A group of students at Seattle University have taken over a university dean's office, saying they won't leave unless the dean resigns and the school grants a set of demands that would heavily politicize the humanities curriculum.
Matteo Ricci College is one of eight schools at Seattle University, and focuses on the study of humanities. But the students who have taken over dean Jodi Kelly's office say the college's current curriculum is utterly stifling, and they have published a lengthy list of demands for changes.
Chief among their demands is an order for the school to adopt a new curriculum that "decentralizes Whiteness and has a critical focus on the evolution of systems of oppression such as racism, capitalism, colonialism, etc." The curriculum should be taught by "professors of color and queer professors" and should place particular emphasis not on traditional educational concepts but instead on "racism, gentrification, sexism, colonialism, imperialism, global white supremacy, and other ethical questions about systems of power."

My guess there are four or five real disrupters, and the rest are just useful idiots.
And then let the dogs loose.
While they are there instantly transform the college into a correctional facility, the stupid will not have to go far to do time
Where do students who, by definition, are ignorant of the subjects they are being taught, get off with complaining about the overall content of the curriculum that’s there to eliminate their ignorance? For example, as a retired lawyer I can say I went to law school to learn about the law, of which I was substantially ignorant before I went to law school. The same’s true of students of any other branch of learning from auto mechanics to medical doctors. All these ignorant, bigoted fools want to do is tear down a carefully developed curriculum and replace it with ideological indoctrination.
Seattle U is a (previously Catholic) private school and focuses mostly on liberal arts.
Or, I don’t know, maybe it’s still a Catholic school. I can’t afford to go there anyway.
Agreed, if done swiftly it would cut down on this c**p.
If you could afford it, it probably wouldn’t do you much good.
