EDUC 290: Cultural Diversity and Advocacy was a two-credit course at Grove City College. It may no longer be taught at the college due to the recent anti-woke report from a special committee of the Board of Trustees. Get up to speed here.
Cedric Lewis, a “guest lecturer” at Grove City, taught the course. He is now commenting on Twitter about the board’s recommendation to drop the course and the events surrounding it.
It is hard to follow the thread after this tweet, but you can explore on your own here.
CRT must be a powerful conception. If students are exposed to it, or anything even close to it they will immediately fall for it. So any hint of it must be excluded from the curriculum.
I’d like to be in Professor Louis’ class.
This is modern “McCarthyism”. What a great professor. I would love his class.
It’s shocking that the Board of Trustees did not visit Lewis’s class. The class seems as if it was dropped based on the reading list.
What “various views” were listed in the course reading list? Were they supplementary readings? What exactly was required? None of the tweets seem to say that beyond a veiled reference to Kendi. I’d love to see his syllabus. It is tragic, of course, as you say, John, that none of the board actually sat in on his class.
Of course this argument is also based on the belief that students actually do the reading! 🙂
