Chuck Darwin<p>Conservative activists launched a public campaign to enact new model legislation called the "General Education Act". </p><p>Behind this bland name is a proposal for the most radical assault on faculty and academic freedom in American history. </p><p>If the model legislation were to be enacted, lawmakers would force public colleges to adopt a uniform general education curriculum devoted to conservative values, give a new dean near-total power to hire all faculty to teach these classes and then require the firing of many existing faculty members in the humanities and social sciences, including tenured professors.</p><p>The GEA’s extreme ideas are not the babblings of some obscure blogger. They are a joint proposal from three leading conservative groups<br>—the Ethics and Public Policy Center, <br>—the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, and <br>—the National Association of Scholars. </p><p>One lead author, 😱Stanley Kurtz😱, has an extensive track record of writing legislation aimed at suppressing liberal ideas in education. </p><p>His 2021 "Partisanship Out of Civics Act" has been copied by state legislators seeking to ban critical race theory. </p><p>A profile of Kurtz in The Guardian called him “the conservative scholar who lit a match to the U.S. right’s education wars.”<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/StanleyKurtz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StanleyKurtz</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GEA</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NAS</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EPPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EPPC</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/JGMCAR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JGMCAR</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/POCA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>POCA</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/repression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>repression</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/views/2023/11/16/new-front-right-wing-attack-academia-opinion" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">insidehighered.com/opinion/vie</span><span class="invisible">ws/2023/11/16/new-front-right-wing-attack-academia-opinion</span></a></p>
