Mandatory Social Justice Class Included References to Rodney King and an Anti-Cop Song
The anti-police narrative is alive and well:
Several students in a required course at Roger Williams University were appalled when a recent social justice-themed lecture featured a video of the Rodney King beating followed by a song called “F*** the Police.”
Students in one of the sections of Core 102 (“History in the Modern World: Ideas of Democracy”) toldCampus Reform their professor, Autumn Quezada-Grant, conducts the class in a fairly provocative manner that has led them to consider the course as something of an advertisement for social justice teachings.
Prof. Quezada-Grant has explicitly structured her class largely around social justice, saying in the syllabus: “We will poke and prod the idea(s) surrounding democracy, with an added topic—the topic of social justice.”
