  • Social Justice Ideology in Idaho Higher Education
    BOISE STATE Social justice ideology in Idaho higher education By Dr. Scott Yenor & Anna K. Miller December 2020 “The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.” Alexander Solzhenitsyn TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 1 Recommendations for Reform 2 Social Justice Ideology in Idaho Higher Education 4 SECTION 1 Administration Promotes Social Justice Education 7 How it Happened 8 Deans and Leadership 10 Social Justice Policies at Boise State 12 Inclusive Excellence Student Council 14 SECTION 2 Curriculum and Student Experience 17 General Education Map 18 Department Map 20 Writing Center 22 Social Justice Departments Highlighted 24 Residence Halls 27 Conclusion 29 About the Authors 30 Works Cited 31 “There is the moral dualism that sees good and evil as instincts within us between which we must choose. But there is also what I will call pathological dualism that sees humanity itself as radically… divided into the unimpeachably good and the irredeemably bad. You are either one or the other.” – Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks Social Justice Ideology in Idaho Higher Education 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Social justice education poses a threat to education in America and to the American way of life. Social justice education divides the world into aggrieved minorities and oppressive majorities. Wherever it is practiced, it compromises the achievement of truth, the free exchange of ideas, and the aspiration for assimilating people into the great American melting pot. It cultivates anger and resentment among the supposedly aggrieved, while undermining the stability and mutual toleration that contributes to individual happiness and good citizenship. Universities are slowly building up an apparatus where social justice ideology is displacing education toward professions and general education.

  • CAUFORNIA GEOGRAPHICAL Society INTERSTATE Scott L
    CAUFORNIA GEOGRAPHICAL SociETY Vol. XXXIII, 1993 CALIFORNIA'S REDISTRIBUTIVE ROLE IN INTERSTATE MIGRATION, 1935-1990 Scott L Kirsch alifornia has for long been the primary geographic focus of west­ Cward migration across the United States. In recent decades, while California has continued to attract the greatest number of interstate mi­ grants, the state has also emerged as the country's leading redistributor of population. From 1985 to 1990, nearly 2 million interstate migrants moved to California, and during the same period over 1.8 miUion inter­ state migrants left California for other states (U.S. Department of Commerce 1993). For the third consecutive decade, California not only attracted the greatest number of interstate migrants, it was also the most common state of origin for United States internal migration. In the pro­ cess of California's interstate population exchange, clear geographic pat­ terns have developed: Californja has gained population from the Northeastern and Midwestern states of the traditional industrial core, and lost popu1ation to the states of the peripheral West, most notably to Washington and Oregon (Kirsch 1991). Meanwhile, Californja now at­ tracts more international migrants than any other state (Muller and Espenshade 1985), and with immigration as the largest component of California's population growth, larger than both interstate migration and natural increase, the state's population reached 29.8 million .in 1990 (U.S. Department of Commerce 1993). Bearing in mind these trends in migration flow and population growth, an analysis of California's role as a population redistributor is a crucial step towards understanding the movement and distribution of popu1ation in the United States.

  • Science Education at the Crossroads Alta Lodge, Utah • October 11-13, 2018
    Science Education at the Crossroads Alta Lodge, Utah • October 11-13, 2018 WELCOME! Dear Crossroaders, It’s a pleasure to welcome you to our 2018 meeting. This is an odd thing to write, since we composed this Welcome far in advance. This gives the ink time to affix to the page, for the pages to be bound, and so this volume can be delivered to your door. And yet, here it is, this strange warping of time and space that bridges us together. At the time of this writing, we’ve just confirmed final preparations at Alta, and Adam has set foot upon the property, arranging a few tables and checking on the progress of the changing aspen leaves. All seems to be in order. But the main ingredient in all of this is you. We know, we say this all the time. Those of you who have joined us before have heard this refrain, and those of you yet to get to know us will get used to this tune: we host this meeting because it’s the conference that we wish to attend. You just happen to be what makes it all possible, in addition to the aspen leaves. Make no mistake, though. We’ve come to realize that Crossroads is not just a gift to ourselves, but an investment in all of us. We see work deposited here that pays dividends in ways we never can predict or even imagine. People move, launch new career paths, innovate personal practices. We have a particular nostalgia for Alta that dates back to our meeting in 2008.

Brubaker: Dream of Californication: Constitutional Questions Put the Brakes 2011] DREAM OF CALIFORNICATION: CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS PUT THE BRAKES ON THE NATION'S FIRST LOW CARBON FUEL STANDARD I. INTRODUCTION While the federal government struggles to pass a comprehen- sive climate bill, California finds itself in the familiar position as a leader in clean energy and environmental policy by establishing the nation's first low carbon fuel standard (LCFS). 1 Standing in its way, however, are several lawsuits pending in the Ninth Circuit alleging that California's LCFS violates the United States Constitution.2 The plaintiffs in these lawsuits, including ethanol producers, corn farm- ers, and trucking associations, are all fighting to prevent unfavora- ble corn-ethanol regulations from decimating the corn-ethanol market in California, the nation's largest ethanol-consuming state.3 As the scientific community debates the facts surrounding the in- clusion of indirect land-use change in carbon accounting, the coun- try awaits a decision from the Eastern District of California on the important constitutional and environmental issues associated with state regulations of carbon emissions.4 1.
