“The classes covered topics ranging from feminism to the history of the Black male experience...”

Those are the complete opposite of “forbidden courses”. They should call them “Courses Completely in Line with Current GroupThink Orthodoxy” instead.

I’m hopeful you have that backwards, actually.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Bingo! You nailed it.

Sounds like it from the names.

Not if they allow different views discussed. If the “history of black male experience” discusses why so many black boys are fatherless, and how the government has worked to replace the authority figure in homes, it could actually be very informative to students who have never been presented with the “other side” of the narrative.

The difference is in how they are taught. The students are allowed to approach the subject critically. This school is a direct challenge to academic orthodoxy. This is exactly what you would expect with a faculty that includes David Mamet, Peter Boghossian and others. You can learn more about the school at uastin.org
