Insanity! Oregon State Requires Two Woke Courses Examining ‘Systems of Oppression’

Wait 5 sec.

In the latest college madness Campus Reform is reporting “Oregon State University requires undergraduate students who enrolled in summer 2025 or later to complete two “Difference, Power & Oppression” (DPO) courses as part of its Core Education curriculum.”In other words, as far as Oregon State is concerned, they remain a woke outpost of political correctness.This insane course is focused on WOKE indoctrination.“In addition to “difference, power, and oppression,” participants in the DPO Academy learn about “feminist and critical pedagogies” and “fundamentals of curriculum transformation.”Its yet to be explained how oppression and feminist studies help advance a student’s education and prepare them for the workforce.The reason they give for requiring these courses is even more outrageous.“The inequitable distribution of social, economic, and political power in the United States and globally is sustained through systems of oppression, which represent a variety of discriminatory institutional beliefs and practices,” the description states. “These beliefs and practices obscure the origins and operations of systemic oppression in daily life, such that this inequitable power distribution is assumed to be the natural order.”In other words, they wish to indoctrinate students with the lie that America is evil and systemically racist.“Such examinations will enhance and promote responsible, ethical, and anti-racist engagement in our diverse university community and society in the United States and beyond,” the description continues.”This is hardly connected to basic reading and math and job skills.Courses that count toward the requirement include “Antiracism and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Practice,” “Disney: Gender, Race, Empire,” “Inventing Ethnic America,” “Biological and Cultural Constructions of Race,” and “Higher Education Goes Hollywood: Racial Narratives and Student Experiences.”This is total nonsense and shows that, sadly, Woke remains strong and intact on many campuses throughout America.“The description of “Antiracism and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Practice” states that students will gain “awareness and knowledge of systemic racism alongside skills related to antiracist advocacy to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in practice.”Students are paying a crazy amount to be brainwashed by leftist radical professors who complain about America and see race everywhere.“Oregon State estimates that the total cost of attendance is $38,568 for state residents and $65,013 for nonresidents. The estimates include tuition, fees, housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses.”Oregon State is not even the only example of woke indoctrination gone amok. This has been offered at a number of other schools as well. Wokeness must be erased from academia entirely.The post Insanity!
