I think you'll find that most universities require at least one course on global or intercultural studies, although how each university approaches the subject area differs. At CU Boulder, for example, students take two courses, one with a U.S. focus while the other has a global focus. For the U.S. focus, the courses range from Economics of Inequality and Discrimination to American Indian Religious Traditions. The global focus courses range from Ancient Astronomies of the World to Introduction to Global Public Health
I’ve yet to work on a single commercial engineering task that didn’t require “group work”.
I clearly wrote about educational strategies in the classroom. Of course certain workplaces require group work. That's an entirely different situation than a high school classroom.
Here is the big study that is all the rage right now. If you scroll way down, you will found cooperative/collaborative learning. This isn't much of a surprise to teachers who have had their eyes open.
Wisconsin I've noticed is overwhelmingly White, that's why I suspect all these "ethnic studies" are enforced there.

Minorities have a tough time graduating from UW-Madison, despite all kinds of academic help and special programs being provided for them. Less than half (45.2%) graduate in 4 years. Non-minority students' 4-year graduation rate is better, at 62%, but still lower than would be expected from a school whose 25-75% ACT score admissions range is 27-31 (average score: 29, 93rd-percentile).

The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,'
they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

Huh? The courses aren't all specific to a specific minority population, they include a basic cultural anthropology course and a few in sociology. Ethnicity =/= race. https://uwmadison.app.box.com/s/go86...f2ibnypybr8y3y
Good grief...the study is as applicable to college or elementary or secondary education.
Enjoy yourself.
Speak for yourself; we weren’t discussing high school “group projects”, and even it we can were, how does your link prove that “group work” shouldn’t be part of secondary education, as was being discussed?
"Cooperative learning" entails more than "group projects." Are you about done here?
And did you just use a semicolon?
Are you done? That doesn’t disprove my point.
