“...school is blocking students from taking his free speech course, lashed out at administrators for “violating” students’ rights.
Keith Fink told the College Fix that after a liberal shift in the school’s administration, some students were blocked from enrolling in his “Sex, Politics and Race” course. He said the class size has been restricted due to his conservative leanings.
“I go over principles that govern First Amendment free speech, due process rights and ‘kangaroo’ campus court proceedings,” he said, adding that he often uses UCLA as his example.
“They continuously and consistently trample students’ rights,” he said.
Fink, who is untenured, argued the school “sends emails that chill speech they don’t like” and punishes students who run afoul of the administration’s leftist ideology.
On the other hand, he said an obscene cartoon in a school publication, featuring Bibi Netanyahu with a large nose and the Commandments of “Thou Shalt Not Steal” and “Thou Shalt Not Murder” visible in the background, elicited no response from those same administrators...”
Instead of the Koch brothers and company blowing hundreds of millions of dollars per campaign season they should create a conservative university. There are tons of high quality conservative scholars black balled by the current environment available. Considering all the private liberal arts colleges struggling to attract students there are opportunities to buy existing campuses.
Political Correctness = Mind Slavery
one of these days people will figure out that government-run education is a bad idea
any day now
How about a state initiative to defund and privatize all colleges and universities at the state level here in California?
The modern day office is bad enough.
I cannot imagine having to work at one of these hell holes. Brain washed children and their slave masters all walking around in angry PC, triggered, liberal trances.
All my kids went to private Christian schools just for this reason. Our family is reaping the rewards now, all of them following Christ still. One of my sons decided to let the “corps” straighten him out after High School. It did.
Now he is finishing mechanical engineering degree and marrying great Christian girl.
That is a really good point.
Incredible how the left wing liberal nut jobs stole our nation’s education system from K all the way through Graduate School.
That has always angered me. They go for the minds of the weak, desperate, poor and the young.
Yes just like Trump’s idea with Planned Parenthood and PBS.
Now we are talking. This would force kids into schools with pro American and Pro Common sense agendas.
Affordable schools.
Interesting. I guess it’s a myth that professors can’t be fired.
Yet other professors can call for violence against the president and Republicans and that’s just fine.
That’s a great idea.
Honestly, half of the colleges and universities in the country could close their doors and we probably would be better off.
Higher education has become nothing more than a cash cow for Leftist professors and administrators.
Unless they’re tenured ...
What happened to "tenure"?
ML/NJ

Liberals have a very twisted mind they hate everything and want everyone to be like them just to feel they are right.
You did good with the kids they still must be alert to the many ways of the liberal works.
When LTG Leslie Groves was warned by his intelligence staff about recruiting scientists from universities for Manhattan Project assignments, he complained something to the effect of, “Where am I supposed to find scientists if not from the universities?”
Robert Oppenheimer, who headed up the scientists of the program at Groves behest, had been a lefty himself, but with no “official” attachment to any such cause. But his wife sure had.
Thanks for posting. I sent him a supportive email.
The big issue will be the accreditation bodies, which are control by Leftists. It doesn't matter if you open a conservative university, if your degrees are not recognized because your school is not accredited.
The Secretary of Education has some power over these groups, which is likely the real reason why Democrats tossed such a fit over Trump's pick.
Yes, the statists locked up higher ed with accreditation. And accreditation is a sure path to mediocrity.
Now that some states have laws requiring accreditation before an institution can call itself a college or university, there really needs to be an entirely different model.
