Cornell Law Professor William Jacobson reacts to Luigi Mangione going from being an Ivy League student to being accused of murder on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’
Indiana University (IU) is teaching students that they are inherently “oppressors” because of their race, sex and religion, documents show.
According to the school’s website, the course “Understanding Diversity in a Pluralistic Society” prompts students to examine “theories and models” in order to “enhance understanding of our diverse society.”
The course “provides content about differences and similarities in the experiences, needs, and beliefs of selected minority groups and their relation to the majority group.”
It added that the “groups include, but are not limited to, people of color, women, and gay, lesbian, and bisexual persons.”

ONLY 20% OF UNIVERSITY FACULTY SAY A CONSERVATIVE WOULD FIT IN WELL IN THEIR DEPARTMENT: REPORT
The Free Beacon first reported that the class instructor Colleen Rose prompts students to compose an “in-depth reflection of two parts of [their] identity: one subordinate identity and one dominant identity.”
The Beacon obtained a chart that’s given to students to define certain groups. The chart explains that “subordinate groups” are subject to “social oppression” by the “dominant groups.” These groups include “LGBTQ” people, “women,” and religious and ethnic minorities.
“Heterosexual, White, Able-bodied People, Christian,” and “Men” are “dominant groups” guilty of “social oppression.”

TEXAS CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY OFFERS ‘QUEER ART OF DRAG’ COURSE REQUIRING STUDENTS TO CREATE A ‘DRAG PERSONA’
The student went on to say, “It’s very rich that in a class where we are supposed to be talking about identity and not suppressing identity, I’m forced to suppress my own identity… I have to suppress myself because I’m presumed to be some privileged, horrible human being that didn’t grow up without food. That’s insane to me.”
The course, offered by IU’s School of Social Work, fulfills credit requirements for the college’s “social and historical studies.”
IU did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
