Professors lament distrust in ‘expertise,’ blame ‘right-wing agendas’

Dave Huber - Associate Editor — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 16:09:32 +0000

‘Expertise is … premised on the understanding that not all opinions are equally valid’ A pair of Arizona State University professors recently penned an op-ed in which they tell college administrators “Enough with the free-speech rhetoric!” How come? Because such “concedes too much to right-wing agendas.” Richard Amesbury (religious studies and philosophy) and Catherine O’Donnell (history)…

School district’s English as Second Language training zeroes in on … oppression

Dave Huber - Associate Editor — Sun, 01 Oct 2023 22:19:20 +0000

A Canadian school district’s training for ESL — English as a Second Language — teachers apparently had little to do with the teaching of The King’s, opting instead to focus on oppression and ways to combat it. The York Region District School Board training session on “anti-oppression agreements” drew content in part from Glenn Singleton (“Courageous Conversations”) and Robin DiAngelo (“White…

Professor: Don’t dare blame bully anti-racism trainer for principal’s suicide

Dave Huber - Associate Editor — Sat, 12 Aug 2023 04:33:56 +0000

If there’s one subset of the population that knows how to take hyperbole to the Nth level, it’s progressives in the realm of academia. Anything with which they disagree is “anti”-whatever (protesting pornographic displays by drag queens is “anti-gay” or “anti-trans”), and simple words — even silence — are “violence.” And how many times have we seen progressives clamor for “safe spaces” so that…

Sorry, progressives — the Supreme Court just ruled that ‘colorblindness’ lives on

Dave Huber - Associate Editor — Sun, 02 Jul 2023 00:56:31 +0000

‘Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens’ Progressives, most especially in the education realm, consider the philosophy of “colorblindness” — where people are judged on their merits and actions rather than skin color — to be anathema. One of the main reasons, they say, is because it allows (white) people “to distance [themselves] from the racial…

Why do so many have a problem with ‘equity’?

Dave Huber - Associate Editor — Sat, 17 Sep 2022 04:33:28 +0000

“When did equity become a trigger word?” Education Week wondered recently. Columnist Stephen Sawchuk is genuinely flummoxed by those who question what the modern version of equity entails. “As someone with many years’ experience writing about schools,” Sawchuk writes, how can, for example, a school board member in Oregon believe that equity is about “trying to force the same set of outcomes for…

Former school administrator fights back against ‘anti-racism’ program’s racist abuse

An assistant superintendent compared parents who objected to ‘rapist slave owners’ A former school administrator in Virginia has sued the Albemarle County School Board for “creating a racially hostile work environment” that “forced her to leave her job.” The Alliance Defending Freedom reports Assistant Principal Emily Mais was subjected to Glenn Singleton’s “Courageous Conversations” training…

U. Pennsylvania basketball players sit for National Anthem, coach thinks you’re stupid

Dave Huber - Associate Editor — Sat, 20 Nov 2021 14:00:44 +0000

Members of the University of Pennsylvania men’s basketball team, as well as several coaches, have been keeping “conversations” about race going this season — by remaining seated during the National Anthem at games. The team feels racial issues have been “pushed to the background post-George Floyd, the verdict,” and as such wants to talk racial boilerplate such as the “prison industrial complex,”…

St. Paul, Minnesota schools continue to flirt with disaster

Dave Huber - Associate Editor — Sat, 19 Jun 2021 12:24:45 +0000

It appears that officials in the St. Paul, Minnesota Public Schools just never learn. Five years ago The College Fix summarized some of the educational nonsense the district had imposed upon its teachers and public, as well as the inanity from pressure groups to which the district had succumbed. As of that time, St. Paul had spent millions — yes, millions — on typical progressive educationist…

Attempting to grasp the PSYCHOanalysis of academic race grifters

Dave Huber - Associate Editor — Sat, 12 Jun 2021 22:08:41 +0000

The last week or so has been somewhat of a gold mine of insight into the thinking of academic race grifters. For instance, it was brought to light that an Ivy League institution brought in a forensic psychoanalyst to give a talk titled “The Psychopathic Problem of the White Mind.” Aside from the fact that such a title with any other race or ethnicity would get the lecturer canceled for life…

Critical race theory, ‘whiteness’ reach new absurd and inane heights

Dave Huber - Associate Editor — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 04:33:13 +0000

‘What is most arresting about critical race theory is that…it turns its back on the Western tradition of rational inquiry, forswearing analysis for narrative. Rather than marshal logical arguments and empirical data, critical race theorists tell stories — fictional, science-fictional, quasi-fictional, autobiographical, anecdotal—designed to expose the pervasive and debilitating racism of America…
