•Insinuates Reagan was sexist, failed to appoint women to positions of power.
•Mandated reading claims wealthy people "find that having a social class of poor people is useful," it "allows them to look down on classes below them.”
A University of South Carolina textbook has one student whistleblower outraged over its accusations that President Ronald Reagan was sexist and conservatives view people as incapable of “charity” and "lazy."
The textbook, obtained by Turning Points USA Founder Charlie Kirk, was authored by Karen K. Kirst-Ashman and used for the three credit course “Introduction to Social Work Profession and Social Welfare.”
The mandated reading includes sections such as “Conservative Extremes in the 1980’s and Early 1990’s,” which claims Reagan “ascribed to women primarily domestic functions’ and failed to appoint many women to significant positions of power during his presidency.”
Anna Chapman, a sophomore at the University of South Carolina, told Campus Reform “I can not even tell you how angry I was when I read that.”
The excerpts sent to Campus Reform make no mention of Reagan’s appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor, the first female Supreme Court Justice; his appointment of the first female U.S. Representative to the United Nations, Jeane Kirkpatrick; Elizabeth Dole, the first female appointed to Secretary of the Department of Transportation; or that over 1,400 women were chosen by Reagan to fill powerful, policy-making positions.
Chapman also took issue with the way conservatives are discussed in the text.
“Conservatives ‘tend to take a basically pessimistic view of human nature. People are conceived of as being, self-centered, lazy and incapable of true charity,’” the text states.
Wealthy individuals are also a topic of scorn throughout the course reading, which argues that “[the] wealthy find that having a social class of poor people is useful.”
“First, poor people can do the ‘dirty work’ for rich people that the latter don’t want to do,” such as dangerous or menial jobs. “Second, having a poor social class emphasizes that the wealthy are higher in the social structure. . .and allows them to look down on classes below them.”
Anna Chapman told Campus Reform “this is really outrageous, it’s so in your face and people need to know about it.”

Unlike the gayboy 0bama....
He married a woman.
In fact, he was married to a woman, divorced, and married another woman.
Not one queer, homo, lesbian, transgender or convertable in the crowd.
Ergo: He was a sexist.
Interesting use of projection. It is democrats that are pessimistic and believe people are not capable of taking care of themselves. Conservatives are optimistic and believe most can do it ourselves if left alone.
Public colleges and universities are mostly funded by the tax payer and we the tax payers have no say whatsoever in the content of the classes or college textbooks.
Additionally, parents who not only pay taxes but tuition are not allowed to have editorial input in what is taught.
They destroy people even after they are dead.

This book is a work of pure leftist ideological Fiction. It has no business in any place of learning. The State of South Carolina needs to demand the University reframe from teaching this political unfair nonsense.
I hope governor Nikki Haley hears about this and leans upon the appropriate people to get this dealt with. We can’t have kid being taught this nonsense on the Tax payer dime.
Anyone from South Carolina able to send this article to Nikki and ask for her to lean on someone to deal with this?
