University of Wisconsin Law School's Mandatory Seminar on Race and Privilege Sparks Controversy

The seminar, led by 'social justice educator' Joey Oteng, has been criticized for its focus on race and the assertion that 'there are no exceptional White people'.

First-year students at the University of Wisconsin Law School were reportedly required to attend a mandatory 're-orientation' seminar that focused on race and privilege.
The seminar, led by 'social justice educator' Joey Oteng, allegedly instructed students that 'there are no exceptional White people' and criticized the concept of 'colorblindness' as inherently racist.
Students were asked to review materials prior to the seminar, including an article on '28 Common Racist Attitudes and Behaviors' and a 'Race Timeline Worksheet'.
The seminar has been criticized by some, including the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty President and General Counsel Rick Eisenberg, who called it 'nonsense that ignores the rule of law and true equality'.
The law school's spokesman, John Lucas, stated that the seminar was held in partial fulfillment of the American Bar Association's requirement for law schools to provide education on 'bias, cross-cultural competency, and racism.'
