Share this article

Was it because they ran out of whiteness to abolish? “Hunter College in New York City appears to have quietly scrapped a course exploring the link between ‘whiteness’ and ‘violence’ after widespread controversy,” Toni Airaksinen reports on the Campus Reform blog. “The course, ‘Abolition of Whiteness,’ was taught in Fall 2016 and Fall 2017 by professor Jennifer Gaboury, the Associate Director of the Women and Gender Studies Program at Hunter College, as Campus Reform reported in May 2017.”

“Following Campus Reform’s report, numerous outlets covered the class including The Daily Signal, Fox News, AOL, PJ Media, The American Spectator, The American Enterprise Institute, The Daily Caller, and others.”
