Update on the University of Delaware Program That Calls All White People Racists

Friday, November 02, 2007

By Brit Hume

Diversity Dumped

The president of the University of Delaware has pulled the plug on that controversial student diversity program we told you about Thursday.

Training materials for the program stated — "The term (racist) applies to all white people ... living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because ...they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination."

Students also complained about coercion on such topics as sexual orientation, politics and the environment.

Thursday, university President Patrick Harker said, "Questions about the program must be addressed and there are reasons for concern that the actual purpose is not being fulfilled."
