University mandates 'all students' take 'diversity and inclusion' courses

Georgia Southern University will mandate that "all students" take "diversity and inclusion" courses.

Under the new curriculum, all first and second-year students will be required to take the yet-to-be-announced courses, according to the student newspaper The George-Anne. This move is a result of diversity and inclusion resolution, passed by the GSU Student Government Association.

GSU SGA Senator-at-Large Keyshawn Housey, members of the GSU National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and members of the National Pan-hellenic Council (NPHC), a collaborative organization of African American fraternities and sororities, authored the resolution.

“There is a lack of civil discourse about race, diversity, and inclusion due to a fear of backlash among faculty, staff, and students on this campus,” the resolution states, going on to put the school's demographic makeup into context.

“College is already expensive and stressful,” GSU sophomore Matthew Frost told Campus Reform. "I can’t continue to pay for additional courses and spend valuable time sitting through courses where a professor is teaching people how to ‘be kind’ to each other. Parents should be teaching that at home, for free.”

This is BS! If they are requiring this crap then it should be free for the students, not wasting their parents money on Liberal brainwashing.

In other words, everything your parents and teachers taught you (or didn't) is subject to correction by people much smarter than you, or so they think. They must be, because no one, including those paying for the overpriced tuition, is making a fuss over it.

Do you think diversity of thought, beliefs and opinions will be included in the course?

Dave T: I've had the misfortune of having to hear a lot of b.s. in my life, and this is more of it. Home of a real Grad A kook - Stacy Abrams. After seeing her performance, values and attitude - I'll pass on the diversity. I've had more than my share.
