Sensitivity is enforced through speech codes, propaganda in the classroom, and diversity training sessions. This fall, universities will be conducting freshman orientations that will almost certainly include diversity training.
Attendance is usually mandatory and often tax-funded.
Students will watch films and participate in sociological exercises designed to shake the values they have acquired from their culture and families. The former are psychologically brutalized and the latter are psychologically empowered as a lesson in white racism. Elliott declares that the salvation of white people lies in their frank admission of guilt and their efforts to eliminate hidden racism and sexism from society. Requiring attendance to sensitivity training has caused some critics to make comparisons to Soviet psychiatry and the re-education camps of some Communist countries, such as Maoist China. It is a comparison worth pursuing.
