More ASU class material

Step 1: The syllabi and course material are available for public viewing.

I shared with you that I sit on a mountain of ASU course material from students. This material gives you, the public, a look at how the tax money of Arizona is spent. What do ASU professors teach their students and do you want to pay 80k for this content?

I am not naming the class or professor because this is not about targeting individuals. The issue is far larger than that. I urge you to focus on advocating for institutional change at ASU. President Trump has already outlined his plans to reform American universities, and we can contribute to this effort by exposing how some classes are being used to disseminate propaganda of the worst kind.

My proposal is simple: make all ASU syllabi and course content publicly accessible. This transparency would allow parents, prospective students, legislators, donors, and pastors to see what is being taught, enabling them to make informed decisions about attending or supporting ASU. This approach would be especially useful in cases like this, where a required reading includes the following:

Let’s address the simplistic objection: “But Anderson, are you saying a professor can’t have students read controversial books?” Not at all—they absolutely should. What a professor shouldn’t do is teach John Money’s theory of gender as if it were the definitive truth. In many classes, students aren’t taught about John Money, the harm caused by his sex change operations, or how to identify and critique his underlying assumptions. A proper university education should equip students to think critically about such philosophical assumptions, not accept them uncritically.

If parents and prospective students were aware of this content in advance, they could choose to avoid the class and professor altogether. If the class is required, they could file complaints with the university. Donors could evaluate how their contributions are being used, and legislators could determine whether this violates Arizona law.

The solution isn’t as simple as “stop funding.” ASU offers many valuable programs, particularly in the sciences and medicine. What’s needed is a closer look at what humanities professors are teaching, with a call for ASU to end the propaganda. Figures like Kinsey and Money should be critically examined as proponents of flawed sex philosophies, not presented as authorities on the truth.
