University Event Aims to Combat ‘Christian Privilege’
The College Fix ^ | 4/3/18 | Michael Jones

Posted on 04/06/2018 6:07:12 PM PDT by marshmallow

George Washington University diversity workshop to be held four days after Easter

Just four days after Easter, George Washington University will host a training session for students and faculty that teaches that Christians — especially white ones — “receive unmerited perks from institutions and systems all across our country.”

The April 5 diversity workshop is titled “Christian Privilege: But Our Founding Fathers Were All Christian, Right?!”

Hosted by the university’s Multicultural Student Services Center, the event will teach that Christians enjoy a privileged, easier life than their non-Christian counterparts, and that Christians possess “built-in advantages” today, according to its online description.

The workshop will also discuss how Christians receive “unmerited perks from institutions and systems all across our country.”

The “Christian Privilege” workshop is one of 15 “free training opportunities” offered through the center to “equip students and staff with the necessary skills to promote diversity and inclusion in the different environments,” according to its website.

Other workshops offered through the center focus on “heteroesexual privilege,” “cisgender privilege,” “abled-bodied privilege,” “socio-economic privilege,” “unconscious bias,” and more.

Efforts by The College Fix to reach a campus spokesperson, the multicultural center and the host of the Christian privilege workshop were to no avail Monday afternoon.

Then you’ll see some “privilege” in action.

NOW will people understand that these assertions of “privilege” are hate speech?

What, no talk about “Muslim privilege” wherever muslims rule and impose the dhimmi tax?

Yes, Christians possess built-in advantages. These advantages are faith, hope, and the assurance of eternal life with Christ in heaven.

Christians are supposed to be ashamed of their advantages? No, Christians are thankful to God for their advantages!

No, they will claim these things - they will not “teach” them.

Jesus’ disciples really enjoyed their “Christian privilege” didn’t they?

>http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/07/diversity-destruction.html<

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one’s own family. 

Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.

Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse. 
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse. 
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday’s Diversity is today’s intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.

Certain patterns of being and living are much more likely to result in happy, stable, successful and well adjusted individuals and families.

Sincerely following the teachings of Jesus Christ tends to lead to such patterns of living.

So, those who know, understand and sincerely apply those patterns of being and living are much more likely to end up being “privileged” in terms of receiving the advantages which naturally flow to honest, sincere adherents to a Christ-like approach to living and interacting with others.

However, it should be noted that following such a course is still entirely optional and discretionary. Those who exercise their agency to reject such a course are still responsible for their resulting outcomes and lack of “privilege.” Adherents can’t be blamed for the consequences of non-adherents’ choices.

Christians are privileged by colleges? Yup, that would sure explain the well-known Christian commitment of the modern professoriate.

Seriously? Christians and white males are the only 2 groups it is safe to bash and discriminate against in today’s culture. This is just one more example of that.

It’s true. Christians have the privilege of getting outside help from the Lord of the Universe. I couldn’t count the times I’ve been up a certain creek, prayed, and had a paddle fall into the canoe...

But that privilege is available to all who believe.

Sounds like a good conference for witnessing to!

“George Washington University diversity workshop to be held four days after Easter”

More hornswoggle. It will never be reported that nobody showed up for their five minutes of communist hate.

It's high time that “University Privilege” be addressed. Tuition at universities has gone up at multiple times the rate of inflation and has skyrocketed since 1980. Many universities have endowments with 100s of millions of dollars, and some have endowments of more than 30 billion dollars.

Despite this, many are ‘not for profit’, and have enormous tax exemptions. On top of that, a huge chunk of university funding comes from federal research grants - out of taxpayer's pockets. This includes the pockets of a large number of ‘privileged white males and Christians’ who are selected against at many of these universities, while they work long hours and try to save money so that they can send their children to one of these universities.

These ‘not for profit’ institutions not only have tremendous endowments, but are administrator top-heavy with more Deans, Vice Deans, Assistant Deans, Chancellors etc. than they could possibly need - and at many institutions these individuals are making high six figure and 7 figure salaries, along with other perks and benefits.

Look at the faculty and administrators of most major universities in the US, and compare the backgrounds of the faculty (e.g. race, ethnicity, country of origin, religion) with the percentages of each group in the US population. You will find that at a very significant number of institutions the representation of Christians and white males is a significantly lower percentage than their number/percentage in the US population. Is that “privilege”?

Yet, these same institutions who take the taxpayer money and the tuition money paid by hard-working parents dare to indict whole segments of our society as ‘privileged’. This is beyond disgusting.

Time for ‘Reform of Higher Education’. Universities tend to overwhelmingly support ‘reform’ of everything else in society. It's now their turn to be reformed.

And the liberal, Christ hating left does not see the irony.

They complain about *Christian privilege* and don’t stop to think that this is the kind of *privilege* that Christians are subject to around the world throughout time, at the hands of folks JUST LIKE THEM.

So their actions are what those of us called Christi are privileged to endure.
