George Washington University Teaching Students How To Combat “Christian Privilege”

Move over White Privilege

Quote:Just four days after Easter, George Washington University will host a training session for students and faculty that teaches that Christians — especially white ones — “receive unmerited perks from institutions and systems all across our country.”

The April 5 diversity workshop is titled “Christian Privilege: But Our Founding Fathers Were All Christian, Right?!”

Hosted by the university’s Multicultural Student Services Center, the event will teach that Christians enjoy a privileged, easier life than their non-Christian counterparts, and that Christians possess “built-in advantages” today, according to its online description.

The workshop will also discuss how Christians receive “unmerited perks from institutions and systems all across our country.”

The “Christian Privilege” workshop is one of 15 “free training opportunities” offered through the center to “equip students and staff with the necessary skills to promote diversity and inclusion in the different environments,” according to its website.

Other workshops offered through the center focus on “heteroesexual privilege,” “cisgender privilege,” “abled-bodied privilege,” “socio-economic privilege,” “unconscious bias,” and more.

Hey! Why don't they join the parade? It's not like Jesus said that only some individuals could be followers. On the contrary, He want's everyone to be saved and become followers. It's not like as if you're a certain color or creed that you can't join the Chrisitan community.

I guess because real Christians are heterosexual and that makes them mad. I should be mad because when they say White Christians even though I are one they probably are talking about other Whites. Humph, I should be insulted...but I'm not because they don't know what they're talking about. They're just...confused.

Join the parade brothers! Be privileged!

Yep, it's like saying it's not fair that people that enter through the right door get a $20 and people that enter through the left door don't get anything while totally ignoring the sign that says "all are welcome to enter through the right door".

If Christians have any privilege it's the privilege of standing in God's grace, which is the only privilege I need.

Christian Privilege ? What, like Christians being burned alive ? Like being fed to the lions ? Like being be-headed ?

Say, GW, Mother Teresa didn't "check her privilege" because she was too busy caring for orphans.

If it wasn't for Christianity, these idiots in college wouldn't have the privilege to bellyache so much in the first place.....

Hey here's an idea........

Make your own privilege and stop worrying about and blaming everyone else. Maybe work hard, get good grades and be better than the person you are up against.... i know, i know it is easier to blame others....... Never mind.

Yep. Amazing I know, but I guess I never realized how the bolded above behaviors were reserved only for white, male, christian, heterosexual people.

Bottom line, there is a way to a decent life in this country by behaving in certain ways and ANYONE can choose to partake........or not.

Those that choose the "not" need some reason for failing to get along in American society - and obviously those in academia are willing to foster that feeling by fleecing idiots of their money so they feel better.

George Washington University Teaching Students How To Combat “Christian Privilege”
A place like GWU talking to folks about their “privilege”.

So, let me get this straight- Earl the truck driver, married, couple of kids at home, loves his wife, they go to Church eachSunday. At least those that he’s home. Otherwise he’s on the road six days a week to make the payments on the truck, the mortgage, car payment and exorbitant health insurance costs.

Meanwhile, at one of the MOST expensive, private university’s in the Nation, likely costing more annually than Earl makes in a year, with an endowment approaching 2 BILLION dollars, and the largest landowner in DC aside from the federal government...

These people are gonna tell others, including Earl if given the chance, about THEIR privilege?!?

El O El O El.

Someone please tell me this a bad, delayed April fools joke. Gotta be kidding me.

RE: George Washington University Teaching Students How To Combat “Christian Privilege”
I heard part of an interview about this with a college reporter this morning. After about 2 minutes and the list of stats that were put on the screen, it became apparent to me that Christians have "privilege" because of our religious freedom in the US. It seemed to me they were drawing a conclusion that because Christians can practice freely in the US and aren't subject to persecution as they are in many countries around the world, Christians are emboldened to talk about their faith and could be seen as 'pushing' it on others. Likewise Christian owned companies make known their beliefs that can also be seen as oppressive to non-Christians.

Personally I think all this is a load of crap. Left-wing talking points trying to change the language and find a new group of people to attack.

They're not, but whenever you hear one of the "you got ahead because of ____ privilege" crowd talk it always comes down to that fact that I'm straight, white, and a male, NOT because of the things I listed.

OR

They'll give some snide remark..... "Weeeeeellllll, that's the response I'd expect from a straight, white, male who's got to where they are BECAUSE of privilege".

I got your privilege, right over here......

I didn't know that Christian owned businesses cornered the market on so many things things to the point that non-christian owned businesses could not compete or own the same things? I am not [in almost any way] a Christian and I have never felt oppressed or unable to do business with any type of company because I am not a believer?

If that were the case, THAT would be an excuse, not oppression.
