>> It led me to an NFHS advisory penned by University of Massachusetts “social justice education” professor emerita Pat Griffin. (In other words, “Dr.” Griffin has a PhD in BS and has made a good, taxpayer-funded living shoveling it into that expansive black hole known as the “collegus craniumus.”

UMass proudly offers the Doctorate in Social Justice, as crazy and offensive a major as one can imagine. Thoughtfully, the "School of Education" at UMass (from which Bill Cosby received his Ed.D.) is placed as far away from the chemistry and engineering buildings on campus as possible less the ed majors attack the chem and eng majors for being symbols of the hated white, hierarchical, patriarchal, homophobic, achievacentric, rational, oppressive, angry majority.

Forgive me. I understated the rancidity of the Doctorate in Social Justice. From its webpage, UMass lists elements to be studied on the way to being addressed as "doctor":

"Element e. Socio-cultural and historical contexts for, and dynamics within and among the specific manifestations of oppression (adultism, religious oppression, ableism, classism, ethnocentrism, heterosexism, racism, sexism, transgender oppression) in educational and other social systems;"

"Element J: j. Social justice intervention strategies methods such as critical pedagogy, anti-bias education, popular education, youth empowerment, dialogue across differences, participatory action research, alliance building, collaboration, or advocacy."
