Leaked Powerpoint from University of Illinois Course Reveals Far-Left Indoctrination in the Classroom
College campuses across the country are one part education and two parts far-left indoctrination factories.
The latest example comes from the University of Illinois, located in Urbana-Champaign.
Fox News Digital obtained slides from a student whistleblower from an education course for first-semester students, EDUC 201, titled “Identity and Difference in Education.”
The course, which is required to graduate, forces 1st year education majors to prioritize equity, LGBTQ+ issues, privileged identities, and preferred pronouns.
The student whistleblower accused the professor of turning the class into an indoctrination seminar.
The 25 slides originated from the lesson “Living in Uncertainty: Understanding Immigrant, Migrant, & Refugee Student Populations” in week 15, taught by Professor Gabriel Rodriguez in the school’s College of Education, which focused on immigration.
The first slide features a photo of a person holding a sign at a demonstration that reads, “No human being is illegal.”
The fifth slide is called “Language Matters,” and polices students’ language about immigration and immigrants.
“Using terms like ‘illegal immigrants,’ ‘illegal aliens,’ or ‘illegals’” is harmful, the slide says, explaining that using those terms is “dehumanizing and degrading,” that they reinforce existing negative stereotypes about immigrant communities and connect immigration with criminality, that they fuel perspectives that immigrants have no rights and that they facilitate “scapegoating communities for larger systemic issues.”
Explaining the difference between immigrants and refugees, the presentation insists, without making the distinction between illegal and legal immigrants, that, “Immigrants migrate to pursue better opportunities (e.g., work, education).” Refugees flee other countries to avoid “persecution, conflict, or violence.”

Watch:
Future educators at woke universities are not learning how to teach kids. They’re learning how to push politics.
