Nursing student withdraws from University of Alabama claiming CRT, DEI curriculum promoted 'hate, racism, sexism and lies'
1819news.com ^ | August 25, 2023 | Erica Thomas

A student earning her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Alabama says she left the school after a professor brought Critical Race Theory (CRT) and other diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) ideas into the classroom. She said the ideas were offensive and dangerous.

Sarah Budde, an emergency room RN in Florida, thought Alabama would be the best place for her to pursue her doctorate.

However, she changed her mind after taking the multicultural and social education for leadership personnel class taught by Dr. Nirmala Erevelles.

"As a student, I paid for this program and paid for the course," Budde said. "I did not get what I paid for. It was all a focus on her political views."

According to the class syllabus, the course draws on "critical concepts and perspectives such as ideology critique, structural violence, social suffering, critical race theory, feminist theory, disability studies, queer theory, and social justice. These perspectives urge us to move beyond the usual platitudes of tolerating difference, affirming diversity, acquiring cultural competency, and 'getting along' to raise more fundamental philosophical and political questions regarding how people oppressively marked by social and cultural difference experience the social institution of health care."

Budde said her concerns began with her first in-person meeting of the hybrid class. During orientation, she said the teacher said although she teaches a CRT class, that class would not focus on that. However, Budde said Erevelles did inform the class that everyone had racial biases.

"When I was at orientation in January, she told us about biases in nursing and how we all have them, and she said she noticed we all looked at her when she walked into the auditorium because she's brown," Budde told 1819 News.

Option 1) "I was invisible to you when I entered the room. You are racists."
Option 2) "You noticed me when I entered the room. You are racists."

She is of course 10% correct.

No winning with these idiots. Fire her so she can work from a windowless 9x9 room alone at home

Vote with your feet and cash... leave the school, sue them - and sign up for studies in Florida. We don't put up with teaching hate.

This is what the racist democrats want. If you quit, only racists who hate white people will be nurses. Sit through it, tell them they are wrong and graduate.

Good for her. She has larger cojones than the assclowns in CONgress (fed and state)that meekly protest this crap but let it slip by anyway. Special treatment is NOT equal treatment!

I can summarize critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion in three words.

White man bad.

These black CRT professors are communist political commissars enforcing the party line. They take particular pleasure in bullying whites. Then when exposed, they said I didn’t do nothing.

As if graduating would ever happen in that case.

The foundation for a lawsuit I would think.

Well, what if she had been naked?

Would anyone look at her?

Would that make them racist?

OK, I saw her picture.

If naked, no one would have looked at her.

I would consider studying abroad, because the virus has hit all US universities.
