Some 25 colleges and universities – many of them public – have answered a call by professors at UCLA to use their regular class time to “teach, organize, and resist” what they view as the discriminatory political agenda of President-elect Donald Trump. Slated for Wednesday, January 18, the teach-in, dubbed #J18, is taking place between the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and Trump’s inauguration. The event’s planners say:
Let it be known that on #J18 and beyond, universities, colleges, and high schools refused to bear silent witness to the politics of hate and fear; that in these times, these places of teaching and learning not only served as a sanctuary for its students and workers but also stood up to proclaim the power of knowledge on the frontlines of social justice.
On January 18, the professors are calling upon their colleagues to “Teach, Organize, Resist,” and “affirm the role of critical thinking and academic knowledge in challenging Trumpism.”
They continue:
On that day, we intend to teach about the agendas and policies of the new administration, be it the proposed dismantling of economic and environmental regulations or the threatened rollback of the hard-won rights that form the fragile scaffolding of American democracy. On that day, we intend to organize against the proposed expansion of state violence targeting people of color, undocumented people, queer communities, women, Muslims, and many others. On that day, we intend to resist the institutionalization of ideologies of separation and subordination, including white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia, and virulent nationalism.
In addition to UCLA, universities participating in the event to date include: American University, Washington, D.C.; University of California, Berkeley; University of Cincinnati; University of Dayton; University of Minnesota; New York University; Princeton University; Texas State University; University of Kentucky; Vanderbilt University; and University of Washington.

2017 Sit in...
Students: “We hate Trump”! “We hate Bigotry”! “We hate Dead Old White Men (Founding Fathers)...FREE PALESTINE!!!
Professor: ...and WHAT ELSE do we hate kids??
Students: Latte that is cold!!, poor quality cellphones!, Cars older than 2015!, non-designer fashion!, expensive laptops! Student Loan paybacks!!!
Bush I, Bush II, Rinos, Republican pols, THIS is how Universities should respond, NERVOUS! Fire their a$$.
The ONLY true Republicans of my life are DJ Trump & R Reagan.
They teach anti western anti white everyday.
This is one of the reasons, letters behind one’s name are becoming more and more meaningless. Nobel prizes and other medals are also becoming ‘zero value’ items to those with common sense.
‘Those that can, do. Those that cannot, teach. Those that cannot do or teach, get into politics.’
Remember, ‘If you can’t dazzle with brilliance, baffle with bullshit’, the politicians creed.
Political rule (power) of any kind relies on two conditions;
Ignorance and Chaos.
Some must be ignorant to rely on some others to lead them out of the crisis, when crisis is a path to power.
Prove it some say. Chicago, I reply.
Same type of people (of any and all genomes) been running the show there for decades.
Chicago, the proving grounds of community organizers such as S. Alinsky and B. Obama; in truth and when looked at in the ‘grand picture’, these are just two of the dumbest to walk the planet.
To close, remember the man who created the microwave dropped out of grade-school. He taught himself. Percy Spencer.
An education is out there and in truth, it is damn near free and only takes your time.
Today, brainwashing is what you get for your money
Wow. The mask has fallen off the indoctrination centers. Cut the funding.
“...of state violence targeting people of color, undocumented people, queer communities, women, Muslims, and many other...”
“discriminatory agenda...”
What are these so called “educated” people smoking??? Where are the facts to back up their claims and fear-mongering rhetoric??? Holy crap this has gotten unreal. Trump will be surrounded be vocal and powerful dark forces during his time in office. The indoctrination of our youth must be stopped.
Anyone else sick of telling young people to rebel against the Establishment?
You’re correct. New report just out:

This is one of those long-term nation-saving issues, like stopping illegal immigration, debt reduction, and pro-life.
Philadelphia schools taking a week to teach about Black Lives Matter too! http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/teachers-philadelphia-plan-black-lives-matter-week-44758875
“we intend to resist the institutionalization of ideologies of separation and subordination, including white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia, and virulent nationalism.”
Add resisting arrest and civil disobedience to that list.
Meanwhile, I’ll be engaged in civil indifference. At least it’s legal.
I would like to see many courses and most professors eliminated. They teach BS classes and ignore primary sources to indoctrinate.
Punching hippies has lost some of its charm now that they’re all pushing 80...
No, not really. I still love to punch them. To me, they are archetypal left-wing nuts: angry, sanctimonious, and Mao-Lenin want-to-be’s.
So while you are paying an astronomical amount of money for your kid to receive an education, the teachers are using the time to drill you kid with their personal political hate views. Fantastic!
Kind of funny to read that statement as that is exactly what they have done, institutionalized the ideologies of separation and subordination. They seperate out the black and call them victims, thereby subordinating them to any schooling, culture, etc. They separate out the Muslim and call them victims... They separate out the Hispanic and call them victims... They separate out the women and call them victims... They are afraid of virulent nationalism, but isn't that truly something to be cultivated? This is America and we are not victims.
“affirm the role of critical thinking and academic knowledge in challenging Trumpism.”
critical thinking?
LOL
They mean groupthink.
