Please tell me this is satire.

This is what America's colleges are becoming.

Correction, this is what America is becoming. Complete and total shutdown of opposing viewpoints is the Left's endgame.

Any parent who sends their kid to this university is an idiot.

Well, yeah, but, why would any college class need to discuss transgender ism for any reason.

Transgenderism has no basis in reality, only in the delusions of certain persons and the willing acceptance of those with little or no moral compass.

If this isn’t satire, this is true insanity.

The parents of the offended student should immediately stop paying tuition because he/she is certainly not getting an education or being taught to think critically.

This reads as if it came off the pages of The Onion. Sadly, it’s not. This reminds me. There’s a lot of phony praise among the libs today for young people being on the right side of the Brexit issue. Then I read crap like this and realize we have to protect these morons from themselves.

Mom and Dad take note. There’s still time to wise up before you write the check in August.

You’re better off taking that money to the track, frankly.

“This is what America’s colleges are becoming.”

This is what parents have allowed America’s college to become. Parents hear about these things, but don’t think of getting together to voice their complaints. The families should sue the university for false advertising; they are not running a university, which is supposed to be a place of free inquiry and discussion. The parents and the student afraid their student will be singled out and become a target of unfavorable grades, etc. Ditto for the high schools and elementary schools and preschools. A student putting his foot into university today is entering a circus arcade of mirror distortions. By the time he finishes, he thinks that those bizarre images and indoctrinations are gospel. If he has an inkling otherwise, he doesn’t dare say it.

Kind of a problem everywhere. Most kids seem to be this little spoiled snowflake who always got a “participation trophy” from people who push the “everyone’s-a-winner” theme of life. Well, sorry Snowflake, life’s not like that and the sooner you realize that fact, the sooner you’ll start to grow up and quit acting like a spoiled brat.

From the article: “I do not believe that students should be required to listen to their own rights and personhood debated,” the student wrote. “[This professor] should remove these topics from the list of debate topics. Debating the personhood of an entire minority demographic should not be a classroom exercise, as the classroom should not be an actively hostile space for people with underprivileged identities.”

Too bad the student is incapable of giving as much respect to others as she/he/it demands from them. And the university is controlling the thoughts of others by using force.

If you send your kids to State School or any other of 100s of private liberal arts schools you’re setting them up for failure. They will receive indoctrination. Whether they can endure it and come out decent people is a challenge. Their religion, values,and politics will be under constant assault.

Hillsdale, BYU, Liberty, Ave Maria, SVU, College of the ozarks, Pepperdine,Regent, Thomas Aquinas, Texas A&M. The list of schools that wont brainwash your kids and might actually teach them to have great minds is slim. There are a handful of others but this is the list my kids get. Outside of these you need to be studying a hard science, join the college republicans whether you are politically minded or not and go to a decent church on Sunday. You might survive a state school or ivy league with that formula.

This is real, this happens everywhere, and we see only a handful of reports that make their way out. Most times the professor is beaten down in private and never speaks up for fear of firing.

Most colleges are now under the control of a minority of hard left students and an enabling faculty. The faculty instructs the kids in the tactics to use—rat on teachers, shout down opposition, sit-in and mau mau the dean, etc.
Kids are not born knowing these commie tactics, they learn them from the profs.

The American University, in my opinion, is no longer close to being a place for acquiring the truth, it is about learning to hide and lie about the truth. This is all about shutting down speech and thus thought. It must be resisted by lawsuits and mocking at every turn.

Students today are too ignorant to know even what education is supposed to be about, let alone to learn anything through that education....
