Fox News: Incoming freshmen at one Massachusetts university are supposed to do more than pay tuition and study — they are now being officially told to become social justice warriors. The latest guidelines at the public University of Massachusetts Amherst instruct students “to create change toward social justice” and to hold “attitudes which value cultural differences.” Colleges have long tried to foster good citizenship among their charges, but Amherst’s approach has drawn criticism – including from faculty – for codifying left-wing indoctrination.
“This has happened over the past 30 years, with ever more brazen efforts to control not only language, but also attitudes and thoughts,” Daphne Patai, a UMass Amherst professor who specializes in Brazilian literature and who opposes the guidelines, told FoxNews.com. The guidelines describe mandatory diversity classes at the college, which are required for the more than 22,000 students enrolled there.
Asked for comment, a university spokesman said that asking students to work for “social justice” is not about politics.
“Diversity-related courses should encourage students to value cultural differences, recognize inequalities and injustices, and integrate that knowledge with critical thinking skills to address societal problems as they might choose, but [is] not based on any particular political or philosophical point of view,” spokesman Ed Blaguszewski said in a statement. Blaguszewski says the university defines it as “the differences between people that may lead to disadvantages or advantages in access.”
See that? That’s the root of the problem right there. Adults are teaching students that “social justice” is something they are REQUIRED to fight for. Any time you see the words “social justice” or “value cultural differences,” don’t be fooled. It has nothing to do with either of those things. These are just code words that hippies can use to censor other people. Milo Yiannopoulos, Steven Crowder, and Christina Hoff-Sommers stand for policies that dimwitted 20 year olds believe run contrary to social justice. Therefore students have a moral obligation to silence them. After all, the University they attend has not only taught them this, they have actively encouraged them.
Just check out the “Women, Gender, And Sexual Studies” Department at UMass. Let’s take a look at who is teaching the next generation of butthurt losers and some of the classes they teach:
Monogamy: Queer Feminism and the Politics of Social Belonging. That sounds like a useful class that will transfer over valuable skills to real world applications.
Only at UMass could you sign up for a class called “Black Queer Feminisms,” then go to lunch and head to another class called “Gender and Genre in African Diaspora Literature.”
Ahh yes, “Transnational Approach to Queer and Sexuality Studies.” Because I’ve already taken plenty of classes on various approaches to queer and sexuality studies, but I’ve never really the transnational aspects of it.
Introduction to Biology of Difference? Sounds transphobic to me!!!
How can anyone graduate from college without familiarizing themselves with Feminism and Fashion in the African Diaspora? Apparently this class “explores how and why black women in places as far-flung as New York City, Atlanta, London and Johannesburg incorporated style and beauty culture into their activism.” You can basically get any job you want if that’s on your resume.
Yup, I know if I take a class on “sexuality studies” I want it to be taught by Granny Warren’s older sister.
Wait, I’m confused. First she teaches a class on Transnational Women’s Economic and Political Activisms, and then later on she teaches a class about “Unthinking the Transnational” that she just taught about in the first class? I’m confused. I think I’ll just sign up for the Theorizing Black Feminisms class.
Ahhh yes, a class about “Whiteness.” That sounds like a valuable use of your time. Here’s some highlights from the syllabus:
See that? She’s teaching students that white privilege and white supremacy are real things. They’re not theories or opinions. They are fact. She’s not showing them any other opinions that run contrary to these things. Thus the army of social justice warriors believes that anyone who doesn’t subscribe to this fantasy world is practicing hate speech and encouraging white supremacy.
Queer Transnational Feminist Cultural Studies. This is a class at UMass.
Oh good, she’s done research in “postcolonial feminist marxist critiques of development.” Because I don’t want Turtleboy Jr. to have a teacher who isn’t well versed in postcolonial feminist marxist critiques of development.
This woman is the department head:
Oh good, more transnational feminisms. You can never have enough of that. Laura Briggs has said some interesting things on her Twitter too. For instance, she adamantly supported the rights of Baltimore protesters to riot and destroy the property of other innocent black people as she cheered them on from her life of privilege in Western Massachusetts:
Only justice can stop a riot. #BalitmoreRiots #Baltimore

She actively campaigns to lower the rates that prisoners are charged on pay phones in jail:
Yay! FCC is capping the cost of calls from prison at .11/minute. #PhoneJustice https://t.co/6LSS2pL4v8. That would've saved me $100/month

She thinks Saturday Night Live isn’t diverse enough:
Trump will host @nbcsnl this weekend. Meanwhile, the show has no Latino cast members. Demand better from SNL: https://t.co/ZWLz008QZE

She wants you to “shout your abortion”
this is sexism: if women get pregnant if poor or unmarried they are stupid sluts, but abortion is always a tragedy? #ShoutYourAbortion

She talks about the importance of being a “butch bull dagger muff diver”:
Cheryl Clarke: it is still a political act to say, I am a butch bull dagger muff diver! #FeministPoeticsUMass #CombaheeRiverCollective
— Laura Briggs (@LjbriggsLaura) March 25, 2016
She blames white people who don’t like Baltimore District Attorney Marilyn Mosby who irresponsibly charged six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray (none of which will end up in convictions)
Now shall we speak of the pathology of white people, as the backlash against #MarilynMosby sets in?
— Laura Briggs (@LjbriggsLaura) May 5, 2015
She doesn’t want cops in schools, even though she’s never taught in one:
This is why police do not belong in classrooms https://t.co/sSOHwsyxeP #springValleyHigh And look at the other students, too, heads down
— Laura Briggs (@LjbriggsLaura) October 26, 2015
She supported racist Boston University Professor Saida Grundy:
Sign the petition! Black feminist prof's appointment in doubt after tweets. Remind you of #Salaita? https://t.co/13GdyMwQwo #ISupportSaida.
— Laura Briggs (@LjbriggsLaura) May 17, 2015
Even after Saida Grundy tweeted all this racist stuff:
But perhaps the biggest joke of all is that Laura Briggs doesn’t think her whiny students are coddled brats like the rest of society does. She thinks they have plenty to be angry about:
Enough already about coddled students! They have plenty to be angry about. https://t.co/NHQzZLITCQ

And did I mention that she gets paid $144,000 a year to teach a bunch of pointless classes that are utterly useless in the real world?
But just like many in her line of work she blames evil banks for the high cost of college tuition. Meanwhile she’s getting paid all this money and driving up the cost of tuition.
Don’t you get it yet? Don’t ya see? This is where college kids get these insane ideas from. They are growing up in the greatest country on earth and life is pretty Goddamn good, but their professors are convincing them that they are oppressed and must fight for social justice. And anyone who isn’t fighting for their moronic view of what social justice is, must be censored and/or destroyed.
These people are the real reason that Trigglypuff and Jennie Chenkin are the way they are. Because they are sick and need help, but instead of helping them this army of morons is using them in their never ending battle for political correctness.

I can’t wait for the college bubble to burst at UMass. It’ll be one big fiasco.
“Gender and Food” might be the most confusing title of all….
When did it become ok to use the word Queer again. Is fag ok to o or just queer. i cant keep up with this crap.
I expected to see if members of the department had degrees in the mechanics of fellatio and cunnilingus.
I hate everything. Wasn’t sure until I read this article. Now I’m sure. Thanks, TB.
Why are there no classes about animals? We need to check our human privilege.
Did you know black cats are the least adopted cats due to stupid superstitions and the fact they don’t photograph well? #BlackCatLivesMatter y’all.
In all seriousness I fear for my white cishetero male child because of these people.
The pay scale of these morons is astounding. I wouldn’t pay gas money for that useless junk. They shouldn’t even be teaching this nonsense. And the kids want me to pay for it so they can get it free. No way. If they want to pay for this stupid stuff good for them. But don’t complain to me when you are stuck at supersizing.
I just want to say that I am offended by a course entitled QUEER studies. I am a handicapped, colored, indian, homo who is deaf, dumb and blind. Let’s be more PC. LOL
So stunning and brave.
Why are there no classes about poop? #TurdLivesMatter
UMASS should just shut down this whole department and have the professors get a real job! Exactly what type of job will these courses prepare a student for? Totally useless!!!
I can’t even……
Thank gawd both my children made it through college unscathed by these morons. They are fair, open minded adults without any prejudice and plenty of compassion, but they also get the real world. In addition, both have had to deal with rather serious medical issues, but never played the victim and succeeded in their goals despite the challenges. Immensely proud of them.
Over the years of my professional career, I have had to deal with higher ed academic types and find many of them to be petty, spiteful and just miserable people to deal with no matter how hard you try. Been offered decent opportunities to work in academia, but would rather chew on broken glass tipped with feces than deal with some of the self-centered, bickering children they call professors. Plus the pay sucks.
Imagine how much cheaper college could be if these professors worked for free.
People deserve a wage for what they bring to the table, but people need to want what you’re selling or providing.
These people are floaters.
Is it a microagression if I offer Abby a “pearl necklace”?
NO, just gross.
This is why America needs the word cunt.
Holy fucking sexist! I don’t see one male teacher In that department… (except Laura Briggs, I think???). As a male, I DEMAND change and fair penile-inclusion!!
Who teaches Scissoring 101, or Carpet Munching for the Progressive Semi-Lesbian Who Wants to Think Outside the Box 304?… (Pun intended)
