I had watched several online courses from Berkeley, MIT, Yale and others. MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) were a great innovation, and seen as a possible way to reform college education. But now the SJWs have shut Berkeley down and I know that MIT and others in the past year have also reconsidered them because of the threat of lawsuits based on the ADA and deaf students not being able to understand the videos. Liberals ruin everything that they touch.

BUt that’s why I protest. Subtitles and transcripts help if I didn’t hear the lecture. I would say that a bigger argument could be made over copyright or that they shouldn’t be free. If anything, the MIT ones are the most basic courses. They aren’t enough to cover all the classes for a degree, pretty much just the 100s and maybe some 200s.
