Yes, Trump.
Via College Fix:
A Catholic university’s course on slavery has apparently been updated to include a new threat to African Americans: Donald Trump.
The upper-level history course at Loyola University Chicago, “Slavery and Abolition Then and Now,” will be taught in the spring semester by Prof. John Donoghue, an expert in the Atlantic slave trade.
The description of the course on the class registration website LOCUS says it “will introduce students to the long durée of global slavery as a means to convey slavery’s ubiquity across time and space.”
hough the official course description doesn’t mention modern-day topics, a more detailed description posted Wednesday by the Black Students Matter LUC Facebook page says a third of HIST 300 covers “slavery after abolition,” including the role of slavery in today’s global economy.
Yet this third of the class to be taught in the spring won’t even deal with slavery. The detailed description, which does not have an instructor name on it, reads:
I have revised the last third of the course this spring in light of recent efforts to suppress the black vote, the increasing public exposure of the long-standing problem of racist police brutality, the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, continuing structural racism -particularly in the prison industrial complex, and the racist rhetoric and conspiracy theories that the Trump campaign has revived in our political culture.
Black Students Matter LUC did not immediately respond to a Facebook message Sunday night asking for the source of its detailed course description.
