Professor Implies Student Is a ‘Cyber Terrorist’ for Objecting to ‘the Problem of Whiteness’ Class

A University of Chicago teaching fellow implied that a student is a “cyber terrorist” after he objected to a class she was set to teach called “The Problem of Whiteness.”

“In recent years, whiteness has resurfaced as a conspicuous problem within liberal political discourse,” the description of a class called “The Problem of Whiteness” reads.

The University of Chicago course, which will be taught by teaching fellow Rebecca Journey in the spring of the 2022 – 2023 school year, uses Critical Race Theory to analyze “whiteness.” The course “examines the problem of whiteness through an anthropological lens, drawing from classic and contemporary works of critical race theory.”
