The program includes a 21-day equity challenge and an \u201cally nudge\u201d initiative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to an email obtained by The Daily Wire, students were asked to join a 21-day equity challenge through the group America &#038; Moore. The equity challenge asks students to read, watch, and listen about \u201cwhite privilege and white supremacy\u201d every day for 21 days. Suggested reading includes books such as \u201cHow White People Got Made,\u201d which explores where the term \u201cwhite people\u201d came from and how ethnic groups have been unable to become \u201cwhite,\u201d and \u201cExplaining White Privilege to a Broke White Person,\u201d which explains how race and class do not intersect for white people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Other reading includes \u201cThe Case for Reparations\u201d by Ta-Nehisi Coates and an article attacking the Trump administration for trying to rid schools of critical race theory. The article attacking Trump is entitled, \u201cWhite House Threatened Discipline for Employees Engaging in \u2018Divisive\u2019 Training, Calls for Political Watchdog,\u201d and was written by the Biden administration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The equity challenge also includes links to the New York Times\u2019 \u201c1619 Project\u201d audio series, hosted by Nikole Hannah-Jones, and links to five-minute videos on defunding the police. Another suggested video is narrated by \u201cWhite Fragility\u201d author Robin DiAngelo, who explains how \u201cwhite fragility\u201d reinforces racism.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The email boasts nearly 100 students who signed up for the courses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Students were also asked to follow a slew of social justice accounts on social media including the accounts for the Movement for Black Lives, Boston University\u2019s \u201cAnti-Racist Center\u201d run by Ibram X. Kendi, and Teaching Tolerance, a left-wing education group operated by the Southern Poverty Law Center.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>America &#038; Moore, the organization that runs the 21-day equity program, is operated by Eddie Moore, who serves as the director of the Privilege Institute. The Privilege Institute is best known for hosting a<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprivilegeinstitute.com\/copy-of-projects-resources\"><span>National White Privilege Conference<\/span><\/a><span>, which looks at issues of privilege in all facets of life from \u201crace, gender, sexuality, class, [and] disability.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The second program available to Dell Med students is the \u201cAlly Nudge Program.\u201d The program costs five dollars, all of which is funneled to the NAACP legal fund. The program sends students texts that allegedly help them become \u201canti-racist.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to the Ally Nudge<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nudgetext.com\/ally\"><span>website<\/span><\/a><span>, text message topics include learning about \u201cthe language of anti-racism,\u201d \u201cvoter suppression,\u201d how to \u201ctalk BLM w\/ non-supporters,\u201d \u201cforms of protest,\u201d and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Under the frequently asked questions section of the website, Dell Med claims the Ally Nudge program is not a political issue, but a human rights issue. \u201cAnti-racism is a human issue and not a political one. This program is designed for anyone seeking to be actively anti-racist, regardless of their political preferences,\u201d the website reads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Dell Med school said it plans to host a roundtable discussion about the equity programs at the end of February.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Dell Medical School did not respond to requests for comment in time for publication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
