Louisiana should try a different strategy for now to join the vanguard of states that demand that their institutions of higher learning cultivate critical thinking, not indoctrination.
Sensing incorrectly and severely overplaying its hand assuming that the voting public would accept its judgment that a majority of the mass public were systemically, if not irredeemably, racist and badly in need of corrective action emanating from it, much of higher education now has gone into full-scale retreat over woke “anti-racism” ideology it has peddled. More nakedly that ever it displayed this in classroom instruction in the first half of this decade.
Louisiana colleges weren’t exempt from this fusillade. By way of example, at one time my university suggested we incorporate various forms of this propaganda into out teaching were applicable; for example, recommending use of the deeply-flawed and historically inaccurate 1619 Project materials that noxiously hypothesize racism as a fundamental and inescapable part of American culture from its start. Courses at institutions across the state have been taught with this notion as foundational to their purposes.
