I'm a liberal professor, and my liberal students terrify me

Having been in classes in very liberal institutions in the last decade, I can guarantee that not only did that instructor dismiss this student’s challenge, he/she went out of their way to ridicule this student.

I had one class, world geography, where the instructor produced climate change propaganda for every section. When I would challenge him and show him the “follow-up” articles that outright contradicted what he provided, he would change the subject then close the discussion so I couldn’t respond.

He tried to brainwash his class about the subprime crisis and then gets his knickers in a twist because some student makes a formal protest about his lib/fascist presentation.

Now I'm supposed to feel sorry about him and all the other libs who created the cesspool of p.c. thought that now dominates many universities? Tough toenails professor...he who rides the tiger dare not dismount.

Liberalism at it’s finest. When an entire generation of liberals took over academia, the resulting problems in the world were not hard to predict. Which is why the 1936 Communist Goals put such emphasis on doing that very thing.

The most insidious part is that the kids taught by the libs simply don’t have the tools to see the indoctrination for what it is...because...

They were specifically taught to NOT have that tool in the toolbox.

I graduated in '94 at a state university in Wisconsin...not Madison. I had been attending college part time for about twenty-five years at the same university.

By and large, most of my profs were decidedly leftist and a few outright communists. They didn't all wear their politics on their sleeves, but many were not shy about it. Some of them were really obnoxious jerks, but most were decent people outside of their politics.

I have no idea what my professors thought. I went to an engineering school. I would guess fairly conservative (lots of oil, gas, mining). But I see in my Alumni magazine they are developing new sources of energy and research. Global warming you know. Sad - what I learned at that school makes me look at the facts. I guess they need their government funding though.

The simplicity and absolutism of this conception has combined with the precarity of academic jobs to create higher ed's current climate of fear, a heavily policed discourse of semantic sensitivity in which safety and comfort have become the ends and the means of the college experience.

Probably the only logical outcome of years of multiculturalism, all sorts of ethnic studies, women's studies, queer studies and on and on. So many groups with so many grievances have emerged that little can be evaluated objectively, let alone openly criticized.

When I started reading articles about 'safe zones' and how the hypersensitive feelings of students had begun to dictate what discourse was acceptable, I knew a new realm of idiocy and degeneracy had been entered.

I wonder if the good professor has considered the long term consequences of this trend.

It will continue to make liberal college graduates even LESS employable in the private sector where real knowledge and results matter.

Political correctness is self inflicted delusion. If practiced by a critical number of people, especially people in important political, social and business positions, an entire culture corrodes due to a dearth of analytical thinking and expression.
However this professor makes it clear why it is important to bring lawsuits against institutions and individuals that implement and enforce free speech codes. Its important to hold them personally and financially responsible for violations of civil rights.

They ‘appeared to be’ decent people in public. They were in fact liberal garbage. Just another aspect of pushing the lie of leftist politics.

“See? We are nice guys! We just see things differently!”

No, they are proto-nazis that will be the first to drop the facade when like a supposedly ‘peaceful muslim’ they take power.

Liberal professors like this guy should go back and read the history of China’s “Great Leap Forward”

Yes, Mao's red guards were formed from young people. They persecuted millions. This is where the US is heading. Too bad for those youngsters that old white guys own so many guns :)

If this guy teaches writing he needs to learn how to teach people to write things that will hold the readers’ attention. Very boring.

There are places like N Korea where nothing offensive is ever said publicly. And there are places like Zimbabwe where race trumps everything. Both are basket cases.

What’s a “Conservative Professor” ?

Someone who presents the truth without a political agenda and does not bend to the PC orthodoxy. Someone who rejects a Marxist/Post Modernist worldview

Liberal college professor reaping what he has sown. You know he was all behind creating a parade school children convinced they were owned entitlements and were all victims of something or other. Now the chickens have come home to roost and it scares him. Well, you made your bed Mr. Liberal bed-wetting commie college professor.

These liberal students scare you? They terrify me. They are tomorrow’s leaders and they are really going to screw up what is left of this nation after Obama is through with it.

Thanks for nothing pinko commie bed-wetting liberal schmuck. YOU CAUSED THIS you a-hole.

The left is “fascist”.

Excellent observation.
