    To be honest, I was taught a little bit of anti-rightwing knowledge in university mandated “elective” courses. Nothing as drastic as the conservatives make it out to be.

    I had a class on privilege, Basically, how the system games minorities (less pay for women, higher chance for black men to run afoul of the police). The goal was to for graduates to never think “black people are poor because they want to be poor.”

    My English 101 class also involved a textbook that was very image positive (involving trans identities, women covered in tattoos, etc.)

    I went to an urban university in the same part of the county try I was born in.
