Here’s That Wonderful ‘White Privilege’ Course US Army Soldiers Had to Take

John Bickley

On Wednesday, Judicial Watch unveiled the details of a “white privilege” course that hundreds of U.S. Army soldiers were forced to take in April 2015. The class instructed the soldiers on one of the social justice movement’s pet themes: that American society is “organized according to race,” with the “white and male and heterosexual” citizens given special “privileges.”

The white privilege slideshow-based course was presented to 400 soldiers in the 67th Signal Battalion at Fort Gordon, Georgia, on April 2, 2015. Judicial Watch obtained a copy of it in response to a Freedom of Information Act request they sent out after word of the reportedly “unsanctioned” course leaked out last year. Judicial Watch posted the contents of that “Equal Opportunity” slideshow course Wednesday (full text below).
