The education blob likes to keep the public in the dark regarding its actions. Lots of professors, e.g., hide the fact that their courses are mostly leftist agit-prop.

One move to combat this is to demand curricular transparency so that members of the public can find out what is really being taught. Georgia’s university system has recently taken a big step in the right direction, as Jenna Robinson explains in today’s Martin Center article.

She writes:

On May 15, 2025, the USG Board of Regents voted to require that “all institutions within the University System of Georgia shall post course syllabi on their public websites.” The new policy stipulates that required readings, key learning objectives, course descriptions, grading policies, attendance policies, and academic-integrity statements must be included on syllabi. In a letter to university presidents, USG chancellor Sonny Perdue wrote that the new policy “will ensure that students receive information about the course content, the requirements of the course, and the methods of evaluation employed.”

Three cheers, but dedicated leftist profs won’t give up easily. University officials will need to check to ensure that, say, English professors aren’t covertly teaching Critical Race Theory.

Georgia is not alone in this. As Robinson observes, “In adopting this reform, USG joins several other states and state systems. Texas, Florida, Indiana, and Ohio have all passed legislation mandating syllabus transparency, while the Utah System of Higher Education requires syllabi for all mandatory courses to be posted to a publicly searchable database.”

The battle to recapture education ground seized by the left will be a long one.
