Teacher at UPenn Calls on Black Women First, White Males Last

But only if she has to.

Segregation is back in vogue in 2017 thanks to the wokest among us. The latest example comes by way of Stephanie McKellop, a teacher’s assistant at the University of Pennsylvania, who according to The Daily Caller, likes to prioritize her classroom in order of skin color and gender.

This Ivy League Ph.D. history major explained on her private Twitter account that she will always call on black women first and white males last, but only if she has to:

"I will always call on my black women students first. Other POC get second tier priority. WW come next. And, if I have to, white men."

McKellop said she learned this divisive technique from a former professor she considered to be “amazing.”

The DC published other unlisted tweets from the TA’s account, explaining her approach:

“In normal life, who has the easiest time speaking, most opportunities? Flip it.”

“The classroom is the place YOU get to control social setting. Prioritize and encourage voices who are talked over most often.”

But it seems as though UPenn isn’t as woke as this student and isn’t fond of her racist practices:

 

Here is that statement:

The university’s policies prohibiting discrimination are intended to reinforce our commitment to equity and inclusion. We are looking into the current matter involving a graduate-student teaching assistant to ensure that our students were not subjected to discriminatory practices in the classroom and to ensure that all of our students feel heard and equally engaged. Contrary to some reports, the graduate student has not been removed from the program, and we have and will continue to respect and protect the graduate student’s right to due process.

McKellop describes herself as “a Queer disabled feminist” and apparently uses “they/their” as her preferred pronouns in her bio:

They research folk customs and rituals of marriage, divorce, sex, bodies, and bodywork in cultural contact zones of “Vast Early America” as well as the meaning of family in racial and cultural comparison. Specifically, their dissertation will focus on practices of self-marriage and self-divorce in “backcountry” spaces, with an emphasis on wife-selling. Their personal-activist research centers around issues of class, poverty, first generation/low income, mental illness, disability, race, gender, and sexuality, especially in pedagogical contexts and regarding students’ rights.

Their sounds like they got a bright future ahead of them.
