Hunter College will offer students an “Abolition of Whiteness” course this fall to discuss how “white supremacy and violence” influence individual identity.
The course fulfills one of four graduation requirements in political science, and its instructor has requested that it be added to the list of courses that satisfy a diversity requirement.
Hunter College will offer students an “Abolition of Whiteness” course this fall to discuss how “white supremacy and violence” influence individual identity.
The course, taught by Women and Gender Studies Professor Jennifer Gaboury, is cross-listed for both her department and the Political Science Department, where it fulfills one of four required courses in the “4 subfields of political science” under the umbrella of POLSC 204: Contemporary Issues in Political Theory.
While the school’s official course catalog discloses very little about what is actually discussed in the course, a flyer advertising a previous iteration of the class from the fall of 2016 describes it as “an overview of whiteness studies in the United States,” specifically “focusing on concepts of consciousness, in/visibility, disavowal, and resentment.”
“We’ll be examining how whiteness—and/or white supremacy and violence—is intertwined with conceptions of gender, race, sexuality, class, body ability, nationality, and age,” the description continues, adding that “a petition for this course is on file with the College Senate so that it fulfills Pluralism and Diversity Parts B, C, or D,” referring to mandatory courses that focus, respectively, on “the historical conditions, perspectives and/or intellectual traditions” of ethnic minorities in the U.S., women and those with non-traditional sexual orientations, and Europeans.
As of press time, “Abolition of Whiteness” does not appear to have been added to the list of courses that satisfy the “Pluralism and Diversity requirement,” though at least 30 other Women and Gender Studies courses are included, including one course on “Feminist Political Theory” and a special topics course on “body politics.”
Notably, students earn 3 academic credits for completing the course. Thus far, 15 students have already registered for the fall course out of a maximum enrollment of 25.
Campus Reform reached out to Gaboury for further elaboration on her course, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
Who hires the grads of this elementary school level collection of student and faculty cretens?
Aryan racial theory was a required course in Nazi Germany, too. The parallels are very close, and very disturbing. Even the subject material is closely similar. So is the underlying violence.
That entire course IS hate speech and racist and the department of education should sue them as such and revoke any and all public funding immediately.
Proxy for “Abolition of Trump.”
Abolish all courses that have even a remote connection to white people; math, literature, science, engineering, etc and see what they’ll learn. If anything but to hate whitey.
They could study real-world examples to hone their technique: Zimbabwe comes to mind as a done deal; South Africa is in the early stages.
Hunter College was once a respected institution - my dad graduated from that college, and was very well educated!
Shameful...
Abolish the English language while you are at it. Since those “racist” Anglo-Saxons created it and used it to subdue the entire world practically.
Good luck communicating among yourselves (with the internet and cell phone technology) too when you do.

That's its highest ranking category. For things like science, math, and other USEFUL categories, it's about halfway down the list. Hmmmm.
All white people should identify as black. Problem solved.
“School of Darkness”, Dr Bella Dodd
This should be required reading for everyone. She was a devout Catholic recruited into Communist Party while at Hunter College. Went on to Columbia w/ Counts & Dewey.
As a Communist, she headed the largest teachers union in the country. Fascinating story of how the Communists would organize & recruit at the national teacher conferences.
She was expelled from the Party in the early 50s and was immediately labeled a “racist”, seriously.
Find her picture. See why she hates herself?
Any white Hunter parents out these with any self respect should kids out immediately and deny them all that “white peoples’ money”. Of course, if you look into it, Hunter started out as a women only college and only stared admitting males in 1946, so left wing indoctrination/sentiment is probably hard wired into their families for generations.
This blatant racist crap againt whites needs to be ended right now.
This hatred is a plague from hell that must be exterminated from society.
50 years ago, the US belonged to anglo-europeans and blacks. That’s it. But it wasn’t enough. So blacks looked for allies to ‘fight’ anglos for even more entitlements and in doing so, the blacks surrendered their franchise. Because they stood against anglo immigration controls in the hopes of gaining allies, now there are less blacks than Mexicans and asians. The homecourt advantage was pissed away out of greed.
Watching the videos of Evergreen college, I had to laugh in surprise that the same blacks who fought so hard for decades to be recognized as ‘black people’ or ‘blacks’ actually agreed to being called ‘colored people’ - because the same hispanics/south americans/asians they coopted into their ‘battle’ prefer that term. The years of fighting against the designation of ‘colored’ evaporated in a single second. In less than a decade blacks find themselves, once again, at the bottom of a different ladder - the ladder of ‘colored people’. Only now, instead of just anglos at the top, there are a lot more rungs above them.
The co-owners of the US, in the sweep of a second hand, became just another minority. And while some may not understand yet, their struggles now, and in the future, will be against the same ‘colored people’ they thought allies, but who are, and will be, channeling more and more resources to those who’s battle cry is, ‘for us everything, for you nothing’.
The ‘more’ that blacks weaponized in the name of equality, has become ‘less’ from their very own actions. Teaching hatred towards anglos for their new lot, attacking anglo culture for the world being snatched from their fingertips, is just an excuse - a smokescreen - for their own shortsightedness - brought on by greed.
Father: Son, do you actually expect me to pay for this?
