(CAMPUS REFORM) – A professor at Brigham Young University (BYU) allegedly assigned a classroom exercise titled "Revealing Whiteness Activity." Professor Jane Lopez assigned the activity as homework and instructed students to photograph three representations of "Whiteness" on campus.
According to the assignment instructions, "Whiteness is defined as: "(1) a location of structural advantage or 'race privilege'[;] (2) a 'standpoint' or place from which White people look at themselves, at others, and at society, and (3) a set of cultural practices that are usually unmarked and unnamed."
The assignment was allegedly publicized in a now-deleted social media post by the student-led organization BYU Conservatives. According to the group, they began facing backlash from university staff after the post was originally made.
The post Read what happened after students posted their class 'Revealing Whiteness Activity' on social media appeared first on WND.
