According to a report by Jessica Custodio of Campus Reform, an English professor at Iowa State University directed her students to not oppose abortion or Black Lives Matter in any of their coursework.
Young America’s Foundation reported that ISU English Professor Chloe Clark set forth in her English 250 syllabus that a number of political viewpoints cannot be discussed in class or in any homework assignments.
“GIANT WARNING: any instances of othering that you participate in intentionally (racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, [sic], sorophobia, transphobia, classism, mocking of mental health issues, body shaming, etc) in class are grounds for dismissal from the classroom,” Clark’s syllabus reportedly read. In addition, she said that the same warning is applicable “for any papers/projects”, and informs students that any writing that voices opposition to abortion, gay marriage, and Black Lives matter will not be tolerated.
