24: Handle with Care

Robin DiAngelo's Re-education Seminars and Academic Critique

Robin DiAngelo's seminars are described as "re-education camps" where white participants are taught to identify how they have been shaped by racism. Critics argue that DiAngelo uses her academic authority to make individual psychiatric diagnoses based on race, creating a lose-lose scenario for those who disagree. Her background at the University of Washington and her high speaking fees are highlighted as part of a "troublemaker" academic industry.
