One student calls it “an opportunity to bias students towards the shaming of one culture and ethnicity.”

Notre Dame ‘white privilege’ class promises ‘personal transformation’

Next semester, Notre Dame will offer a class that aims to help students acknowledge and understand their so-called “white privilege” and – and as a result of their “personal transformation” – find ways to “disrupt … oppression,” a description of the class states.

“The goal for each participant is personal transformation: to leave the class… more aware of injustices and better equipped with tools to disrupt personal, institutional, and worldwide systems of oppression,” according to a description of the six week, one-credit sociology course titled “White Privilege Seminar.”

Its class description argues “people consciously and unconsciously simultaneously participate in and are affected by systems of oppression. However, since these behaviors can be learned, they can be unlearned.”

The “White Privilege” seminar is billed as a “preparatory class” for its students, who will receive university funding to attend the White Privilege Conference, a four-day event set for March in Louisville, Kentucky.

But some students, in interviews with The College Fix, said they believe the class is blatantly biased and not appropriate.
