Higher (sort of) education moves nearer to irrelevance …

… Portland Community College to devote an entire month to 'whiteness'-shaming.

The WHM site makes clear that the project is not a "celebratory endeavor" like heritage months, but is rather "an effort to change our campus climate" by "[challenging] the master narrative of race and racism through an exploration of the social construction of whiteness." ("Challenging the master narrative," PCC explains, "is a strategy within higher education that promotes multicultural education and equity.")
Well, if whiteness is a construct, does that mean that blackness is, too? And where does that leave genetics? Presumably, these are people who think of themselves as heedful of science.

I suggest an immediate month devoted to PCC-ridiculing.
