    1. Why is this class even allowed. How is is this class helpful at all??
      Obviously it’s structured to demean whites and sow racial division.
      Typical leftist nonsense.

    1. I must have missed how black folks enslaved white folks for 250 years and then inflicted segregation on them for 100 years after that and then even after the Civil Rights movement continued to repress them through things like redlining, refusal to offer personal and business loans, etc. Because that’s what white people have done to black folks throughout this nation’s shameful history. But, Keith, if you had any actual factual examples of what postulate, you should have the right to teach that, just like this teacher should have the right to teach her class supported by evidence and reason. Or should free speech protection only be extended to speech you personally support?

    2. If you want to learn history,
      then sign up for a history course taught by an academically qualified historian who will teach it historically accurate,

      As far as free speech is concerned, no one will defend free speech more than me. In fact I will even defend speech that I disagree with,

      Also, recognize that a difference of opinion does not make someone a racsist.

    3. Nobody called you a racist, Keith. “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

    1. Wrong. The ideology is pretending that white supremacy doesn’t exist in 2026 and that it isn’t a core function of the social work profession to do what it can to mitigate it. If you disagree with the instructor, be specific and point out where.

    2. Michael N.

      Many on the left are accusing anyone that voted for Trump a racist. Insisting that MAGA is racist. Very unfair to say the least.

      That said, the instructor was saying that MAGA was code for racism. She is also insisting that micro aggressions and celebrating Columbus Day are forms of racism.
      Micro Aggressions?? Really??
      Teaching students to be very thin skinned and judgemental. Not giving people the benefit of the doubt. No issues can be debated without micro aggressions. All the whole micro aggression thing accomplishes is shutting down dialogue and debate.

      Also, one thing that gets missed with people like this instructor is that prejudice and racism goes both ways. This instructor will never acknowledge that inconvenient fact.

    3. Is it not thin-skinned to be so outraged by a single graphic in a college course that MAGA tries to cancel the teacher? I thought MAGA hates cancel culture? This is the problem with the conservative backlash in college campuses. You’re mad that liberals “control” them, but you can’t offer a persuasive alternative. Don’t be outraged that a professor included the MAGA slogan in a slide about white supremacy. Persuade the public that MAGA isn’t a white supremacist movement. Unfortunately, that would be an uphill battle and the utter lack of attempt shows that you know it is rooted in truth. The examples are myriad and well documented. I’m happy to list them for you.

    4. Michael N.
      You said that you could show examples of MAGA being racist.
      I could say the same of many leftwing organizations. Organizations that see everything in black & white.
      Whites = oppressors
      People of color = oppressed
      That the United Stated is not a great nation, but is a deeply flawed country. That the United States is irredeemable.

      Yes! The right is pushing back hard against the heavily leftwing bias that dominates our college campuses as it should, especially in the social sciences and humanities.
      The anti-Semitism that swept through our college campuses
      WAS NO accident.
      BLM and the college campuses sided with Hamas for racial reasons. That is fact!
      Yes! Conservatives are pushing back hard because they were not allowed to have a voice for a long time. Political Correctness and Woke policies drove campus policies.
      Lastly, no one on the right is saying that there is no racism.
      They’re saying that it’s exaggerated and that much of it permeates on the left far more than the right. Which is absolutely correct.

    5. It’s interesting that your “examples” are mostly vague grievances, Keith. If you care so much about anti-semitism, then surely you’ll acknowledge that Donald Trump having dinner with Nick Fuentes is a more direct example of MAGA platforming an anti-Semitic and racist influencer? What about the “Unite the Right” rally where they chanted “Jews will not replace us” and Donald Trump called them fine people? Moving onto Birtherism and this administrations support for the Great Replacement Theory. The list goes on and on. You have to tell yourself that the problem is worse on the left because to think otherwise, despite the mountains of evidence in front of you, would be to acknowledge that you’ve aligned yourself with terrible people who hate this country and really only want to enrich themselves or ethnically cleanse people who don’t look like them.

  1. Michael, When AP allows the right to life movement to be referred to as “pro life” rather than anti-abortion, or allows the “pro choice” movement to be referred to as the “pro abortion” then I will give your argument some credence….
