We will not, at any time, debate the science of climate change’

Three professors co-teaching an online course called “Medical Humanities in the Digital Age” at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs recently told their students via email that man-made climate change is not open for debate, and those who think otherwise have no place in their course.

“The point of departure for this course is based on the scientific premise that human induced climate change is valid and occurring. We will not, at any time, debate the science of climate change, nor will the ‘other side’ of the climate change debate be taught or discussed in this course,” states the email, a copy of which was provided to The College Fix by a student in the course.

Signed by the course’s professors Rebecca Laroche, Wendy Haggren and Eileen Skahill,

The professors also note this ban on debate extends to discussion among students in the online forums

online forums? lol.

### em.

I had a college teacher when I took some masters courses in psych that the prerequisite was not believing in God.

He said to leave now if you do.

Told him I did and i’m staying.

Religion is for believers.

These women are Believers.

They do not want their religious beliefs challenged.

It is never useful to argue with someone’s religious beliefs.

Try that in a state school with a course on the “Holy Bible as Truth” being the departure point not open for discussion.

The State Schools ARE religious schools, and AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming) is their religion.

Which is why those “professors” could not pass the Physics 101 classes in the building next door.

Note the toy title of their course.

What does the cause of climate change have to do with “medical humanities”?

Sounds unlawful to me. But, who’d want to be in one of their classes if they are so dogmatic?

The University of Colorado needs to get rid of their fascist "professors" or close down and send everyone home.

They should have their tenure revoked, immediately.

This looks like a class not worth taking. He’s doing the students a favor.

It’s probably good advice. If you’re gonna take a class and dispute the professor’s entire premise you are going to flunk anyway. Best thing to do is ace the course and tell them after the grade is given how full of excrement they are.

These three—Rebecca Laroche, Wendy Haggren and Eileen Skahill—should be fired. Incredible that any school allows such open bias and ignorance among their faculty.

“We will not, at any time, debate the science of climate change.” This is kinda the lyin’ king and his ilks tune. It’s settled, shut up and sit down. We’re right and you have no opinion. Typical of the radical left wing liberal, America hating, extremists who want to control every aspect of your life. If the let you have a life that is.
