ANOTHER SINKING SHIP:  The State University of New York system is one of the best college systems in the nation...or at least it was.   The low-standards WOKE crowd took dead aim at these schools, and has apparently won.  From the New York Post: 

The 64-campus SUNY college system is turning into the Woke University of New York — ordering incoming freshman at all of its colleges they will have to pass a new “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice”-themed class to earn a diploma.

The new college racial equity courses must, according to State University of New York documents:

• Describe the historical and contemporary societal factors that shape the development of individual and group identity involving race, class and gender.

• Analyze the role that complex networks of social structures and systems play in the creation and perpetuation of the dynamics of power, privilege, oppression and opportunity.

• Apply the principles of rights, access, equity, and autonomous participation to past, current, or future social justice action.

While the primary focus is on equity and social justice in the US, courses can also look at what has happened or is currently happening in other countries for comparison, the mandate reads.

Critics say such mandated “equity” training actually flies in the face of goals for racial “equality.”

“This is nuts,” Nicholas Giordano, a political science professor at SUNY’s Suffolk Community College told The Post. “SUNY is one of the best university systems in the country. Why are they doing this?!

“DEISJ is a cultural movement, not based on academics. Unfortunately, SUNY responded to the mob.”

Giordano, a fellow at the conservative watchdog group Campus Reform, said the new DEISJ coursework seeks to portray the US as “inherently racist” and tries to undermine the American identity that unifies all citizens by “creating groups and pitting them against each other.”

He said the curriculum seeks to have students “defined by the color of their skin.

“To tell [minority students] they can’t compete with a white person is insulting and racist.”

And...

The diversity and equity curriculum was approved by SUNY under former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s then hand-picked chancellor James Malatras, a former aide.

COMMENT:   Wow, what a recommendation.  Andy Cuomo's guy.  This is a disaster for SUNY, and will only lead to conflict, hatred and mediocrity.  But, of course, that's the objective, isn't it?

New York is now experiencing a stunning outmigration of its citizens to other states.  New Yorkers are fed up with high taxes, high crime, and ridiculous expenses.  The capture of SUNY by the WOKESTERS will simply increase the flow, to places like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee.
