The problem is liberal arts courses and radical feminism.
The solution is to create a "conservative arts" curriculum that emphasizes honesty and rational thought. The inverse of a liberal arts course.
The other thing is to defund women's studies and black studies program and prohibit any federal dollars from supporting them.
It is absurd to have courses that teach women to hate men, and blacks to hate whites.
How would liberals feel if we had men's studies courses that taught men to hate and take advantage of women. Or White studies programs that reinforced aryan-nation views on white superiority?
At the very least any institution that receives federal funds and offers women's and black studies, should be required to offer men's and white studies.

Seems like someone had an aggressive knee-jerk reaction to seeing the word "liberal" in any context.

That's, uh, not how it works? Nice bit of psychological projection as to how your "conservative arts" course would operate, though.

As the old saying goes, pretty much every course is men's studies and white studies. More seriously though, you probably could manage to create a "men's studies" course that wasn't blithering MRA tripe if you tried hard enough, but "white studies"... I'll explain why that's a problem right here, with thanks to the essay I found that explained this. In short, the commonly used racial definitions are mostly inclusionary , referring to anyone with a significant percentage of ancestry from the group regardless of other heritage; black studies is thus a genuine celebration of ancestry, especially in America since African-Americans are very much an ethnic group unto themselves by now rather than a socially constructed "race". The definition of white, by contrast, is exclusionary ; you don't qualify as white unless you lack any significant percentage of ancestry from groups not viewed as white, which is a real problem compared to inclusionary definitions. To sum up the problem, a white pride parade that worked the same way as black pride parades would allow Barack Obama, Giancarlo Esposito and whatever other part-white mixed race people you care to mention to participate - but they don't, because "white" does not work that way. It never has, because it was defined in a way that allowed European racists to feel all pure and superior to the other races.
"Conservative Arts" is something of an oxymoron. Art requires creativity, an open mind, the abilty to empathise with your subject and audience. The right lacks empathy, creativity, and anything resembling an open mind.
If there were any demand for those courses, they'd be offered. But white males already know that through that accident of birth, they're on top of the socio-politico-economic heap. . . .for the moment.
What's the matter, infant, not being praised enough?
You seem to think there's no reason on earth for women to hate men, or blacks to hate whites. Take a look at some history that hasn't been whitewashed to present your kind as perfect, and you'll see that your victims have plenty of reason to hate you.
@Crimson Lizard That's hardly fair. There's a big difference between hating on white men who happen to be racists and sexists, and just straight up hating on white men period even the decent and good ones, which is racist and sexist in and of itself. While it is true that many white men is the past (and sadly, the present as well) have done some horrible things to women and people of color, the vast majority of white men today are innocent of that, and don't deserve to be classifed as alt-right mutants.
Given how many jackasses love to claim all history and invention as white history and the accomplishments of men, no matter who actually invented what, your proposed curriculum is both redundant and deceptive. Women's history and black history are their own courses because the specifics are downplayed if not actively suppressed in our society compared to anything emphasizing white males.
Well, that and they're delegated to "paper classes" to fleece students out of a proper education when they attend college and universities on scholarships the schools profit from, such as athletes.
Confused?
