The Huffington Post reported:
April will be “Whiteness History Month” at a community college in Portland, Oregon, where faculty and staff wanted to come up with a new way to teach about race and racism.
Unlike Black History Month, which is observed nationally, the project at Portland Community College “is not a celebratory endeavor,” according to the school’s website. Rather, “it is an effort to change our campus climate” in a way that critically examines white privilege and racial power structures.
PCC faced backlash on Monday from conservative critics who derided the program as “whiteness shaming” and complained that it was a sign of pressure to be politically correct
Of course, there is a lot of lefties who support this hateful discrimination.
Props to @PortlandCC for hosting a month-long interrogation of white supremacy—and not bowing to backlash! https://t.co/bFd5hupVVY
