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."

Blaming one race for a country’s ills has been seen before in history. So were the consequences.

Exactly. Maybe that's why they don't teach history anymore. We might actually learn something from it.

Just wait until the refugee taliwackers relocate to VA. These snow flakes are going to get a real education.
