High school students who aspire to be social justice warriors are increasingly finding higher education options available to them, as more than 100 colleges and universities in the U.S. now offer formal academic programs in “social justice,” according to research by the College Fix.
The Fix discovered at least 64 American colleges that offer minors in social justice or a markedly similar field. At least 18 schools offer four-year degrees, and at least 15 offer master’s degrees.
There are even two universities that offer Ph.D. programs with a social justice focus: The University of Massachusetts-Amherst (Social Justice Education) and Fielding Graduate School in California (Inclusive Leadership for Social Justice).
Schools with social justice programs range from small private universities, such as Carleton College in Minnesota (B.A. in Human Rights and Social Justice), to large public universities, such as the University of Michigan (minor in Peace and Social Justice), to religious institutions such as Northeastern Seminary (M.A. in Theology and Social Justice). Even Cornell, an Ivy League school, has an MPA program in Human Rights and Social Justice.
These schools offer a wide variety of social justice-themed classes.
At Merrimack College, for instance, social justice majors can take a class called “Thinking Green: Environmental Justice, Gender, and Animal Rights.” Students in the University of Iowa’s social justice B.A. program can learn about the “History of American Inequality.” Ohio Wesleyan University offers a course on “Feminist Perspectives on Race and Gender in the Media.”
At the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, social justice minors can learn about “Gay & Lesbian Literature,” while Oregon State University offers an entire program in “Food in Culture and Social Justice,” including a course titled “Food and Ethnic Identity: Decolonizing Our Food and Body.”
Scott Greer, deputy editor at the Daily Caller, can only shake his head at the rise of these non-traditional academic programs.
“Social justice degrees are a logical conclusion to the prevalent trends within higher education that stress teaching left-wing orthodoxy over real-life skills,” Greer told WND. “It’s unclear how this major will help a student navigate a real workplace environment, and is likely only going to encourage them to identify every little thing as a representation of white supremacy.”
Greer, author of “No Campus For White Men: The Transformation of Higher Education Into Hateful Indoctrination,” said there is one good thing about the creation of social justice majors: “It exposes the fraudulent priorities of contemporary higher education.”
Political correctness is just the beginning. The situation on college campuses is worse than you could ever imagine – and America’s future is at stake. Don’t miss the political blockbuster of 2017 – “No Campus For White Men” by Scott Greer.
International journalist and educator Alex Newman, co-author of “Crimes of the Educators,” said the appearance of social justice degrees is a natural byproduct of a public K-12 education system that no longer prioritizes real education.
“After generations of dumbing down and indoctrinating children in government schools, it was inevitable that this would happen someday,” Newman told WND. “As Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld and I show in ‘Crimes of the Educators,’ this sort of lunacy is the bitter fruit produced by the poison tree that is the ‘progressive,’ anti-Christian, anti-liberty, collectivist government education inflicted on the American people by socialist humanist John Dewey and his radical cohorts. Now the proverbial chickens are coming home to roost.”
Newman foresees devastating consequences for the country: “Legions of brainwashed social-justice warriors with ‘community organizing’ skills and thorough statist and humanist indoctrination will constantly agitate for more government, less freedom, more globalism, more insanity, and more tax funding to feed the perpetually expanding beast that has been unleashed on America and the world.”
Newman suspects those who graduate with social justice degrees will have trouble getting real-world jobs that create value for society. On the contrary, he worries about the adverse effects they will have on society.
“The danger, if taxpayers and voters are not vigilant, is that these indoctrinated overgrown children will end up burrowing their way into government and becoming a permanent parasite class that sustains itself by leeching off the taxpayer and making ever-more ludicrous demands,” Newman warned.
“These taxpayer-funded universities are producing zealots to wage war on God, Christianity and liberty on an industrial scale. Taxpayers and voters must demand an end to it.”

Do you believe social injustices should be ignored or go unresolved? We have been inflicted with complex social challenges more than ever, especially now that Trump has taken away just about all of our protections to help citizens fight against giant conglomerates. These injustices impact our communities, social institutions, health and environment, and we need more people who will be or are advocates for those who are underrepresented and vulnerable to exploitation.
Also please show me these free tax funded universities...

Makes you wonder how any of us ever got through it all doesn't it..
Preprogrammed thinking will not achieve what you point out..What you say in need is correct but that will or fight as defined will never occur with what's coming out of college now..
The divide of this country came ever so strong in the last 8 years..Trump had nothing to do with that and he has not taken away all of our protections at all??
How has he taken away our protections, perhaps I'm misconstruing your statement???
Social justice in context, is based on the concepts of human rights and equality, and can be defined as "the way in which human rights are manifested in the everyday lives of people at every level of society".... Not bought and programmed but in the individualists perspective to achieve...At least so goes the definition of~~
The concept of justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.
"individuality" again not programming..Not socialism on any level other than the induction of this wave right now.. I wonder who's bright idea it was??!
If any of what is addressed here for this Social Justice scam sure looks like once again it's really you have more than me and I don't have it because of social injustice... The blame game because you can't stand on your own two feet and sustain yourself others should give up their drive and initiatives so you can..
To read this implies they are brain fed with perceived social injustices rather than social justice ...

The thirty richest people in the United States are worth $792 billion, yet 633,000 Americans are homeless during the winter. Inequalities exist in nearly every corner of the country. Added together, they reveal broader systemic injustices tied to lack of economic opportunities, education, justice and healthcare. But millions of professional devote their lives to helping others overcome inequality. From social workers to civil rights attorneys, those with a passion for fighting inequality and find fulfilling careers across dozens of professional fields. This guide explores these career and education programs, provides resources for fighting inequality, and gives insights from a nonprofit professional.
Although the U.S. strives to award people based on their merit, some groups face systemic obstacles to achieving the American dream. The term “inequality” refers to disadvantages whole groups of people face because of their age, ethnicity, gender or socioeconomic status. These disadvantages can help determine whether someone can access education, well-paying jobs or quality healthcare. Moreover, inequalities are often interrelated. For instance, social inequality forces many minority groups into subpar schools, leading to long-term income loss that makes them less able to afford healthcare.

You can bet that working for a living won't be a part of it.

Once again, correct!!!
I took some time reading about this supposed savior of our next generation and everything was about it's INJUSTICE of society for them and how to keep the wealth distribution going for all, blah, blah, blah,,
What is especially crippling is the obvious removal of independent thought, drive, Motivation etc. .. All things needed for a society to thrive and achieve....But not what they want from a socialist environment!!!
By the time this generation comes about they won't know how to fit in to a society of thinkers and doers...That is truly scary....

Dave, I don't know if you read Heritage Foundation literature but you may find this pretty well spot on from an independent source I enjoy reading..
Abstract: For its proponents, "social justice" is usually undefined. Originally a Catholic term, first used about 1840 for a new kind of virtue (or habit) necessary for post-agrarian societies, the term has been bent by secular "progressive" thinkers to mean uniform state distribution of society's advantages and disadvantages. Social justice is really the capacity to organize with others to accomplish ends that benefit the whole community. If people are to live free of state control, they must possess this new virtue of cooperation and association. This is one of the great skills of Americans and, ultimately, the best defense against statism.
Let us begin by asking what most people think social justice is. After that, let us review how the term arose. It is a Catholic concept, later taken over by secular progressives. What social justice actually is turns out to be very different from the way the term is now used popularly.
As I see it, social justice requires resource equity, fairness, and respect for diversity, as well as the eradication of existing forms of social oppression. Social justice entails a "redistribution" of resources from those who have "unjustly" gained them to those who justly deserve them, and it also means creating and "ensuring" the processes of truly democratic participation in decision-making.... It seems clear that only a "decisive" redistribution of resources and decision-making power can "ensure" social justice and authentic democracy.
<snip> plenty more to read and it's really well done..

Actually, yes Dave... Does it not speak volumes of where our future generations is being guided/ inducted into???
How did we ever make it in this world of so many " injustices" we learned to deal with and were motivators to achieving???

0boe?
You're stating something you have no way of knowing, are you a fortune teller, have a crystal ball? The study of this also aids in the study of child advocacy, health advocacy, law, education, social justice education, government, human rights, disability rights, environmental justice, human services, criminal justice, health care, business, non-profit organizations and more. Education leads to the ability of critical thinking, weighing pros and cons, reason and logic, all good things to add to ones intellectual repertoire.
