Oregon State University mandates that undergraduates complete two courses on “Difference, Power & Oppression,” as part of its “Core Education” curriculum, including “Difference, Power & Oppression Foundations” and “Difference, Power & Oppression Advanced.”
The university demands that all students take these courses so students can master the art of disrupting oppressive systems in the United States and around the world. After all, the Orwelians explain, “The inequitable distribution of social, economic, and political power in the United States and globally is sustained through systems of oppression, which represent a variety of discriminatory institutional beliefs and practices…beliefs and practices [that] obscure the origins and operations of systemic oppression in daily life, such that this inequitable power distribution is assumed to be the natural order…Such examinations will enhance and promote responsible, ethical, and anti-racist engagement by preparing students to understand and disrupt these systems as they manifest in their field.”
There is no way to spin this. Oregon State, a public university, is requiring any graduate to have their brain washed in order to graduate and get a degree. There is also no way to defend it, or the oppressive and anti-American ideology that has spawned such totalitarian tactics.

F$&@ the Beavers! (Had to do it. Sorry Jack.)
This is what passes for learning in many academic environments…Marxist nonsense.
Could have been Professor Arday’s next gig.
Heh! THAT’S gonna leave a mark!

As vocal and seemingly engaged as a defender of 1st amendment as Turley seems to be, his statement “There must be…” sounds academically passive and naive. Perhaps he is being genteel.
When Trump bombed Iran, PM Carney of Canadia issued a statement saying that the military action of Trump and Israel against Iran reveals the “failure of the rules based order” that the West presumes participation in. Turley seems to me to sound as if he has his own “rules based order” in which participation is assumed with no evidence.
The folks teaching about “systems of oppression” always assume that those who learn about them will reject them. I think that some will simply embrace the system, since, by going to college, there’s a good chance that they come from “the oppressive class”.
