White Arizona State professor to teach 'problem of whiteness' course - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com:
"An English class now being offered at the Arizona State University gives students the opportunity to learn about the alleged “problem of whiteness” in America, Campus Reform reported Thursday.
The course being offered for the Spring 2015 semester is called “Studies in American Literature/Culture: U.S. Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness.”
The course, Campus Reform said, citing Pundit Press, is being taught by Lee Bebout, a white assistant professor of English at the college.
Students enrolling in the course will read "The Possessive Investment in Whiteness," "Critical Race Theory," "Everyday Language of White Racism," "Playing in the Dark," and "The Alchemy of Race and Rights."
