Harvard leftist summer reading list recommends book on how to indoctrinate students with CRT
Harvard University’s summer reading list includes various books covering topics like transgenderism, feminism, and racism, including one book that states that educators should teach their students ideas related to Critical Race Theory.
“We’ve got recommendations from the Harvard community, titles from Harvard authors, and a glimpse inside some new releases,” the school’s website reads.
A page titled “Need a good book?” under Harvard’s “Summer Reads” section advertises “We Want to Do More Than Survive,” a book that argues that “the US educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color.”
Harvard doctoral student, DeAnza Cook, says the book is a “powerful appeal to build transformative educational homeplaces rooted in abolitionist pedagogies for liberation,” and recommends it for “[diversity, inclusion, and belonging] educators and enthusiasts.”
The book urges that educators “must teach students about racial violence, oppression, and how to make sustainable change in their communities through radical civic initiatives and movements.”
The author of the book, Dr. Bettina Love, is a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University, who previously said her work focuses on “help[ing] white people become less racist.” She also previously wrote that educators should “[r]emove all punitive or disciplinary practices that spirit murder Black, Brown, and Indigenous children.”
Another book on the reading list, “Detransition, Baby” by Torrey Peters, “follows the lives of three women, transgender and cisgender, and shows how their experiences intertwine around a pregnancy.”
“Living a Feminist Life” by Sara Ahmed is also mentioned on the Harvard summer list. Ahmed’s book explores, among other topics, “how feminists create inventive solutions . . . to survive the shattering experiences of facing the walls of racism and sexism.”

Does anybody remember the documentary HOOP DREAMS? Or the 7-Up series (14-Up, 21-Up, etc)?
If I had the knowledge and the resources, I would commission a documentary to follow a bunch of bright high schoolers — some end up at Harvard, some do not.
And watch the process.
Sort of like watching the Titanic get built, and then go for its maiden voyage
I honestly find it incomprehensible that any family would have anything to do with Harvard.
Teaching is not about the subject, it’s about the revolution. As is always true for Marxists.
So many woke companies are having issues with performance – look at Boeing. When a company is targeted ( they all are ) the first course of action is to colonize HR. Force out the non-compliant, then hire like minded, train them in the SJW agenda, for others in the organization to comply or have their life made untenable. I’ve seen it and heard it from a VP of Business Management at a big three defense contractor. The CEO is there too. So is the current DoD. “It’s not enough that you are not racist; you must be anti-racist. And if you have problem with that I will make your life untenable at this company.” And so on – accept the narrative or else. On a large telcon aimed mostly at LGBTQXYZ folks. I dialed in out of curiosity. I said nothing.
Vox Day described how it works a decade ago, having survived it himself. It wasn’t something most of us had direct contact with. No longer true. Large companies are now dominated by SJW/Wokistas. They neither understand or care to understand how to run their respective businesses. They do know how to force others to accept their corrosive philosophy. They’re a virus.

“powerful appeal to build transformative educational homeplaces rooted in abolitionist pedagogies for liberation”
Who, aside from someone with an advanced degree in education, talks like that?
Just like a cult. as has been observed by many others.
It’s like these people are in so deep, they have no ability to sense how ridiculous they are. Again, like a cult.
First rule of writing, especially nonfiction:
“Use simple straightforward language”
Strunk & White said it.
Wm Zinsser said it.
Any Rand said it.
They’ve all said it.
These folks — at the least — should not be trusted.
At the very least, anybody who speaks or writes like this is not someone who should be trusted.
In the 1970s I worked at a summer camp in Massachusetts. Several counselors were Harvard students. No matter what we-all we’re chatting about, whether the topic was serious or just run-of-the-mill ordinary bullshitting, it always seemed the Harvard guys took a contrary point of view. And they were always so certain of the superiority of their viewpoint.
Gotta admit—they were older, and I did look up to them. I mean, who knew. But today?? Shjeesh
Time to cut off the Qatari and Chinese cash spigot to Harvard yet or are we sticking with “MUH GOVERNMENT BADDD!!!!!”
This is what allowing foreign governments to invest in our institutions of education looks like.
Cut off China and Qatar and Iran and a people called Americans get to call the shots at American educational institutions.
