PROFESSORS DEMAND THE END OF EDUCATION
Noted rising star historian, KC Johnson, reports that the American Association of University Professors has voted in favor of ending liberal arts education - i.e. the premise upon which universities are founded and for which most are funded with taxpayer dollars - and replacing it with " diversity" training. The code word for viciously indocrinating students to have the correct opinions on race, gender and social issues as described by the current trends in "Crit Theory " and other, more obscure, forms of bastardized Marxism.
Aren't these the same tenured clowns who are concerned that the David Horowitz's proposed Academic Bill of Rights would impinge on the tenet of academic freedom ?
Well, if we're trashing liberal arts let's get rid of tenure too and fire their sorry, authoritarian zealot asses. They can discuss the hidden transgender meanings in Cornel West's latest pack of gibberish on the unemployment line.
UPDATE: SPEAK OF THE DEVIL !
David Beito of Liberty& Power blog alerts HNN readers to an attempt to impose mandatory diversity training of the most noxious, " whiteness studies", left-wing fascist, kind at the University of Alabama. The " white privilige " theory, by the way, is a concept that came out of the arguments within the New Left as the most violent fringe of the SDS were breaking apart into the Weathermen terrorists and various neo-Stalinist factions.
