Two Canadian professors have developed an approach they call Trojan horse pedagogy to peddle social justice to otherwise unassuming students.

The professors argue that "the ruse is justified" because most students are not interested in learning about social justice.


Two Canadian professors have developed an approach they call Trojan horse pedagogy to peddle social justice to otherwise unassuming students.

Sal Renshaw and Renee Valiquette, both of whom teach at Nipissing University in Ontario, detailed their extensive ruse in a recently published book, boasting that their Introduction to Interdisciplinary Analysis class is actually a social justice course in disguise.

"A Social Justice course evokes a range of assumptions...that prevents many from even considering enrolling."

Each offering of the course is centered around a specific theme, DIRT, SLOTH, WATER, GENIUS, and SECRETS, according to the professors, who say the themes provide a creative cover for the interdisciplinary social justice curriculum that they aim to offer.

Our goal in this class is to move both hearts and minds, in part by forcing an encounter with at least some knowledges that students have already decided they are not interested in, Renshaw and Valiquette explain, adding that the classes are rooted inpost-structural feminist theory.

For example, the class focused on DIRT has brought in guest lecturers on dirt and dirtiness, including a researcher on soil recovery and another on the cholera epidemic. Thus, while unassuming students think theyre getting a lesson in dirt, theyre really getting an entire class founded upon social justice theory.

Whereas a Gender Equality and Social Justice course evokes a range of assumptions about course content that prevents many from even considering enrolling, DIRT or SECRETS has no such baggage, they boast.

They aren't even trying to hide this shit anymore.

When everyone goes to work on Monday, Mal sits down and triggers himself into shitposting.

It doesn't pay nearly as well, but it's far more fulfilling when you help red pill somebody and get that sweet food stamp money.
