Indiana University course teaches people are inherently ‘oppressors’ because of their race, sex, religion
Exploring intersectionality and racial, gender, and sexual identity has become a trend on college campuses

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."

It seems some white people are embarrassed to admit that POC, woman, gay / lesbian and bisexual people have been treated poorly in the past.

Speaking only for myself, I am not embarrassed to admit that POC, woman, gay / lesbian and bisexual people have been treated poorly in the past.  There's no doubt about that.  But I am not willing to say that I am treating them poorly right now, or that I, or anyone else who did not ever treat them poorly, deserve to be penalized or somehow used to make up for past mistreatment.  
It's not the history lesson that I object to.  It's the proposed remedies that are objectionable to me.  So, YES to the history lesson.  NO to using me or any other innocent party to make up for past injustices.
