The measure will overrule reforms approved by the university’s Board of Trustees last month that required students to take ethnic studies and social justice courses on a wider array of marginalized communities, including Jewish, Muslim and LGBTQ groups.


I really want to take an Islamic woman studies course dealing with the female experience in Muslim societies.

At this point, isn’t it redundant? Everything is ethnic studies.

I had to take some multicultural requirement classes, so I took “The Glory of Greece” and “The History of Rome”.

We didn’t have to take some Black, Jew, or Homo class though.

UCSD (San Diego) had a similar requirement when my son was attending. He signed up for a class with a black, lesbian, uber-feminist instructor. After berating and attacking all the whites in the class (particularly white males), she gave only the whites their first assignment. They had to write a paper on how their parents instilled racist values in their lives and how this was really a measure of how their parents hated the student.

My son immediately dropped the class and fulfilled the requirement by taking a Jazz Appreciation class. It was the only class he dropped in his university time. His response to the whole scene was, “Seriously?”

In the 70’s a course on propaganda analysis was required at Iowa State University to graduate.

We supposedly learned how the older generation was lying to us. I leaned how everyone was lying to me.

Wouldn’t it be more educational if they required the Students to actually LIVE in these ethnic countries??

Venezuela 30 days
Saudi Arabia 30 days
Cuba 30 days

they will learn a hell of a lot more than those books say

Because, apparently, CA students are not getting enough radical propaganda already.

The change comes amid the national reckoning over racism

How many times has this trite "national reckoning over racism" line been parroted in the press? The mainstream media sure likes to push a talking point/narrative.

The title is wrong. The truth is contained in the body of the article. They don't need "ethnic" studies.

........will need to take an ethic studies course....

They need courses on ethics. All kommiefornia politicians must be forced to study ethics. Actually, the entire west coast should be force fed a steady diet of ethics. And kolorado, new york, Illinois.......

The AP site has “ethnic” in the headline, “ethic” in the lead of the story.

Proofreaders, anyone? Fact-checkers?

By definition, a group that can force you to take a course in marginalized communities isn’t marginalized. You are the one who is marginalized.

Under that plan, students could have met their graduation requirement by taking courses on social justice that explored issues such as the criminal justice system and public health disparities.

Liberals are constantly braying about "Social Justice," but just what the hell is it?

Trust me when I say it - it won’t matter. College has become a total joke and the only ones that haven’t caught on are the idiots still paying absurd sums to get the “title.” Nothing is learned, and nothing is retained. “I pretend to teach, they pretend to learn.” Education 2020.

In his second term, Trump should sign a bill requiring all schools, colleges and universities getting federal aid money of any sort to require a “Western Civilization and Its Contributions” Course, co-designed by Hillsdale College and Prager University.
