ASU announced that it will require every student take a sustainability course. ASU currently has 185,000. As a required course for graduation, every one of those students will be forced to watch this content. If the content is compromised, discriminatory, or paid for by a corporation, then it affects each of those students. Has ASU become merely a vehicle for pushing a leftist corporate agenda? Anyone who cares about ASU and education must see this and speak up.
I will be sharing a number of pieces from the content. In this video, you see that ASU has infused DEI content into its “Seeds of Sustainability course.” What does DEI have to do with sustainability? Nothing. But “sustainability” is just a placeholder name for leftist political agendas. If you doubt that, the proof is in the content. Here you see that the content button is named “Diversity and Inclusion.”
The video shared here show that this DEI content tells students which businesses they should shop at and that they should attend various cultural festivals to be more open minded. Why is ASU promoting some businesses over others? And why is it promoting cultural festivals as a way to gain an open mind rather than by learning critical thinking? When you see the video linked in my next paragraph these two things come together: which businesses and which festivals?
Next, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It concludes by telling students to go to a Starbuck’s film to be welcoming. You can view that here.
Try to wrap your mind around that. ASU is actively promoting a corporation in a “seeds of sustainability” course for all students. ASU is actively promoting that corporation’s DEI material. In the “good old days,” every leftist professor would be up-in-arms about corporate greed and getting corporations out of education. In fact, this is how the ASU honors professors drove away Tom Lewis who had donated millions of dollars. They said he was just trying to influence students for his corporate gain.
Where are they now? Silent. Corporations that support their DEI and radical leftist causes are just fine. They can make all the money they want.
Parents, did you know that by sending your children to ASU they will be forced to watch Starbucks content promoting Starbucks? Students, how do you feel having to spend your time on a course that has nothing to do with your major so that a multinational corporation can tell you what to believe? Legislators, this has to be looked at. Pastors, watch the Starbuck’s video and you will see how it pushes the DEI sexual philosophy. Can you guess who wasn’t represented?
