaviors by gaining the skills to identify the historical roots of White privilege and how it manifests today.” Prospective attendees were informed that the workshop was “designed for a White audience,” although “People of color” were still welcome.

And parents are paying upwards of $25,000 a year for this nonsense?
Who needs re-education camps when we have our universities take care of what Russia, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos used to do?
Higher learning? These institutions need to be put on notice.
If you want government funding, you need to get your act together.
This will stop, or your university will.
I’d have a hard time staying in college if that tripe was mandatory.
n what is good. low tuitions co-op families . Now all our universities are public. I think employers will understand. The home schoolers get better grades than those in public school.
Missed part of what I said —start our own colleges on a level with Home-school. Keep our old textbooks if they are any good or shop around for better ones(that is also a racketlow tuitions co-op families . Now all our universities are public. I think employers will understand. The home schoolers get better grades than those in public school.
What if they identify as non-white?
The Marxist infiltration of our dear country is just about complete. This is a nightmare. The very thought of something like this would have been considered laughable and absurd as recently as 30 years ago. Obama’s presidency, followed by the Democratic Party presenting a choice between Marxist 1, Hillary and Marxist 2, Sanders, demonstrate that the Democratic Party bears no resemblance at all to what it was a generation ago. The focus on foreigners, how they get here, how we should welcome them, is ridiculous and dangerous. The country is unravelling and the Democratic Party is pandering to the illegals, so that a big new group will vote Democratic. Where is the moral authority to steal from people and put them at risk for Islamic terrorism?
They can kiss my lily white privileged ass.
I would tell them to fuch off. Not politely.
There really heeds to be a huge class action lawsuit over this mistreatment of white students.
“What if they identify as non-white?
I did that in 1991 to get into a top 10 program I didn’t have the grades for.
Yep, I used Affirmative Action to my advantage.
Heh -- good point. The Rachel Dolezals of the world would likely be exempt.
Sounds like the alumni donors should withdraw some major funding.
Where’s my privilege ?
>> confront their own white privilege.
The purveyors of this nonsense are deranged racists.
And don’t expect this crap to go away on its own. The Angry White Male meme had a run for at least two decades.
The scum must be challenged by every legitimate method available.
Every white student should immediately declare as a racial minority. If challenged, point out that according to the LGBT community you are as you identify yourself. According to PC, there will be no white students. No need for those education sessions.
Load of horse sh*t.
I think these song lyrics might make for an interesting session:
If you ain’t the big daddy, you ain’t nobody.
If you ain’t the big daddy, you ain’t nobody.
Red and yellow, black and tan,
But white is the color of the big boss man.
Will White people ever grow a spine and stand up to this insanity? Doesn’t look like it.
UW-Madistan is just as big of a leftist indoctrination camp as Berkeley.
