The University of Minnesota just rolled out a guide claiming America is suffering from a “Whiteness Pandemic” — and they’re teaching parents and educators how to “halt” it. No, this isn’t satire. This is an official child-development program labeling an entire racial identity as a public-health threat.
In this episode, we break down the university’s framework, the psychology jargon they’ve twisted into ideology, and the larger agenda behind turning racial politics into “science.” We dig into the research they cite, the activist networks they promote, and why academia keeps trying to re-engineer society by pathologizing everyday people.
This isn’t about fighting racism anymore. It’s about moral conditioning disguised as scholarship. And the moment universities start diagnosing millions of Americans as a pandemic, the culture war hits a whole new level.
Tonight, we dissect the “Whiteness Pandemic,” expose the worldview driving it, and talk about what happens when institutions meant to educate children start indoctrinating adults instead.
