My daughter is attended Duke in Fall. Have told her to keep her head down and not talk politics. If anyone asks, to say she is an Independent and not interested in politics.

It's a sign of the times.

The Media, Educational system, and entertainment industry all run by Communists.

I disagree.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all that are in the house.

He’s saying all those touchy-feely classes are mostly a bunch a B.S., and he’s right. Some folks can’t handle the truth.

I'll bet that doesn't work. The attitude is "if you're not with us, you're against us". I would be willing to bet that there's no safety in neutrality.

so he was blatantly discriminated against for his political beliefs- isn’t there a law against such discrimination?

I agree. Professors target conservatives for verbal harassment and bad grades.

Fellow students target them for bullying and complaints.

No minds or hearts are changed with the fascist left. Best to not engage.

You’re sending your daughter to Duke? Why? By doing that - you show your SUPPORT for liberal demented education.

And don’t be surprised when your daughter drinks enough of the Kool-Aid they serve and becomes like them.

Not trying to be insulting here, but really! Please rethink. I might rethink this if a full ride was on the table. Maybe.

If I was in college today I’d wear a BLM shirt and be an outspoken Trump supporter. Nobody would be able to figure me out.

In Indonesia, they put you in jail for thought crimes. In the U.S., the communists are now showing their colors. What the muslims and the communists share is worship of power. The battle is upon us.

An institution like that will almost certainly impart at least some of its values and beliefs into your daughter. This could cause far more damage to her in the long life than the prestige and 5% higher starting salary a Duke diploma could bring. There is still plenty of time to find a better university. Her values will be worth far more than her knowledge.

As a theology professor, you would have thought that he realized that the way to tell the god of any system is to discover what cannot be criticized. In the “intellectually flaccid” university system, the god that is worshipped is diversity whose greatness is exclaimed over and over and no dissension is allowed. Even less than glowingly enthusiastic support of diversity is deemed dissension.

“resigned “
Was forced out. This is the New USA - a country in which you lose your job for your opinions.

"Griffiths characterized these punishments as “reprisals” for his willingness to voice criticism, designed not to engage the points he made “but rather to discipline me for having expressed them.”

This smacks of social engineering...diversity training.
