'Professor' criticized her students’ belief in “meritocracy” and “hard work”

A Pennsylvania State University-Brandywine professor criticized her students’ belief in “meritocracy” and “hard work” in an academic article published Thursday.

Angela Putman, who teaches public speaking at Penn State-Brandywine, designed a comprehensive three-day seminar on “white privilege” for her students, then interviewed 12 attendees on their belief in meritocracy and equal opportunity.

"Whiteness ideologies may be reproduced through a general acceptance and unchallenging of norms."  
To her dismay, :) Putman discovered that these “whiteness ideologies” were widely endorsed by students, many of whom agreed that “if I work hard, I can be successful” and that “everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve success.”

  1. She was dismayed by the statements,“if I work hard, I can be successful” and that “everyone has an equal opportunity to achieve success.” And these are "whiteness ideologies?

    What, should everyone just sit on their asses, do nothing, and have the Gov. spoon feed 'em from cradle to grave?

    Again, liberalism is an obvious mental illness!
