University of Wisconsin students recently had to read a “racist and offensive” assignment that portrays “whiteness” as “oppressive,” according to a student taking the adult education class.
Grae O’Leary Hosmanek, a graduate student at the public university’s Milwaukee campus, told The College Fix via email the assignment stood out in her “Principles and Foundations of Adult Education” class because of its “blatantly anti-white sentiment.”
“Unlike the others we read that week, which focused on neurology and the learning process (as this is a class on Adult Education), an article with blatantly anti-white sentiment stood out starkly,” she said.
The spring semester course, taught by education Professor Liliana Mina, aims to introduce “concepts, theories, and principles of adult education; the nature of the adult learning process; and factors that influence and facilitate adult learning,” according to a course syllabus provided to The Fix.
