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….'"

Your list needs a little updating.
Unfortunately Sherrod Brown is now the Junior Senator from Ohio.

The only indoctrination a university should enforce on its students is observance of fire regulations.
...”ideological reeducation that is referred to in the university’s own materials as a “treatment” for students’ incorrect attitudes and beliefs.”
Who determines correctness? Not one’s self, not one’s family values, not even one’s friends and neighbors influence. No, radical Socialist Educrats who are creating a Elitist Utopia for themselves with Herself the First as Queen for Life. And this is all paid for with your and my tax dollars.
We should all sue, but it won’t do any good.
What these moron educators don’t realize is that by doing what they are doing, they are ensuring that future racists are being created. Americans by nature are contrarian to a certain degree, and the surest way to get them to do or be one way is to try and make the choice for them. On their own, most Americans will do the right thing by their own choice, but take that option away, and you are guaranteed a result opposite to the one desired.

Whole New World Training
The following articles were recommended as suggested readings by Dr. Shakti Butler during the training she provided for staff and Whole New World facilitators during her training sessions on August 15 and 16, 2007.
Confessions of Donna
Culture of White Supremacy
Detour Spotting for White Anti Racists
Peggy McIntosh
White Racial Identity
Those last 5 are links that take you to MS Word and Adobe Acrobat docs that include some really interesting statements. The Culture of White Supremacy document in particular is pretty enlightening as to the mindset of these diversity idiots, with section headings like “White Culture is a Deadly Brew”.

This is penny ante stuff by Ithaca standards. In Ithaca, they run this type of program for the elementary school students AND ACTUALLY GRADE THEM ON IT. Seriously.

A Message to the University of Delaware Community
Nov. 1, 2007
The University of Delaware strives for an environment in which all people feel welcome to learn, and which supports intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, free inquiry and respect for the views and values of an increasingly diverse population. The University is committed to the education of students as citizens, scholars and professionals and their preparation to contribute creatively and with integrity to a global society. The purpose of the residence life educational program is to support these commitments.
While I believe that recent press accounts misrepresent the purpose of the residential life program at the University of Delaware, there are questions about its practices that must be addressed and there are reasons for concern that the actual purpose is not being fulfilled. It is not feasible to evaluate these issues without a full and broad-based review.
Upon the recommendation of Vice President for Student Life Michael Gilbert and Director of Residence Life Kathleen Kerr, I have directed that the program be stopped immediately. No further activities under the current framework will be conducted.
Vice President Gilbert will work with the University Faculty Senate and others to determine the proper means by which residence life programs may support the intellectual, cultural and ethical development of our students.

President
