Students get grades based on leftist ideologies

A Utah college professor gave students a test that reinforced the idea that women and minorities are disadvantaged by the “glass ceiling” and that gender is a “social construct,” according to documents obtained by the College Fix.

Snow College instructor Amanda Clark administered the test to students enrolled in Human Development 1500, the Fix reported. The test included two true/false questions that reinforced notions that “the United States is traditionally heteronormative, meaning that society supports heterosexuality as the norm” and that “gender is a social construct, meaning that it does not exist naturally but is instead a concept that is created by cultural and societal norms,” both of which the correct answer was “true.”

A third question prompted students to fill in the blank for the term that means “the invisible barrier that keeps women and minorities from rising to higher positions regardless of their qualifications.” The correct term was “glass ceiling,” and other options included glass cliff, sticky floors and homophobia, according to the Fix.

Marci Larsen, Snow College public information officer, told the Fix that the course is offered through a third-party venue and that Clark’s contract was not renewed. The decision was made before the media attention, she said.

Human Development 1500 is offered through the school’s Education and Family Studies department and in the Social and Behavioral Science division, according to its website. The course teaches students about “the fundamental principles of growth and development from conception through childhood to old age.”

“The course includes the study of the biological process of development, as well as the emotional, social, psychological, and cognitive development of the individual within a cultural and historical context,” its description reads.

Snow College did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. Clark could not be contacted.

Are schools little more than leftist indoctrination centers?

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.

This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.

This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.

Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.

That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
