Perhaps helping explain why 59 percent of prospective teachers flunked a state competency test, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst listed the following teacher-education courses: "Leadership in Changing Times," "Embracing Diversity," "Diversity & Change," "Oppression & Education," "Introduction to Multicultural Education," "Social Diversity in Education" (four courses), "Black Identity," "Classism," "Racism," "Sexism," "Jewish Oppression," "Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Oppression," "Oppression of the Disabled," and "Erroneous Beliefs."
