Nursing student withdraws from University of Alabama claiming CRT, DEI curriculum promoted 'hate, racism, sexism and lies'

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 3) "I am telepathic, and could tell that the reason you were all looking at me when I entered the room was because you're all ray-cists!"

If you put all the haters in a group and all the non-haters in a group, which group would be the more attractive?

“It’s basically a comic book about different genders and how white men have been historically angry and sexually aggressive and how perceptions need to change,” Budde said. “… It’s just utter nonsense. It talks about how you can change your gender if you start behaving like the opposite gender.”

As the wife of a police officer, Budde said she was further disturbed when Erevelles showed a slide showing that 50% of people killed by police are disabled.


Folks,

The more we stand up to this nonsense the better it is...............

Want to be really scared? This is probably what is going on in our military right now.

Yeah, if she'd been white, no one would have noticed her. < /sarc >

Years ago in the early 1980’s a friend attended University of Alabama. The LGB club (only three letters back then) was being formed and they had a booth at student activities day.

Some of the frat boys set up their own booth entitled “The Sheep Fornicators’ Union”.

True story.

Sounds like encouraging and fostering a hostile work environment to me...illegal under federal law.

Probably focused on nothing but CRT.

Are Alabama Republicans asleep to what has been creeping into Alabama’s colleges? This can be remedied by carefully crafted legislation and personnel changes.

Alabama Republicans don’t give a rat’s ass as long as they get their kickback money.

If she has a problem with DEI, then she should get her doctorate would be in a RED STATE, rather than Alabama. After all, what, exactly did she expect there?
