Rejecting wokeness, embracing tradition.
You love to see it.
This is a big move back towards sanity and rejecting the liberal framework that pushed these gender and sexuality studies departments at universities for decades now.
It's well known that any "fill-in-the-blank studies" department is just pushing wokeness and DEI marxism in schools, and Iowa is rejecting it after decades.
'Under the proposed plan, the college would close the departments of American Studies and Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies, as well as the current majors in American Studies and in Social Justice, which have fewer than 60 students combined, and create a new major in Social and Cultural Analysis,' the University of Iowa announced in a press release on Dec. 17.
The decision comes after Iowa's state Board of regents approved 10 recommendations to scale back diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the Hawkeye State.
It's so good to see this pushback against latter half of the 20th-century liberalism that got ramped up to 11 during the post-Floyd era.
Common sense is returning!
Check out the leftists tears:
Iowa is rolling these programs into a less woke cultural studies program to allow the students in the fake "studies" programs to graduate.
'We are excited to reposition these programs for the future,' dean of the University of Iowa's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS), Sara Sanders, said. 'The creation of a School of Social and Cultural Analysis would allow us to build on our considerable legacy in areas that are essential to our mission, while creating more sustainable structures and room for innovative new curricula.'
The hope is that they won't be just hiding the wokeness under a new name and that this is a real change.
