As for "university professors" pushing this crap, they are all professors of pseudo-academic topics such as Gender Studies or Gay Studies or Ethnic Studies or Human Sexuality Studies or.... get ready for it.... Education. Our schools are run by flunkies who graduate with degrees which are tainted by fake academics and the one area that has been most impacted by these frauds is education. Universities have allowed this cancer to grow within their institutions and it has now metastasized and is in the process of infecting the rest of society.

Educational reform is needed at all levels, but one thing I'd do immediately would be to delegitimatize all the fake college degrees including those you list: Gender Studies, Gay Studies, Human Sexuality Studies, Ethnic Studies, etc. and Education. I'd also include a few others. The strategy I'd recommend is to simply strip the title of DOCTOR from anyone with a doctorate in any of these areas. I'd do the same to the idea of holding a master's or bachelor's degree in any of these areas also. I'd put these areas of pseudo-intellectual study into a separate category and only allow the titles of Associate and Curator to be used: Those with Bachelor's Degrees in these areas would be re-categorized as having earned an Associate's Degree and those with Master's and Doctorates would be re-categorized as holding a Curator's Degree. On top of that these academic majors would be expunged from the university system and simply cease to be recognized as areas of legitimate study. As for education majors, there would still be teacher credentialing programs, but there would be no advanced degrees or even Bachelor's degrees offered. A prospective teacher would be required to earn a Bachelor's degree in a legitimate area of study and those desiring an advanced degree would have to complete a legitimate academic program. There would be no more pseudo-academic programs which exist for the sake of giving intellectually inferior people recognition they do not deserve.

Woke Math
Math is the most objective reality which exists. To deny that is pure insanity.

Professor suspended over past tweets
This professor is not backing down. He has the law 100% on his side and the the people running the university must be complete idiots to have moved against him as they have. Shear lunacy mixed with pure stupidity.... a very common combination in the last couple years.

Boston CANCELS School Program For Being 'Too White and Asian', Amazon BANS Conservative Books
Seventy percent of the students who qualified were either white or Asian and that's after they spotted Hispanics and blacks 30 IQ points! In other words if the qualification requirements were the same, it would have been 95% white and Asian!

Pennsylvania math professor suspended over tweets opposing slavery reparations
This kind of bullshit has got to stop. There's no room for this kind of retaliation for simply expressing a politically incorrect idea. The bigger problem here is that this guy was absolutely right in everything he said. The truth should not shut down and it's shameful and disgusting when academic institutions shut down the truth!

Former KGB operative on the 'DESTABLIZATION' of America
Socialist ideas infiltrated our school system back in the 1960s and 1970s. Companies which make textbooks are full of socialist leaning people on their staffs. Politicians push these ideas and radical special interest groups push these ideas. This is an attack on America and a large percentage of Americans are too stupid to realize it!

Here's exactly what the math professor tweeted:
Suppose your great-great-grandfather murdered someone. The victim's great-great-grandson knocks on your door, shows you the newspaper clipping from 1905, and demands compensation from you. Your response?
That seems like the perfect comparison as far as I'm concerned. The idea of reparations is complete lunacy and there's nothing wrong with stating this self-evident truth!

Mad Lad Infiltrates College Meeting and Drops Tit*y Pu*sy Meme MOAB
This is a funny troll. These critical race theory idiots deserve all the disrespect that can be sent in their direction! BTW, MOAB stands for Mother Of All Bombs.

GayBCs' LGBTQ Alphabet Book Is Pure Child Grooming Material
I have nothing against people who practice alternative lifestyles, but the schools aren't the place to push these agendas. This is personal stuff and not something that should be part of the public school curriculum, especially at the elementary school grades.

Forbidden Dr. Seuss! Doug TenNapel in Exile
The lunatic left is at it again. Dr. Seuss is probably the greatest children's author of all time. His books are classics and they are exactly the kind of thing parents and teachers should be reading to children!
