Students were required to address ‘whiteness’ and describe what the term ‘white’ means, as well as explain how they ‘navigate race’ in their daily lives.

One such required class assignment, which was outlined in the FOIA-obtained documents related to the course, is titled “Unpack the Invisible Knapsack” and asks students to complete a series of “activities” about their “privilege.”

Friendly reminder the the NY Post is a shitty conservative rag. Can you imagine asking students in healthcare to practice empathy and self-reflection?

I was looking for a better article on the topic but I didn't find one yet. If anyone has something in mind, please add a comment and I will edit the post and add this link.

I don't think you're going to find a better article on the topic since it says it was originally from Fox News and is focused on fear-mongering and cherry-picking.

The whole article is hyper-focused on a single module, in a single elective, at a random State University (why does a NY newspaper care about this Ohio State undergrad course again?) and is clearly pushing a narrative.

Health outcomes have repeatedly been shown to be different between sexes, races, etc. This is a good thing for people in health sciences to understand.
