Hat tip The College Fix
There are too few professors in academia like this one. Michael Pearson of Portland (Oregon) Community College has challenged "Whiteness History Month" at his school.

Here is the actual letter to the campus paper. I have joined in the reader comment thread.

I added my own unique perspective. It appears that there must be some sort of moderation before a comment appears. Basically, I said I'm opposed to "White Studies" because it just encourages people to contemplate the color of their navel. Don't go to "Whiteness" Month, stop being white. Throw the label away.
