Just to bring this conversation back to the point, do you feel that the behavior I described above would count as indoctrination of left wing ideology in university?
I think forcing someone to publicly profess anything is creepy and Orwellian. It reminds me of something that John McWhorter has said, anti-racism is functionally a religion for its advocates.
I agree, but it sure isn't conservatives pushing this stuff up here...
I think it's fair to say it's left wing indoctrination. It creates a bias amongst staff and educators are essentially given the choice of getting in line and say the thing they want you to say, or else. What you end up with are people who either believe the same or are too scared to speak up. Then you have a group with a very narrow ideology in charge of imparting knowledge to your students. It's interesting that this is the policy in my kids grade 1 class all the way up to the university course my wife is now in charge of teaching.
I mean if that's not indoctrination what the hell is it.
It is kind of stupid really. We acknowledge we are on the traditional lands of whatever "nation" all whilst knowing there isn't a snowballs chance of us giving up the land. The point seems to be so everybody can carry around an appropriate amount of guilt. People being perpetually guilty without any practical way of resolving that guilt is very damaging. Climate anxiety where kids cannot sleep at night because they are worrying abut the planet not good for their mental health.
My daughter graduation from a STEM discipline four years ago half the graduating class was Asian. This was one of better Canadian Universities. I wonder what they were thinking when some lady (white as driven snow) who was six years into university doing some social sciences degree still not having done anything practical in her lift blathered on with the native land acknowledgement etc.
Your wife being in healthcare all the while knowing there isn't even a healthcare system anymore. I think native people want healthcare maybe would should fix that.
