Don’t let News Corp get you confused: There is nothing newsworthy about mature adults having facilitated discussions about the social construction of whiteness in the United States.

Teaching Tolerance is a highly respected resource for educators run by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors and counters hate groups, including those that are anti-white.

What News Corp hasn’t been as quick to report is that most of these trainings also encourage whites to develop a positive racial identity – hardly the assault on white people they want you to believe. Read the article here and let us know what you think by contacting us here.
