Blowing the Whistle on a Spreading Plague

“Social justice” ideology is a plague of the mind that’s been spreading rapidly throughout American higher education. No state is immune.

The Martin Center sought to find out how bad it has gotten in North Carolina and so we commissioned a study by Professor Scott Yenor (Boise State U.) and Anna Miller (Idaho Freedom Foundation). We have recently published that study, “Critical Social Justice in the UNC System.”

Yenor and Miller have done a terrific job of documenting the spread of the social-justice ideology, which is presented as truth, not a debatable set of notions.

Officials and educational leaders in other states should consider doing similar analyses. It’s important to attack this plague before it does any more damage.
