College Panel: White Students Should Not Be Allowed to Speak Before Black Students

Can you feel the tolerance? We’re almost at peak social justice. Next we need special rules for white people to ride only in the back of the bus and use special drinking fountains.
To combat supposed misogyny and racism on college campuses, a recent panel of professors and “gender justice” warriors said women and black students should get to speak first in class.
I do think, in general, there are a lot of studies that indicate women, girls are socialized not to speak first… And so to make a conscious rule, a deliberate rule that is explicit, that ‘no, men are not allowed to speak first,’ is certainly a strong way of addressing that issue…” said Jacqueline Warwick, a professor of musicology and former coordinator of the Gender and Women’s Studies Programs at Dalhousie.
Jude Ashburn, who identifies as a “non-binary trans person” and serves as an outreach coordinator at a local gender and sexual resource center, told UNews after the panel that she thinks black students should also be given priority when contributing to classroom discussions.
“When I do activist circles or workshops, I often say, ‘OK, if you’re white and you look like me and you raise your hand, I’m not going to pick on you before someone of color,’” said Ashburn.
I suspect there’s no one on the planet who looks like Jude Ashburn, but if there were, they probably should not be picked on for anything. And that especially includes Jude Ashburn.
But it does look like we’re approaching equality. Any day now social justice will mandate selling white people into slavery. To give up their white privilege. Of course.
