    You have choices, I don't believe you would have to walk out because I don't believe you would choose to go there in the first place.

    The professor is oppressing the students in this case. I would like the professor to write a paper on his oppression of his students.

    Nah, didn't see that on the curriculum.

    Students enrolled in the Indiana University course “Understanding Diversity in a Pluralistic Society” were required to “reflect” on how their (alleged) privilege “oppresses” so-called “subordinate groups.”

    So if they enrol they're required to complete the coursework?

    Black Studies Dept. at Northwestern U. Offering Course on ‘Unsettling Whiteness'

    Any University teaching racism like this should be self funded. I support no Federal student aid for students attending universities that promote racism.

    t remains the case that whiteness as it shapes and affects both white populations and non-white populations is routinely exempted from analysis”

    'A more extended description appears on another page of Northwestern’s website. That description says that “whiteness” can be broadly understood as maintaining the current state of affairs.'

    “Whiteness, whether it occurs under the heading of white supremacy, white privilege or white authority is the meaning that defines just the way things are, a normal state of affairs, like in the phrase, ‘getting back to normal,’” the description says.

    “the cultural institution of the White Gaze,” and “the regime of White Democracy.”

    The White Gaze?
