An assistant professor at the University of Iowa who pledged to expose her students to their own white ignorance in a peer-reviewed academic journal was stunned and appalled that she was, well, criticized for it.
Jodi Linley, a white education instructor, wrote that her goal was to make her mostly white graduate students keenly aware of their white privilege and use her classroom to deconstruct whiteness. If she did otherwise, she explained, it would make her complicit in perpetrating white supremacy.
For white students, she wrote, talking about race with an all-white group of peers [reveals] their own white ignorance.
Linley said her commitment to designing classes that fight white privilege began as soon as she became a professor in 2014, at which point she resolved to develop courses that both unveiled and rejected the notion that neutrality and objectivity are realistic and attainable.
As a white assistant professor of mostly white graduate students who will become higher education leaders, I work to dismantle whiteness in my curriculum, assignments and pedagogy, Linley explained, noting that in addition to her white identity, she also draws on her identities as a queer, able-bodied, cisgender woman with a working-class background to construct her teaching paradigm.

Love the entry for Jodi Lindley.
Her PhD is a joke.
She wouldn’t make it as a janitor in the STEM group.
It is long past time for the good lib arts folks (and there are plenty) to start calling out these little pretenders who are ruining what was once a respected part of academia.
The term “ignorant sl*t” appears a perfect fit.
Thanks. Deserves wider dissemination.
She has plenty to be ashamed of but being “white” isn’t one of them.
Nancy Culp. Jane Hathaway. Had a “thing” for Jethro, who remained, as usual, oblivious.
Nancy was a lesbo.
Wont be long before the quality of education in the average college will be indistinguishable from that of an inner city school.
These white professors should do the right thing and resign and give up their pensions, etc.
I notice she is wearing white. What a racist! /sarc.
No, don’t give up their pensions, just redirect them to some deserving minority.
F’n aye.
What a great photo.
And those guys are just glad they have work to go.
I’ll bet she is a delight at parties.
“Next there will be calls for white people to give up theit successful businesses, their accumulated wealth, their property all in the name of social justice.”
Actually, there already has. One BLMer said that she thought it would be a good idea if all whites left all their inheritance to minorities.
No, dont give up their pensions, just redirect them to some deserving minority.

Agree. It’s the only right thing to do.
This entire thing is about like the soccer moms and middle school parents in Mass. wanting everyone to get a trophy so no one is a loser. In this case, since blacks really haven’t accomplished much in US history, they feel we should diminish the accomplishments of whites. We should feel bad for our accomplishments.
Will Whites in America come to feel like they are white farmers in Mugabee’s South Africa?
ZIMBABWE’S MUGABE: ‘WE WILL NOT PROSECUTE KILLERS OF WHITE FARMERS’

” All I got in return was, Its a black thing, you wouldnt understand.”
Well, it is difficult to understand a idiot with a 65 IQ.
Yeah, I’m so privileged.
My ancestors were being rather harshly oppressed by the Czar of All the Russias when slavery and a good part of the Jim Crow era were being forced upon Blacks by Democrats. Democrats who used the KKK as their muscle, much like the Czars used Cossacks. Then some came here and faced some fairly significant discrimination because they were Jewish.
Lots of whites, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, whom I know have to get up in the morning to go to work, and struggle to pay a mortgage, insurance, education, food, etc.
Screw these Leftists and their “white privilege” BS. It is just another tactic to gain political advantage (i.e. power over us).
