Social Justice Education in America is a comprehensive examination of the inner workings of social justice advocates at more than 60 universities and how they have insinuated themselves into the university system to propagandize students. Administrators have transformed universities into training camps for progressive activism. Most job postings for professors today demand conformity to the doctrine of social justice. Entire campus bureaucracies are built on social justice, contributing to the skyrocketing cost of tuition. Soon universities will be staffed entirely by people who teach activism and call it education.
This report offers several tactics to change this landscape, including legislation, disrupting the career tracks available to social justice advocates, and eliminating jobs that prioritize advocacy over education. Read online or order your own copy here.
