A former Pennsylvania State University professor is suing the school and alleging he was subjected to racist attacks and forced to teach that 'all students see that white supremacy manifests itself in language and in writing pedagogy.'

"When he complained about the continuous stream of racial insult directed at white faculty in the writing department, the director of the Affirmative Action Office told him that ‘There is a problem with the White race,’ that he should attend ‘antiracist’ workshops ‘until you get it,’ and that he might have mental health issues," the lawsuit continues.

"This is wrong. This is discrimination," De Piero said."It's humiliating to me. It's likely humiliating to others. They're just too afraid to tell you." "There were sort of high priests of anti-racism across academia," he continued, adding,"This wasn't some interesting idea up for debate; this was the deal. This was the road."

Naydan also"instructed her writing faculty to teach that White supremacy exists in language itself, and therefore, that the English language itself is ‘racist’ and, furthermore, that White supremacy exists in the teaching of writing of English, and therefore writing teachers are themselves racist white supremacists," the lawsuit adds.
