A teacher at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro requires students in her class to write an 8-page commitment to social justice â pupils who take her class because itâs a required course to earn a K-12 teaching credential.
An assignment in instructor Revital Zilonkaâs âInstitution of Educationâ class tells future North Carolina teachers that âby the end of the semester, you are required to write your own personal/professional commitment to social justice,â the syllabus states.
The class mandates a list of feminist and Marxist readings, and studentsâ âcommitmentâ is expected to be up to eight pages long and delve into how they plan to advance social justice âgiven the new understanding you have by now about society and education,â the syllabus adds.
Zilonkaâs 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 Zilonkaâs section of ELC 381 include:
âRaising Penelope, My Transgender Son,â by Jodie Patterson.
âWhite Privilege,â by Peggy McIntosh.
âWhat Matthew Shephard Would Tell Us,â by Doug Risner.

Spartan pride.
Social justice means minding your own damned business and staying out of the lives of people doing no harm to others. It does not mean being forced to engage with freaks, criminals, and others you find personally revolting.
WOW, I just had a flashback to when they showed kent dorfman on the screen in Animal House!
I saw her the other day ... in a WalMart ... stuffing a bunch of shit up her dress .... while the other gypsies started a fight-
This is part of the reason that 43% of potential voters in Iowa identify as socialists.
They apparent
ly don’t know what Socialist means and call themselves Soialists because they participate in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media, and are therefore, Socialists.
I used to teach at UNCG, known by the few conservatives there as UNC Gomorrah. The constant discrimination against and harassment of white males, Christians, and conservatives drove me to leave. Most universities are cesspools of leftist indoctrination. I am much happier since I walked away from academia.

What rocks do these cockroaches crawl out from under?
Why would anyone take the class unless they were already hopelessly far left? Please tell me it’s not a required course.
Coming to a FEMA camp near you!!!

I read it twice and missed it!
Going to see the optometrist next week.
PS: In my defense, I tend to skip over the words that have the funny symbols in front of them, as “required” did in the post.
Just read ‘em as quotes. And only having a bit of fun with you...
Of course...
It is why I went into science, where concise and definitive were considered virtues over rambling BS.
One professor even had a rubber stamp of a snorting bull which would be applied to vague filler in an essay answer on an exam.
Common tactic.
