School is not Christian in ‘a lot of ways,’ professor says
Texas Christian University Professor Aesha John was caught on camera saying the school’s nursing and health science program is “growing” its diversity, equity, and inclusion program.
“Over time, we have become even more intentional about being race-conscious,” John told an undercover reporter with watchdog group Accuracy in Media.
For example, “If a white scholar is doing research, how does that impact the findings?” she said.
The associate professor also said she deliberately tries to discuss race in her classes.
“I teach research where I can easily not talk about those things, but I make a conscious effort to talk about those things also,” the professor said.
She added that while the school is officially Christian, in practice it isn’t “in a lot of ways.”
“I think we are very progressive,” she said.
