Professor requires students write 8-page ‘commitment to social justice’

A teacher at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro requires students in her class to write an 8-page commitment to social justice — pupils who take her class because it’s a required course to earn a K-12 teaching credential.

An assignment in instructor Revital Zilonka’s “Institution of Education” class tells future North Carolina teachers that “by the end of the semester, you are required to write your own personal/professional commitment to social justice,” the syllabus states.

The class mandates a list of feminist and Marxist readings, and students’ “commitment” is expected to be up to eight pages long and delve into how they plan to advance social justice “given the new understanding you have by now about society and education,” the syllabus adds.

Zilonka’s syllabus also tells students to Like on Facebook a slate of secular-progressive pages, such as the pro-LGBTQ Human Rights Campaign, Feministing, Million Hoodies for Justice, and the Brown Girl Collective.

Some other required readings and viewings in Zilonka’s section of ELC 381 include:

“Raising Penelope, My Transgender Son,” by Jodie Patterson.

“White Privilege,” by Peggy McIntosh.

“What Matthew Shephard Would Tell Us,” by Doug Risner.

I would expound on how I would achieve social justice by applying the Laws of the Marketplace and Social Darwinism. He who earns, gets. And the strong survive. Anything else is tyrannical posturing in defiance of natural law,

So Revital (which sounds like a cough syrup) can either get in the kitchen and whip up some sandwiches or she’s out of a job.

If anyone comes at me these days and tells me they have a college degree (other than STEM), they lose the interview right that second.

“Justice” with a modifier is not justice at all.

It was always a liberal campus but there were more chicks than guys, especially if you ruled out the gay guys.

Agree. Liberal arts degrees are Tier 2 degrees usually in worthless subjects just like the people who subscribe to them. Always check their Facebook page. The punks, the parasites, and commies are easy to spot.
