Makes working at McDonald’s look good. “At Oberlin College, students interested in social justice can apply for a job teaching their classmates about microaggressions and the nature of oppression,” Robby Soave writes on the Reason.com blog. “The position is called ‘Social Justice Education Facilitator,’ pays $8.15 an hour, and requires ‘knowledge on the various forms of oppression, including but not limited to: race, gender, sexuality, ability, class, citizenship, etc.,’ according to the listing on the college’s website. Students chosen for the job will be expected to help run the Multicultural Resource Center’s various training modules: Power, Privilege, and Oppression Training; Beyond the Binary Training; and Microaggression Training.
“Note that the center is not an academic department. It’s an administrative office run by an assistant dean of students.”
