Ora aqui está uma iniciativa que não percebo

 

A universidade de Nova York vai organizar residências segregadas no campus a pedido de um grupo de 1.105 estudantes negros -os Black Violets- , uma pequena percentagem dos estudantes negros da universidade, porque não estão para ter que educar os colegas acerca do que é o racismo e então querem ter um espaço onde não tenham que aturar outras raças.

Pelos vistos estas petições já aconteceram em outras universidades do país.

New York University moves to implement racial segregation in student dorms

Since late June, the Office of Residential Life and Housing Services at New York University (NYU) has been working closely with a small, student-led task force to make racially segregated housing a reality in undergraduate student dorms.

A little over two months ago, a recently organized advocacy group called Black Violets created an online petition demanding that the university “implement Black student housing on campus in the vein of themed engagement floors across first-year and upperclassmen residence halls.” In its petition, the group argues that “Too often in the classroom and in residential life, black students bear the brunt of educating their uninformed peers about racism.” African American students, the group states, desperately require a “safe space” where they can escape from students, staff and faculty of other races.

This irrational and anti-scientific ideology lies at the heart of similar proposals made at several major academic institutions across the country in recent years. This includes the moves towards racially segregated housing at Syracuse University and the recent calls for the implementation of racial quotas at several elite American universities. These demands do not stem from an egalitarian and progressive desire to make education easily available for everyone and eliminate the real dangers that face the majority of students and youth (massive debt, unemployment, homelessness, hunger, poverty, etc.), but from a desire to advance the interests of a very small, privileged layer of the population.

Entretanto:

The decision to hold in-person classes at NYU will prove to be disastrous. Over the last few weeks, several major US schools, including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Notre Dame, Princeton and the University of Southern California, have been forced to revert to online instruction after explosions of COVID-19 amongst their students, staff and faculty. Despite this, NYU has decided to go ahead with a full reopening, knowingly sacrificing the lives of students staff, and faculty to increase its profits.

It is imperative that all students realize the danger they are facing in returningto school. What is needed is not the division of students along identity-based lines, but their unification against the present, barbaric social order. The fight against all forms of exploitation and oppression is inherently linked to the fight against capitalism. Students at NYU and universities around the world who seek to fight for genuine social equality must turn to the international working class, the great, powerful, progressive force in society. It is only by uniting workers of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations and nationalities behind a clear socialist program and perspective that capitalist barbarism will be overcome.
