Indiana University (IU) is teaching students that they are inherently “oppressors” because of their race, gender and religion, documents show.
According to the school’s websiteIn the course “Understanding Diversity in a Pluralistic Society,” students are asked to examine “theories and models” to “improve understanding of our diverse society.”
The course “provides content about differences and similarities in the experiences, needs and beliefs of selected minority groups and their relationship to the majority group.”
It added that the “groups include, among others, people of color, women, and gays, lesbians and bisexuals.”

ONLY 20% OF UNIVERSITY FACULTY SAY A CONSERVATIVE WOULD FIT WELL IN THEIR DEPARTMENT: REPORT
The Free Beacon first reported that instructor Colleen Rose asks students to write an “in-depth reflection of two parts of (their) identity: a subordinate identity and a dominant identity.”
The Beacon has obtained a table that is provided to students to help define specific groups. The graphic explains that “subordinate groups” face “social oppression” from the “dominant groups.” These groups include “LGBTQ” people, “women,” and religious and ethnic minorities.
“Straight, white, able-bodied, Christian” and “men” are “dominant groups” guilty of “social oppression.”

“I am being punished with an assignment for my identity as a person,” the student told the Beacon.
The student continued, “It’s very gratifying that in a class where we’re supposed to talk about identity and not identity oppression, I’m forced to suppress my own identity… I have to suppress myself because it’s expected of me .” Be a privileged, terrible person who didn’t grow up without food. This is crazy to me.
The course offered by IU’s School of Social Work meets the school’s Social and Historical Studies credit requirements.
IU did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
