Two Rutgers University faculty groups have come out in support of “Professor Crunk,” aka Brittney Cooper, who said in a recent interview that “white people are committed to being villains” and as such “we gotta take these motherfuckers out.”...

  Cooper then followed that up with a rant that whiteness “totally skews our view of everything,” and that African and indigenous peoples were “brilliant” and “vibrant” before “white people showed up being raggedy and violent and terrible and trying to take everything from everybody.”

  The AAUP said that Cooper is a “renowned” and “widely acclaimed scholar and public intellectual” whose academic work “illuminates the harm and devastation wrought by anti-Black racism and white supremacist projects.”

During a talk titled “Unpacking the Attacks on Critical Race Theory,” Rutgers University professor Brittney Cooper called white people villains and said that they “kind of deserve” the current declining birth rate.

  She also told writer Michael Harriot, “I think that white people are committed to being villains in the aggregate.” ... Cooper is an associate professor of Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers University.

  When asked if white people would ever release the power they currently hold, Cooper answered, “The thing I want to say to you is, ‘We gotta take these m-----f-----s out,’ but like, we can’t say that, right? I don’t believe in a project of violence, I truly don’t," because "our souls suffer from that."

  Cooper said that, when she teaches Critical Race Theory to college students, she asks them if “we can legislate [racism] away and we can march it away…or, do we think white people just always gonna be like this, and our job is to hold back their ability to do the most harm?”

A white scholar at Virginia Tech University has apologized to her students for her “innate racism” and called on her white students to join her in her “antiracist” journey.

  Crystal Duncan Lane, a faculty member in the Department of Human Development and Family Science, made the comments on her Human Development 1134 syllabus.

  “I am a Caucasian cisgender female and first-generation college student from Appalachia who is of Scottish, British, and Norwegian heritage. I am married to a cisgender male, and we are middle class. While I did not ‘ask’ for the many privileges in my life: I have benefitted from them and will continue to benefit from them whether I like it or not,” reads the syllabus, obtained and first reported on by Campus Reform.

  “This is injustice,” Duncan Lane continued. “I am and will continue to work on a daily basis to be antiracist and confront the innate racism within myself that is the reality and history of white people.”

In a recently published piece, a professor asserts that art education in America has a “white supremacy” problem, and that art teachers can practice “reparation” through their recognition of “whiteness” in the arts as “violence.”

  Courtni Wolfgang, an associate professor at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), recently wrote an article titled “The White Supremacy of Art Education in the United States: My Complicity and Path Toward Reparation Pedagogy,” published in the Journal of Cultural Research in Art Education...

Wolfgang charges that the “normalization of whiteness” in the art education is inherently violent, as well. She refers to “whiteness” in both subject matter and artistry, and alleges that white teachers who do not try to combat the whiteness in art are propagators of violence against their students.

A newly published academic journal article argues that science educators must do more to combat “whiteness” and “White ideology” in the classroom.

  In their research essay titled “Towards a truer multicultural science education: how whiteness impacts science education,” University of Colorado at Denver scholars Cheryl E. Matias and Paul T. Le seek to “have the field consider the theoretical frames of whiteness and how it might influence how we engage in science education such that our hope for diversity never fully materializes.”...

  “For many scientists, we are convinced that objectivity prevents an oppressive culture because discoveries are independent of identity,” they observe. “Consequently, we unknowingly spread whiteness ideology.”

A University of Colorado, Denver administrator worries that white children may “forfeit their humanity” if they aren’t raised by sufficiently progressive parents.

  In an academic article, Naomi Nishi, who facilitates educational programs for professors and periodically teaches classes, argues that parents should employ “critical race parenting” to prevent white children from committing “racial microaggressions” against their peers.

  "Can we...begin at the core with our white children and work to ward off white identity and whiteness before children succumb and forfeit their humanity in order to join the oppressor?"...

  White children, on the other hand, are especially prone to committing racial microaggressions because they “learn a complicated dance of whiteness” that teaches them not only to “maintain and defend whiteness,” but to do so while claiming to be “colorblind.”

Evergreen State College biology professor Bret Weinstein learned the severe consequences of opposing campus leftists this week.

  Weinstein originally caused a ruckus on his very-liberal Washington state university when he sensibly opposed an event that required all whites to depart from the campus for a day. He called the idea a “show of force and an act of oppression.”

  For voicing this opinion and being white himself, Weinstein was branded a racist and hounded by campus agitators who demanded his termination. On Thursday, the biology professor had to conduct his class off-campus due to police telling him it wasn’t safe for the mild academic to appear at his place of work.
