Angry White Male Studies at University of Kansas
The University of Kansas is offering a new course titled "Angry White Male Studies" within its Humanities department.

Despite social media backlash, students on campus expressed interest, and the course is expected to fill its 15-student capacity quickly.
Straight White Males, Franchise Prohibition, Democracy
A controversial clip features a guest on a news program suggesting that the only hope for American democracy is to prohibit straight white males from voting. The speaker claims this demographic supported Donald Trump by 85% and that removing their franchise would "save" the country. The hosts mock the absurdity of the proposal and the reaction it has garnered on right-wing talk shows.
Michael Moore, American Original Sins Speech
Filmmaker Michael Moore called for a cleansing of the "American soul" from white male privilege and racist greed. He argued that the United States was founded on genocide and slavery, and that Donald Trump is the inevitable result of a decades-long corporate takeover of democracy.
DNC Discriminatory Hiring Email, Madeline Leder, Anti-White Bias
A leaked internal email from Madeline Leder, head of technology at the DNC, explicitly stated a preference for not hiring "cisgender straight white males." The email, which sought to fill multiple high-level tech positions, is criticized as illegal and bigoted. The hosts argue that the Democratic Party's focus on identity over skill will lead to a poorly staffed and ineffective organization.
The Safety Pin Movement and Gender Identity in Schools
A YouTube clip by Shelly Carradine explains the "Safety Pin Movement" as a way to show support for women, people of color, and the LGBT community. The hosts discuss the potential psychological impact of social justice messaging on young white males in the education system.
A listener from Escondido, California, shares her son's experience with a teacher who uses "Feminazi speak" and promotes the concept of "male privilege." The hosts discuss the current cultural climate where being a white male is increasingly portrayed as a "crime." They critique the lack of male representation in the media and the political videos shown at the Correspondents Dinner.
