A professor is suing Pennsylvania State University for race discrimination after he was subjected to instruction that the English language is racist and the embodiment of "White supremacy," along with additional tirades against White people in professional development trainings, according to a lawsuit.

Professor Zack De Piero "was individually singled out for ridicule and humiliation because of the color of his skin," the lawsuit, filed by The Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR), said.

De Piero was an English professor at Penn State Abington.

"When he complained about the continuous stream of racial insult directed at White faculty in the writing department, the director of the Affirmative Action Office told him that ‘There is a problem with the White race,’ that he should attend ‘antiracist’ workshops ‘until you get it,’ and that he might have mental health issues," the lawsuit alleged.

Some of the workshops included a presentation captioned "White Teachers are a Problem," according to the lawsuit.

"The ‘White Teachers are a Problem’ video imposed on Penn State faculty… associated ‘White supremacy’ with all the evils of the world," according to the suit.

De Piero explained in an interview with Fox News Digital that he was expected by the university to submit to antiracist brainwashing and doctrine, particularly that he as a White person was inherently flawed on the basis of history.

He said the university wanted him to believe that "as a White individual, I'm somehow responsible for all the injustices and suffering currently in the world and in the history of the world."

And black Englishmen and women mourned the queen. They are proud to be and speak English. Same for black patriots in the USA.

This is a white liberal commie anti-American take.

The English language is so white supremacist that apparently more people speak it in China than in the US.

From the article:

What in the effity eff?
quote:

An equity administrator named in the suit, Alina Wong, engaged in breathing exercises in one session and suggested White staff needed to hold their breath longer than people of color in order to "'feel the pain’ that George Floyd endured," according to the lawsuit.

"De Piero and other faculty were thus singled out, caused to experience discomfort, and feel ‘the pain’ on the basis of their skin color," the lawsuit said. Wong no longer works at Penn State; she is currently the vice president for institutional equity at Macalester College. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

There's more:

quote:

Another professional development video said that "White English… kills people of color," according to the suit.

De Piero's direct report – Naydan – similarly "instructed her writing faculty to teach that White supremacy exists in language itself, and therefore, that the English language itself is ‘racist’ and, furthermore, that White supremacy exists in the teaching of writing of English, and therefore writing teachers are themselves racist white supremacists," the suit said.

She also allegedly "endorsed a… view" that racism against White people isn't racism.

This is great stuff. I hope he doesn't settle and creates precedent against this anti-American garbage.

Marxist loony-tunes need to be banned from all forms of teaching.

The Black Book of Communism needs to be required reading for HS and college.

The term 'White Supremacist' is the American radicalist racist version of the Antisemitic Nazi term 'Non-Aryan Jews'.

And given time and power the radicalist lurking in the shadows of this administration will do to White Christian MAGA's what the Nazis did to the 'Jewish Non-Aryans'.

You want to stop this diabolical plan in its tracks?

Trump 2024 - They're really after you and me, Donald Trump is just in the way.

There's an antidote to this kind of "discrimination", if you're white.

Just simply no longer identify as "white", "Caucasian" or "Anglo-American." I now identify as "differently pigmented."

An English professor who doesn't want to teach English? He can leave the ivory tower and get a real job.

This is incredible. This sounds like something you would see in a kindergarten classroom.

"Okay kids, we're going to hold our breath now. Everyone try to hold their breath for ten whole seconds!"
"Timmy, you didn't hold your breath. No Champ Stamp for you today"

Are these really grown adults playing these games?
