I'm in academia, just underwent this sort of training this week. Not interested in risking self identifying so I'll only go so far as to say that the Sierra Club's language is fairly close to how we are expected to talk with students, faculty, and staff. It is of course a "learning process" and so there is room for "growth and critical conversations", but the die has been cast, so to speak.


The parent comment is referring to high schools. I'm not surprised, and don't think anyone else is either, that there might be a university that has gone fully up its own butt this way. I'm curious to hear stories about high schools that have formalized it in some way, though. Do you have a story like that?


Couldn't say, they don't let me near the schools any more, not since I argued that sometimes breaking into the school with thermite could be justified.

More seriously, as much of a bastion of progressivism as these hallowed halls are, I'm 100% certain we are behind the curve of most blue state schools when it comes to how up to date we are on the appropriate ritual goat sacrifices.
