“After 50 years of teaching at Harvard, I have never met a less courageous group of people than tenured faculty.”

[rktman]

Tenure=cushiness. Most times I don't care for dershowitz but once in a while something resembling sanity pops through. Looks like few of todays 'tenured' faculty have the sack to tell these ungrateful snots to either use the opportunity to learn and move ahead or be dismissed from the campus. I'm willing to bet that few of them (blmrs) have the slightest clue what hard times really are.

They’ve spent years in the luxury of freedom and sought only to teach division, dissatisfaction and diversity.

It now seems that the diversity they’ve fostered all these years has transitioned to “supremacy” and that is one monster that can’t be put back in the box.

Among other demands, Planet Princeton reported that students "called on the school to provide a dedicated space on campus for black students that is clearly marked."

How about a black drinking fountain? :)

Remember the Maoist revolution. The professors were sent off to scoop manure in the countryside (if they were lucky)........................

If they aren’t STEM faculty, they aren’t sh*t.

Sorry, wasn’t that way long ago, but ‘tis now.

South Africa created enormous safe spaces in a system they called Apartheid.

[Clioman]

I dunno — I rather enjoy watching the new jacobins devouring the hapless aristos who created them...

Peer review = peer pressure.

High school, extended. People caring what others think of them.

Obama’s czar of education has directed they teach a wide range of divisive subjects and traits starting with indoctrination of little boys to the gay ways and be all you can be-be a transgender plus the teaching of all kinds of division. Whites need to be taught a lesson for having had privilege. There is no doubt in my mind that real U.S. history is not being taught from the start as history would contradict the liberal/progressive lines of BS.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep. These students act exactly like the Red Guard.

This is very common in jobs with guaranteed employment for life (unless one is fired for cause); they often end up so detached from the real job market that they no longer have any value in the private sector, and have no choice to simply keep a low profile & muddle through. Their pay & benefits would be unattainable outside of that work, and they weigh losing their livelihoods with doing the right thing.

I have been reading Alan Dershowitz and about Alan Dershowitz for probably 40-50 years. As liberal as a liberal can be. However try as hard as I could to dislike him, I could not. I found the while I disagree with many of his positions, he was one of the few that did not resort to calling me and my kind, “Racist, Homophobic, Sexist and the like. He and Nate Hentoff are probably the only two I can say that of.

Changed teach to Preach~

They have spent years in the luxury of freedom and sought only to Preach division, dissatisfaction and diversity.

It now seems that the diversity, division, dissatisfaction they have fostered all these years has transitioned to supremacy and that is one monster that can not be put back in the box.

These liberal professors and universities have spent decades trying to weaken and destroy America. Their Karma has become a destructive Frankenstein Monster out of control and created by them, hell bent on destroying these left wing hell holes posing as institutions of higher learning.

There should be no tears if and when these liberal hell holes are destroyed by the evil Frankenstein spawn, they have created.

[Gaffer]

They have worked years to change things. However, what they have changes is their campus into “Lord of the Flies.”

[rbg81]

And separate rest rooms?

I will always hold a grudge against Dershowitz for defending OJ Simpson. Everyone on Simpson’s defense team must have realized how guilty he was. They got him off not for reasons of justice, but to prove what great lawyers they were. Guess that is the nature of the profession, which makes me glad I never chose it.

The colleges and universities are becoming similar to Hitler’s Nazi youth camps. Brainwashed and programmed.

[rktman]

Starts in kiddie garten these days with enviro themed people kill the erf crap.

[FlingWingFlyer]

You’ve got that right. Brainwash them while they are young.

What’s funny is that —from what I have seen — when the students smell the blood in the water, they usually go after that appeasing sort of liberal professor for some minor transgression/not being liberal enough. A staunch conservative who makes no apologies and gives no quarter is usually completely avoided as “too tough a nut to crack.”
