This professor won't bend to California's 'woke' curriculum

[@commonsense126]

I was a professor of computer science in Mississippi. Our population is almost 40% African American. My Classes were quite popular with this demographic. Why? I supported students. I liked the students, and I would help students if I could. I also worked very hard to communicate technical ideas as clearly as I could. I did not need to shift to a new social ideology; I needed to help each student to achieve their best.

[@davidr9876]

That is no longer what many districts want out of their teaching staff. Job 1 is to tow the party line, job 2 is to teach the subject. We're shaping hearts and minds here people, get with the program or get out of our way - my interpretation of the mindset of a captured education system.

I am an autistic heterosexual white male. For people like me, academia is a horrible racist and sexist paradigm. Academics see an individual as being deserving of social demotion, based on being a white male. And even though autistics have a long history of being marginalized, stigmatized, and under-served, academia casts our challenges as negligible. The academic position is, "there is always some old white male who believe he's had challenges in his life." When I go out, I always have the prospect of encountering someone who feels the right to "lean into their identity" by non-verbally leaning into me, just like every other white male. However, my autism prevents me from detecting their non-verbal bully force and all of a sudden I have "confirmed" that I am deep-seated something-or-other. Academia has knowingly created a hostile and toxic social environment for everyone who has an academically assigned villainy, coupled with an academically exploitable disability. Academia has re-engineered society, so we go from workable marginalization to outright social expulsion. At 68 years-old, I've seen and felt the change. I had a much better chance when I entered kindergarten in 1960, than a little 5 year-old autistic white male has today. Our only option is become the most litigious in the history of the world. Every student who wears academically imposed social stains needs a lawyer and a litigation plan before setting foot on any campus. A lot of academics deserve to end up flat-busted broke, living in a dumpster, and eating whatever garbage is thrown into their home.

The fact that Jordan Peterson has to go to reeducation for having opinions that we all had until yesterday and 99% of people still have is the scariest thing, it's like North Korea's Communist education camps. I would love to be a fly on the wall though I mean can you imagine some woke idiot thinking they can educate Jordan Peterson ah. I hope this guy gets support I have a little bit of I science background and there's no racism there at all.

Carbon good, as well as bad depending upon the logic? This is subject matter, not conscripted phony baloney.

@@droogie76 If one is taught how to research properly, they will have no issues with learning. Besides: I wouldn't trust this Educational System to teach anyone anything!

I’m a student trying to go the nursing route I decided to do this right before a quarter started and ending up having to enroll in my two psych pre reqs One of my psych classes is literally just half woke jargon. And attendance is like 35% of my grade… I have other classes and am trying to get fit. Listening to a feminist for an hour and a half a day actually gets in the way of my learning.

[@thefuturist8864]

‘Authentic lived experience’ is one of the finest examples of doublespeak in modern discourse. While it seems as though it ought to refer to individual people’s own experiences as they interpret them, it actually assumes in advance that a narrow set of experiences are ‘true’ and that any member of a supposed minority group who believes themselves to have experienced something different has been manipulated in some way. As a black student of mine once said to me: they say they’ve given us a voice but all we’ve been given is a script.

[@TorMax9]

It's INDIVIDUALS who learn this stuff and do this stuff. If an individual can learn it and do it right, great. If an individual can't, they should go do something else and not play with people's lives. This has nothing to do with DEI or anything else. If the individual is competent, go; if the individual is not competent, pull up your socks or stop. We don't want incompetent people at the helm.

[@Orson2u]

It’s individuals who are racist. Not our modern evolved institutions.

Woke (adj.) A state of awareness achieved by those who are easily manipulated to perceive injustice in everything except their own behavior.

I would like for someone to stand up at one of these struggle sessions and ask what they are hoping to achieve? Wasting time? You can't make someone change their manner of thought and even if you do, and they still want to harass you, they just dig through your old Tweets, say, and show that you are still not anti-racist or whatever, so it won't really matter.

[@tobifarrell7855]

Good for sticking to reality ….

[@Justin_Beaver564]

Let's stop using the word "woke". When DeSantis starting using it, it stopped be relavant.

[@sheilacabrera3986]

"Woke" is a construct like any other, which makes it only as relevant as the liar deceives people into believing it is.

[@VeniVidiVid]

We could appropriately call DEI “racist”, but that word has also lost all meaning.

[@donjindra]

It's more relevant than ever.

1:59 - yeah, I used to do the same and got in a lot of conflicts for not favouring people from "disadvantaged backgrounds" (ie: right demographics - they were almost all richer than me when I started), until I was fired on a pretence; well, luckily teaching was just some side-activity I did for fun.
