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 websitethe course “Understanding Diversity in a Pluralistic Society” encourages students to examine “theories and models” to “enhance understanding of our diverse society.”
The course “provides content on the differences and similarities in the experiences, needs and beliefs of selected minority groups and their relationship to the majority group.”
It adds that “groups include, but are not limited to, people of color, women, and gay, lesbian, and bisexual people.”

ONLY 20% OF UNIVERSITY TEACHERS SAY A CONSERVATIVE WOULD BE A GOOD FIT IN THEIR DEPARTMENT: REPORT
First reported by the Free Beacon that teacher Colleen Rose encourages students to compose “deep thinking about two parts [their] identity: one subordinate identity and one dominant identity.”
Beacon received a chart that is given to students to define certain groups. The chart explains that “subordinate groups” are subjected to “social oppression” by “dominant groups”. These groups include “LGBTQ” people, “women” and religious and ethnic minorities.
“Heterosexuals, whites, able-bodied people, Christians” and “men” are the “dominant groups” to blame for “social oppression”.

“I’m being punished with an assignment because of my identity as a person,” the student told the Beacon.
The student continued, “It’s very rich that in a class where we’re supposed to be talking about identity, not identity suppression, I’m forced to suppress my own identity… I have to suppress myself because it’s assumed that being some privileged, horrible human being who isn’t grown up without food. That’s crazy to me.”
The course, offered by IU’s School of Social Work, fulfills the college’s “social and historical studies” credit requirements.
IU did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
