NEWARK, Del., October 30, 2007—The University of Delaware subjects students in its residence halls to a shocking program of ideological reeducation that is referred to in the university’s own materials as a “treatment” for students’ incorrect attitudes and beliefs.
The organization cited excerpts from the university's Office of Residence Life Diversity Education Training documents, including the statement:
"A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. 'The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination….'"

I see that the free expression of ideas and personal opinion is still alive in academia.
Good Lord, they need to ask the Vietnamese for advise on setting up “reeducation” camps. Dangerous times in America.
Harker just took over. He came from Penn. I’m not sure a state school is quite ready for Ivy League levels of white guilt. Many students at Delaware are public school products who have experienced the wonders of diversity first hand, and won’t be fooled by some RA.
WTF?
This “school” should be shut down.
while that isn’t likely, the Dean and all the faculty that supports this racist crap should be fired immediately.
Wow. Just, wow.
Liberals doing what they claim conservatives are doing? Projectionism at it's finest...
Hitler would be envious...
Can this be happening in the United States? What comes next - any student who declines to become retrained hauled off to the gulag?
This is chilling - This school actually needs to be closed down and the powers that be all expelled.
I still can’t really grasp this - the cold wind of Socialism/Communism is grasping this country.
Where are the parents/alumni on this? Have they gotten so far that the students -= who are being, it sounds to me, threatened on a one-on-one basis - so cowed that they don't dare rise up?
In the meantime, we should all email this head thug: "Sieg Heil!"
‘The term applies to all white people”
Welcome to Get Whitey U
HIDEOUS TRAITOROUS AND STUPID.
Can this be happening in the United States?
Are you kidding? Look on the FIRE website. There are many examples.
Re-education camps. I wonder if the next step is posting a sign at the entrance that says something like “Work Makes you free”
I’ve been supporting these guys at FIRE for a while now. They are on the forefront.
“I’ve been supporting these guys at FIRE for a while now. They are on the forefront.”
Me too. They’re great.
Hmmm...
Now it seems to me that I’ve heard tell somewhere before of “reeducation camps”...was it for all those American POWs in North Korea? Maybe all those RVN Vietnamese after the Americans left Saigon in such a hurry...Now let me think...???
ping for later reading
Probably be “Diversity makes you free.” Wonder how the social liberals here will defend this one.
