San Diego State University plans to offer a course called "Black Minds Matter: A Focus on Black Boys and Men in Education," that was inspired in part by the Black Lives Matter movement.

The weekly course will be open to the public for enrollment in October and will feature various speakers who will talk about how black men are undervalued in the classroom.

The professor who helped create the online course says it will connect themes from the Black Lives Matter movement to issues facing blacks in educational settings.

The upcoming course has drawn criticism.

A number of U.S. colleges, including New York University, University of Washington and the University of Miami, now offer courses that include discussion of the Black Lives Matter movement.
