Liberal bias in academia? Nah, that’s just a crazy right-wing myth.
Via Campus Reform:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and the Republican Party represent “extremist” political movements hell-bent on rescinding civil rights protections for minority groups, according to a course curriculum assigned to students at Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas.
The course, Politics of the 1960s to Now, is taught by Chris Hamilton, a professor of political science and a two-time Fulbright Scholar.
As only one part of the ultra-right goals, these movements seek to weaken or reverse key parts of all Civil Rights Laws, & weaken or even abolish the national government[.]
The course curriculum, obtained exclusively by Campus Reform, declares that Republicans are resurrecting “discrimination” and the “political battle over the Civil Rights laws,” and concludes that “racism” and “bigotries” in society are part of “ultra right [sic] politics.”
“Neo-Confederacy movements which are part of Big Money ultra-right powers (Koch Industries, co-founders of the John Birch Society) which is part of the broad New White Nationalist movement,” the outline reads.
The course compared the current political landscape to that of the Civil Rights era, noting that “[w]hile progress has been made against racist-style hate of and discrimination against various minority groups…the political battle over the Civil Rights laws and against such hate & discrimination & violence has re-surfaced today[.]”
