URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – What used to be called “higher education” increasingly resembles leftist training camps. The latest example comes from the University of California, Berkeley, where, according to Campus Reform, “A professor at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) has assigned students an alternative to traditional finals—creating and editing Wikipedia pages about queer and trans people of color.”
Yes, instead of research papers, exams, or anything remotely connected to marketable skills, students in an Ethnic Studies course were tasked with building and expanding Wikipedia entries centered on LGBTQ activism and transgender topics.
The report explains that the professor had students defend and expand on Wikipedia articles related to “LGBTQ” history and transgenderism. Among the assigned topics were “Queer Vampires,” “LGBTQ themes in horror fiction,” and “Lesbian bars.” One might reasonably ask how mastering “Queer Vampires” prepares anyone for the job market — unless there’s a sudden spike in demand for supernatural diversity consultants.
According to the report, “The project is facilitated through Wiki Education, an organization that partners with college faculty to incorporate Wikipedia editing into coursework.” It adds, “Classes have made more than 300,000 edits and added 3,000 citations to Wikipedia articles, collectively amassing nearly 100 million views.”
The professor framed the assignment as a form of resistance to President Donald Trump. She told The Daily Californian, “Right now, the Trump administration is trying to erase the very existence of transgender people, so having information about those histories, as well as present challenges facing queer and trans communities, is particularly urgent.”
That’s a sweeping political claim presented as academic justification. Conservatives have long argued that public universities — funded by taxpayer dollars — should prioritize rigorous scholarship rather than activism tied to opposition of a sitting president.
The course itself is reportedly titled “Queer of Color,” and the professor lists “transgender studies,” “queer activism in the Americas,” and “sex work” among her areas of expertise.
Berkeley has built a reputation for progressive activism dating back to the Free Speech Movement of the 1960s. Ironically, today’s version of “free speech” appears narrowly defined.
Students and families pay significant tuition for degrees they hope will lead to stable careers. Assignments focused on niche ideological content may satisfy activists, but many Americans, especially those footing the bill, expect something closer to education than indoctrination.
