Just have to 'identify' as a person of color. Don't have to actually be one. Senator Pocahontas, Rachel Dolezal will be all over this. Maybe Chaz Bono too if someone can figure out what the fuck that is.

I should clarify....
They're offering to pay for employees to go to college, as long as you're not white.... In the hope that they can get more 'teachers of color'.
Part of the requirement is you write an essay on how you've experienced oppression.
You mean....like not getting a scholarship because of your race?

People of color have a list of systematic advantages to make up for white privilege.
All people are equal and slight feature differences and the amount of melanin in skin cells is not a significant genetic difference.
Humans deal with cognitive dissonance in varying ways.

This is public tax money?

sounds like someone has a goal to "turn the tide" in terms of staff diversity. Sounds like it comes from a foundation. So no tax dollars. I have volunteer for TAF which is basically a foundation that pays for STEM scholarship for persons of color and under-represented communities. Nothing new here.

Just sayin......... So is "Lilly white ass". Does that mean "no one wants to see my lily white ass" would be a suitable topic for the "how I've experienced oppression" essay?

I get that's it dumb, but if it's a private foundation they can give their money however they wish.
