Well, if there was anyone who knows about "privilege" it would be fitting to see it at the kennedy school now wouldn't it. Sadly, some of these young skulls full of mush are well on their way to believing that they are indeed "privileged". Uh, if that's the case then there really aren't any homeless or jobless white people out there. Right? The ones that are visible must be "plants" set out there by, oh, probably the Koch brothers. Or something. I just checked my "privilege" and yup, I had the "privilege" of bustin' my butt with the same company for 36+ years.

What is really needed is a "Check Your Professional Victim Status 101."

It’s not white privilege, it’s just me being better than you.

Sounds like you are all pretty privileged if you’re going to Harvard, no? Are you privileged to still have your common sense is the question. I think a lot of these kids would score pretty low in that regard.

If my son wants to go to Harvard, he can do it on his own nickel. I wouldn’t admit that any issue of mine went to that shithole.

There is a certain irony that Checking Your Privilege 101 is at the Kennedy School of Government, named after one of the most overprivileged families in America.

To be fair, shouldn’t they also have a check your ghetto status as well?

Has anyone found a Harvard source for this?

Just trying to do some fact-checking.

Is this orientation class before or after the black mass?
Harvard is a joke.

I mocked this crap in freshman orientation 18 years ago calling it Maoist and leading students to walk out.
Were I to go to the Kennedy School, i would say "I'm privileged to go to Harvard's Kennedy school. Harvard is an institution with a long and fine history. The Kennedy school is an institution. Unfortunately, a bunch of hypocrites are defecating on the grave of an anti-communist killed by a communist, with this exercise of the Maoist cultural revolution. You (the instructor) have no privilege to destroy the institution. Everyone who still believes in either this institution or in liberty should join me in walking out of this excercise. Otherwise, go to Beijing."
I'd be shocked if anyone tries this.

Where do I sign up for this class? I have to take it. Just to disrupt and piss off the teacher.

Ive been of the opinion the human just have a couple of stereotype they recycle and reapply when needed.

Communist took the old Jewish race stereotype and reapply it to a class based /capitalist...now the left is reapplying it back to a race based stereotype to whites
