Professor: Educators should teach January 6 was a ‘case study in white privilege’Another black academic has chimed in on the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Capitol “insurrection,” opining that the nation’s teachers should make it a “case study in white privilege.”USC’s Shaun Harper, executive director of the campus Race and Equity Center, echoes prominent anti-racism guru Ibram Kendi in that January 6, 2021 was all about the benefits of having white skin.“[I]t is important to remember and acknowledge the role race played,” Harper writes in Education Week. “The overwhelming majority of insurrectionists were white, and most were white men.”Seemingly unaware of information that has come out in the past year (not to mention, government officials wouldn’t get involved in any sort of shenanigans, right?), Harper (left) says he “sat in shock” as the crowd “stormed” and “overtook” the Capitol.“They flooded one of the highest-security buildings in Washington [and] it baffled me that some were able to make it onto the floor of the U.S. Senate.”Also apparently unaware of the reactions to the protests and riots of the summer before, the education and business professor then ponders “What would have happened had these been Black people?”
