And that’s basically it!
Conservatism is indistinguishable from satire, at this point.
It's why I can't watch South Park anymore.
Only 159 OSU students out of the more than 67,000 were enrolled at the Chase Center for Civics, Culture and Society in 2025, according to state data. That is .2% of the campus.
How many were just there to further legit academic studies in fascist propaganda and abnormal psychology?
Yeah, if my college was doing anything like this I’d absolutely show up with my phone to record or pencil and paper if they don’t allow recording. The potential for study in several different fields is through the roof.
Literally teaching ignorance.
I went to The Ohio State University, this sickens me. What a fucking joke. They are shoving literal republican propaganda into higher education, and when nobody signed up for it, they're now going to force them.
One of the "teachers" there was already fired for attacking a student.
They're evil, they're stupid, and they're going to force your children to sit down and "learn" their ignorance. I truly despise republicans.
Yup. They can’t win fair and square, so they cheat.
their shitty republican ideas aren't good enough on their own merit to be taught in schools, so they're misusing DEI to shove it down our throats.
Remember how they kept saying their victims of woke being taught in schools?
I hate them.
S.B. 1 focuses on what Cirino calls “free speech,” banning public universities in Ohio from Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, having “bias” in the classroom and limiting how “controversial topics” can and can’t be taught. "Controversial" under Ohio law includes "belief policy that is the subject of political controversy, including issues such as climate policies, electoral politics, foreign policy, diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, immigration policy, marriage, or abortion."
The legislation also mandates students to take a civics course to graduate.
So...
They're not allowed to teach civics, but kids have to take civics?
If anything this is gonna make those kids more leftwing
Like, back in the day when kids got caught drinking underage so they had to work "sober nights" at student centers, and then all of them got shit faced after the event.
Forcing kids to do shit like this has the opposite effect.
From the party that claims the left is indoctrinating people, mandatory right wing classes!
I feel like this is going to backfire spectacularly. University education in the US is one of the very few industries where there is a vibrant competitive market with supply exceeding demand. College-age people are showered with invitations to enroll from around the continent.
Under this highly competitive landscape, I would think that even small things that prospective students might view negatively will weigh on these universities' enrollment numbers.
It's everywhere. I heard a comparison between the American revolution and the French revolution and thought that's an interesting topic. Went to YouTube, top 3 videos were from "In God we trust", "Rebel news", and "the heritage foundation".
If you’re interested in the French Revolution, the podcast Revolutions by historian Mike Duncan has season 3 devoted to the French Revolution. It’s very in depth but also very accessible.
Such a good podcast, I can't wait for the new one now that he's announced it.
New season, new podcast, or new revolution?
Leaving my previous comment.
New season.
Bruh... They interviewed D'Laveance Bert-Sims. There is no way they sub to the right.
Something something I dont want my kid indoctrinated something something
