Bowing to student activist pressure, Iowa State University is planning in the new year to require staff members to undergo politically correct anti-racism training, as well as require students to undergo “inclusion” training, after a series of incidents on campus.
The move comes as racial sensitivity training and training aimed to eradicate so-called white privilege becomes an increasingly controversial topic in the nation’s schools. Critics characterize such efforts as leftist, multiculturalist indoctrination, and in some cases, liken them to forced ideological reeducation. Supporters of such training say that so-called hate speech must be opposed.
