Our taxpayer dollars well spent. Education? More like authoritarian indoctrination. And I see the Left is quite fond of making lists these days....although it didn't go too well for AOC and her committee rejections:



The “complaints and demands” section announces that the students will “create a White-List of all those white professors who define and list themselves as diversity initiative conveners, race experts and researchers” who also fail to support hiring a diverse senior leadership team.

“You white professors do not need research to find out about systemic racism at URI,” say the students, because they are “part and parcel of the creation and maintenance of systemic racism at URI through your self-serving policies, unapologetic excuses, discriminatory behavior and your hegemonic culture of impunity.”

In addition to the “White-List,” the Diversity Think Tank called for mandatory classes on racism, diversity, and pluralism for first-year students. It also stated that the school’s students will launch a class-action lawsuit against the university if its next president is not an “African-American with an ancestry to slavery.”

Supporters of the initiative requested that classes on the “U.S. Constitution and Rights, Sociology and other classes should be listed with Africana Department codes and cross-listed to various departments (not the other way around).”

Is this a joke? We need a lecture on "authoritarian indoctrination". From a neo-fascist Proud Boy?

Seems like these punks really hate URI. Pretty weird to be spending all that tuition on a school that "racist and horrible", when there are so many other colleges and universities that would be happy to take them geniuses?

Sadly, as is often the case in Rhody, this story is actually nowhere near as bad as what is happening on campuses in other blue states.


But it was topical, so...

College kids do a lot of these things nowadays- it's quite fashionable- and actually has been since the 1960s.

They have zero standing for a class action lawsuit.

Except, in the 60s, our Colleges didn't force feed our young citizens Critical Race Theory and Intersectionalism, whilst telling them they are irredeemably racist if they are white.


(Yeah, it's a thing now....)

Post a link showing in which dept are these courses and whether they are required for all students.

You did use the term "force feed".

There are no course. It’s a wish list from the URI Diversity Thank Tank.

This article here is as good a place as any to start: https://www.city-journal.org/critica...can-classrooms


In fact, it's far more pervasive than just college classrooms. It's also being taught in lower grades, and being embedded into work places.


And, yes, when white teachers are told they must acknowledge their "privilege" or they cannot teach, "force feed" is an accurate description.


This has been going on for years, but really ramped up when BLM had their moment in the "sun" last summer.
