The Elon University School of Education invited “white identifying” students to participate in a white caucus to discuss race without distressing people of color, according to an email first reported by Young America’s Foundation.
The document said it was urgent for white-identifying students to attend the white caucus, scheduled to meet online Feb. 16, because it takes a step toward making equity-minded leaders in education.
The email also adds that white caucusing shows commitment to anti-racism, and is important for whites who care about racial justice, according to the document obtained by Young America’s Foundation.

Republican Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville questioned Democrats’ spending of millions on impeachment “when Americans are out of work” in a Wednesday video.
The Alabama senator said Trump’s first impeachment amounted to more than “$3 million dollars over three months” from American taxpayers, according to the video.
“Not only does this trial set a dangerous precedent by impeaching a private citizen, but it is also costing the American taxpayers money when we all know what the result will be in the end,” Tuberville said in the video.
The House voted 232-197 on Jan. 13 to impeach Trump a second time, charging him with a single article of “incitement of insurrection.”

“Every year, we’ll see guests and visitors from the area,” Fr. Ben Hasse, Director of Campus Ministry for St. Albert The Great Parish, told WLUC TV-6. “Often, students will bring their parents, and we get to meet their parents. Students will bring their friends. It’s been a great opportunity to welcome people, to meet them, and to pray with them.”
