From Fox News:
A student whistleblower sent six weeks worth of presentations from professor Gabriel Rodriguez’s EDUC 201 course, a first semester freshman year class for teaching majors at the state’s flagship university, to Fox News Digital on the condition of anonymity.
The course is called “Identity and Difference in Education.”
“It’s very obvious that [the course] is pretty liberal,” the student told Fox News Digital. “The first week, my professor opened up with, you know, teaching in polarizing times, and he talks about how you need to be political and really, what he meant was you need to be liberal.”
Several problematic statements are made in the slideshow, and liberal-leaning news agencies are cited.
In one example, slide nine of the presentation states, “Remember: Schools are a part of a larger political system. As such, education, at its core is inherently political.
“School is a political place because so many adults (e.g., educators, policymakers, parents) have a vested interest in the future generation.”
Another slide provides advice on the use of preferred pronouns, pushing for embracing “diverse and intersectional LGBTQ+ experiences.”
DEI isn't dead. Leftists are just trying to hide their efforts from federal scrutiny.
