Report from Young America’s Foundation, The leading conservative youth organization, looked at some 50 top colleges and found 250 examples of courses that question conservatism and Trump.
Beyond the inane, identity- and intersectionality-obsessed topics, these classes advance a liberal agenda, malign conservatives and their values, and shut out ideological diversity,” said YAF spokesman Spencer Brown, author of the 25th annual Comedy and Tragedy Report.
The reports on the courses, he said in a release, “peel back the shiny veneer colleges and universities place on themselves in the name of ‘higher’ education to reveal a stark reality: campuses devoid of intellectual diversity populated with leftist professors, faculty, and administrators intent on indoctrinating the rising generation in the ways of the left.”

And good for that college!
Thanks for the links.
Are they well paid? Are they good enough at what they do to deserve that pay? In otherwords, are they earning their keep in spite of their useless education? Or, did they get some overpaid sweetheart deal through connections?
Key word here may be "princelings". Are the two kids you've met children of elites?
In lots of organizations, the key question about a potential new hire is not "is he competent?", or "is he smart?", but rather "can I trust him to follow my agenda, come what may?". In other words, "will he be a reliable member of the team?"
Yes. But we may finally have caught the break we need with President Trump, rejecting the PC strictures which were inhibiting reasoned debate in Academia.
It’s a private, Christian university. All the good schools here are private and Christian. The public schools are abysmal beyond description. But I’ll be damned if I’ll pay more in property taxes as my liberal neighbor keeps proposing.
A major problem is that far too many supposed Conservative parents and grandparents have abrogated their responsibilities and have not/are not raising the next generation to know the truth!
I just hope that your new town and insane neighbors don't pull what they do here. When a budget gets voted down here, they just keep bringing it to vote again and again and AGAIN, until fewer and fewer people turn out to vote and they get it passed. This, needless to say, drives us CRAZY and we always keep going to vote, but it gets tiring and others don't.
Wall Street....NO; private Hedge fund companies...YES, probably the connection thing.
It’s almost exclusively Republican here but my next door neighbor is a Canadian married to a local. You know Canadians.
Yes, I do understand what you've inferred.
Is your husband thinking about teaching a course?
The Dartmouth course does not seem bad or anti-Trump, at least it sounds like a legitimate angle of inquiry...
No! More like taking the course. I don’t know how expensive it would be. He studies Greek history and has a real appetite for the “great books” that are being taught at Faulkner.
Line from a father :
Have my kid go to an expensive university to be taught anti-American lies by a beatnik professor? Not on my dime.”
Oh, I see.
Personally, if they are going to call you a racist, and they believe your a racist, act like one. Get the FBI to raid thei houses and throw them in jail for no real crimes. Mueller is a pro at it, yet it’s Trump that’s the facist
yes....and they think they're SMART because it cost them so much to be indoctrinated into uncritical thinking....
I think we have a cadre of FReepers who have been taking these courses....and liking them.
