Penn State Faculty Support Discrimination Against Whites
Former Pennsylvania State University English Professor Zack De Piero filed a lawsuit against his former employer on June 15 alleging that the university discriminated against him because of his skin color. De Piero resigned from Penn State in August of 2022.
Rather than support their former colleague, reported The College Fix on July 12, nearly 400 Penn State professors signed a letter defending the university’s “antiracism” practices. The “Letter in Support of Antiracist Faculty at Penn State” does not respond to the accusations in De Piero’s suit, but rather dismisses it as another example of “attacks from reactionaries who claim that curricula, programs, and initiatives aimed at promoting inclusivity and equity are racist and divisive.”
In a June interview with Fox News, De Piero said he was forced to attend a presentation entitled “White Teachers are a problem,” in which he was told that he was “inherently flawed on the basis of history.” “As a White individual, I’m somehow responsible for all the injustices and suffering currently in the world and in the history of the world,” he noted.
