FINALLY, DOING SOMETHING ABOUT INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM: University abruptly suspends diversity classes: ‘students have been humiliated and degraded.’ “Tromp’s decision came around the same time as Idaho lawmakers passed a state education budget that takes away about $409,000 from Boise State University because of its social justice curriculum, Idaho Ed News reports.”
