The University of North Carolina offers a communications course about the dangers of hate speech. However, the course’s extremely biased professor openly blames this on the political right, according to Campus Reform.

The course catalog says the class was designed “to expose students to the nature of hate in American life … [that] is sustained through the imposition of racist, sexist, and heterosexist ideologies that privilege Whiteness, maleness, and heterosexuality.”

The class, titled “Hate Speech,” is taught by Dr. Michael S. Waltman. He has written and co-authored several books about the topic, including one that “examines the strategic manipulation of hatred in [Americans’] everyday lives by politicians, political operatives, and media personalities.”

The description of the course states that hate may “be resisted through communication,” respect, and tolerance. Students will learn to recognize hate so that “knowledge of the essence of hate will place students in a position to fight hate when they encounter it in their own lives,” Campus Reform reported.

Waltman has received many awards for his articles and publications about hate speech and the political right. Many of his publications focus on “white supremacist terrorism” and responding to hate from the right.

The class has been offered on the Chapel Hill campus during the spring semester for students of any major since 2010, UNC Undergraduate Student Services confirmed to Campus Reform. Forty-four students enrolled in the course this spring semester.
