Top business schools push CRT and other progressive ideas, report findsAmerica’s prestigious business schools regularly push leftist ideologies, including critical race theory and environmental, social, and governance standards, according to a new report.The Legal Insurrection Foundation launched the project through its CriticalRace.org database. It details the CRT and environmental, social, and governance initiatives at the top 10 business schools in the country, including minority scholarship programs, discriminatory admissions practices, and “anti-racism” trainings required for faculty members.Foundation founder William Jacobson, a Cornell Law School professor, told The College Fix that business schools should not be using university funds to sponsor or elevate these types of ideologies in the classroom.“CRT and ESG are failed ideologies which politicize and racialize education,” Jacobson said.“While the study of such subjects should not be banned, there is no reason to put university resources behind promoting those topics,” Jacobson said via email. “Almost any university purpose would be a better allocation of resources.”Jacobson also said business schools were contributing to the issue by including these ideologies in course curricula as students have likely already encountered them in other classes.“The vice of these subjects is that they inject one-sided political ideologies into business curriculum, without any measurable benefit,” Jacobson said.“Almost all business school students already will have been exposed to or studied some form of CRT/ESG in secondary and higher education. There is no reason to compound the problem in business school,” he said.Additionally, the database revealed that several of the business schools’ recommended reading lists contained books written by left-wing authors such as Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo.Harvard Business School, the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School have all hosted events based on or suggested reading Kendi’s book “How to be an Antiracist” and DiAngelo’s (pictured) book “White Fragility,” according to the database.
