The University of Utah is now offering a “Social Justice Advocacy Certificate” to train students to “advocate for action and change.”

Starting this fall, students will be eligible to earn the certificate in “Social Justice Advocacy,” the creation of which was unanimously approved by faculty of the University of Utah School of School of Social Work in 2014, according to a school announcement.

Just like being admitted to the Communist Party. At least the certificate makes it easy for potential employers to filter out the applicants.

I hope they teach the “Social Justice Advocacy Certificate” students to ask, “Do you want fries with that?”

This might be occurring at the local university here too in my state. Dropped my daughter off at volleyball camp yesterday and noticed some moppy-haired chick sportin’ a social justice t-shirt.

Time to defund these public universities. At least these politically activist portions. Can you see a certificate in “Conservative Values and American Patriotism” being approved?

So it’s not fair and balanced so needs to be nipped in the bud.

First we called them “social workers,” then it become “community organizers.”

Now its “Social Justice Advocates.”

Anyway, its all the same debt-bubble and government funding the radical and statist left.

Forget the “Certificate,” Prescott College (AZ), offers an entire Master’s degree program in “Social Justice & Human Rights.”

Prescott College has for many years been a magnet for the hard Left. The college is an island of liberalism surrounded by a sea of conservatives here in Yavapai County, AZ.

If nnyone comes to me with the words ‘studies’ or ‘social justice certificate’, and wants a job, I will give them an 8th grade (last century) examination to pass, first. If they cannot pass that examination, I won’t hire them. If they refuse to take the examination, I will report them to the welfare office for refusal to work.

And $200k in student loan debt later you'll blame white privilege for you only being qualified to work a drive through window.

Well let’s see...

Universities will hire them.
Advocacy groups will hire them.
Government agencies will hire them.
Hell, one of them might even become President of the United States of America.

Community organizer gets a little recognition as a profession. Certification as a social justice advocate.
Bet you have to study Alinsky.
That’s what Obama lectured on when he was a guest lecturer (never was a professor).

Communist agitator would be more accurate.

The Nazis and Commies used to give you certificates with your “party number” on it too.
