White Students To The Back Of The Bus, Please
University of South Dakota trying to intimidate and silence majority voices in the classroom.

The University of South Dakota is taking a bit of heat after posing questions to its law students about whether non-minority voices were “taking up space” in class discussions. In a slide presentation, students were asked a series of questions via a flowchart, and their answers determined whether they were “taking up space” or “contributing to a space” in the classroom.
The first question on the chart sets the tone: “Will you be representing a relative minoritized identity?” If your response is yes, the next one delves deeper to make sure you are being honest: “Do you have enough perspective to represent that identity?” If you answer yes to both questions, congratulations, you are not taking up space. The conclusion seems to be: If you are a minority, you have earned your place, go to the head of the class. If you are a member of the majority, you are simply stifling and crowding out more deserving minority voices, keep quiet.
Not everyone is onboard with this type of skewed agenda-setting. Kevin Shieffer, president of the South Dakota Board of Regents, said he was opening an investigation into the diversity offices in state universities. The goal is to ascertain if such school policies push a left-leaning political agenda.
