University Offers $1,200 Stipends to Learn How 'Whiteness' Can Be 'Eradicated'

The stipends go to professors and instructors who attend the "Anti-Racist Liberatory Pedagogy Academy" this July.

The brochure from Professor G.T. Reyes said that CRT IS “a race-conscious framework that examines the ways that whiteness is normalized in our country and in our University.”

“Critical Race Theory takes an intersectional approach to interrogating race and racism in the United States,” the info sheet also said. Professor Reyes did not respond to a June 23 email that asked for a definition of “whiteness” and how many professors were enrolled.

Participants will confront the question of how they can “also aim towards liberatory conditions where whiteness has been eradicated.”

“Participants will receive a $600 participant stipend for completion of the summer portion and a second $600 stipend for the completion of the follow up work through the Spring semester,” Professor Michael Lee wrote in a May promotional email reviewed by The College Fix.

Anytime someone says “I’m not a racist,” they are in denial to their racist behaviors and thoughts.

Mainstream America's preoccupation with not being "a racist" avoids how racist ideologies drive, naturalize, & invisiblize racist behaviors

Whiteness enacted in the everyday subtleties of human behavior is f-ing exhausting. I don’t think some of y’all know that.

Yes, the overt racist behaviors and policies are definitely tiresome, but it’s those subtle, everyday, mundane microaggressions from especially smart white folks who got that social justice talk down real well that exhaust me and get me all f-ed up.

Here's the thing about children as "the future." If they aren't currently critically engaged in and dissatisfied with the present, then it shouldn't be a surprise if they're complicit with the current order of things and continue that existence into the future.

Rather than say, “I recognize my white male privilege,” I’d rather you say, “I’ve been working on being more literate, attentive, & mindful of the ways that white supremacy as ideology and racism as a process of that affords me privileges I can no longer be complicit with.”
