Ohio State University health sciences course requires students to engage with ‘White Privilege Knapsack’
Students were required to address ‘whiteness’ and describe what the term ‘white’ means, as well as explain how they ‘navigate race’ in their daily lives.

A health sciences program offered at Ohio State University requires those who sign up for the course to take part in an array of discussions and assignments about gender and race, including one that asks students to address their privileges if they are White, heterosexual, or able-bodied.
This is in politics because wokeness is all about politics.
From this article, we can conclude that privilege is only for those who are white, heterosexual, and able bodied.
The implication is that those who do not meet the special privilege criteria need to be compensated for their misfortune and given special rights.
This means social justice demands that they be treated differently, and thus political activism will be required, whether at the federal, state, or university level.
So, is this premise correct? Is that now the definition of privilege? What about wealth? For example, perhaps the two most privileged people on the face of the planet are the daughters of Barak Obama, but they are not white. How can this be?
Secondly, with SCOTUS striking down Affirmative action, is this sort of thinking even Constitutional/legal?
