| Public College Offers Blacks-Only Classes, Claims It's Totally Okay |
| 2016-08-09 |
| [Daily Caller] A community college in Illinois is trying to defend itself after it decided to offer special classes only available to black people. "College: Changes, Challenges, Choice" is a one-credit introductory course at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills, and is intended to help new students "assess your purpose for college, assess your study strategies, set college and career goals, examine your values and decision-making skills, and develop an appreciation for diversity." But while the class may want students to appreciate diversity, the school doesn’t practice what it preaches. Two sections of the class are specifically set aside exclusively for black students, who make up about 10 percent of Moraine Valley’s 34,000 students. The special classes were first reported on by The Chicago Tribune after it was notified by the parents of several students. Moraine Valley says it’s simply trying to improve the odds of success for black students, who are typically less likely to graduate from the school. |

| #6 Interesting. I live in the West suburbs and always assumed Palos * was majority minority. That's because it's usually in the news on some minority issue. With this article I decided to do a racial makeup Google search on all the Palos (Hills, Heights etc.). They are all %95 White. Not at all what I assumed! No idea what is going on here and why past stories in the media were mainly minority ones. |

| #4 The comments section at the Tribune is closed. Remarkably, not a single comment. The Tribune writer waxes prolifically about how all this is okay and a necessary course given the problems of our times. It's all about fixing problems, doncha know. |

| #1 Try having a "whites only" class. You will have the wrath of the Dept. of Injustice down on you before you can blink along with the BLM protests. Another load of PC BS. Last I knew the name of this country was the United States. We held as an ideal unity and assimilation--not diversity and division. No wonder things are getting so screwed up. |
