\"\"<\/p>\n

In my book I detail how academic fraud is systemic in higher education, detailing how our corrupted accreditation system and corrupt \u201cleadership\u201d have allowed what used to be the greatest university system into the world to debase into predominantly a massive scan to indebt and enslave our kids.<\/p>\n

That was over 5 years ago, and things have changed. I\u2019m strongly considering writing a new addition, with at least one new chapter discussing how corruption of the system has led to a fresh debasement: our campuses are turning into indoctrination centers, engulfing students into a self-destructive and academically irrelevant system of belief.<\/p>\n

It used to be every college course was designed with an academic, or at least professional, purpose in mind. No course could exist unless it had a good answer to the question of \u201cwhat future improvement does this course prepare you for?\u201d With ideology now trumping academics, this question is no longer relevant, and the only question that now matters seems to be \u201cdoes this reinforce our ideology and indoctrination?\u201d A recently highlighted course demonstrates what I say:<\/p>\n

University offers \u2018Problematizing Whiteness\u2019 course<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

One might hope from the title that perhaps this course would look at how \u201cwhiteness\u201d is being falsely demonized and misrepresented in our media narrative, to prepare students to fight the constant lies being forced on them every day. Such hopes are quickly dashed:<\/p>\n

CU Denver ethnic studies class: \u2018educating for racial justice\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

In March, I wrote on the \u201cAmerican Political Thought<\/strong>\u201d course offered by the political science department at the University of Colorado Denver that deliberately removed all white males and their contributions from the curriculum,..<\/em><\/p>\n

Wow, imagine trying to remove all black males from the curriculum\u2026the shrieking in protest could be (rightfully) heard from orbit. Why is this type of racism so tolerated? This course indoctrinates students, often white students, into hating themselves and the majority population. How could this possibly prepare them for anything more?<\/p>\n

One of the commenters immediately spells out what a disaster it is for students to be taking this course:<\/p>\n

As an employer I will start to require transcripts to see if the applicant chose any of these courses as an elective. That applicant will be promptly eliminated from consideration. Too great a risk<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So apparently this course will be preparing students for complete unemployability. Whether the employer is black or white, he\u2019s still making a sound business decision, as you simply can\u2019t have employees who have been trained to hate and disrespect a broad swath of the customer base. Of course, if the employer is white, he can\u2019t hire people trained like this because they\u2019re very like to hurt him in some way because of his skin color.<\/p>\n

A college course is supposed to have college work and college material in it. A look at the syllabus<\/a> will tell us what we really are going to learn in this course. Before going on, I want to emphasize anyone who wants a college education can do so without going into debt, as many colleges put their entire curriculum and syllabi for courses on line. Both teacher and grader of this course are almost certainly not white males, incidentally.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with a quick course description:<\/p>\n

Critical Whiteness Studies provides a deeper analysis of race that accounts for both sides of the race coin: the plight of people of color AND how Whites are complicit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Um\u2026citation needed? \u201cPeople of color\u201d in the United States are much, much, better off than the \u201cpeople of color\u201d in Africa, where whites are far fewer in number. In light of this empirical and easily observed evidence, I\u2019m having a tough time accepting the premise of the course, and I don\u2019t see how this could be approved in any legitimate academic setting.<\/p>\n

The course comes with a warning:<\/p>\n

No permission to record any lecture or discussion without my written approval first.<\/em><\/p>\n

And yet again I see reason to disallow this course on campus. Granted, such recordings should be made with permission as a matter of politeness, but I worry that the un-truths discussed here would cause problems if the people paying for the teaching (i.e., taxpayers) knew the kind of \u201cstuff\u201d they were being forced to pay for.<\/p>\n

This is, incidentally, a 4000 level, senior level course, and does have a number of books assigned. That\u2019s promising, at least, though I certainly have some concerns over the kind of ideological material in those books (to judge by the titles).<\/p>\n

There don\u2019t appear to be any actual assignments, however, so (thankfully?) the students can do well in the course even if they don\u2019t read the books. For the most part, students will sit in the classroom and talk about their feelings.<\/p>\n

What are the objectives here?<\/p>\n

I respect that this topic is so blatantly fake that their \u201cacademic language\u201d (aka \u201cnewspeak\u201d) is so dense that it needs to be translated to \u201ceveryday speak\u201d for anyone to make sense of it. That said, this is a senior level course intended for students who\u2019ve been studying this stuff for 3 years. 3 years of training, enough to become quite conversational in any language on Earth, is not enough to learn even the rudiments of a discipline which obviously has worked quite hard to make itself as vague as possible.<\/p>\n

Again I wonder what these courses are for, if after three years the courses don\u2019t even prepare students for the courses. What?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just look at one discussion topic:<\/p>\n

Theme 2: How Does One Become White And Uphold Whiteness? Psychoanalytics and Dialectics Of Whiteness?<\/em><\/p>\n

Wait\u2026you can become white? If that\u2019s all there is to it, then why not just declare everyone white and call it a day? The \u201coppression\u201d would end overnight and then we wouldn\u2019t need these courses.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the issue remains: how does this material prepare anyone for anything but ideological servitude?<\/p>\n
