Yup.

Except this course was developed to promote racism and hate and "progressive" politics so it was an exception to the rule.

How? By teaching about African history— in African and the diaspora? By teaching about black artists, scientists, musicians? By reading Toni Morrison? Even discussing the concept of reparations has merit if your goal is to create a critical thinker who can explain the pros and cons.

The Tulsa Race Massacre, the Tuskegee experiments , the Tuskegee airmen, the Harlem Renaissance, the fact that some slave owners were Black, the history of Africa and Africans selling their own people into slavery— these are some of the topics covered. I didn’t learn about any of these in school. Did you?

One of the most popular courses at my university was African American history 1 and 2.

The class was popular student body wide. It was a really hard class in the sense that the subject matter was heavy and not easy to hear, read and absorb. The class was galvanizing, it made me think and feel. It made me angry, mournful, empathetic and in the end proud of the resilience of those who came before. That class that forever changed the way I looked at my country and my fellow country men. It was a powerful experience. It is American history and a very significant part of it that more people should be exposed to.

I was taught that the value in education was not in the monetary worth of it but that it is the only thing that once obtained can’t be taken away from you, you can take a persons livelihood, their freedom, their family and their health but you can’t take away an education. Their is nothing else you can obtain in this life that has that power.

This is the fear of these crazy anti education republicans. An educated electorate is a danger to their hate fueled existence. Not for the reasons that they are willing to speak of, not the anti white nonsense they spout off about but for the part they don’t speak of, that is that if this country actually dealt openly with its past then they’d lose one of their best bogeyman wedge issues. DeSantis is disgusting.

As a Jew, I would not want the holocaust taught from the perspective of all Germans were responsible.

Where in the syllabus does it say that all Americans were responsible?

The generalization is ‘white people’ . There were plenty of white people who took part in the Underground Railroad, just like there were plenty of Germans that hid the Jews to protect them.

Where in the syllabus does it say that all white people were responsible?

We already know that’s what’s being taught in colleges, and how white people are supposed to apologize for their privilege. Do I expect all Germans to apologize for the Holocaust? No. That’s ridiculous

Hi, we are talking about this one course. Where in the syllabus does it say that all Americans or that all white Americans are responsible.

The syllabus is transparent. It's not AA Studies but woke propaganda posing as AA Studies.

Wokes must think AAs are dumb and won't notice being hijacked.

State exactly what in the syllabus you disagree with. Specific things. List them. And what your issue is in specific terms, not just saying something is woke, which means nothing.

Sweetie, get in the habit of doing your own homework. Much better for your life ahead than the course's intersectional mumbovjumbo.

How do we “know” that? Can you quote? I want to hear a specific teacher say a specific thing.

White people apologizing for their privilege means nothing. Changing our society so that racial privilege is no longer a thing would be meaningful.

You take this awfully personally. Guilty conscience?

Honeybun, I’ve looked at the syllabus and it looks great to me. The question is what YOU find offensive. I can’t read your mind or speak for you.

No, but all Germans should be aware of what their nation did in the past. They need to understand how and why their predecessors went down that path.

+1. In order not to repeat the past you must understand and know it.

Why all the sticking heads in sand?

That's all you got, Archie Bunker? Not particularly convincing of anything other than you were not successful at writing argumentative essays in highschool. Try to explain yourself or you're just a troll. 3 pages of comments later, still asking for andj explanation that is more than "woke is bad" and you have nothing but insults and deflection, which only convinces people in the middle who might actually listen to you that there is no good argument.

Are white people being told to apologize for their privilege or not? By who? Are colleges pushing this narrative?

This.

Plus, they make college affordability even worse as students must spend months in remedial education courses.

She doesn't know exactly what page the "intersectional mumbo jumbo" and "CRT" are on because she hasn't actually read the syllabus. She's just taught to bark on command by right wing media.

The "anti woke" folks clearly need to return to school as none of them can articulate a coherent response othet than insults or jokes.l, ironically weakening any argument in their favor with every post. They have no argument other than insults and deflection and jokes.
