British Universities are being told to “go woke,” as the degrees watchdog demands that courses teach about colonialism and white supremacy, even in computer science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), which monitors course standards, wants universities to include such topics in a variety of courses, including science, math, and geography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mail Plus, the QAA believes that geography courses should acknowledge “racism, classism, ableism, homophobia, and patriarchy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The watchdog has called on universities to address how “hierarchies of colonial value are reinforced” in computing courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the QAA, economics students should be taught that it is “still predominantly a white, male, and Western field.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advice is contained in a 25-page document titled “subject benchmarks,” in which the watchdog outlines what it believes students should be studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While following the new guidelines is not required, it is expected that many lecturers will do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many have slammed the advice, with some accusing the QAA of urging universities to “go woke.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris McGovern from the Campaign for Real Education said:\u201d It\u2019s alarming. Campuses are being ordered to go woke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis QAA enforcement of anti-white and anti-Western racial hatred and division is iniquitous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt will undermine racial integration in our country and breed either resentment or self-loathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe QAA should be promoting enlightenment and knowledge, not prejudice and ignorance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Dennis Hayes from the Academics for Academic Freedom added: \u201cThis allows activists to push their feel-good political ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead of teaching the best that is known and thought in each discipline they have been occupied by political activists always defending alleged victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe loss to students is considerable \u2013 they are being denied proper access to the study of subjects and therefore legacy of human knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
