Arizona State University offers course on the ‘Problem of Whiteness’

The Washington Times reports:

Arizona State University is offering an English course this semester that promises to explore critical race theory and the “problem of whiteness” in American literature and culture.

“U.S. Race Theory & the Problem of Whiteness” is being taught by ASU assistant professor Lee Bebout, who is white, Campus Reformreported.


There's more:
“I think it shows the significant double standard of higher education institutions,” James Malone, a junior economics major, told Campus Reform. “They would never allow a class talking about the problem of ‘blackness.’ And if they did, there would be an uproar about it. But you can certainly harass people for their apparent whiteness.”

Is Arizona State University violating Title 9 by creating a threatening and hostile learning environment for white students?
