The amended graduation requirements define an ethnic studies course as one that includes the “explicit exploration of identity and intersectionality,” prioritizes “the history and culture of historically marginalized groups,” discusses “the history and current role of race, racism, and anti-racist work,” and creates “interdisciplinary learning that leads to action.”

Yeah. We’ve seen this movie before. 100 million dead in the 20th century. This is how the next round starts.

What do they want their agents of change to change?

Here we go with “intersectionality” again. White liberals feel so guilty and ashamed for their affluence. It is laughable! Attn, white liberals: nothing you do is going to satisfy the beast you have decided to feed. Nothing.

This has been going on in the public schools for at least 30 years. Moulding other people’s children into brainwashed political activists for the socialist state.

Ok, so I can choose Celtic studies, or Germanic studies, or surely Norse studies is popular in Minnesota, right?

No? Those aren’t the “ethnics” you are talking about?

And parents immediately protested, threatened to pull their kids out of school if this plan got approval, and made it perfectly clear that these board members could kiss their jobs goodbye, right?

Sorry. I forgot. That would be the response in a sane world.

This is Minneapolis. More likely the parents cheerfully went along with it to show how woke they were.

I lived in the Twin Cities area for 10 years and all too familiar with the insanity there.

At the University of Minnesota College of Education, any student who believes that a pupil from the inner city can achieve academically will not be given a degree, and will in fact be expelled from the University of Minnesota.

In college, decades ago, I overheard the dean referring to somebody as a “change agent.” Double-speak; George Orwell-ian.
