According to the presentation slide, NIU teaches its campus leaders that the following are examples of “anti-blackness”: –Justifying brutality against Black children –Assuming that violence is deserved –“All Lives Matter” or “Blue Lives Matter” –Misinformation or lies –The belief that Black people are dangerous–Anti-black institutions and policies
Despite repeated attempts to reach NIU for comment on this story, university officials declined to comment. “What YAF sought to ask Northern Illinois University—and what students and taxpayers deserve to know—is whether NIU believes that the lives of police officers matter,” stated YAF spokesman Spencer Brown. “What would the school say to prospective or current students in NIU’s applied management program’s public service emphasis geared toward training police officers—do their lives matter? Or does defending the value of their lives constitute ‘anti-blackness?’” Racist policies have no place in America, but as usual, the Left is unable or unwilling to point to any specific laws or institutions that can be addressed and the racism rooted out. Instead, on campuses as much as anywhere else, leftists attempt to further divide Americans with vague claims of institutional racism and use such claims to go after police officers–15 percent of whom are, in fact, black. The student, who wishes to remain anonymous out of fear of retribution, told YAF that the anti-police rhetoric pushed by the university is the “actual pandemic in America.” “This is the real plague on the minds of those who will one day be released into our society with the future of the country in their hands,” the student said. Taxpayers are funding this ridiculous “diversity” training that is pushing the Left’s narrative while university officials refuse to answer for their institution’s divisive rhetoric.
