Arizona honors colleges push DEI, anti-capitalist, anti-Israel agendas: report– www.thecollegefix.com

Over 70 percent of sections for required honors course push ideological content

Arizona’s public universities require their honors students to complete coursework promoting a “diversity, equity, and inclusion” agenda, alongside anti-capitalist and anti-Israel themes, a recent report from a conservative think tank revealed.

Arizona State University’s Barrett, The Honors College, requires honors students to engage with mandatory readings that include discussions of sexually explicit LGBTQ content and explore racially and sexually charged questions, according to the Goldwater Institute’s report called “Desert Brain Drain.”

For example, one instructor requires students to discuss the “relationship between the white female gaze and the eroticized black male body.”

Another professor provides students with “a one-sided view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, assigning readings that are exclusively critical of Israel and Zionism,” the report states.

“Over 70% of all Barrett course sections for the mandatory ‘The Human Event’ (HON 272) reviewed by Goldwater” push this ideological content, it states.
