OPINION:
I would like to propose adding a few dedicated months to Portland Community College’s “Whiteness History Month,” 30 days in April devoted to criticizing white people (“Portland college declares April ’Whiteness History Month,’” Web, Jan. 18). Let’s devote the month of January to criticizing Judaism, February to criticizing Catholicism, March to criticizing the disabled, May to criticizing little people, June to criticizing millennials, July to criticizing baby boomers, August to criticizing the poor, September to criticizing the rich, October to criticizing conservatives and December to criticizing wounded veterans, those people who have been hurt trying to secure Americans’ freedoms.
College is supposed to be an institution of higher learning. Exactly how will promoting hatred prepare students for future endeavors in their chosen fields? The following quote from comedian Sam Levenson in response to complaints against Jews, a group from which many scientific and medical discoveries have come, comes to: “You want to be mad? Be mad! But I’m telling you, you ain’t going to feel so good!”
