University of Colorado Offers Course Credits for White Privilege Conference
Nothing to see here, folks.
Just another case of left wing academics rewarding college students for participating in their ongoing orgy of race and class warfare.

Students can earn class credit for attending ‘White Privilege Conference’
The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs invited students to attend a three-day “White Privilege Conference” and earn as many as four class credits.
The 14th annualWhite Privilege Conference will be held April 10-13, in Seattle, Washington, some 1,300 miles from UCCS. But if students manage to get there — and pay the steep $250 registration fee – they can earn up to four course credits for writing a brief three paragraph journal entry on the experience.
According to the conference’s website, credits are “highly transferable,” meaning that high school students, graduate students, and students from other universities may also earn course credit if their institutions approve it. The conference is open to everyone, though the fees increase dramatically for non-students.
Promotional videos from previous conferences paint a picture of an event designed to educate white people about the myriad ways they subconsciously benefit from their race. One video even lists some of them:
“I can go shopping fairly assured I won’t be followed or harassed.”
“I can swear, or dress in second hand clothes, or not answer letters without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the poverty, or the illiteracy of my race.”
“I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without coworkers suspecting my race got me in.”
