Students at Cal offering White Privilege 101 class

Students at the University of California, Berkeley are offering a “White Privilege 101” course for people who “feel too white for Berkeley.” According to a flier obtained by MRCTV, students at Berkeley are offering a 2-credit DeCal, a “student-run democratic education” class, on the topic of white privilege. The flier asks prospective “White Privilege 101” students, “Got white privilege? Ever feel too white for Berkeley, but don’t know what to do?” The flier instructs then students, “Take this 2.0 unit decal and learn about how to navigate your whiteness at Cal!” The course allegedly features “weekly discussions to understand why everyone keeps telling you to be ‘politically correct.’” Contrary to the people who call for others to be silenced for not being politically correct, the DeCal history page claims DeCal courses are “rooted in the ideals of the Free Speech Movement.”
