Berea College is a private liberal arts college that wants their students to accept whatever “discomfort” this might cause them.
This story was first spotted via Young America’s Foundation’s campus bias tip line. It’s from this we get to see what to expect. A demonization of white people that takes the politically complicated matters that unfolded during the Trump administration be lumped up into a box of rhetoric used to smear everyone with a white skin color.
YAF also shared this flyer.
According to the Berea College calendar, the event is a Zoom meet-up taking place on March 17th between 12 and 1 PM. It’s within which an Amy Brandzel, assistant professor of American studies and women studies at the University of New Mexico, and author of Against Citizenship: The Violence of the Normative, is set to make a presentation.
Berea College sent a lengthy response to both YAF and Fox News. They refute the notion that the title of the event somehow meanwhile Berea doesn’t welcome people with different opinions.
They go on: "That is not true. At Berea, we strive to live out our motto: God has made of one blood all peoples of the earth. Berea accepts students of all faiths (or none at all), religious beliefs, ethnicities and political leanings, creating a diverse environment that encourages acceptance, respect and even appreciation across our differences.”
Even further in their statement they justify the event saying “racism and white nationalism” have been debated back and forth for the last five years now. “While that may cause discomfort, it is a valid and important conversation in this time of political and racial division. It is our hope that these types of conversations will occur across the country. Open, honest dialogue is essential to understanding racism and moving toward an anti-racist society."
For reference, the Berea College copy-pasted this response on Twitter in full.
