Totalitarianism

Dr. Heather Oesterreich, Director of Secondary Education at New Mexico State University, is a white female. She hired a white female for the position of Assistant Director of Secondary Education. Where's the diversity? Not only is diversity lacking on the exterior, but it is also lacking on the interior; she hired someone with the same personal ideologies as herself. These personal ideologies have been established as course curriculum and the foundation for acceptance of students into the secondary teacher education program. My first class at NMSU was Multicultural Education where I have been taught to be a critical thinker. Come to find out that is not really what the secondary teacher education program wants. Instead, Dr. Oesterreich tells you what you are allowed to be critical of. Why in the realm of higher education is totalitarianism accepted?
