Georgetown University is set to require “social justice” courses on the school’s history of racism and slavery for its undergraduate students, starting next semester.

A subcommittee consisting of Georgetown students and faculty members that was tasked with redesigning the university’s “Engaging Diversity” core curriculum component recently announced the new “Pathways to Social Justice,” which forces students to take a number of courses surrounding diversity concepts, according to a report by Campus Reform.

One of the courses included in the Pathways to Social Justice curriculum includes a class, titled, “University Seminar in Race, Power, and Justice at Georgetown,” according to the core curriculum’s proposal document.

Who the hell would want to attend there?

Until the 90s at least, Georgetown Grads were mostly conservative, middle-class/wealthy Catholics from the Northeast and South

Then the school went woke globohomo. Being centered in Washington DC, the head of new COMINTERN, I suppose it was inevitable.

I wonder what, if any, effect there has been on alumni giving?

Oh, and their basketball team now SUCKS.

Avoid colleges that need to apologize for injustice - it might be ongoing.

Why should the students be forced to take (and pay for) these classes? Shouldn’t the higher levels of the administration take them? Like every year, as a constant refresher course?

Then after a few years, maybe they’d be so ashamed they’d just shut down the whole stupid place and deed it over to the homeless.

I graduated from GU in 1983. There was none of this woke crap there back then - it was pretty much the university that it had been since its inception, which is to say that the goal that the Jesuits had when they set the place up was to teach young people certain skill sets and teach them how to think so that they could more easily learn after they left the place, thereby preparing them to enter the real world as functional adults.

I do not recognize my alma mater, except that on those few occasions when I’m in the DC area and visit, the physical infrastructure looks very familiar. I think that I gave one donation shortly after graduating, and nothing since then. I am reasonably sure that I’d rather have my fingernails pulled out with a pair of pliers, than give GU a single red cent of my money.

So I wonder if the upper echelon of Georgetown U are a bunch of old white supremacists. If so, they ought to set an example and resign giving their posts to “people of color” no matter what their qualifications are.

This is merely part of the big picture. Education on all levels has been retooled into institutes of indoctrination, based on opinions and commentary with no legitimate academic standing. It’s but one of many tactics meant to move us toward a rigid authoritarian society. Sounds crazy, no? Who would believe it?

However-—THEY DO NOT accept students with LOANS and they expect excellent output.

Course 1: Tribes in Africa were at war with one another. Captured people and sold them to anyone.
You can still buy slaves in Africa.

Jesuit U.

A Jesuit school,that had a professor that taught bill clinton all about communism?They finally flipped their noodles...

There should be a course on the Vietnamese Boat people who came here in the 1970’s.

When they came here, they did not understand the culture nor the language, and had almost no money to start, yet most went on to be successful.....even without handouts.

EXPLAIN THAT.

Self-hating, ungrateful white people are destroying our country.

One of Georgetown U's early presidents (from 1873–1882) was born a slave; Father Healy was one-sixteenth black from his enslaved mother and his father was an Irish emigrant. It was a love match between the parents; the father set his wife and children free.
