From personal experience, I know there are many many jews in the faculty and student body at George Washington University.  Unlike Georgetown University - the more well-known university in Washington - GWU has no religious affiliation, and is just a big urban school full of people from all over the world, including many many jews. 

So, in this university, where Christians are, quite possibly, a minority, we find somebody named Timothy Kane putting on an anti-non-semitic "workshop," as described below.

Sure, Kane can be a Celtic name, but, it can also be a jewish name.  https://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q=kane+jewish+name&ia=web

Of course, we would be anti-semites if we were to speculate that Timothy Kane is a jew, wouldn't we?

Check your 'Christian privilege': George Washington University hosts controversial workshop

The prestigious George Washington University in the US capital is hosting a seminar on 'Christian privilege.' The premise that white Christians benefit from "built-in advantages" in the US has sparked fury on social media.

The 'Excellence in Leadership' workshop is titled 'Christian Privilege: But Our Founding Fathers Were All Christian, Right?!' According to the university website, it will explore how Christians have an "easier" life than non-Christians in the US and benefit from "unmerited perks from institutions and systems all across our country."

By the end of the session,  participants will be able to identify "at least three examples of Christian privilege" and "at least three ways to be an ally with a non-Christian person."

In addition to religion, the workshop focuses on race, offering exploration of "white privilege." It is scheduled for Thursday, April 5, just days after the Easter holiday in the US.

The class is the brainchild of  trainer Timothy Kane from the Multicultural Student Services Center at George Washington University (GWU).

And if atoning for their "Christian privilege" is not enough, GWU students also have the chance to attend similar training sessions on "heterosexual privilege" and  "cisgender privilege."

GWU is one of the most prestigious universities in the US, chartered by Congress in 1821 in accordance with the wishes of the first US president to have a national university in the capital. It is located just a few blocks north of the State Department.

GWU is also expensive: undergraduate students cough up about $55,140 in tuition and fees for each academic year. The workshops are funded in part from these fees.

A fierce backlash against the seminar is brewing on Twitter, with one user lambasting it as "intolerance at its best."
