(CAMPUS REFORM) -- Do not ignore the prevalent trend in academia where universities and colleges are actively promoting the concept of "global citizenship." This objective has been integrated into the mission and vision statements of numerous higher education institutions throughout the country, emphasizing the importance of "internationalization" while reducing the emphasis on the nation-state concept. Those behind this push believe “national citizenship is an accident of birth” and place it within the framework of Environmentalism and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DEISJ).
But has this push toward "global citizenry" come at the expense of America and the American identity? Across the country, we are witnessing growing anti-American sentiment permeate throughout academia. The latest example comes from the University of North Carolina where 673 university professors signed a letter opposing legislation that would require students to take courses on America’s founding and the Constitution arguing that it violates academic freedom.
Rather than target American history and government, I wish these same professors would show the same disdain for the divisive and polarizing DEISJ initiatives that have infiltrated higher education and truly violate academic freedom by promoting a political agenda fueled by a toxic ideology.
