Teaching Tolerance

Town Hall ^ | 9 Aug 2016 | Mike Adams

Author’s Note: The following is my planned class introduction for all three of my courses this fall semester at The University of North Carolina – Wilmington. My first-day-of-class remarks are reproduced here for your reading pleasure. It is not a word for word reproduction. But it’s pretty close. So enjoy!

Welcome back to another semester at UNCW! I am excited to have each and every one of you in my class. However, some of you may not be excited to have me as a professor. Each semester, I get at least one bad teaching evaluation from a student who never heard of me before enrolling in the class. Usually the student is a “progressive” who later finds out who I am and then wants to drop the class because he/she/undecided lacks the requisite tolerance to be in the presence of someone who holds different ideas. Since this discovery is often made after the drop date has passed, the student cannot get out of the class. Being stuck with a single non-leftist professor is just too much for them to handle both emotionally and intellectually.

Although I will not be discussing my political views in class, I thought I would just give you all a basic run-down of all things these thin-skinned leftists support that I don’t believe in – just in case you are one of them and simply cannot bear the thought of having even a single conservative professor in college. If your view of tolerance causes you to be intolerant of any of the views I express then feel free to go pick up a drop slip. I would not want to force you to stay in my class any more than I would try to force you to bake a cake for my wedding.

Thanks for posting! I love his columns. Wish I could take one of his classes.

As I read on a blog, the opposite of “diversity” is “university”.

[tuffydoodle]

Excellent article. Thanks for posting.

With libtards NOTHING is what the word actually means. Hence, “Affordable Healthcare” Act. “Common sense gun control”. “Climate Legislation”.

I think Mr. Trump is heading down to NC and the campus to speak today.

Last night we happened to see a show about tolerance that was excellent. It was Ravi Zacharias speaking at UCLA and one of his “Let My People Think” episodes. Title, “Is Tolerance Intolerant?”

I have been following Mike Adams for years. He is great. Tells it just like it is. I wish I could take one of his classes just to see the looks on the faces of snowflakes who didn’t realize (as he says) that they are NOT signed up with one of their typical leftist bigots.

Love it! Thanks for posting, Rummyfan!!!

Good essay until the last sentence.

It is impossible to have a religiously, politically, or culturally neutral education either in content or consequences. Adam’s class isn’t neutral either.

For this reason there should be complete separation of school and state.

That will surely make the lefties' heads explode...

Hah! Almost scooted by this thread when I saw “Teaching Tolerance”.

But then realized it’s Mike Adams.

[Republicanprofessor]

Thank you. Loved this!

All liberals should take a class in tolerance.

Someone mentioned Wilmington and Trump this morning on Fox and Friends and I thought to myself isn’t that where Dr Adams teaches?

Tolerance is one of the most often misused words in the language. To me, when you tolerate something, you don’t approve of it but you leave it alone. That is usually because though it annoys you it does not materially affect your well-being, or the well-being of others.

But some things are intolerable. Murder, rape, child molestation, gratuitous violence, slavery, etc. are among them. In other words, Islam is intolerable.

Taking from the producers to give to the indigent should be perceived the same way, yet the left strongly favors it. Therefore the left is intolerable.

Yet we foolishly allow both to exist.

Tolerance isn’t enough, we have to celebrate it.

And, of course, we see in the Bible that Jesus told us to “tolerate” the idolatry and fornication of the Judaizers.
Wait!
What? Where do we see “tolerate” in the Bible?

"If you ever find yourself in need of a safe space then you’re probably going to have to stop calling yourself a social justice warrior. You cannot be a warrior and a pansy at the same time."

This cracked me up!
