FIRST ON FOX: James Madison University in Virginia is training student employees to recognize that people who identify as male, straight, cisgender, or Christian are "oppressors" that engage in the "systematic subjugation" of other social groups.
According to documents obtained by Fox News, student employees in charge of facilitating orientation for first-year students this fall at JMU underwent training in recent weeks to learn about social justice and inclusion.
A training video mandated for student staff, hosted by coordinators Jessica Weed and Jennifer Iwerks, described oppression as "the systematic subjugation of one social group by a more powerful social group for the social, economic and political benefit of the more powerful social group."
The video defined an "oppressor" group as one that has the power to define reality for themselves and others, and in turn, the "target" groups "take in and internalize the negative messages about them and end up cooperating with the oppressors (thinking and acting like them)."
The presentation defined privilege as the "unearned social power accorded by the formal and informal institutions of society to ALL members of a dominant group at the expense of targeted groups." …
… After the training was completed, student employees were sent an email instructing them to "not share these materials with others."

I wonder why …
The video defined an “oppressor” group as one that has the power to define reality for themselves and others, and in turn, the “target” groups “take in and internalize the negative messages about them and end up cooperating with the oppressors (thinking and acting like them).”
—The authors of the video just outed themselves as “oppressors”, by definition.
James Madison is rolling over in his grave over his vote for Biden.
But of course.
White, male, Christian, “cisgender” men, are the cause of every problem ever known to mankind.
And these while male Christians, have caused every problem of every grievance group known to mankind.
sarcasm.
Find the source, doxx it and let it “twist and die on the vine”.
Do unto them as they do unto you!!!!
I’ve been oppressed a few times, but never by a straight white male WASP (or Catholic, for that matter).
Loyal voter for centuries, he has no one to blame but himself.
I love being an oppressor, then.
Because heaven is what is undeserved and I’m glad to get what I do not deserve.
If folks want to hate Christ and get what they deserve, well, they will be able to.
Blaming one race for a country’s ills has been seen before in history. So were the consequences.
“Define reality” is code for “Finding a formula in life that creates success for anyone”.
Everyone knows that REAL success is what the government gives you.
As an alumni I am humiliated.
How long until the University changes their name?
It’s not Christian women forced to cover up in burqas, or be stoned.
it is tragic that James Madison University has so utterly abandoned (or just forgotten?) the words of James Madison himself,
“Learned institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.”
Jessica Weed, Coordinator of Organization Development.
Is that like a "community organizer"?
If we we’re oppressors the county would be in much better shape. We allowed the takeover with our tolerance and lack of action.
I love women with all of my being, but they are going to destroy this country.
The 16A was the beginning of our downfall.
Program is run by bigots.
