Leveling America

Social Justice and Identity in American Higher Education

National Association of Scholars

Event Summary


Join NAS on December 6, as we launch a bombshell report on Social Justice Education in America, a study of the influence of social justice advocates at over 60 colleges and universities nationwide.

The report is a comprehensive examination of the inner workings of social justice advocates at these universities and how they have insinuated themselves into the university system to propagandize students. Administrators have transformed universities into training camps for progressive activism. Most job postings for professors today demand conformity to the doctrine of social justice. Entire campus bureaucracies are built on social justice, contributing to the skyrocketing cost of tuition. Soon universities will be staffed entirely by people who teach activism and call it education.

We offer several tactics to change this landscape, including legislation, disrupting the career tracks available to social justice advocates, and eliminating jobs that prioritize advocacy over education.
