Progressive absurdity has found its way into the syllabus of a brand new course at Palo Alto’s prestigious Stanford University. This new anthropology course, entitled White Identity Politics, taught by Professor John Patrick Moran this upcoming fall, is set to solve the racial animosity in our country by educating (or indoctrinating) students into left-wing identity politics and virtue signaling.
According to the course description, one of the main points addressed in the course’s syllabus will be how the concept of white identity can correlate with racist ideologies. These ideologies include white nationalism, white supremacy, white privilege, and whiteness.
Stanford University students will not only be afforded the opportunity to examine whether or not these specific politics exist, but also learn practices that include “abolishing whiteness or coming to terms with white identity.”
Ernest Miranda, Senior Director of University Media Relations for Stanford’s Communications department, as well as university spokesperson, spoke to The College Fix regarding an exact definition of the premise of “abolishing whiteness.” Miranda explained that the notion was first established in the 1990s and was done so by liberal-minded, white historians.
Apparently, the catalyst that lead Stanford to create such a course was none other than the recent Presidential election.
“Pundits proclaim that the 2016 Presidential election marks the rise of white identity politics in the United States,” the course description reads.
Unbeknownst to Professor Moran, solving racial racial tensions and ethnological animosity doesn’t begin with pinpointing an entire group of individuals and demonizing them. That strategy won’t succeed in coalescing Americans together, unifying communities, or in providing a decent and reputable education worth over $40,000 a year.
The course outline continues its folly.
“We will survey the field of whiteness studies, scholarship on the intersection of race, class, and geography, and writings on whiteness in the United States by contemporary public thinkers, to critically interrogate the terms used to describe whiteness and white identities.”
It is unclear how this course will aid Stanford students in preparing for life after college as it has not been proven that condemning white identity helps in the job market or in interaction between co-workers.
