This doesn't sound like that big a deal:

"Have you ever wondered what it really means to be white? If you're like most people, the answer is probably 'no.' But here is your chance!," reads the course description.

"In this class, we will ask what an ethical white identity entails, what it means to be #woke, and consider the journal Race Traitor's motto, 'treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.'"

The course description says it includes readings from W.E.B. Du Bois, Ta-Nehisi Coates and the professor's own article analyzing Rachel Dolezal.

Maybe you think its a dumb idea, doesn't really matter. College certainly shouldn't just be a place where nice ideas are the only ones explored.

The real story here is a state Rep thinking its appropriate for him to directly lean on academic decisions like this.

Incredibly racist.

If there was a course called the problem of blackness leftist from all over USA would be pissing their pants in outrage.
