Oregon State University is developing an online course centered on “social justice” that new students will soon be required to take.
The course will debut as a pilot program during the fall term, which starts in late September, and the full roll-out will happen toward the beginning of winter term, which starts in January, a university official told The College Fix via email.

So add Oregon state to the list of colleges with graduates I will ignore.
Nor would I hire such a graduate.
> Everything not forbidden is compulsory.
Good reason not to waste your money on such a brain laundry.
This alum has already told them I won’t give them a dime if this goes into effect. Their choice.
Back when uber-liberal France Cordova was President of Purdue, all incoming freshmen were “required” to read some liberal book about how black people were oppressed or taken advantage of or something like that. My son hacked his way through two chapters and found it unreadable. It was supposed to be worked into the entirety of the University curriculum, but he had no idea how it was supposed to be relevant to Chemical Engineering, so he blew it off.
When he was in college it was only mentioned once, during sophmore year talking with some classmates one of them asked “what was that book all about?” It turned out my son read more of the book than they did.
There is still hope.
Hopefully the syllabus is something like this:
* everyone needs to get an education and/or vocational training
* everyone needs to earn (work for) what they NEED and WANT
* society should help with NEEDs for very short periods of time when individuals face hard times. This is most effectively done through neighbors/churches/friends and least effectively done through government programs. You should help others directly and locally and expect help directly and locally if you face hard times.
* Everyone WANTs different things (money, leisure, cars, vacation, ...) Inequality is a good thing since everyone can choose how much education/training they get beyond what it takes to meet their NEEDs and how hard they work in order to meet their WANTs.
When society reaches these goals we will achieve social justice.
The same school where Moochelle’s brother was an under-performing basketball coach for many years. Why am I not surprised?
Only teaching them to hate. Just like Palestinian children taught to hate Jews. The yutes of today are no different than them.
Is Oregon State trying to lose student enrollment and endowment funds like what happened to the University of Missouri?
Fricken Beavers..... Go Ducks.
When I was in college in the 70’s we had to take PROPAGANDA ANALYSIS as a required course so they could teach us how the older generation was lying to us.
“social justice”
Whitey bad. Males bad. Christians bad.
So if Oregon State is doing it, it is probably state mandated, so Oregon can’t be far behind in requiring it.
How is it that a school that takes taxpayer money can force liberalism on people? there has to be some way to stop them, the courts? something.
Syllabus:
1. Whites are evil scum.
2. Whites must pay, pay, pay forever for being so evil.
3. Whites should off themselves to make things right.
Class dismissed.
I am an alum too. I have passed the word. Used to be good engineering & technical & business school as opposed to the Ducks.
“s Oregon State trying to lose student enrollment and endowment funds like what happened to the University of Missouri?”
Probably counting on the general liberalness of the state of Oregon to allow them a pass on this.
Maybe. But given state universities all over the USA are courting out-of-state (and often out-of-country) students, I’m not sure if Oregon State’s new policy is a good idea—especially since Corvallis, OR is in a small college town.
