I received a BA in Economics from Tufts University. I have a message to these snowflakes. Don't enroll in economics classes. There are plenty of [Blank] Studies and classes in Marxism you can enroll in instead. Money quote:

As a contrasting example, they cite the Economics Department at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, which employs “professors who focus on feminism and queerness in their economic research,

UMass Econ is notorious for being filled with Marxist professors. Perhaps that is the reason why the department is not respected in the field.

How much you want to bet not a single one of the current generation of econ graduates could define the difference between “supply and demand” and “quantity supplied and quantity demanded.”

Of course that makes them equal to 99.9999% of all legislators.

Everything the little snowflakes want to “redistribute” is produced by capitalism.

They don’t know that capitalism comes under liberalism.

I have one word for them.

China

If the last 20 years don’t reveal truth to these people, they’re hardly smart enough to breathe.

Personally, I reject the word “capitalism” as a construct straight out of Marx. I prefer the term “free enterprise” because it engages the concept that freedom is central to success in any economic enterprise. Lack of freedom and government control effectively throttle economic vitality. Thus, achieving Marx’s goal of extinguishing “capitalism.”

My first year Property Law professor made it very clear there would be no debating the institution of private property. We were there to learn the law.

Back in the ‘80s I recall hearing of a controversy at the Harvard Econ. Dept., where students wanted some sections of large courses to specialize in “radical economics.” i.e., you take a large lecture course in econ. but the weekly discussion section would focus upon “radical economics.”

At the time, at least, the Harvard econ. dept. said “no, we are here to learn about economics, period.”

Those students probably want to see a class that teaches how freedom of speech is bad for people, and where lack of freedoms is preferable.

IOW, a class about how wonderful life is in countries such as N. Korea and Venezuela and Cuba. Tufts University should have their economics class taught in N. Korea or Cuba or Venezuela, with required residency in those countries for at least 2 years.

why are they complaining about a class they’re likely not taking?

why are they attending a school they detest and are why aren’t they paying for it?

And, when did each individual opinion of a bully with ulterior motives become an actionable item on the slate of a knee-jerk university, whose actions accomplish nothing more than an increase in ‘fees’ for subsequent student bodies?
