Intersectionality at ASU West
What is NewARC?
One of the most important features of a university is learning how to think. And thinking begins by recognizing one’s own assumptions and testing them for meaning. This is why mandating or requiring that faculty and student accept partisan assumptions as if they were simply the truth of the matter is contrary to the values of the university.
ASU West has a committee named New ARC. The New Anti-racism council. Does that sound like something out of a Solzhenitsyn novel? (An aside, in his book “The Inner Circle,” Stalin is working on getting better and better phones to use as monitoring devices so as to police what everyone says!)
In this talk, the Council told us about the “conspiracy of silence.” The conspiracy of silence is the attempt to keep everyone from talking about race and gender ideologies. You know, the things secular professors talk about all the time. The topics that have shaped all of pop-culture for the last decades. What the mainstream media reports on daily. Those things we never talk about.
So here is how it works: they will tell you that your view of race is deficient and educate you on the correct view to have. And that will include “intersectionality,” which teaches you that race, gender, class, and any marginalized group, have overlap due to a common oppressor. Can you guess as who the oppressor is? And you will be thankful that they re-educated you.
As we’ve seen throughout my posts, the emphasis is on oppression and power. Let’s have a debate about it. I already put out a challenge for a public debate and haven’t heard back. I’d like to debate any of the professors on the Council about their assumptions concerning race and intersectionality. I believe those assumptions are demonstrably false and would like the public to see it. This will be a big help to parents who are considering sending their kids to ASU West.
I’ll have more on NewARC and intersectionality. Can we configure the true graph of intersectionality? It might surprise you who is the “oppressor.”
