A private liberal arts women’s college in Northampton, Massachusetts, is offering a course called, “White Supremacy in the Age of Trump” in the spring, as President-elect Trump returns to the White House.”This course analyzes the history, prevalence and current manifestations of the white supremacist movement by examining ideological components, tactics and strategies, and its relationship to mainstream politics,” the course description says.”Students research and discuss the relationship between white supremacy and white privilege, and explore how to build a human rights movement to counter the white supremacist movement in the U.S. Students develop analytical writing and research skills while engaging in multiple cultural perspectives. The overall goal is to develop the capacity to understand the range of possible responses to white supremacy, both its legal and extralegal forms,” it continues.The four-credit course, offered by the college since 2019, is also available to students at Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College and the University of Massachusetts Amherst through Massachusetts’ Five College Consortium program.COLLEGE CONSERVATIVE SPEAKS OUT ON THREATS AGAINST TRUMP SUPPORTERS ON CAMPUS: ‘WIDESPREAD PATTERN’In previous years, the course syllabus included required readings from “antiracist” academics, Ta-Nehisi Coates and Robin DiAngelo. One paper assignment asked students to answer the question, “How did the ideology of white supremacy help elect Donald Trump and what did the 2016 election teach us?” and “Why is liberal democracy jeopardized by white supremacy?”The course has been taught since 2019 by Loretta J. Ross, a visiting associate professor at Smith College. Ross, a social justice activist who was once the school’s “Activist-in-Residence,” has “dedicated many years to advocating for women’s rights and reproductive justice,” and is credited with helping coin the phrase, “reproductive justice,” according to the National Women’s History Museum.Ross has previously blamed Trump’s 2016 election on backlash to the civil rights movement.”What we are witnessing is what happened after the success of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. The people who felt they had lost control of this democracy and their determination to protect white privilege and white supremacy developed a multi-decade plan to regain power,” she wrote in a 2017 post on her website.”To implement this plan, they pulled together not only people who had been resistant to the civil rights movement, the diehard segregationists, but they also thought that they needed to foment culture wars against LGBT rights, women’s rights, abortion rights, immigrants, workers’ rights, environmental justice. They just perfected the politics of white grievance against modernity,” the post continued.CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWSSmith College and Professor Ross did not respond to a request for comment.When asked what prompted the college to offer the course by Campus Reform, a spokesperson for the school cited its Statement on Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression, stating that “The faculty of Smith College may pursue freely any subject of intellectual or artistic inquiry and shall not be subject to censorship, discipline or intimidation.””Faculty are entitled to full freedom in creative work and research, and in sharing the results through publication, performance and exhibition. In the classroom, faculty are similarly free to determine the relevant content and manner of learning for the subject matter of their expertise, consistent with professional standards,” the statement read.The spokesperson also told Campus Reform that “faculty propose courses based on their own initiatives and interests, and courses are approved for addition to the catalog by the Committee on Academic Priorities.”CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

Dr. Anthony Fauci joined Georgetown University’s faculty last year as a “distinguished university professor” but has yet to teach a single course, a new report says.Georgetown announced in the summer of 2023 that Dr. Fauci, the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, would be serving as “a Distinguished University Professor in the School of Medicine’s Department of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases,” as well as an appointment at the university’s McCourt School of Public Policy.Georgetown calls the role bestowed on Fauci its “most significant professional honor” that is reserved for faculty members “whose extraordinary accomplishments in scholarship, teaching and service have earned them significant recognition in the Academy.”However, as the College Fix reported on Friday, Fauci appears to have not taught any courses at the school since his appointment.ELITE DC UNIVERSITY REPORTEDLY PROVIDING ‘SELF-CARE SUITE’ FOR STUDENTS STRESSED ABOUT ELECTION RESULTSFox News Digital reviewed the course catalog available on Georgetown’s website going back to the Summer 2023 semester and didn’t find any course listed with Fauci as an instructor since that time.The private Jesuit college said Fauci would “participate in medical and graduate education and engage with students,” in its initial announcement.Since his appointment, Fauci has “given lectures, seminars and fireside chats for undergrads and for students and others from the School of Medicine, School of Health, School of Public Policy, Law Center and Walsh School of Foreign Service,” instead of teaching, according to an August interview with The Georgetowner. He also “made himself available for one-on-one meetings. ”Fauci also joined the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown as a “Distinguished Senior Scholar” in April 2024. Georgetown said that Fauci would advance “the right to health” and provide “a critical perspective on identifying and responding to urgent national and global public health concerns” in this additional position.As the public face of the federal government’s coronavirus pandemic response, Fauci has come under scrutiny for his handling of the pandemic. He faced renewed criticism this month after a report detailing the findings of a two-year congressional investigation into the pandemic was released.The congressional subcommittee report found that the virus most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, and that social distancing and masking were not backed with scientific data.The report said Fauci “played a critical role in disparaging the lab-leak theory” among top scientific circles early in 2020 and later to the public. His congressional testimony to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., the report states, misled the public regarding National Institute of Health funding of gain-of-function research at coronavirus labs. Politico reported earlier this month that President Biden is considering preemptive pardons for Fauci and other political figures ahead of President-elect Trump’s return to the White House in January.Georgetown did not respond to Fox News Digital’s questions about Fauci’s professor role or salary.Fox News’ Danielle Wallace and Stephen Sorace contributed to this report.

On any given Saturday morning in the parking lot of the Boynton Beach Mall in Florida, hundreds of drivers line up in their vehicles, eager to receive a meal.”These are everyday people. They have jobs,” Charles Bender told Fox News Digital. “They’re just not getting by.”Bender is founding CEO of Place of Hope, a faith-based organization providing programs and services to children and families in five Florida counties.AS HUNGER NUMBERS INCREASE, FOOD PANTRIES IN AMERICA MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER”Every Saturday of the month, we serve families in desperate need of food and nutritional supplies – and that’s quite a number,” Bender said. “So, we’re out there every Saturday and just trying to meet their needs.”The initiative started earlier this year. After about three months, Bender said, Place of Hope had served more than a million pounds of food. Through December, that number has grown to over 2 million.Place of Hope volunteers gather for a few hours every Saturday morning to provide those waiting in line with essential food and drink – all for free.”There’s no pre-vetting,” Bender said. “These are just people who have need … and volunteers are there to load their cars with donated goods.”FOOD IN FOCUS AS NHL TEAM HELPS FEED HUNGRY RESIDENTS THROUGH GOALS SCOREDThe donated items come from area businesses, grocery stores like Publix and Trader Joe’s and even the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Bender said.”We’re talking solid, nutritious meals for families – produce and meats and chicken and all kinds of different things, some canned foods,” he said.On one Saturday in late September, volunteers were sorting donation items that had been unloaded from refrigerated trucks and palates.Among the donated food and drinks were cucumbers, squash, potatoes, meat, bread, cheese, milk and juice. There was even baby food.Before the line opened, the volunteers gathered around a pastor who led them in prayer. Then it was time to go to work.Volunteers work assembly line-style, filling each open trunk with breakfast, lunch and dinner foods, along with water and soft drinks, as vehicles slowly make their way along each designated stop. It takes about two-and-a-half minutes from start to finish.BAGELS, A GO-TO BREAKFAST, CAN BE MADE HEALTHIER BY CHOOSING THESE VARIETIES AND SPREADS, EXPERTS SAYVehicles often line up before sunrise – hours before the distribution begins – just to secure a spot.”People are hurting,” Bender said. “Who wants to wait in line for food on a Saturday? But if you have to, you will.”The first driver who made it through the line that Saturday identified himself as Mike, declining to provide his last name. He told Fox News Digital that he’s disabled and was grateful to Place of Hope for lending a helping hand.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER”I thank God they’re doing this,” he said. “It’s a good thing they’re doing. It really helps a lot.”The great-grandfather called it “a blessing.”Place of Hope isn’t just feeding families on Saturdays. The organization also provides meals throughout the week for foster families in the area.For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle”It’s just good people coming together to meet this need,” Bender said.That need is most noticeable on Saturday mornings in an otherwise sparse mall parking lot. “These are everyday people of all walks of life [who] just need that little extra help because, four years ago, it didn’t look like this,” Bender said. “It didn’t feel like this.”

It’s been rather commonplace to say that the 13-1 Kansas City Chiefs should not be what their record is – but that’s just fuel to the fire for the back-to-back champions.Sure, the Chiefs have won multiple games on their last possession, and the ball has bounced their way plenty of times – literally and figuratively.But Chiefs safety Justin Reid, quite literally, is thanking those who doubt what the Chiefs can do in the playoffs.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM”Thanks for the motivation. We appreciate the motivation that people give us,” Reid told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. “Despite winning two championships in a row, despite everything that they said last year, they still don’t believe. And we appreciate it. That fires us up when we hear it. I like the extra motivation. It gets me fired up, and it gets me to go out there to prove a point.”They don’t ever have to [learn]. We’ll just keep showing up.”Reid has won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs, but his ring back in February wasn’t the only championship he won this year. He also took home Chess.com’s BlitzChamps title. Reid was always intrigued with chess but took it more seriously when he got into the NFL – and now, it’s become somewhat of a staple in the locker room.”We have a tradition where we play every night before the game. Right when we finish team meetings, I have a chess board sitting at my locker, guys come, and we play quick five-minute games. Guys from the front office come down, players play, and if you win, you stay, you lose, you get back in line,” Reid said.’JEOPARDY!’ CONTESTANTS BEFUDDLED BY FINAL CLUE RIPPING JETS’ SUPER BOWL DROUGHTThe safety added it’s become a combination of both superstition and firing up the brain before a game.”You can’t always be too deep in anything. It’s nice to get your mind off one subject and do something else. I think it’s fun for that and it has become a bit of a tradition that we just always do that now,” he says.NFL Films will be releasing a documentary about Reid’s chess title and how other NFL stars have gotten involved. The title also gave Reid the ability to raise money for his own charity.”Everyone uses the same ‘it’s a game of chess’ whether it’s football or business or whatever’s going on,” Reid said, adding it’s a good way for people to connect. “It’s a way of using tactics and being three steps ahead of your opponent. It’s fun they’re promoting it. I think that it’s good, and I think it’s a fun game for anyone to play.”Reid faces his former Houston Texans on Saturday afternoon as the Chiefs are in the final homestretch. And considering he’s a back-to-back reigning champ, he knows exactly what it takes to bring home another Lombardi Trophy.”You want to be playing your best football going into the playoffs, and we don’t feel like we’ve played our best football yes, which is great,” said Reid. “There’s still ways to build, still things to do to keep getting better. It’s just about not being satisfied and the preparation each week. The physical side will take care of itself, but whoever’s mentally prepared and doesn’t make those mental mistakes when the pressure’s on is going to be the difference. We’ve been here before, we’ll just keep continuing to do it.” Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
