Texas A&M student Justino Russell wrote an awesome op-ed to rebut the anonymous cowardly professor.

The Battalion student newspaper must believe Biden is still commander in chief. Just proves Hegseth has much work still to do.

[Karliner]

Nice.
The downward slide and doubling down on Marxism/etc continues

[Texas Eagle]

Start your own student newspaper.

So they refused to publish it in a place no one will read it, and instead now it’s plastered all over every social media platform.

That’s some Wile E Coyote level backfiring.

We are forced to take pointless courses, buy outrageously expensive textbooks for information freely available online, and serve as a captive audience in a system where everyone—from publishers, administrators, and banks to professors like you—profits while we drown in debt.

I had a friend years ago who accepted a job writing science (chemistry and biology) textbooks for college students. He thought it would be fun and besides it was an early 'work for home' side project - and he was an' on sabbatical' professor. Anyhow what he discovered was the publisher wanted a rewrite of information from former books and the project ONLY was to force students to buy new textbooks rather than buying used textbooks. So he basically did a rewrite - and felt disgusted. He's been dead for many years but I suspect liberal 'elites' running our colleges haven't changed. And Larry Summers? He wanted Epstein to help him get a woman 'horizontal'... And that's a Harvard President - we can assume the rest are the same or worse.

Government funding or guaranteeing of student loans should never have happened. Just like Section 8 housing. Both only enrich the businesses and inflated the costs for everyone.

[Bullish]

Professors like the one he wrote this letter to are consumed with hatred of the Christian right. That hatred colors ever single ideology they demand allegiance to. Literally all of the progressive puritanism they endlessly push on their students is grounded in hatred of Christianity and seeks to tear it down and eliminate it from society.

We need to fight against these colleges and these horrible, monstrous ideologies. It’s a fight we better not lose, our kids futures depends on it.

[GOPJ]

Colleges should be guaranteeing half the loan amount of any students they accept.

They might be a little more selective about who they accept and what they teach. If it turned out ‘commie activists’ majors couldn’t get jobs and tended not to pay back their loans, they might decide to drop that major.

“PARTICIPATION TROPHIES” ARE ALSO A FACTOR, IMO.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

That’s a very well-written rebuttal. Kid is probably going places after that gets published.

[Callnote]

anyone surprised by this may not actually know why they think what they think much at all , probably...

[Socon-Econ]

That student newspaper had better not be operating on public funds.

[Robert DeLong]

Now this is a post that can easily be ignored. But you shouldn't

Beacuse it is one that shouuld be read by every Freeper that frwquwntss this board. Sadly, far too often I find that many of them are products of the educational system that Justino describes, amd they do not even see that they are.

I urge everyone to spend the few minutes it akes to read this very poignant, well developed piece for what it offers.

Thanks for posting.

Nobody forced those students.

That’s on them.

[TalBlack]

The first two paragraphs: You are profoundly detached from the real issues affecting us, our families, our country, and the world today.

We are the most depressed, anxious, suicidal, obese, addicted, and indebted generation in American history, and the first to be worse off than our parents. We are forced to take pointless courses, buy outrageously expensive textbooks for information freely available online, and serve as a captive audience in a system where everyone—from publishers, administrators, and banks to professors like you—profits while we drown in debt.

Talk about a truth bomb. No way they print this.

[Bikkuri]

Such a shame.
A&M used to be one of the most conservative universities.

[Tzimisce]

There is no left wing media bias.

If you racist, sexist, homophobic, hatefilled MAGA types were smarter, you’d know that.
