In a new campaign to reportedly raise awareness of "privilege," the University of San Francisco is handing out fliers telling anyone who is white, straight, Christian, or "able-bodied" that they are privileged and need to "check their privilege." The campaign was put together by three professors at the college and Student Life.
The fliers also claim that if you believe that your gender identity and biological gender are the same (that is, if you consider yourself a male and you are biologically male), you are privileged as well.
No matter who you are, no matter what your situation in life, if you have just one of these attributes, you are privileged and need to "check" yourself. So if you are a poor, orphaned Caucasian man who is homeless, you are privileged because of your race. If you are an African American baptist who has struggled through poverty to go to college, you are privileged because you are a Christian and need to realize you actually have it pretty easy.
You can see the fliers below:

I’d guess a fair number of white Christian heterosexual fathers send their children to this Catholic school.
Oops! Thanks for the correction.
You know, the great thing about “heteropatriarchal capitalism” is that it’s being used by some bone-head leftists to defend the practice of giving sham courses to athletes at Chapel Hill to keep their grades high enough to keep them on the field.
And what I love about that leftist “defense” is:
a) the athletes themselves probably haven’t the foggiest idea what “heteropatriarchal capitalism” even means, and
b) the athletes themselves are actually most definitely in favor of it!
Oops... that’s UNC
Down with privilege privilege! Take our money back from the greedy hoarders!

Definition
A cisgender person is someone who identifies as they gender/sex they were assigned at birth. For example, your birth certificate says female, and you identify as a female woman.
(handing out fliers telling anyone who is white, straight, Christian, or “able-bodied” that they are privileged and need to “check their privilege.” )
Sorry! My privilege is God given and I intend to live up to it!
This is the kind of rotgut “higher learning” that students bury themselves in debt for.
I wonder how many of the white, male, Christian, straights are actually left in this kind of school?
That is the irony. (And boy, do hipsters love irony.) I am guessing that the majority of the student body must be either gay, (liberal) female, or minority. I think parochial colleges are the way to go, at least for undergraduates.
I checked mine and its doing fine, thanks for asking! How’s yours by the way?
Check my privilege huh? Mkay..
1. White
2. Christian
3. able-bodied
4. of sound mind
Yep I’m still me, and while I wouldn’t use the word “privileged” I’m not opposed to “grateful.” :)
Actually, what they are saying is that I have a strong family.
When a progressive uses the word “privilege”, a middle class person should reply with ‘family’.
Blacks have allowed their ‘family’ structure to decline. It can be rebuilt with just one generation of father/mother dedication to their own children.
Come on, get with the times...”racism” and “white privelige” were so six years ago. You won your election on it now you’ve beat it to death and it’s nothing but laughable.
Cisgender. Don’t you love how these people make up words?
Cisgender and cissexual (often abbreviated to simply cis) describe related types of gender identity where individuals’ experiences of their own gender match the sex they were assigned at birth

The sex we were assigned at birth. SMH
I’m just glad I went through college before people completely lost their minds.
But you can help being a cisgender! Shame on you!
#HOMOFASCISM
So much for the separation of Church and State. They are targeting Christians in this campaign of HATE.
Good. Pass it on. Send it to the university.
