I'M ENROLLING RIGHT AWAY – AT 11:24 A.M. ET:  I wanted to rush this to you so you can enroll while there's still room.  From Fox:   

Ohio State University will be offering a new course in the spring semester that will focus on how to “identify microaggressions” and “systems of power and privilege,” The College Fix reported.

The syllabus says the class will offer insight into developing “an understanding of major social justice concepts.”

The course literature includes a reading list with works such as, “Waking up White: What it means to accept your legacy, for better and worse,” and “Readings for diversity and social justice.”

According the syllabus, the class will “grasp their role within greater society and how they can work to create social justice.”

“Students will learn to value their own self-identity and the identities of others different from them,” the syllabus also added.

The “Crossing identity boundaries: A journey towards intercultural leadership” course meets a mandatory diversity and General Education requirement for the University.

The goal of the course is to offer an “intellectual and experiential engagement” on issues within “different social and cultural groups.”

COMMENT:  I look forward to the class where the instructor says, "Look, you snowflakes, if you want to go somewhere and get some real social justice, take physics, chemistry, engineering and math, not 'oppression studies.'" 

What do you mean, they canceled that class and jailed the instructor?
