Rod Dreher article on "anti-racism" at LSU

Interesting article by Rod Dreher from yesterday about the push to require all LSU students to take an "anti-racism" class as a condition of graduation, as well as the racially-discriminatory faculty hiring policies imposed by the LSU administration.

And this:
Take a look at Dreher's article--it includes direct links to the resolution calling for a required "anti-racism" class as well as to the discriminatory hiring policies imposed by the LSU administration.

AAAS2000 (African & African American Studies) would be a course in which students are indoctrinated in “antiracist” ideology, Critical Race Theory, and the like. From the description here, it is not mere history; it is highly ideologized history (“intersecting oppression”). And if this passes the LSU Faculty Senate, taking this course in left-wing racialism would be a requirement of graduating from LSU. Just imagine how difficult it would be for any student to challenge the professor in this class. To do so would cause one to out oneself as a racist, in the eyes of these ideologues. Dissenters will be intimidated into silence.
And this:

I am also told that LSU has imposed discriminatory guidelines for faculty hiring. Academic and professional merit and accomplishment? That’s on the back burner. Race is what matters....
This is an astonishing abdication of academic integrity and responsibility, in favor of an ideology of racial preference. There should be lawsuits. How is it legal that race can be used to such an extent in determining hiring policies and curriculum requirements at a public university?

This proposal comes from faculty members affiliated with AAAS [African & African American Studies], but what is interesting is that the Black Student Athletes Association has provided the impetus for this proposal. This is just great: student athletes at LSU dictating academic requirements and curriculum for the entire university, with the complicity of LSU faculty who would like to impose a singular racial world view on all students enrolled in the university.
I found this bit to be the most interesting part, the freaking football/basketball/whatever teams are dictating curriculum. How the frick do you let it get this bad where STUDENTS are making the rules of what needs to be taught at a school? If my arse had been forced to sit through one of these anti-white classes I would have never graduated from LSU.

So a class on communism wrapped in a equality bow? What could go wrong?

If the tenured faculty doesn't stand up and quash this, they will prove themselves to be the worthless fricks I assume they are.

Add to that three hours of Grievance Studies, if the Faculty Senate proposal passes. So what’s going to go from the list above to make room for the mandatory Grievance Studies class? LSU requires no classes in Greek philosophy and thought, none in literature, none in history, none in philosophy, or in any of the foundations of a traditional Western education. You may take these courses to fulfill general requirements above, but you are not required to do so. But if this proposal passes the Faculty Senate, the university will have declared that it is more important for LSU graduates to have had instruction in “intersectional oppression” than Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Milton, Locke, or any of the other greats.
What does that tell you about the future of the university?
It says the university would be more interested in sending out graduates more interested in closed-minded anger than in open-minded contemplation.
The name says it all. "Grievance Studies" can literally be translated to "the study of bitching".

The worst group of students dictating curriculum to the rest? Maybe we should fire all admins and let the woke athletes manage the joint.
