The new graduation requirement is an outcome of recommendations for a diversity requirement made by ISU’s Campus Climate Assessment Task Force in 2017.
Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
What a representation of Chicago’s plight.
The bill passed despite their votes in response to certain incidents where local prosecutors are thought to have been too lenient with non-citizens assaulting cops.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board cited Wirepoints’ analysis of Chicago student proficiency data in their latest piece condemning the Chicago Teachers Union’s outrageous contract demands…all while a vast majority of Chicago’s children graduate unable to read at grade level.

I would like to see a college in Florida try this.
Rule number 1 for creating prejudice and divisiveness… Make it mandatory to be lectured about DEI… Go ahead… Do the research… The “consulting” firm studies that seek to demonstrate the importance and value of DEI are unable to illustrate ANY real (as measured by company valuations – stock price as one proxy) benefit from diversity.
The person who “gets the job” should be the best person – REGARDLESS of ethnicity… If it’s a tie, go ahead, pick whomever you want, but if it is not, you do society a disservice by not basing decisions on merit.

This was on one of the morning programs with two high profile former CEO’s one of which is IBM where this program prepares you for the corporate world for $39 per month. It’s called Google Professional Certification Program. Seems legit and they said that 75K people have been placed so far and that a conventional college degree is not necessary along with the high debt associated with it to achieve success in the corporate world. It is all done online and something to look into. I will try to find the show it was featured on.

POCs fail a DIE course? Nope, ain’t gonna happen.
So 19-22 year-olds are supposed to pay tuition– and maybe have to take out student loans– to pay for this childish dribble. Looks like the Wokester comedy show has move up the chain of command past the faculty level into the exec suite.
And they wonder why Illinois universities market share of Illinois high school students has been declining (particularly our brightest?). You do not need a college degree to figure that out. Who wants to be (or their kids to be) indoctrinated with this garbage?
Just don’t go
Defund them.
