Last June, columnist George Will was widely excoriated, protested, and boycotted for the simple observation that today’s colleges often make “victimhood a coveted status that confers privileges.” He was referring to the rise of bizarre and destructive policies surrounding the alleged “epidemic” in campus sexual assault; he was also, both specifically and on a broader scale, entirely correct. Unfortunately, when it comes to America’s victimhood obsession, Rachel Dolezal is just the tip of the iceberg.
Today, the concept of victimhood is so powerful that it often morphs into a cudgel. It’s now routine to read news of male college students suing their alma maters after being sanctioned for spurious rape charges. (This week’s comes from Amherst, where a student was expelled despite his “victim’s” text messages claiming full responsibility for the incident.) A new staff manual for schools affiliated with the University of California, meanwhile, displays a lengthy list of frowned-upon “micro-aggressions,” including calling America “the land of opportunity.” (This, we are told, victimizes students with the “myth of meritocracy.”)
And in other news, Charlie Blow just DESTROYS Ms. Dolezal. He might be the first liberal to do so. Most have just justified her behavior away....
