Vanderbilt University’s largest class had a quiz question that claimed the United States Constitution was “designed to perpetuate white supremacy and protect the institution of slavery,” Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) reported Thursday.
The quiz was a required part of the university’s Political Science 1150: U.S. Elections 2020 class, an online course that teaches over 800 students, YAF reported.
The true/false question asked, “was the Constitution designed to perpetuate white supremacy and uphold the institution of slavery?” Students were marked wrong if they answered “false.”

The Constitution’s intent was to do the polar opposite.
“was the Constitution designed to perpetuate white supremacy and uphold the institution of slavery?”
That’s two questions.
Kinda odd for a true/false quiz.
American universities are dependent on foreign students who pay full tuition. This crap is soon going to have a negative impact on this lucrative income stream. Who will pay that kind of money so their kids can learn how to be pissed off?
Frederick Douglass would flunk this exam

Universities used to be institutes of higher learning and have morphed into cancerous communist propaganda tumors.
True/False questions are not very appropriate for a true academic class. The influence of Hobbs, Locke, Algernon Sidney, and other philosophers upon the founders was probably inconsequential in the view of the “professor(s)” who put this course together.
This is another argument against paying Vanderbilt tuition. I grew up in the orbit of this university and my father and big brother both were recipients of the “Shovel Award” given to the medical school lecturer who “shoveled-in” the most knowledge based upon a vote of the med students. Alas, the whole school has become sick and infected since those days.
Slavery was doomed from the moment it was declared that, All Men are Created Equal
Vanderbilt needs to be torn down, ‘til there isn’t a brick left standing.
Had the question been worded “was the Constitution of the Confederate States of America designed to perpetuate white supremacy and uphold the institution of slavery?” The correct answer would be yes.
Anybody who believes that should call 877-381-3811...ask for Mark
He’ll either educate you or tell you to “get off the phone, you idiot”
Like it or not, it was Anglo-Saxon white folk who conquered and settled and grew America. The same people which are still the majority of this country, and will likely remain the majority of this country, God Willing. If a majority is considered ‘supremest’, then by definition a black nation is a black supremest nation and an asian nation is a asian supremest country and should be critiqued in the same manner as America. Most especially for their decided lack of, and proven historical hostility towards, diversity. A majority shouldn't have to apologize or be made to feel guilty for being a majority. America has extended a hand of friendship to "minorities," who are minorities only in this country, but that doesn't make America an international hotel stripped of national identity. America doesn't ‘belong to the world’. It is a unique nation just like all the other nations and their people, all of their people, of all colors, deserve equal respect of their skin color and national identity.
Our Constitition was written at a time when slavery of white and black, asian and indian, male and female, was a universal practice throughout the world. North American indians, Central American indians and South American indians all had slaves well before the first European boot touched the shore, as has been well documented. There was slavery in India, Japan, China, polynesian islands, caribbean islands, Egypt, Finland (vikings), Easter Island, everywhere you can think of. So of course the Constitution reflected world thought at that time. How could it not? Lucky for us, our Constitution is flexible and can be, and was, amended to accommodate changing moral viewpoints and moral maturity. A Christian maturity of thought that ended and outlawed slavery, and that obviously matured more quickly in Anglo-Saxon countries than the asian or black nations where human trafficking persists to this day. With nary a peep of consternation from those who look to degrade Anglo-Saxons who built the greatest nation the earth has ever seen.
America, and America's Constitution should be celebrated around the world, in and out of classrooms, not held to some racist double-standard expressed in your bigoted true-false question. Surely there's another instructor available on this campus with a more mature and less sadistic approach to teaching.
"All men are created equal" was a land mine aimed at slavery. Abolition was just a matter of time.
U S Constitution is the prime target of these domestic enemies. Stop them or be enslaved America.
Past time to clan up the colleges.
I will there was a wokerati rating for Universities so we could know which ones were worthy of support.
(variant of get woke go broke)
A true/false answer demand corrals the student into choosing the “educator’s” predetermined proper answer or failing. If that isn’t fascist what is? Good teachers lean to essay-type tests that require both the students and teachers to apply themselves for the overall good. I saw where some “professors” wish to strike on behalf of BLM thinking the world can’t get along without them. Go for it. Please.
