Stanford U Offered Sessions In ‘Ending The Racial Terror’

In August, Stanford University’s Office of Religious Life invited two speakers to speak at numerous sessions for an event titled, “Sitting with the Trouble: Spiritual Tools for Ending the Racial Terror.” The event description claimed it is “nearly impossible” to think outside of “white supremacy.”

As Campus Reform reports, Rev. Lynce Pinkard and Nichola Torbett spoke every Monday in August; the event description stated, “How do we get free from a captivity in which razor-wire tentacles wrap themselves around every facet of our personal and institutional life? White supremacy so permeates our institutions, policies, practices, and ways of knowing that it is nearly impossible to think outside it. The prosaic solutions of governing bodies do virtually nothing–often less than nothing–to mitigate the everyday, ongoing devastation.”
