Meaning courses that teach about melanin and how it makes black people genetically superior? This alone would be a step in educating against interacial marriage?

Any classes promoting the importance of starting businesses,working and living within the community?


Or is mostly just learning the same cirriculum the white man teaches. This is a spinoff of that other thread talking about how H.B.C.U applications are at record numbers due to rollback of race based initiatives,who wouldve guessed?


Now is the time to completely overhaul the cirriculum if its not currently based in knowledge of self. Which judging from the outside looking in,it is not:respect:

HBCUs, like the American education system in general, is strictly designed to create workers.

If you want to learn anything outside of skills that will make you valuable to an employer, you live in the Information Age where you can educate or miseducate yourself free of charge.

Interesting question. No if they continue to follow the standards for accreditation which they will most likely do. Some systems are not challenged and education is one of them. :manny:

Nah.
It was mandatory for all freshman to take African American studies when I was in school, but that was nothing like what you’re speaking of. Right now, each freshman is required to take a course called knowledge of AA culture and history.

To get what you’re looking for, it requires your community, outside the schools, to teach it to you.
