Tennessee College Offers $3k Incentive to Professors Teaching DEI

The University of Memphis told its professors that they could receive $3,000 stipends for “infusing” diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice into their curricula as part of the university’s “Eradicating Systemic Racism and Promoting Social Justice Initiative.”

That comes from an email sent to the faculty and obtained by the Washington Fee Beacon, which reported that:

The University of Memphis told faculty they could collect a $3,000 stipend for redesigning their curricula to align with the university’s commitment to “diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice,” according to an email sent to all faculty obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The offer is part of the university’s “Eradicating Systemic Racism and Promoting Social Justice Initiative.”

Interested faculty are asked to submit a copy of syllabi to be reworked as well as a 500-word “narrative” on their “diversity, equity, and inclusion philosophy” and how the new lessons will “address disparities” in their subject area.

The email itself states:

The Eradicating Systemic Racism and Promoting Social Justice Initiative at the University of Memphis is offering an opportunity for interested faculty to critically consider methods and approaches to redesign existing courses housed within their departments to better advance the tenets and charge of the University’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice. This announcement offers a competitive grant opportunity designed to support faculty who are interested in redesigning and aligning existing course syllabi with the goals established by the workgroup entitled, Infusing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice into Existing Courses/Curriculum.

Further, the email describes the objectives of the DEI program as:

Integrate culture and climate as supports to curriculum content, methods, and teaching and learning
Accumulate and disseminate models for curriculum self-assessment, program planning and continuous learning

So, by infusing their classrooms with leftist talking points, teachers will get a total of $3,000, with $1,500 being paid when they redesign their lesson plan and another $1,500 when they teach the politics-infused, woke classes.

Yale Bans Students From Eating OUTDOORS At Local Restaurants

When the wealthy and connected consider what universities they would be open to sending their children to, Yale is probably part of the conversations.

With an average annual cost of $79,370, the qualities the students bring to them include reasoning and critical thinking. Yet with all of this being said, Yale is treating their students as part of the collective instead of individuals this semester.

Students at Yale University will be banned from patronizing local businesses and restaurants over COVID-19 concerns, despite the school mandating booster shots to attend.

The Ivy League university – which has 58 percent of students living in on-campus housing – made the announcement in an email Tuesday afternoon.

Yale Daily News reported the university’s new policy in a tweet. It is part of the school’s campus-wide quarantine, in effect until Feb. 7, and requires students to stay in their residences “until they receive results of an arrival test.”

The university announced the quarantine last month and will hold remote classes for two weeks until the quarantine is lifted.

What Bullying Teacher Wrote On A Student’s Homework Had Everyone Seeing Red!

It’s critical for teachers to educate students to avoid bullying or be involved in anything related to bullying is absolutely wrong.

But what happened in Valley View school is something bothering me as a parent.

Chris Piland, a father of a student from the said school has initiated a petition to fire his son’s teacher for harsh and un-motivational comment that will surely affect his son’s self-esteem.

The teacher has been reportedly giving her second-grade students the task of solving many subtraction problems that is equivalent to year 3 within a three-minute time frame.

Kamdyn, the student who was harshly criticized by the teacher received his test with a comment written, “Absolutely pathetic he answered 13 in 3 min! Sad” accompanied by a drawing of a sad face.

Because of Piland’s infuriation, he was able to gather 15,000 signatures seeking to terminate the teacher’s action.

He posted a picture of his son’s homework and captioned it with, “My son Kamdyn’s teacher has been so rude to him and myself all year. He comes home with this and I am beyond frustrated that someone would write this on a child’s work. Such great motivation.”

“Thanks to all the efforts and support of the dedicated people who signed and shared this petition, I’m happy to announce that the teacher in question is currently being investigated by the Valley View school board,” He added.

It was already bad to witness students bully another student but it is a new level when the teacher initiates the bullying in her class.
