Academia Embarrasses Itself...Again - College campuses are catnip for crazies.

Over at Twitchy, a publication that curates the news in funny yet insightful ways, a headline reads, “Head of Medical School Tells Congresswoman the Vast Majority of Pregnancies Occur in Women.” Sure enough, Twitchy is telling the truth.

During witness testimony before a congressional committee examining the impact of forced “diversity,” preferential (non-merit-based) admissions, and “woke” ideology upon the quality of medical schools, the chancellor of UC San Francisco testified under oath that not all pregnancies come from women. That chancellor, Samuel Hawgood, is not some administrative bureaucrat with a made-up bachelor’s degree in the discriminatory effects of man-made “climate change” upon “transgender” Pakistanis (and an obligatory master’s in why American taxpayers must foot the bill for all “sex change” surgeries around the world). No, Hawgood is an actual pediatrician who previously served as UCSF’s dean of the School of Medicine. A man who did his residency at the Royal Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Brisbane cannot tell us how babies are made.

It is astounding to watch just how far down the propaganda rabbit hole so-called “institutions of higher learning” have dragged society. Until very recently, this kind of public display of sophistry would have embarrassed an intellectual of the lowest order. For a medical doctor and university chancellor to pretend that men can get pregnant is a flashing neon sign warning just how corrupt and dishonest all of academia has become. These days, university leaders sound indistinguishable from North Korean spokespeople assuring starving citizens that they are better off than anyone else in the world.

How did we get to this point in time when professors tell rank lies to the American people, while hiding behind their titles as false evidence that those lies are somehow “truths”? Well, social media favorite “Oilfield Rando” points to

Proof that leftism is a mental disorder.

I think that over 80% of the people in the education industry (academics, administrators, teachers, etc.) should not be allowed near children or young adults.

I don’t exactly know how young people ought to learn things (homeschooling with their parents would be an improvement) but these jokers should not be involved.

Does vast majority encompass all or 100%?

[Ken H]

They’re neither embarrassed nor crazy. They are pursuing an agenda - the destruction of Western civilization.

“Head of Medical School Tells Congresswoman the Vast Majority of Pregnancies Occur in Women.”

The medical industry should come up with a technical term to refer to people who have, or have had, the innate potential to conceive and bear children. It would be professionally useful. Keep it short and simple, maybe two syllables. Make it rhyme with “women”. Just a suggestion.

[SMARTY]

"...Vast Majority of Pregnancies Occur in Women..."

Sounds like his way of admitting that men can't have babies

[Tell It Right]

Agreed. And they are also pursuing government money. As long as “education” is paid for by govt, the left will keep using govt money to dumb down the masses in the name of “education”.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Catnip for Crazies. Excellent. “Colleges and Universities” are a forkin’ joke with extremely retarded “perfesers”.

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOW, LOW I.Q. “perfesers”.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Well, maybe women aren't the only ones who get pregnant.

[nwrep]

She looks hot.

[LouAvul]

I saw that confrontation. The med school fool had a sheepish look on his face and knew his position did not hold water. Liberals are a combination of mental illness and cowardice. Loathsome excuses for humanity.

I disagree. See post #5 => https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4388289/posts?page=5#5

The look and demeanor that this guy was wearing as he testified was that of someone who had been brainwashed and was being tortured. He looked small. Small of stature and small minded.

By first brainwashing with the absurd lie of

” First there was nothing, then nothing exploded, and became everything “

It’s like short circuiting a CPU.

[spintreebob]

“pretend that men can get pregnant”

Ahh, how innocent is the author. Clearly the intent is that LESBIANS and other non-women can and do get pregnant. But not very often and it is mostly unliberated women who get pregnant.

O’Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended.
“How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?"
“Four.”
“And if the Party says that it is not four but five – then how many?”
“Four.”
The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston’s body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O’Brien watched him, the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever.
