... will pay "special attention to issues of diversity, inclusion, and community." Reading assignments, according to the draft, will focus on "oppression and resistance," "historical violence, such as the early slave trade and genocidal conquests," and the "experiences of marginalized groups and struggles for human rights." For good measure, course materials will fixate on "how entrenched systems of inequality marginalize some groups and privilege others."
The proposal also calls for a dramatic - and mildly terrifying - transformation of life in the residence halls. No longer will students shack up together at random: instead, AU would assign students to particular housing based on which "oppression studies" courses they are taking ... "Upper class peer mentors," according to the draft, will be assigned to these groups of students. The draft describes them as "support teams," but it's easy to imagine them morphing into some kind of social justice enforcers instead.
No time for the usual reading, writing, history, or arithmetic - all just really enforce 'White Privilege' anyway and are of little value out in the community or in politics ...
There is a silver lining in this is that it may be planting the seed for its own destruction, the way the cultural revolution and red guards were the seeds that ended up destroying Maoism in China.
These courses were to pretend unassimilated malcontents were “in college”; now they need a way to pay the “professors”/enablers.
