Counseling journal wants papers on ‘white supremacy,’ ‘homophobia’ MATT LAMB
"...University of Maryland Professor William Liu is the new chief editor and shared he is “the first person of Color to serve in this prestigious role,” since the journal started in 1954.
  • “I came to this role because of the dedication and spirit of so many Black, Indigenous, Latine/x, Asian, and other non-Black scholars and practitioners of Color who sought to create a more just and humanizing science and profession and transformed counseling psychology,” he wrote.
  • He thanked the researchers, clinicians, and scholars who “demanded that psychology acknowledge the embeddedness of white supremacy and anti-Blackness, and the ways that systematic, cultural, historical, and institutional mechanisms excluded, erased, and demeaned their ontoepistemologies, lived experiences, and aspirations.”...
  • In addition to “empowering people to improve their lives and promoting psychological functioning and resilience,” psychology should also center “marginalized voices” and address “systemic oppression” and eliminate “health inequities.”...

Watch CBS explaining planet getting warmer makes it colder | Blaze Media

For a long time, the media has harped on global warming — the idea that our planet is progressively getting hotter, causing countless issues.

However, as soon as the temperatures plummet — as they inevitably do — people start asking questions about the legitimacy of global warming.

NYU Professor Tells Students of Hamas Atrocities: ‘We Know It’s Not True’ - By Oliver Wiseman

NYU Professor Tells Students of Hamas Atrocities: ‘We Know It’s Not True’ - By Oliver Wiseman
"...Meet Amin Husain. Amin is an adjunct professor at NYU, where he has taught a course on “art and activism.” 
He also gave a talk last month at The New School, where he denied some of Hamas’s recent atrocities in Israel.
  • Video obtained by The Free Press shows Husain speaking at a “teach-in” organized by Students for Justice in Palestine at The New School. “We know it’s not true,” he says of evidence that women were raped and babies were beheaded on October 7. 
  • During his speech on the “Palestinian liberation struggle,” Husain also declares that New York is a “Zionist city” and jokes that he has “won the honors of antisemitic multiple times.”
In other words, Husain is exactly the sort of person who should be molding young minds at $60,000-per-year NYU...
