As reported at National Association of Scholars, the University of Tennessee is subordinating all subjects to Cultural Marxism. Every part of the school — including even the Herbert College of Agriculture and the Tickle College of Engineering — has been required to develop a Diversity Action Plan to combat what Chancellor Donde Plowman calls “systemic racism and injustice.”

Key takeaways:

• The Diversity Action Plans institute a far-reaching curriculum overhaul for every academic department.

• The plans espouse an unmistakably ideological orientation. This includes explicit endorsement of critical race theory.

• The plans make [Diversity/Equity/Inclusion] an effective litmus test for professional advancement.

The level of ideological intrusion is like something the Khmer Rouge would have imposed in Cambodia. For example, engineering students are required to submit essays denouncing their own “biases.”

What makes this especially infuriating is that Republicans are allowing this to happen:

The University of Tennessee is a public school. Last year’s budget includes $684 million in appropriations from the state government…

Plowman is an appointee of University of Tennessee president Randy Boyd. Boyd, in turn, is an appointee of the UT Board of Trustees (which also confirms chancellor appointments). And who chose them? The Board of Trustees has eleven voting members, and every single one of them is appointed by the governor of Tennessee. Ten of the commissioners also require confirmation by both houses of the state legislature.

That means they have to be confirmed by Republicans.

Republicans control almost 3/4 of the state house, and they have held at least 70 out of 99 seats since 2012. In the state Senate, they outnumber Democrats more than four to one and have for a decade.

Where Democrats control the government, they ram moonbattery down everyone’s throat. Where Republicans control the government, they stand by idly while Democrats ram moonbattery down everyone’s throat.

Democrats have succeeded in normalizing a sick ideology thanks to their approach, which is to smash you in the mouth relentlessly. The Republican approach has been to occasionally squeak objections while meekly going along.

Those who do not play to win will lose. Losing the Culture War is not an option. Leftist indoctrination must be defunded wherever possible or moonbats will cancel our future as surely as they are canceling our past.
