Students Told to Disavow ‘American-ness, maleness, whiteness, heterosexuality’

A political science professor at Butler University asks students to disregard their “American-ness, maleness, whiteness, heterosexuality, middle-class status” when writing and speaking in the classroom – a practice the school’s arts and sciences dean defended as a way to negate students’ inherent prejudices.
The syllabus of the course at Butler, a small Midwestern liberal arts institution in Indianapolis, spells out that students should use “inclusive language” because it’s “a fundamental issue of social justice.”
“Language that is truly inclusive affirms sexuality, racial and ethnic backgrounds, stages of maturity, and degrees of limiting conditions,” the syllabus states, referencing a definition created by the United Church of Christ.
The syllabus of the class, called Political Science 201: Research and Analysis, goes on to ask students “to write and speak in a way that does not assume American-ness, maleness, whiteness, heterosexuality, middle-class status, etc. to be the norm.” It is taught by a black, female professor.
In an interview with The College Fix, Jay Howard, dean of Butler’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, denied this practice essentially presumes every student who walks through the door is a racist or misogynist.
He said students must be told not to assume such prejudices because such assumptions are ingrained into the culture and remain there until questioned. With that, a liberal arts education questions these assumptions, and such questions can make for uncomfortable situations, he said.

Hey Prof, lets see you grow a pair and disavow he maleness of the Butler basketball team.
Sharia law applies to that kind of blasphemy at Butler.
He is thriving and I couldn’t be happier. My daughter is at a big lib school and also thriving....and trying to talk sense into everyone she meets. We raised her right! But we have taught her for years how to see through subtle and not so subtle bias. I wish she could attend CCU but they do not have the major she needs
you know I ma stunned how many conservatives have kids who have turned out to be flaming big liberals.
I’ve had to teach my kids from an early age about what is right, the threats we face from the socialist left and how PC is destroying the basic fabric of this country and the back bone of this contry which was family.
The 1963 commie rules stated tey had to change the faily and promote weird crap like cross dressing and homosexuality because they knew once they destroyed the famly then the country would fall apart.
Shame some on our side still harp on abut how normal marriage is not that important and do not speak up about it
what stuns me is how some on ur side never speak up about this issue, how talk show hosts like Hannity backs down over marriage and how some on our side though most are trolls on here say let anyone marry anyone and then use the excuse of keep Govt out of it.
If one has a penis then he;s a male , it’s that simple and anyone who states otherwise should be put out there just the same as those who say they;re proud of wearing strap on plastic and say they’re a man or a guy saying he;s proud because he likes to push feces.
never back down, speak up and do what you say
Want to see a “Deer in the headlights” look?.....go ask them.
true that.
There is a small private school here in town called the beacon of hope Christian school.
The Principle is a black woman with mostly black innter city if you can call my town that.
The website shows mostly white kids and states Bible classes and prayers but that is not true either.
The two kids around the corner are white and the same age as my oldest who told me that they have not started Algebra yet at aged 15, they have not gone over the constitution, founding fathers , nothing with history or even geography.
Their education is about when my oldest was about 12.
They said they have done nothing Christian and most of the kids there get through the school the govt to pay for them to attend.
Now this principle has taught them and brought people in to study African dance, African culture and even had them dancing to a zulu dance.
I do nto know how this principle gets away with all of this as she does not even seem accountable, the kids learn nothing.
I’ve spoken to the parents who are very Christian but can;t get it into their heads that it is not a Christian school but in name only and they really hate ublic school though the schools here are run wiht mostly republicans.
One thing is for sure this principle is on a good scam.
here is their site
I know for a fact that those photo’s and statements are not true to the school.
During the election the principle was pushing obama so what kind of Christian would vote for this idiot and also maybe black Christians for the most part , not all have a different view to what being Christian is about

I know a guy who does the hiring for his firm around the country and he told me that when he sees a 4 year degree in an American college he just rips the thing up as he said it;s useless today.
Either a 4 year degree in urope or a masters is what he looks for.
He said he got so fed up of hiring people with 4 year degrees and they were utterly useless
met a black guy which flies the confederate flag here and it drives the liberals nuts.
He told me some of the names he;s been called has been disgusting and yet he said his ancestors served and to hell with those who name call him.
never understood as to why some whites hate their own race and yet are proud to see , say blacks saying black and proud or turd poking and proud for homosexuals.
Do they not understand that if they become a minority then they will not get affirmaite action etc lke other races get now?
Never mind the gonadal equipment. Regardless of that, a simple DNA test tells the truth.
Every “transsexual” is simply a mutilated whackjob...A sideshow freak.
This is a part of this administration sustainability movement ...it is not just about being “green”
