    This is that strain of DNA still in the Democratic party, leftover from slavery and Jim Crow
    It is the work of the Democratic Elite establishment that the Roosevelts belonged to

    Binghamton University slaps down professor's 'progressive stacking' section of syllabus for 'non-white folks'

    A professor for a sociology course at Binghamton University used her syllabus to tell students that priority is given to "non-white folks" in picking students to call on for classroom discussions.

    The syllabus was for a course titled "Social Change - Introduction to Sociology," which is being taught this spring by professor Ana Maria Candela.

    A copy of the syllabus states that the professor practices "progressive stacking" during classroom discussions, adding that "non-white folks" are given priority for being called on.

    "This means that we try to give priority to non-white folks, to women, and to shy and quiet people who rarely raise their hands," the syllabus read.

    The syllabus adds, "It also means that if you are white, male, or someone privileged by the racial and gender structures of our society to have your voice easily voiced and heard, we will often ask you to hold off on your questions or comments to give others priority and will come back to you a bit later or at another time."

    In explaining the policy, Candela wrote in the syllabus that it is meant to help privileged individuals "hold space" for others who are "less comfortable speaking first."


    Is the problem being caused by Educated White women...are these women becoming white saviors who feel they have to save the minorities...
    They tend to look this way, sometimes with orange or blue streaked hair

  4. There certainly are some crazy professors out there but the part of the article you left out is:

    A Binghamton University spokesperson said that the professor's syllabus violates the faculty staff handbook and said that the syllabus has been updated, with the "progressive stacking" section removed.



    So the system works and strikes down such bullshit rather quickly and does not s upport it...

    they can't find k-12 examples so have to look at the college level now. We all know there's plenty of yahoo profs w/strange ideas there.

    You are arguing in a different direction.
    White people who pay for classes should get the same deference as all other paying students
    "This means that we try to give priority to non-white folks,

    This gets back to the reality that students in college are adults. And CRT-based education is appropriate for college-aged students. As long as the courses are voluntary and not mandatory --- the universities & their professors should be allowed to use CRT-based education methods on appropriate courses. A history course is appropriate while a calculus course is not.

    CRT-based education methods & lesson plans are not appropriate for K-12 aged children. The reality is that these methods are appropriate for educating adults about history and the original CRT-based lesson plans were designed to be used in a university environment.

    A state legislature or state official trying to ban CRT-based education at universities is not appropriate. It is significant overreach -- and nothing more than political posturing.
