AZ bill bans ‘social justice’ classes, events at public schools, universities

EAG: PHOENIX – An Arizona state lawmakers wants to impose funding cuts to public schools and universities that promote divisive social justice curriculums, events and activities.

Rep. Bob Thorpe recently introduced legislation to expand on state law that bans ethnic studies courses that promote resentment toward other races that would add bans for classes and activities that divide students based on gender, religion, political affiliation or social class, Capitol Media Services reports.

HB 2120, which Thorpe said “is Draft No. 1,” would prohibit schools from promoting such classes and events, as well as those that “negatively target specific nationalities or countries,” and authorize the state’s attorney general to withhold up to 10 percent of state aid to those that refuse.  MORE

  1. I have often wondered about things being taught in public funded schools, they cannot say the lords prayer but, racism, misogony, bigotry?
    A-OK, as long as it’s shown to be good for the ‘social welfare/warfare’.

  2. Good lawdie. 10% of the professors and 25% of the staff are going to be outta work. Student are going to forced to take classes that will do them some good once they get outta college. There could be a shortage of baristas and drive up window attendants.

  3. The sooner we get state funding for technical colleges the better off we will be. We need to get out of funding public paid universities that are nothing more than leftist seminaries.

  4. Publick [sic] Universities needs to dump the concept of tenure in favor of meritocracy. They need to be operated as a business, with an oversight group made up of taxpayers and “normal” (non-academic) types.

    Math is racist. And sexist. Scrap that. What else you got?

  6. Stop forcing the taxpayers to support businesses disguised as schools.
    All the shit would be solved in a matter of seconds if the “gov’t” quit funding them.
    Academia is a scam which should be obvious to all but the most ignorant or partisan (and they know it’s a scam, they just won’t admit it) among us.
