Indiana University (IU) is teaching students that they are inherently “oppressors” because of their race, sex and religion, documents show.

According to the school’s website, the course “Understanding Diversity in a Pluralistic Society” prompts students to examine “theories and models” in order to “enhance understanding of our diverse society.”

The course “provides content about differences and similarities in the experiences, needs, and beliefs of selected minority groups and their relation to the majority group.”

It added that the “groups include, but are not limited to, people of color, women, and gay, lesbian, and bisexual persons.”

ONLY 20% OF UNIVERSITY FACULTY SAY A CONSERVATIVE WOULD FIT IN WELL IN THEIR DEPARTMENT: REPORT

The Free Beacon first reported that the class instructor Colleen Rose prompts students to compose an “in-depth reflection of two parts of [their] identity: one subordinate identity and one dominant identity.”

The Beacon obtained a chart that’s given to students to define certain groups. The chart explains that “subordinate groups” are subject to “social oppression” by the “dominant groups.” These groups include “LGBTQ” people, “women,” and religious and ethnic minorities.

“Heterosexual, White, Able-bodied People, Christian,” and “Men” are “dominant groups” guilty of “social oppression.”

A student told the Beacon that they had to “make something up” to complete an activity.

“I’m being punished through an assignment for my identity as a person,” the student told the Beacon.

The student went on to say, “It’s very rich that in a class where we are supposed to be talking about identity and not suppressing identity, I’m forced to suppress my own identity… I have to suppress myself because I’m presumed to be some privileged, horrible human being that didn’t grow up without food. That’s insane to me.”

The course, offered by IU’s School of Social Work, fulfills credit requirements for the college’s “social and historical studies.”

IU did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The program consists of classes that address topics like “sex work” and “queer spaces.” The course incorporates topics like “erotic dance,” “pornography” and more, according to the university’s online course listing.

The Kansas City Chiefs gave their fans a gift on Christmas with a win that clinched a first-round bye in the playoffs. 

The Chiefs rolled over the Pittsburgh Steelers, 29-10, clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC on Christmas Day.

Kansas City started out fast and never looked back, going up 13-0 after scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions.

It looked like the Steelers were going to respond immediately when running back Jaylen Warren had an 8-yard rushing touchdown, but it was called back due to a holding penalty.

On the play after the penalty, Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson threw an interception in the end zone, and the Steelers missed out on a chance to cut into the lead. 

Despite getting stopped in the red zone, Wilson had success on the next drive.

The Steelers quarterback scrambled for a 1-yard rushing touchdown, capping an 11-play, 72-yard drive to make the score 13-7.

After halftime, the teams traded field goals to make it 16-10, and then the Chiefs pulled away. 

Patrick Mahomes engineered an 11-play, 77-yard drive that ended with a Kareem Hunt 2-yard rushing touchdown to make it 22-10 after the Chiefs’ two-point conversion was unsuccessful. 

On the ensuing drive, Steelers’ tight end Pat Freiermuth fumbled on the Steelers 34-yard line, setting up the Chiefs with great field position. 

Mahomes capitalized on the fumble, finding a wide open Travis Kelce for a touchdown to make it 29-10. 

Kelce’s touchdown reception was the 77th of his career, passing Tony Gonzalez for the most touchdown receptions in Chiefs franchise history.

Mahomes completed 29 of 38 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns. 

Kelce had eight catches for 84 yards and a touchdown, while rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy had eight catches for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs’ win. 

The loss for the Steelers is critical for their AFC North title chances. If the Baltimore Ravens win over the Houston Texans in the second half of the NFL’s Christmas Day doubleheader, the Ravens would have the inside track over the Steelers for the AFC North title. 

Wilson threw for 205 yards and an interception and ran the ball six times for 55 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Steelers wide receiver George Pickens had three catches for 50 yards in his return after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury.

Both teams were playing their third game in 11 days. 

The Chiefs’ final regular-season game will not matter since they have already clinched the No. 1 seed, but it may matter to their opponent. The division rival Denver Broncos might be fighting for their playoff lives, depending on Week 17’s outcome. 

The Steelers host the surging Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18.

A Kansas businessman is making spirits bright and continuing a 21-year-long Christmas tradition by helping provide meals to those in need – even while going through a battle with his own health. 

“This has been such a special time, and we really couldn’t have done all of this without the community,” Shawn Holiday, co-owner and wife of Doug Holiday, said, describing their family tradition. “But our boys, this is all they’ve ever known since they were little. 

Doug and Shawn Holiday opened the popular Lawrence, Kansas, barbecue spot in 2004 and that’s when they were first approached by the First United Methodist Church for help.

“Since 2004, we’ve been doing this on Christmas Eve. This is what we do. We come in, get the turkeys, clean them out, get them ready to be put in the smoker. If the weather’s bad, the boys and Doug will spend the night here to make sure that all the process for the smoking goes through perfectly,” Shawn Holiday said while explaining the process of getting the dinners ready. 

HERE’S THE CHRISTMAS TOWN WHERE SANTA’S ELVES ANSWER THOUSANDS OF LETTERS

This year marks their 21st year of helping prepare meals for the church. In the two decades since they began, Doug says they have cooked over 1,300 turkeys and fed more than 20,000 people.

“So that’s a pretty good record I think,” Doug said with a chuckle.

But this year has been harder than most on the Holiday family. 

Doug Holiday, a three-time cancer survivor, was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the beginning of 2024.

“You just got to keep moving forward. I had a different kind of cancer in 2014 and we did the same thing. My boys chipped in… I got three boys. Now they’re all grown and they all come back and help. And it means a lot to me,” Doug Holiday said, choking back tears.

JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, HUSBAND RECEIVES MIRACULOUS ‘GODWINK’: ‘COMPLETELY HEALED’

Doug Holiday has battled Non-Hodgskin’s lymphoma and melanoma cancer in the past. 

Despite his health battles, Doug said this tradition with his family and the community is what he looks forward to most every holiday season.

“It means the world to me. It really does and makes it so special for me [sharing this with his family] I can’t describe it, it’s a very emotional time,” Doug Holiday said. 

Shawn Holiday said the need for the meals continues to grow in the Lawrence community, and she is constantly amazed by the support they continue to receive each year for this event.

“It seems like the need keeps growing for the past few years. And so it’s really nice that everybody does jump in to help out the people that need it. I mean, we’ve had things in our personal lives that have, you know, gone sideways. But even if Doug is not feeling well, he would never let the community down,” Shawn Holiday said. 

Shawn added that even their customers have joined in on the holiday giving through the years. 

“We have customers that come in and drop off bags, and they bring in turkeys to donate for the community dinner. I mean, it’s a whole project that everybody does, and it really is an amazing experience,” Shawn continued.

“It shows the amazing people that live in Lawrence, Kansas, and how everyone can get together and for one cause and help each other. And that’s what’s the neat thing about the whole thing. That’s what’s neat about Lawrence, Kansas,” Doug Holiday echoed his wife. 

Doug shared that what makes this all even more special is that he has seen his three grown sons, Seth, Jacob and Ben continue to show up each year and continue the family’s tradition.

“All the boys have grown up. What is amazing is that when we first started this in 2004, it would take 4 to 5 hours probably for us to prepare the turkeys and get them ready for the smoker. And it’s taking less and less time now that they’ve grown,” Doug shared.

“It’s been very, very satisfying for me to know that my sons care and want to help. It’s something I look forward to every year.” 

Anyone wanting to contribute to the community dinner can make donations to the First United Methodist Church of Lawrence, Kansas, or the American Cancer Society.

The Kansas City Chiefs got the scoring started early in their Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers Wednesday afternoon.

Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs went up 6-0.

NFL officials penalized Worthy for the play. But fans were confused as to why the flag was thrown. Some suggested Worthy may have been pretending to have a gun on him. Gun-themed celebrations have been a point of contention with players.

Mahomes threw his second touchdown pass of the game, an 11-yarder to wide receiver Justin Watson, later in the first quarter.

The Chiefs have had struggles all season but still had a 14-1 record entering the Week 17 matchup against the Steelers. 

Worthy has been a bright spot for a receiving corps that’s been decimated by injuries. He has 51 catches for 559 yards and five touchdown catches this season. He also has three rushing touchdowns.

Last week, Worthy had seven catches for 65 yards and a touchdown catch against the Houston Texans. It was the second straight week he received double-digit targets. Before the game against the Cleveland Browns, he hadn’t had more than eight targets in a single game.

Former NFL linebacker Bill Bergey has died, his son announced on Christmas Day. He was 79.

Bergey, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1974-1980, had been battling cancer for the past few years. His son, Jake Bergey, said his father was an “out right great person.”

The South Dayton, New York, native’s professional football career began in the late 1960s when he played for the Cincinnati Bengals.

“After a long hard 3 year battle, Dad lost his fight with Cancer. The best father, friend, grand father, football player and out right great person in this world. I will truly miss him.  Love you dad,” Jake wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

 Bergey recorded nearly 1,200 tackles during his standout tenure with the Eagles. He earned Pro Bowl honors four times during his time in Philly. Bergey received the first Pro Bowl nod of his career in 1969 when he was with the Bengals.

“He has kind of been my inspiration,” Bergey told the Eagles official team website last year. “He keeps me on the up and up. ‘Just remember,’ he would say, ‘You’re a football player, you’re tough, and you can beat this. You can handle this.'”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy excoriated Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday for launching attacks against energy infrastructure on Christmas Day.

Zelenskyy suggested the attacks were “inhumane,” but said they would not ruin Christmas.

“Today, Putin deliberately chose Christmas for an attack. What could be more inhumane? Over 70 missiles, including ballistic ones, and more than a hundred attack drones. The targets are our energy infrastructure. They continue to fight for a blackout in Ukraine,” he declared in a post on X.

The Russian Defence Ministry acknowledged a “massive strike” on its part, saying it hit energy facilities that supported Ukraine’s “military-industrial complex,” Reuters reported.

“The aim of the strike was achieved. All facilities have been hit,” the ministry said.

Strikes against Ukrainian fuel and energy sources involved 78 air, ground and sea-launched missiles, in addition to 106 Shaheds and other kinds of drones, Ukraine’s air force claimed, according to The Associated Press.

“Unfortunately, there have been hits. As of now, there are power outages in several regions. Power engineers are working to restore power supply as soon as possible,” Zelenskyy noted. 

Still, the Ukrainian leader declared that “Russian evil will not break Ukraine and will not spoil Christmas.”

The U.S. has provided billions of dollars’ worth of aid to help Ukraine fight the Russian onslaught that erupted in 2022, but Americans and their congressional representatives have been divided regarding whether the U.S. should continue supplying aid to Ukraine.

President-elect Trump, who will take office on Jan. 20, has called for a cease-fire and negotiations.

In a post on Truth Social this month, Trump declared that “Zelenskyy and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness. They have ridiculously lost 400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians. There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin.”
