"This class is an indoctrination of modern racial ideology," one student said.
Students at Michigan State University hoping to become the educators of the next generation are forced to take a race-centered course that follows “the guiding principles of the Black Lives Matter” movement and requires students to read from a book condemning “whiteness.”
Course materials obtained by the Young America’s Foundation group on MSU’s campus and shared with The Daily Wire show that one class for future teachers pushes leftist theories on race. The introductory three-credit class, “TE 101: Social Foundations of Justice and Equity in Education,” is required for all Secondary Education majors at MSU and is typically taken before their junior year. TE 101’s course description states that it emphasizes “racial justice, equity, and social identity markers.”
The syllabus for TE 101 states that the class is “committed to the Guiding Principles of the Black Lives Matter Movement, Learning for Justice’s Social Justice Standards, and the principles of the Abolitionist Teaching Network.”
One Michigan State education major, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Daily Wire that 90-100% of the class is focused on race.
“This class is an indoctrination of modern racial ideology,” the student said.
Asked if sitting through hours of leftist ideology becomes discouraging, the student replied, “No, it actually makes me want to pursue this degree more. It makes me want to be able to teach children instead of these other people.”
“Because I feel like there is a lack of conservatives in education,” the student added. “We see how the other side has done with these students.”
The only book TE 101 students are required to read for the semester includes a section that condemns “whiteness” as a privilege that “will never allow true solidarity to take place.”

Trump should require education majors to pass a swim test.
Given Michigan’s future population, it’ll soon be a target in any case, so who gives a shi...er...gives a Dorkbama?
I forgot to mention that if this is an “Eddikator” curriculum, it’s intellectual content is non-existent and those clowns should not be allowed within shouting distance of a student that one wants to receive an actual education.
Hey, there will still be some of us trapped behind enemy lines when that happens, so think about us.

LIKE OBAMA’S CHEF???
Marxists are all over our university campuses.
Nothing new. I had to take these sorts of courses in 2003 at SIUC.
Closing universities for ten to twenty years just be a good thing.
Compulsory indoctrination classes are not very effective.
They turn often people forced to take them into opponents.
Just to clarify— there are many universities with the initials MSU. The one here in this article is Michigan State University.
(If you’re looking for an MSU to attend, may I recommend the one in Mississippi?)
Hail state!
How come there are never any DEI supporting educators being gunned down? I mean metaphorically? They can EASILY be given their walking papers. If it is a case of retirement, promise them they’ll get it verbally, then do not deliver. Then layoff the person who forced them out with full retirement as long as they keep their mouth shut.
Where’s General Augusto Pinochet when we need him?!
I’d close them for a century.
The DEI dean at U Mass Amherst is a MSU graduate and her online reviews are hateful.
I’m still waiting for my “privilege.”
Screw these race baiters.
And just to be assholes and throw it back in their face, they should vow to have no dealings with any black person for fear that their inherent white privilege might wear off on to them and destroy their lives.
