Kennesaw State University Segregates White Students For "Privilege Workshop"

For all you parents who have spent the past month bragging about which college recently accepted your snowflake and dreaming about the career doors that will be opened up courtesy of an elite education and your $50,000 annual tuition checks, here is a dose of reality about what your student is actually about to be subjected to. 


Kennesaw State University recently hosted a workshop for their snowflakes called "Being, Becoming, and Fostering Allies: Building Relationship Across Privilige."  The workshop, hosted by 3 psychology professors and a doctoral student, billed itself more or less as a crash course on relationship development. 





Panelists will highlight the essential conceptual, relational, and emotional processes involved in ally development, using their long-standing relationships to illustrate key concepts and identify and model strategies for enacting ally intentions. Panelists will explore the ongoing process of developing and fostering allies and the challenges that emerge in these journeys. Presenters will discuss the essential roles of self-reflection, cultural humility action, and re-engagement after failures, as well as the qualities of relationships that facilitate ally development.



But, when it came time to split up into breakout sessions, the enlightened psych professors thought it would be great idea to segregate the white students so they could reflect on their "white privilege" in solitude.





"Those who identify as white, go to room SO 1019"



"Those who identify as people of color, go to room SO 5074"



And while that may seem hard to believe for anyone who hasn"t spent much time around our "institutions of higher indoctrination" in recent years, here is a copy of the workshop flyer from HeatStreet:


Kennesaw



Not surprisingly, a spokeswoman from Kennesaw State said the whole situation was simply being "mischaracterized" as segregation...





“The goal of the workshop, which was led by an outside expert, was to foster learning and create an environment of understanding and support for one another,” said Kennesaw State University spokeswoman Tammy DeMel. “Attendees were asked to work together and then were invited to join the group with which they identify.”



The April 13 event “is being mischaracterized” as segregation, DeMel added.



...of course, because how could anyone misconstrue the physical separation of students, based solely on the color of their skin, as "segregation"?

"It's Very Shocking" - Georgia's Cobb County Waited 2 Days Before Admitting Critical Voting Machines Stolen

In a stunning report, Cobb County"s Channel 2 Action News has learned that critical voting machines were stolen just days before polls will open for a special election.



State officials are investigating after equipment was taken from a Cobb County precinct manager’s vehicle.  Cobb County Elections Director Janine Eveler said the stolen machines cannot be used to fraudulently vote in Tuesday’s election. The four so-called ExpressPoll machines were the computers poll workers used to check-in voters, and check those off who cast ballots.


According to Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the equipment was stolen on Saturday evening while the vehicle was parked at the Kroger on Canton Road. Kemp"s office says Cobb County Elections waited two days to tell his office about the theft of the machines. The four so-called ExpressPoll machines were the computers poll workers used to check-in voters, and check those off who cast ballots. Kemp released the following statement Monday afternoon:





"It is unacceptable that the Cobb County Elections Office waited two days to notify my office of this theft.



We have opened an investigation, and we are taking steps to ensure that it has no effect on the election tomorrow. I am confident that the results will not be compromised."



Given the intense focus of the Left in using this special election as proxy for America"s dissent against President Trump (having given up on their "Russians did it" narrative in recent weeks), one wonders just why (and who) these machines would be stolen?





“It’s very shocking, especially with the climate we have of voter fraud out there,” one Georgia voter told Channel 2’s Ross Cavitt.



Of course, as we noted earlier, an equally important question raised by the interview below is, since when does a newbie candidate running in a tiny Georgia congressional district, that will have no impact of the Republican majority in the House, get national airtime on CNN?
