“Anti-Racism, Transformation, and Healing through the Humanities”
It’s amazing that some schools are still pushing this after the election and everything that’s unfolded in recent months.

DePaul hosts ‘anti-racism’ summer program for liberal arts freshmen
Incoming freshmen at DePaul University’s College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences are participating in an “anti-racism” humanities program this week.
This year’s iteration of the Chicago school’s “Summer Institute on the Humanities of Healing and Restoration” is titled, “Anti-Racism, Transformation, and Healing through the Humanities.”
The program for incoming students is taking place at the university from July 13-18.
“The Summer Institute is a one-week, in-person program open to all LAS students who are interested in exploring the humanities as a source of justice and healing for communities historically shaped by, and continuously facing, racism, violence, and dispossession,” a description reads.
Students will study the topic of “anti-racism” from numerous angles over the course of the week.
“During the Institute, you will join a dynamic group of faculty, staff, current DePaul students, and special guests to explore the transformative and healing power of art, photography, literature, history, religion, community gardens, botanicas, and apothecaries for people of color and other marginalized individuals,” the description page continues.
The university’s Social Transformation Research Collaborative, which is organizing the program, “supports research in the humanities as a source of justice and healing for communities historically shaped by, and continuously facing, racism, violence, and dispossession.”
Earlier this year, the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre and Dance sponsored an event called “The Arts and Anti-Racism.”
Event organizers wanted to produce a “deep discussion about race and racism on our campuses, and inspiration for making meaningful efforts to advance Anti-Racism at UM in celebration of the International Day for the Elimination of Racism.”

It doesn’t seem to be mandatory, just available.
Hopefully, only the people who want to be propagandized will be.
shorten the title of the programs to
black people come get your revenge
Actually, that might be appropriate. Almost all crime in black communities are committed by other blacks.
DePaul was given a career award by the Foundation for individual rights in education (FIRE) for its suppression of free speech. DePaul’s response tp 9/11m was to explain that it was the fault of US foreign policy and the sending of three emails to the whole university warning that Islamophobia would not be tolerated.
