“staunch white resistance to, and even revenge against, racial equity”
Interesting. That’s the exact word far left CNN commentator Van Jones used to describe the 2016 election.

Brown course claims ‘whitelash’ led to Trump’s election
Brown University will soon offer a course on the “whitelash” that supposedly caused President Trump’s election as part of its pre-college program for high-schoolers.
The course, titled “Resistance to Racial Equality from the Civil War to Donald Trump,” will examine the racial elements of Trump’s election, which it calls a “whitelash,” meaning a “staunch white resistance to, and even revenge against, racial equity.”
It is one of hundreds of courses offered during Brown’s annual “Summer@Brown” program, which offers prospective students a three-week on-campus experience at the price of $5,966 for residential students and $4,214 for commuters.
“Without the pressure of formal grades and credit, students can immerse themselves in subjects they choose and experience the satisfying challenges of college-level academics,” a description for the program explains, inviting students to choose from a selection of at least 220 courses, including one on “fake news,” and another on Critical Race Theory.
“After the two-term presidency of Barack Obama–the first black man to hold that office–was the election of Donald Trump a surprise? To many people, it was,” the course description begins, saying that for those who “believe in this story of consistent racial progress, Trump’s successful campaign, fueled as it was by white nationalist supporters, was very surprising.”
The description goes on to suggest, however, that Trump’s presidency “is not an outlier, but rather emblematic of a deeply rooted tradition of American politics,” noting that “some observers have called this brand of American politics ‘whitelash.’”

No grades and no credit, but it costs over $4,000.? With a plethora of real, quality courseware available for free or close-to free, how stupid does one have to be to pay $thousands for a no-credit course? And what does it signal about the idiot who figured it was a good deal?
Is this a clever reverse-IQ test?
Indoctrination at its best. We will be facing a scary world in the years to come.
