Aileen Ida, president of the College Democrats, told Local 21 News that she noticed a Wisconsin pastor wearing the pin and wanted to help spread the message. She said the conversation on white privilege is necessary in central Pennsylvania because of the demographics. Sawa Alabsi, a student at the school, told local media that she is concerned her classmates would join the campaign to simply fit in. "Elizabethtown is a majority white campus, so I think white Privilege is a great place to start,” he said. Ida said the idea wasn’t meant to call out white people, but remind students that racial identity is an important conversation to have.
