Yeah truly an influential force on culture everywhere and not one of a thousand schools with a student body of a thousand future janitors.

Here's berkleys required courses for teachers. A good chunk have titles that make it clear they're along the same lines, and another good chunk have descriptions that make it clear they're all about race theory or whatever.
Pretending its isolated to small schools and uninfluential people is dishonest. An edu major from Berkley has a very good chance of deciding policy adjusting hundreds/ thousands of students.

Actually, looking at the course list, I actually agree that the ones which look like sjw courses might be important for teachers to learn.
Like, do you not think these might actually be somewhat useful things for a teacher to have to think about?
I figure even chuds would agree that race is a large factor in urban schools
Large swaths of the population, especially in California, are raised in communities that barely speak English. Teachers should be prepared to understand this.
These are pretty much all the ones that mention race and they don't seem particularly bad. Which one do you think is full of egregious brainworms?
The biggest red flag is that it looks like the whole diploma has an equal credit to one year of a stem degree courseload but thats on brand lmao

Anything with "Critical Issues and Perspectives" in the name is code for "a fat middle aged self-described socialist making 5x the average median family income in their area will explain how everything is racism for 1 hour every Thursday but there is no substantive content in the course"

No it totally happens I'm just saying this particular example of a teacher is a literal who in a college nobody has ever heard of.
And then I was provided with a less offensive course list than I could have ever imagined. I was genuinely expecting much worse. I've seen more shitlib courses in my engineering gen Ed requirements.

You think they're actually going to teach about the "struggles" of asian-Americans? Are you literally r-slurred?

I don't think they'll teach any of it properly but as far as social justice stuff goes I don't think their course list actually sounds that bad. There are probably colleges with much much worse requirements.

Olympia is so funny to me because there's literally no reason to ever go there. Even if you live in the pnw every single major route to a populated area bypasses it completely.
I'd rather spend a weekend in fricking Yakima

Now remember that the class is being written and taught by gender/race studies major living in California.
Obviously they name and present the lessons in a way that is relevant to the degree. It's an accredited American college. The trick is the actual content.
These classes are a way for the gender/ race studies people to indoctrinate those outside of their degree with their theories.

You're ignoring that part. It's not the title of the course that matters. It's their methodology, ya r-slur.

I didn't say the classes sound fine. They don't. I said they sound relevant to the degree. Probably because this is a literal legal requirement for accredited courses.
But sure, the Californian taught class, Asian American Struggles and Collective Learning for Racial Justice , is probably a reasonable course that we all would agree with. Let's check the description
"Through a place-based and community-engaged research approach, we examine the social construction and contestation of race, the historical and contemporary consequences of racism, and the ongoing struggle for racial justice in the United States through the lens of Asian American racialization"
That doesn't... sound at all helpful for teachers. Oh well you said the title sounds relevant so I'll just go frick myself.

Explain what part of that course, relevant to teachers or not, is toxic to the youth they will go onto teach. Hard mode: do it without saying meaningless shit like "Californian taught" as if thats supposed to mean something.
I do think that mentioning racism to children has a chance to instill a victim complex in them. But to pretend that a single elective class taken by a teacher is going to irreparably alter their future is just silly.

And how many of those people are going on to be school teachers?
Here's a list of core courses required for an education degree from Berkley. At least 5 core classes focus on racial justice type ideals. https://guide.berkeley.edu/undergraduate/degree-programs/education/#majorrequirementstext
On top of that a lot of these girls will fill their optional classes with similar classes. They will then go on to teach all children with their world view focused through this insane lens.

Start looking at the course descriptions as well, it seems like almost three-quarters of them are CRT-adjacent even if the main name does not (blatantly) suggest
Also minimum 2.0 GPA, lmao
