‘Antiracism’ At LSU (Critical Race Theory class near being mandated)
The American Conservative ^ | 12-21-20 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 12/22/2020 1:07:11 PM PST by SeafoodGumbo

The racist “antiracist” madness has now come home to my alma mater, Louisiana State University. Before we go further, I should point out that this is the flagship public university in a very red state governed by a Republican legislature and a conservative Democratic governor.

The LSU Faculty Senate has a proposal before it — one that a source within the university tells me is fully expected to pass.

The author has to take a gratuitous shot at Trump at the end, but notice that the impetus for this course came from the athletes. "This proposal comes from faculty members affiliated with AAAS [African & African American Studies], but what is interesting is that the Black Student Athletes Association has provided the impetus for this proposal."

I gave up the NFL when the kneeling started. I’ve barely watched college this season. Guess I’m now officially done with Thugball.

Quit sending your children to “ universities “.

They are CCP indoctrination centers. And, very, very expensive ones at that.

Paraphrasing Thomas Sowell: It's hard to reason somebody out of an absurd idea if it lets them feel morally superior.

That is what is happening with Critical Race Theory. Some idiots actually believe it and for others it is simply virtue-signaling (a cheap way to look and feel good in front of others).

Expect any sport which has a disproportionate number of black players to go full woke.

I don’t watch football or basketball.

I recommend women’s pole vault.

If it’s required, it should only be with no charge to the students if not a subject of their majors. Why would we reward the ‘woke’ for taking worthless classes?

Send your kids to a good trade school or apprentice them to tradesmen.

Academia has turned into Lackademia.

All reasoning is out the window, sorely lacking.

Sounds like Mizzou, with the tail wagging the dog.
They let the FB team turn the whole campus upside down with their social justice stompy feet antics.

College lacrosse is still good.

Very little if any virtue signaling in that sport.

You’re absolutely right. I’m doing my best to minimize the money I spend that goes to the left. Most of my friends still watch the Saints in spite of all of the BLM crap, the team getting robbed of a Super Bowl spot, and Bountygate.

abb, I can’t remember if you have a Louisiana ping list or if it’s someone else. Thanks.

Not me. Can’t recall who does. We will have trouble here in LA as long as the Baton Rouge/NOLA newspapers are in business. The Shreveport, Monroe, Alexandria, Lafayette, and Opelousas papers (Gannett) thankfully are now so undermanned as to be nearly irrelevant.

Your post needs some clarification

Was your professor the inventor of Kwanzaa or in a class taught by the inventor of Kwanzaa and what was the mandatory class?

I was required to take Multiculturalism 101 at Cal State. One of the professors of the class was Ron Karenga, the inventor of Kwanzaa.
