A student at the University of Oklahoma is claiming that she was told during a human-relations-theory class that it would be a “microaggression” for her to sing a Rihanna song, because she’s white.
“I was told as a white woman it’s insulting and a microaggression for me to cover or sing a Rihanna song because I’m not from Barbados,” the student, who asked to remain anonymous, told Fox News’s Todd Starnes.
“I was literally told to go sing ‘The Star-Spangled Banner,’” she added.
The class also had to take a 100-question “privilege checklist,” featuring items including “I am white,” “I have never questioned any of my identities,” and “I have used prescription drugs recreationally.”
As Starnes points out, what’s particularly disturbing about this is that the lessons learned here are intended to go beyond the classroom. According to Starnes, the student who approached him said she had to take the class in order to receive a degree in human resources — which means that, after these kids graduate, it might be a lot easier for people to get into trouble at work.
