Columbia's Teachers College - one of our nation's most prestigious education schools - has policies that go beyond telling students what they can or can't say; it tells them even what they are required to believe...At Teachers College, students are required to have a "commitment to social justice" - a requirement so subjective and politically loaded that it can only be enforced in a way that judges students on whether they have "acceptable" political views...And just in case the "social-justice" requirement was not a sufficiently blatant political litmus test, Teachers College gets more specific: Students are also expected to recognize that "social inequalities are often produced and perpetuated through systematic discrimination and justified by societal ideology of merit, social mobility and individual responsibility."....Litmus Test: Teachers' College Political Tests, Greg Lukianoff & Robert Shibley, NY Post, 10/12/2006
If you can't convince some students to believe in lies, exclude them from college? That's where it's headed folks. Want it to stop? For alumni, it's easy: stop giving money to colleges unless you know what their faculties stand for.
