The social-justice warriors are pushing full steam ahead with their plans to turn our classrooms into indoctrination dens. The State University of New York system, in which I’m a political-science professor, just announced expanded “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice” requirements for every degree program starting in fall 2023.
That’s right — DEISJ classes are required to earn a degree, even in departments outside liberal arts such as math, science and engineering.
These initiatives do nothing more than cultivate division, distort reality, eliminate the power of the individual and insult any fair-minded person. DEISJ is a cultural movement, not an academic discipline, inhibiting academic freedom and doing little to prepare students for the workforce.
This curriculum has no place in education. Americans — parents, students, employers — need to defend our nation’s academic institutions, which are critical to forming a citizenry equipped to uphold our republic through economic productivity and civic engagement.
DEISJ drives are a cancer spreading throughout American institutions. To meet SUNY’s requirements, students must master specific criteria for spotting and responding to “dynamics of power, privilege, oppression, and opportunity” in all aspects of the past and the present.
As the largest university system in the country, with 64 institutions serving nearly 1.3 million students, SUNY is clearly doing its part to create a new generation of public virtue signalers. Unfortunately, it’s just one of many higher-education institutions that would rather students master DEISJ’s core components than prepare for a lifetime career. The University of Massachusetts, Drake University, Brandeis University, Villanova University and the University of California system are among the many schools adopting this radical framework.

I think it’s time to make a loan that says they can’t get a college degree until they gone to a deprogramming college
Justice is for Persons, not groups of persons which are mere abstract entities.
Oswego Class of ‘76 here. This is disgusting, and I blame Princess Kathy and her Cabal.
SUNY education is already horrendous enough without this bs.
A few years back, I had the privilege to visit with one of my old mechanical engineering professors. He’s now the Dean of the ME section of the college.
During our conversation, he made the statement of how fortunate I was to go thru when I did versus today. I asked him why, and he showed me that now, engineers have to take over 18 semester-hours of SJW classes!!!! That’s 18 hours of non-engineering BS. He told me that to get the equivalent education that I received back then in today’s world, one would have to continue on into grad school. He told me that they initially fought it, but they were forced to do it in order to maintain their accreditation credentials.
No race shaming is allowed at educational institutions receiving federal funds.
“”Universities are clearly doing its part to create a new generation of public virtue signalers.””
“”All the students with majors in
math, science and engineering, still must take 18 semester-hours of SJW classes!!””
Math science and engineering are all racist, don’t you know. 2+2 can be 5 if you feeeeel good about yourself.
That’s pure insanity. There isn’t room in a good engineering curriculum for that much of that crap. BME and MSME here, old school.
It is inherently unfair that only people who make a positive contribution to the overall value of the universe be allowed to have access to limited resources

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Social Justice, Whitey Must Pay, Black Privilege, Rain Is Racist, Say De Bitches Namb, Gibs Me Dat.

Yeah, sure, got it.
Wait over there around the corner, I’ll bring you the money...

It’s not an education it’s a lobotomy...
“Math science and engineering are all racist, don’t you know. 2+2 can be 5 if you feeeeel good about yourself.”
And you don’t mind if your pedestrian bridge drops in the street, killing multiple construction workers & people in the cars on the street.
The thing is people with college degrees often get into position to power and a lot of them shouldn’t be anywhere near power
My son’s Cal State campus requires three. One Diversity Studies, one Global Studies, one Ethnic Studies. He’s taking music classes for the first two but the last one is trickier. I wish they offered Jews as an oppressed class but they don’t so he’s going with Asians. He’s white and I figured he might as well study a “successful minority,” so to speak.
Good line — I will steal it :).
