Just four days after Easter, George Washington University will host a training session open to students and faculty to teach them about "Christian privilege" in America.
On Thursday, the Washington, D.C. school's Multicultural Student Services Center will host a 90-minute training session titled "Christian Privilege: But Our Founding Fathers Were All Christian, Right?!"
"How do Christians in the USA experience life in an easier way than non-Christians?" a description of the training session asks. "Even with the separation of Church and State, are there places where Christians have built-in advantages over non-Christians?"
According to a online description, the training session seeks to discuss how "we celebrate Christian identities and acknowledge that Christians receive unmerited perks from institutions and systems all across our country."
The session will be a facilitated discussion accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation. The session will allow for audience questions throughout. It will be held from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
"Let's reflect upon ways we can live up to our personal and national values that make room for all religious and secular identities on an equal playing field," the center's website explains.
