Harvard's Kennedy School Adds 'Checking Your Privilege 101' to New Student Orientation

Big Government reports:
If you plan to attend Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, better get oriented for your orientation; you may be privileged.

But don’t worry; there’s always room for spiritual growth. The school is adding a class titled “Checking Your Privilege 101” because of pressure from student activists, and that class will be part of your orientation!

Lucky you! Reetu Mody, a first-year masters student in public policy and a campus activist, exclaimed, “We’re at one of the most powerful institutions in the world, yet we never critically examine power and privilege and what it means to have access to this power. We’re excited to have the administration on board for training all Harvard Kennedy School first years.”
Ironic: Harvard which hasn't been paying taxes since 1636 is talking about "checking your privilege". You can't get more privileged than that . No word yet on story from former Kennedy School Dean - who happens to be - Col. Muammar al-Gaddafi's favorite professor - Joseph S. Nye .
