The University of Notre Dame is providing students an opportunity to take a one-credit course on white privilege through the years.
The White Privilege Seminar falls under the schools sociology offerings and will be on the agenda for spring 2015, The Daily Caller reported.
Its being billed in college materials as a six-week preparatory class designed to education and train White Privilege Conference delegation participants on the definitions of, historical/current paradigm of, and causes/effects of white privilege, The Daily Caller reported.
Those who take the class will then be sent to the conference, March 8-14. And the goal of both?
To give each student a personal transformation to leave the class and conference more aware of injustices and better equipped with tools to disrupt personal, institutional and worldwide symptoms of oppression, the course description said, The Daily Caller reported.
And some arent happy about the offering.
The problem I see with this course is that it is teaching a flawed and inherently racist sociological theory as fact, Mark Gianfalla, a campus activist, told The Daily Caller. This isnt education. Its indoctrination. Where is the required counterpoint course on affirmative action? It does not exist because that idea does not fit with the social and racial agenda of the professor.
Mr. Gianfalla also pointed out that the professor in charge of the course, Iris Outlaw, is the same faculty member who helped organize protests against the College Republicans hosting of Ann Coulter on campus last year under the premise that Ann was a perpetrator of racial hate speech.

Notre Dame's 'White Privilege Seminar' slammed as 'indoctrination'

WASHINGTON Since Kirby Wilbur quit as chairman of the Washington state Republican Party last year, hes held a job that would seem a tricky balance: training objective journalists at an overtly partisan organization.
Wilbur is executive director of the National Journalism Center in Reston, Va., an arm of Young Americas Foundation, a conservative group with a long association with the late President Ronald Reagan.
The centers mission is to populate both mainstream and partisan media outlets with young journalists of varying degrees of conservative orientation. Ann Coulter, the right-wing political pundit and provocateur, is a former intern (class of 1985). So is Malcolm Gladwell, an author and staff writer at The New Yorker (summer 1982).
Shifting into his new role has been easy for Wilbur. Before he became a paid GOP operative in 2011 by ousting state party chairman Luke Esser, Wilbur spent more than 15 years as a conservative radio host with KVI in Seattle. He also worked as occasional fill-in host for The Sean Hannity Show.
Wilburs brand of opinion journalism occasionally incensed listeners in liberal Seattle. Several years ago, he was targeted by an anonymous prankster who advertised fake landscaping jobs on craigslist at Wilburs home in Duvall in retaliation for Wilburs on-air railings against President Obama and the first lady.
Yet even with straight news, Wilbur believes, objective journalism is a phantom ideal. One proposed remedy: diversifying the pool of ideological talent.
When jobs open up, there arent all that many conservative, trained journalists, Wilbur said. But with proper skills, your biases will not affect what you write.
Wilbur, who was born in Washington, D.C., and moved to Seattle at age 8, leapt at the chance to return east.
The National Journalism Center was founded in 1977 by M. Stanton Evans. A conservative journalist and activist, Evans foremost wanted to train reporters and editors to rise above spin and distortion.

Quick: Someone call notorious soccer-hater Ann Coulter. We have discovered what is probably the most overly dramatic soccer flop in the long and storied history of soccer flops.
It comes courtesy of Leeds United's midfielder Adryan during his team's most recent match, a 2-0 loss to Derby City. Words scarcely do Adryan justice (an Oscar award, however, might) so please behold his epic, spasmodic, writhing flop.
Hmm, why does that look so familiar? Oh, yes, that's right we can observe similar behavior in the natural world.
Eat your heart out, Arjen Robben.
