However, lectures will be pre-recorded (from Fall 2021) with the lecture time being used for synchronous Q&A. This course offering will have one lecture section, meeting 2:30-3:20 on MWF on the time schedule. “We are opening a new offering of CSE 143, which will run independently of the current course with a different instructor. And if you’re not willing to say their version of it, they won’t let you say anything at all.” They want you to say their version of it. They don’t want you to say what you really believe about the land in relationship to the Native Americans. “ encouraged faculty in my college to make such statements on our syllabus,” Reges told the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. At the UW, you better feel bad for not stealing the land you’re teaching on or you will pay a price. And you better pretend to be outraged too, or you may not proudly call yourself a progressive any longer.Īlthough relatively few people even read the land acknowledgment, the UW took swift action. They needed the world to know that, yet again, their feelings were hurt. Other basement dwellers took to Reddit to whine. When students, staff, and random social justice warriors on Twitter saw Reges’ land acknowledgment, they immediately pretended to be offended. UW students, staff pretend to be upset over land acknowledgment trolling They’ll just offer a note to selectively acknowledge past sins. Of course, none of these professors teaching on “stolen land” will give up their six-figure salaries. It was only the evil white man responsible. They pretend various groups and tribes did not displace one another. But it also suggests they’re historically illiterate (or too partisan to care about accuracy). When white people add these notes, it is to express their progressive bona fides. It’s intended to present professors as sensitive and virtuous while teaching young adults to hate the country.

Land acknowledgments are notes meant to feign anger and hurt for existing on supposedly stolen land. With the encouragement of the progressive UW administration, woke professors include land acknowledgments in their syllabi.

She even went so far as to offer a course to compete with the course offered by Reges. She claimed the professor’s land acknowledgment note was “offensive” because it did not properly pretend to be offended by teaching on land the administration pretends was stolen from Native Americans. After several minutes of the teacher “war hooping & tomahawk chopping,” the student began filming because he “felt that violence was being committed against him and he had the right to record.Balazinska emailed students to apologize for the “offensive” land acknowledgment and said it was removed from the syllabus. (Part of the RUSD statement found on CBS News)Īccording to Los Angeles Times, Dee Dee Manzanares Ybarra, the director of the American Indian Movement‘s Southern California chapter and tribal chair of the Rumšen Am:a Tur:ataj Ohlone says, “Community members organized a protest Thursday afternoon in response to the video.”Ī post from Iviviq states, “Yesterday, a Native American student filmed this video in his Math class. Their first paragraph states, “These behaviors are completely unacceptable and an offensive depiction of the vast and expansive Native American cultures and practices.” After “praying” she continues with, “because obviously, this is ridiculous.”ĬNN News predicts, “The video appears to have been recorded by a student in Riverside, California, during a math lesson and posted on social media by another person.” CNN has tried multiple times to contact the person who posted the videos, but has so far been unsuccessful.Ī statement was sent out by RUSD (Riverside Unified School District) explaining their view on the incident. In multiple clips you can hear her say, “water goddess” and “rock god” with her hands folded in prayer. Many videos of the incident can be found, but they all have one thing in common, the teacher repeatedly mocks Native American Culture. She stands on tables, mocks prayers, dances, jumps, and shouts, “Soh-Cah-Toa!” Another video can be found on CNN.

In the video, a high school math teacher wears a headdress and mimics a Native American dance. On October 21st, 2021, a video of a teacher was taken by a student.
