I'm not sure about that because, while I completely agree with the sentiment, it is indoctrinating our common beleifs. What if we take your name for the course and replace racism with "atheism", or "Communism", or "Socialism", or "Big Government"? Would you support for such classes depend on your own opinion of such sentiments?
But honestly I have little problem with such classes, as long as they are electives that are in no way required for any course and are paid for by the students themselves.
