University of Delaware officials, who just a day earlier had defended a residence hall series of teachings on which WND reported that told students "all whites are racists," today announced the program is being stopped.
"While I believe that recent press accounts misrepresent the purpose of the residential life program at the University of Delaware, there are questions about its practices that must be addressed and there are reasons for concern that the actual purpose is not being fulfilled. It is not feasible to evaluate these issues without a full and broad-based review," said a statement posted on the school's website by President Patrick Harker.
"Upon the recommendation of Vice President for Student Life Michael Gilbert and Director of Residence Life Kathleen Kerr, I have directed that the program be stopped immediately. No further activities under the current framework will be conducted," he said.
His statement said the school "strives for an environment in which all people feel welcome to learn, and which supports intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, free inquiry and respect for the views and values of an increasingly diverse population. The University is committed to the education of students as citizens, scholars and professionals and their preparation to contribute creatively and with integrity to a global society. The purpose of the residence life educational program is to support these commitments."
Harker said Gilbert will work with the University Faculty Senate and others "to determine the proper means by which residence life programs may support the intellectual, cultural and ethical development of our students."

I’ve always thought that America (and FOR SURE the Western World) was run by nothing more than Dead White Marshmallows. Marshmallows just waiting for a campfire.
I’m not tryin’ to sound dramatic, but I’ve always felt that way. Really. I really have. The marshmallow thing is a genius metaphor. Ha haaaahaaaahaaaa /Sarc
“A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination.”
So by this definition, Louis Farrakhan cannot be a racist because he isn`t white.
This matter is very real. Google “Jona Olsson”.
“And people spend THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars for this crapola education.”
Worse yet, YOU pay for it.
There is a simple solution to this, which is true to real life. While the others are playing the game by the rules, the white males ought to grab the marshmellows and gulp them down, then claim that the racist society is to blame—they were only taking what was theirs.
I guess someone in accounting figured out they need those 'rich white oppressor types' to pay the bills. I wouldn't send one of mine there on a bet.
It’d be even more fun to bring the colored marshmallows...
indoctrinate this, ya UoD bums.
“I believe that to have a friend,
a man must be one.
That all men are created equal
and that everyone has within himself
the power to make this a better world.
That God put the firewood there
but that every man
must gather and light it himself.
In being prepared
physically, mentally, and morally
to fight when necessary
for that which is right.
That a man should make the most
of what equipment he has.
That ‘This government,
of the people, by the people
and for the people’
shall live always.
That men should live by
the rule of what is best
for the greatest number.
That sooner or later...
somewhere...somehow...
we must settle with the world
and make payment for what we have taken.
That all things change but truth,
and that truth alone, lives on forever.
In my Creator, my country, my fellow man.”
The Lone Ranger

“I guess someone in accounting figured out they need those ‘rich white oppressor types’ to pay the bills.”
Thats probably the only reason they switched.
This is nothing new. When I went to the University of Maryland, the feminist studies department took all the male names out of the phone book and made a display declaring that we were all “potential rapists.” University never did a damn thing about it.
He looks like Joey Biden....is he?
“Harker said Gilbert will work with the University Faculty Senate and others “to determine the proper means by which residence life programs may support the intellectual, cultural and ethical development of our students.”
Code words for saying they will find find another way to do the exact same thing.
[IF]
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master,
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
—Rudyard Kipling
Don't you just love a recursive definition, one that uses itself to define itself... This is generally an indication of a mindset that says, "I don't know why I hate you, but I do, and that's enough for me!" Or more commonly, "I'm too stupid to figure out why I hate you, but that's OK with me!"

OUTSTANDING FReeper comments! BUMP!
They have pulled the docs from the UDel web pages, that I’d posted links to in some of the earlier threads on this.
Unsurprising.
I wonder what the university would do if you took all the mid eastern names out of the phone book and made a display declaring them all potential terrorists.
I Googled her name.
This document:
http://cwsworkshop.org/pdfs/WIWP2/9Detour_Spotting.PDF
is one of the ones that was removed from the UDel’s residence life web site page about their “Whole New World Training”. This is the page it was on:

The others were similar. Serious moonbat stuff.
As long as it was under the covers the program was OK, but when the light of day was shined on it, it was canceled.
Sad, really, but a good lesson to other liberal indoctrination centers.
