Journalists these days don’t get much respect because of their inability to research all sides of a story and report on facts. Rather, they insert their own opinions to direct a certain narrative. Students who graduate with communication and journalism degrees go on to further their Marxist ideologies that their professors forced on them during their time in school, which is why we need to call out these professors indoctrinating our youth to believe false and incredibly harmful ideas that are tearing apart our society. Enter, Turning Point USA Professor Watchlist.
Tracey Patton is a Communication and Journalism professor at the University of Wyoming. According to her bio, her work is “strongly influenced by critical theory and womanist theory.” Although she claims to be “pro-women” she publicly supports and is currently writing a book about leftist U.S. Representative Maxine Waters. A woman who has been known to push extremely divisive narratives which ultimately harms women in society today.
Patton also claims that the legacy of Jim Crow is still in America currently. In an article for the Wyoming Public Media, she says that African Americans tend to live in more urban areas while white people live in suburbs, which she compares to a modern-day version of segregation and Jim Crow.
While Professor Patton defends women who incite violence, declares America to be a systemically racist country, and believes that Jim Crow segregation still exists today, she teaches her students that “anger is a wonderfully transformative and empowering rhetorical choice sometimes.”
When you take a step back and realize that what she is teaching her students only furthers this toxic lie that America is an evil and awful place, you start to understand just how true her statement about anger being a ‘transformative rhetorical choice’ actually can be. Professors like Tracey Patton need to be called out, fired, and replaced in our school systems so future generations are properly educated by the values America truly stands on.
