Columbia University to Hold Five Week ‘Deconstructing Whiteness’ Lecture Series For White Students
Gateway Pundit ^ | 08/03/2020 | Cassandra Fairbanks

Columbia University is holding a five week long series of lectures for white students on “deconstructing whiteness.”

The workshop series is titled “From Ally to Accomplice at Columbia: Working Group for Examining and Deconstructing Whiteness to Mitigate Racial Trauma.”

According to the Facebook page for the series, the aim is “for white-identified students to engage in exploration of their white identities and build community and accountability around deconstructing whiteness and white privilege to facilitate the development of an anti-racist lens.”

The description adds that it “will not be a support group for white students. Nor will it be comfortable or easy.”

Campus Reform reports that the sessions, which will be held over Zoom, had filled up following “overwhelming interest!”

“There are numerous ways to address the issue of structural racism. This program is intended to engage students from a public health perspective,” Columbia Health Associate Director of Communications Gayle Gatchalian told Campus Reform. “The intent is to provide an alternative angle by which to tackle the issue.”

I told one census worker that I identify as Ferengi. I then tried to introduce her to the Rules of Acquisition.

I’m half white. Could I skip 50% of the indoctrination?

AH, but the name of the university is that of a “racist oppressor!”

That’s the kind of question that makes the fascist liberal elite very uncomfortable. I suppose they’ll eventually adopt some version of the Nazi racial laws.

Did you also identify as the Grand Nagus? Because I think that would have been awesome.

And I can just hear that census worker later on talking to a colleague. “So what if you met Cher’s second cousin. I met the Grand Nagus!”

Why does this proposal strike me as a beginning of REEDUCATION, group criticism meetings and DENOUNCEMENTS. See ‘The Cultural Revolution’ (Peoples’s Republic of China) for definitions and references.

Those who denounce history will not enjoy the results.

Nothing you can do?

Au contraire!

Columbia has a multi billion dollar endowment...

Tax it.

I can’t think of a time I’ve ever been happier *not* to be associated with a University.

Apparently Columbia is cool with one certain variety of bigotry.

Oh yeah, you can defund them easily.

(1) Abolish government insured student loans going to their students.
(2) No government grants go to the university faculty or staff.
(3) Take them to court for violating white people’s civil rights with their anti-white bigotry.

That took me five seconds.

I am sure other Freepers could add to the list.

It would be more on point to produce ‘Constructing Blackness,
Empowering Blacks With Tools to Succeed’. I won’t be holding my breath waiting for it.
