From Fox News: A website belonging to the “Culture and Family Lab” at Minnesota’s flagship university hosts a webpage warning against a “whiteness pandemic” that provides “resources” on how to “halt and reverse” the issue.
“If you were born or raised in the United States, you have grown up in the Whiteness Pandemic, and you can play a role in halting and reversing this pandemic, especially if you are White because of the power and privilege you hold in this racialized society,” explains the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities webpage, which is part of the Institute of Child Development.
“If you were socialized into the culture of Whiteness during childhood, it is not your fault, but as an adult it is now your responsibility to self-reflect, re-educate yourself, and act. If you are a White adult, antiracist action involves an ongoing process of self-reflection in order to develop a healthy positive White identity while engaging in courageous antiracist parenting/caregiving.”
Parents rights’ watchdog Defending Education put out a report on Tuesday outlining the university’s efforts.
The university’s website claims that racism is a “pandemic,” but adds that there is also a “whiteness pandemic” that “perpetuates racism”… and they claim it’s all the fault of the “family system.”
It gets even more bizarre, as the website states, “At birth, young children growing up in White families begin to be socialized into the culture of Whiteness, making the family system one of the most powerful systems involved in systemic racism.”

Law professor Jonathan Turley weighed in on the insanity of it all. In a 3-part post, he wrote:

…It is pretty clear who is racializing society in this statement: “If you were born or raised in the United States, you have grown up in the Whiteness Pandemic, and you can play a role in halting and reversing this pandemic, especially if you are White because of the power and privilege you hold in this racialized society.”…
…It continues to tell University of Minnesota parents that “If you were socialized into the culture of Whiteness during childhood, it is not your fault, but as an adult it is now your responsibility to self-reflect, re-educate yourself, and act.” For this, out-of-state families pay roughly $36,000 in tuition.
