A Happy Camper

This camp starts today.  Can you imagine how much fun I'd have there?  I'd stir the mud, they wouldn't want me there spoiling their groupthink.
Northern Illinois University will be hosting a “social justice summer camp” for educators June 11-14.

According to the event description, the three-day camp will aim to “bring together teams of educators to investigate multicultural and social justice education. Campers will have significant opportunities to discuss social justice issues, both general and specific to their schools, with experts and colleagues, as well as time for individual reflection.”

The camp will also focus on presenting a “candid and nonjudgmental exploration of multiculturalism, privilege, identity, oppression and more.”

It seems to me that candid and nonjudgmental are contradictory adjectives

That...that just makes my eyes burn at the stoopid.
That's indoctrination at its most PC.
And who would attend such a camp? Only those who are already true believers.
As the Instapundit says, that's another institution from whom no graduates should be hired.

Will there be canoeing? Archery?

Why do people need to go to camp for individual reflection?
