It’s amazing that some schools are still doing this. They don’t seem to understand that voters rejected this stuff in November.
The College Fix reports:
Indiana U. students required to ‘reflect’ on how their privilege oppresses ‘subordinate groups’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.”The course purports to “cover theories and models that enhance understanding of our diverse society.”According to The Washington Free Beacon, students in the class were given a chart (below) with three columns: “Examples of Manifestation of Social Oppression,” along with examples of “dominant” and “subordinate” groups.Included in the first column are “heterosexism,” “racism,” “sexism,” and “religious oppression.” As such, if one is a straight, white, Christian male, that would be a quartet of privilege.This final assignment of the course, worth 26 percent of a student’s final grade, mandated a “reflection” on the supposed fact that “each student has at least one identity group that gives them power over their peers and another that leads to their oppression.”“Self-awareness of identity, as well as experiences of privilege and oppression, serve as the basis for understanding the complexity of identity and how you can address issues of oppression,” the instructions read.A “submission form” was provided by instructor Colleen Rose on which students could “share concerns” they had about the assignment.One student in the class related how they had to “make something up” to complete the assignment.“I’m being punished through an assignment for my identity as a person, and that’s just crazy,” the student told the Free Beacon. “I had to make something up and I don’t enjoy doing that.”
