Loyola Chicago Ignatian Pedagogy wants professors to “decolonize syllabuses, as they claim syllabuses are part of the white supremacy culture.
When you obtained your Calculus syllabus was the first thing that popped in your head was “Oh my God this is racist.”? Well, neither does the average student.
Tuition money in this school is being used to “decolonize syllabus” as apparently, they are racist. I never heard anyone talk about how they feel racially discriminated against by a syllabus, not even myself as a minority. But according to the woke culture elite of the Ignatian Pedagogy institute, they are racist…wait till you see the solution to the made-up problem.
On the website for the Faculty Center of Ignatian Pedagogy, there’s a tab for Anti Racist Pedagogy for professors. The tab contains six anti-racist hyperlinks pop up, one of them says “Decolonizing your syllabus” as syllabi could have white supremacist bias.
“Attempting to decolonize your syllabus is an ongoing multifaceted process. Overall, it means shifting your course outcomes, materials, assignments, and expectations to reflect a decolonized attitude.”
Loyola University Chicago Faculty Center for Ignatian Pedagogy is a department of the university that serves as explained by its mission statement.
“Each component of our mission reflects a core element of our work. Within each is an implicit parallel process at play in our work with educators: in essence, we work with our educators the way we encourage them to engage and interact with their students.”
The works used in preparation to decolonize my syllabus.” are a list of 14 checkboxes faculty must meet to be fully “Anti-racists in their syllabus.”
Some of the checkboxes include “I have read “Decolonization is Not a Metaphor” by Tuck & Yang (2012) and understand decolonization is an ongoing endeavor and must be at the center of dismantling anti-Black racism.”
Eve Tuck is a progressive activist professor of critical race theory currently at the University of Toronto. Wayne Yang is another progressive activist professor at the University of California San Diego, who focuses on Decolonization and Critical Pedagogy.
Other liberal authors are pushed through other check boxes such as “ use Kimberlé Crenshaw’s work on intersectionality to identify how interlocking systems of oppression.
Kimberle Crenshaw is a progressive academic whose latest book questions the greatest of America, and the abundance of the American dream, and labels America as a “systematically racist nation.”
As well as the works of Angela Davis another social activist, who was at once a member of the United States Communist party has her work pushed in as well for faculty to meet. Decolonize My Counseling Psychology Syllabus Checklist “We have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating society.” Angela Davis Adaptation of “Decolonize My Counseling Psychology Syllabus.”
The solution to a made-up problem about your syllabus being racist is indeed using communists activists, who are such deep believers of communism that they live in the United States of America, not Cuba…quite sad!
