Columbia University Course on Trumpism Claims It Comes from Xenophobia

Share this article

Impartiality is apparently not a part of this course on Trumpism at the Teacher’s College at Columbia University. Professor Erika Kitzmiller’s course, “Education in the Age of Trump,” discusses “the past and present conditions that allowed Trump to seize electoral control of a major American political party and acknowledges the intersectional nature of power and politics.”

Kitzmiller also said that Trumpism is more than President Donald Trump, and it is defined by “political polarization, escalating inequality, and persistent racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and homophobia, as a product of history.”
