The University of Delaware has about 7,000 students living on campus. It requires these students “to adopt highly specific university-approved views on issues ranging from politics to race, sexuality, sociology, moral philosophy and environmentalism.” Students are “pressured or even required” to make statements that comply with the school’s views.
Being quiet about their beliefs isn’t enough to keep students out of trouble. They are interviewed, one-on-one, with intrusive questions. If they fail to give politically correct answers, then a report is written about them, and they are subjected to “treatment” — compulsory re-education. (This is a state university, which means that it is supported by taxes. Therefore, people who would be appalled by such things are required by law to support them financially.)
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has produced an online video about this brainwashing. In interviews with students and professors, it shows how the university’s Office of Residence Life used a variety of methods to “coerce students to change their thoughts, values, attitudes, beliefs, and habits” so that they would “conform to a highly specified social, environmental, and political agenda.”
One of the university’s views is that all whites of European descent are, by definition, racists. That would include William Wilberforce, a white Englishman who spent his life working for the abolition of slavery.[6] Hard to believe? Then read these current definitions from the “University of Delaware Office of Residence Life Diversity Facilitation Training (PDF)
“A RACIST: …all white people…. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination.” (Page 3)
“REVERSE RACISM: A term created and used by white people to deny their white privilege. Those in denial use the term reverse racism to refer to hostile behavior by people of color toward whites…. In the U.S., there is no such thing as ‘reverse racism.'” (Page 3)
“A NON-RACIST: A non-term. The term was created by whites to deny responsibility for systemic racism, to maintain an aura of innocence in the face of racial oppression, and to shift responsibility for that oppression from whites to people of color (called “blaming the victim”).”(Page 3)
The “racist” label would apply to James Reeb, a white American man who was beaten to death by segregationists on March 11, 1965, because he participated in Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s march for civil rights in Selma, Alabama. Click here to continue reading.
