Colorado Daily News: Another round of diversity workshops — This time there’s even some new opression terminology by Jessica Peck Corry
In what has become an annual rite of passage, University of Colorado students are being subjected this month to a round of diversity workshops preaching that all whites are racist.
The latest round, hosted by the university’s women’s resource center last Friday, was titled “White on White Taskforce: Acting to Dismantle Racism.” According to organizers, it was “designed to give White people tools to dismantle racism on campus.”
At the workshop, students received a handout espousing the “underlying assumptions” of its leaders. Most notably, it read “reverse racism is impossible,” meaning that non-whites cannot be racist. And also of interest, the handout proclaimed that “racism is part of a system of interlocking oppressions, including sexism, heterosexism, economic oppression, and able-body-ism.”
Able-body-ism. That’s one I’ve never heard before.
Some day, universities will return to their true mission: teaching young people to think and communicate well and (maybe) live moral lives.
Instead of becoming educated, students pay tuition to be subjected to Maoist re-education training camps governed by liberals which smear and insult students and their families as “racist” without so much as a shred of evidence. They are told how to view the world, how to view themselves, and how to view human beings: not as individuals graced by God with a universe of qualities, traits and abilities, but as members of a political category to which certain grievances or accusations apply. If you’re a white male, you’re the plague of planet earth, the oppressor, and your (assumed) whole world view must be changed whether you like it or not. If you’re female, black, Hispanic, homosexual, or any other group deemed by liberals to be oppressed (whether factual or not), you’re forever a child and a victim, and you require the protection of self-appointed saviors who know and care nothing about you except your skin color, class, nationality or gender. The presumptive arrogance and self-righteousness of all this should be apparent, but sadly some students will fall for this insanity, naively believing that their elders understand something that they do not
The radicalism and narcissistic rebellion of the 1960s ended over 40 years ago. At our universities, they are alive and well, and our students are worse off because of it.
