America’s universities rapidly becoming “thought-free zones” as left-wing bubble excludes all conservatives speakers, debates and events

Wednesday, December 27, 2017 by: Jayson Veley   


(Natural News) It goes without saying that the goal of America’s colleges and universities should be to educate upcoming generations and provide them with the tools and the skills that they need to succeed in life. Schools should be encouraging young people to think openly and independently, even if it means exposing them to opinions and viewpoints that are polar opposites of their own. This is what a healthy, productive education system would look like; sadly, this is far from how the education system in the United States operates.

And just yesterday an article was posted claiming that conservative thought was gaining a foothold in American universities.

All I'm convinced of is the fact that there are a lot of journalists and bloggers who need to get real jobs.

Academic: Teachers must prevent 'assimilation' of 'whiteness'

* The SIT Graduate Institute recently published a thesis paper calling for educators to "promote racial identity exploration" so that students of color don't "assimilate to whiteness."

* Without active, ongoing efforts to cultivate ethnic pride, the paper warns, immigrants and students of color will “begin to see how society works” and learn to emulate those “whose behavior is acceptable and rewarded.”

An academic paper published by the SIT Graduate Institute calls on educators to “promote racial identity exploration” so that students of color do not “assimilate” into the dominant culture.

The author, Hadiel Mohamed, says her research “aims to answer how educators can incorporate ethnic/racial identity development in the classroom for youth of color who are driven to pursue Whiteness,” making clear as she goes along that she views “assimilation” as an unambiguously negative outcome.

"When [people] use racial slurs, microaggressions, or ask the daunting question, ‘where are you from,’ the internalization is damaging." 

“Historically, our education system has been used as an oppressive tool for people of color,” she contends, attributing the condition to “the lack of representation within adults, distance caused by one-sided material, denial of racial tensions or experiences, and implicit bias from educators, classmates, and administration.”   ...  Yes, the rest of this idiot's theories are just as ridiculous as you might expect (from Campus Reform)
