Student loan debt is skyrocketing because of the soaring costs of college tuition.
Many classes are required by the university in order to obtain a degree, not prepare the students for what they are paying to prepare for.
Now students are being subjected to a new mandatory class that will make your head spin.
Climate Change 101 is Mandatory
If you are not from California and attend the University of California at San Diego, it will cost $51,000 per year.
There are some mandatory classes every student must take, but no one expected this to be made absolutely mandatory.
Many universities have mandatory classes. Health, Freshman English usual stuff.
But UCSD is mandating that every student pay to take a class on climate change indoctrination.
The university claims that adding the extra class to its mandatory curriculum somehow does not increase the number of mandatory classes.
The Jane Teranes Climate Change Education Requirement is named after Dr. Teranes who taught at the Scripts Institute of Oceanography.
Environmental activists (students and faculty) made the push for the indoctrination mandate.
Professor Sarah Gille told The College Fix that the “Jane Teranes Climate Change Education Requirement” will help students learn about the “fundamental challenge that we face in the university [or] on this planet in the coming hundred years.”
You can take the immersive indoctrination course, or you can take a class that has 30% of its material revamped to include climate change propaganda so you don’t have to pay for an additional class.
“There are courses in literature that cover the literature related to climate change – climate fiction, for example – and there are courses in policy, there are courses in environmental economics,” Gille said. “Students may feel like this is an unexpected requirement, but it’s not intended to increase their time to degree.”
Classes Getting Converted to Climate Change Indoctrination
Basically, this means you may think you are taking literature class, but they will incorporate climate change propaganda as part of that class.
The University has a long list of classes that satisfy the Climate Change Education Requirement, including Climate Justice, Gender and Climate Justice, Environmentalism/Arts & Media.
The faculty has made up their mind that heavily disputed environmental extremist narratives and propaganda claims are scientific facts that no longer require study.
Challenging Democrats’ assumptions on climate change is the California Policy Center.
“The entire meaning of the phrase ‘climate change’ is propaganda,” California Policy Center policy director Edward Ring told The Fix. ”[It’s] a concept that’s used to justify restrictions on everything, from the ability to build new homes and roads and other infrastructure to water and energy projects to the food we eat or travel, to how much we consume of literally anything.”
Parents and students who face the prospect of paying back hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt are more and more resisting woke colleges, and UCSD just did it to themselves by pushing this curriculum down every student’s throat.
