Kelbie Murphy, a senior at the University of North Georgia, shared a video on social media exposing a textbook assigned in one of her courses that labels Christianity as a ‘U.S.-based white supremacist group.‘
Murphy shared in the video, “I’m in International Public Relations. I was told to reach chapter eight this week of ‘International Public Relations: Negotiating Culture, Identity and Power.’ I just opened it to chapter eight about five minutes ago, and I have been sitting here in awe.”
“Chapter eight is titled, ‘Contested Identities, Shifting Publics in a Globalized World.’”
“I’m going to read you what I just read, and where I stopped. I think it’s the second sentence, maybe the third?”
“Identity may be one of the most contentious words of the new millennium. An Internet search produces the following modifiers
for identity: corporate, sexual, digital, public, racial, national, brand, and even Christian (a U.S.-based white supremacist group). The same search finds identity used as a modifier for theft, management, and theory.”
“I’m pissed.”
