A public university in Washington state is looking for advice on how to rid itself of white people.<\/p>\n

According to Campus Reform,Western Washington University included a survey in its daily newsletter that read: How do we make sure that in future years \u201cwe are not as white as we are today?\u201d<\/p>\n

Several links offering additional information are listed below the question, including a link to a blog post from Western Washington University President Bruce Shepard, who believes the school will have \u201cfailed\u201d if the number of white students remains constant in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

Campus Reform included a quote from a 2012 Shepard address:<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year, from this stage and at this time, you have heard me say that, if in decades ahead, we are as white as we are today, we will have failed as university.\u201d<\/p>\n

The obsession with skin color is on full display in Shepard\u2019s blog post.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the decades ahead, should we be as white as we are today, we will be relentlessly driven toward mediocrity; or, become a sad shadow of our current self,\u201d he wrote in explaining his position.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s enough to make one wonder if white students walk around campus with their heads hung in shame, apologizing for bringing failure upon the school. How is it possible for a student not be judged by the color of their skin in an environment where their value is directly attributed to their skin pigmentation?<\/p>\n

Pointing to the \u201crapidly decreasing\u201d number of high school graduates the school has \u201ctraditionally drawn upon\u201d \u2014 code for white people? \u2014 Shepard insists \u201dit\u2019s not about keeping whites out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is about whether we will have the wisdom, the culture, the commitment, to be able to attract a sufficient number of students from diverse backgrounds,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the marginalization of white people to correct the marginalization of people of color continues unabated on college campuses across America. But then, isn\u2019t that what critical race theory is all about?<\/p>\n

Perhaps Western Washington University should just hang a sign it\u2019s door that reads \u201cwhites need not apply.\u201d<\/p>\n
