this response to that Princeton freshman should be required reading for white males

Tal Fortgang, a freshman at Princeton University, has ignited much of the blogosphere with an op-ed he wrote recently for the Princeton Tory, the school’s conservative student publication. In it, Fortgang decries being told, “Check your privilege,” and denies that he receives a significant benefit from his skin color and gender. He spends much of the piece outlining his Jewish family’s tragic history at the hands of Nazi Germany.
