Three sections of linear algebra? By one instructor? I’m guessing it was pretty watered down.

The problem in America is .... too many government indoctrinated (where did they become THAT, I wonder) ... people have become embedded into the fabric of our culture and it will take a drastic sweeping of our lives .... friends, neighbors, employers, politicians and a ton of peripheral et cetera's, to become clean of this evil.


"All that Hiers did after reading the flier was to write on the chalkboard, “Please don’t leave garbage lying around,” with an arrow pointing to the stack of them. He couldn’t imagine the trouble his jest would cause him."

I'd suggest that the lesson plans for Linear Algebra rarely need to be updated based on current events or new discoveries in the field.

Ironic, is it not, that one of the few remaining true academic areas in our formerly respected universities is being negatively affected by folks who deserve no respect whatsoever.

I really think that the STEM departments should pull a UK and split from the the the IU (Idiot’s Union) which currently infects our universities.

Even my esteemed graduate university is thoroughly infected by these folks who wouldn’t even have qualified as janitors years back.

Hopefully, the humanities departments will wake up and do a thorough cleaning and disinfecting and return to their former position of respect.

“adjunct faculty member”

Your job’s on the line right there.

“the myth of meritocracy”

Don’t you go to college to improve yourself? Gain knowledge? Increase your “merit”?

I would fail so hard in todays university setting.

I’m heartened to read that this guy didn’t apologize and is fighting back.

The left are very bad people, just as you wouldn’t see a movie today sympathetic to the nazis. The left are today’s nazis. When they can, they will kill dissenters.

It was a passive aggressive move of microaggression by a Leftist to place those tracts in the lounge.

Why? They would all be the same curriculum. Prepare once, teach three times.

Wonder what the snowflakes think about microaggressions now that a true killer aggression in the form of Wuhan virus has happened?

Always have, always will. They have mass-murdered more people in the last 100 years than have died in all wars combined. Leftists in power are second only to disease as the leading cause of death in the 20th Century.

I see them on socialist networking media browbeating anyone who questions the extended lockdown and continued kicking the can.

And they wish death on those who dissent.

I think describing Hiers’s opinion as “stupid” would be considered a really big micro-aggression.

I have no doubt there are many of today’s Left who would ship us to re-education camp just for posting on Free Republic.

Not getting on that bus. Not giving up the weapons.

Schmidt said that he decided to fire Hiers because he refused to recant his opposition to the microaggression idea.

He has good company on recantation...

For a long time, I thought this staggeringly stupid bosh would never penetrate the math, engineering, chemistry and physics departments or the medical schools. I am so disappointed that they did not resist. It always starts simple and quickly escalates until it jeopardizes the very foundation of science and math and ultimately leads to death and destruction.

I was referring to demand, not supply.
