they have no ability to reason or persuade. their beliefs are not based on any sort of logic and lacking that they can’t hold up arguments to support them. Abortion is great because... women can be less resposible... so wait, you’re telling me that abortion is great because it lets women act like children... but children shouldn’t have sex, so wait.. um. See what i mean? Makes no sense. And they don’t even consider for a nanosecond that the primary reason not to have an abortion is that you are killing a baby. As science advances, year by year, its proven that life starts earlier and earlier that previously believed - but they don’t want to talk science unless its global warming... which lacks any science at all since NO ONE will reveal the formulae that they use to determine that its caused by mankind. Liberals\progressives are the ultimate in nonsensical beings.

My bet is she has been humiliated for losing arguments badly to students about these subjects and this is how she deals with it.

Yes all of their arguments must hit a brick wall at some point.

And that’s when the rage kicks in.

When will Iowa taxpayers prohibit their tax dollars from paying this asswipe?

Hey Chloe. Abortion is infanticide and BLM is a Marxist revolutionary organization dedicated to the destruction of the United States.

Go and reproduce asexually.

Big deal. She teaches two sections of English 250. So drop her class and enroll in one of the 61 other sections of English 250 being offered this semester.

Personally, if I was an ISU student and saw this description in the course catalog — “SEC 47 RESTRICTED TO COLLEGE OF HUMAN SCIENCES & COLLEGE OF LAS MAJORS ONLY. IS FOCUSED ON INTERSECTIONS OF GENDER, RACE, CLASS, SEXUALITIES.” — you couldn’t pay me to enroll in this yutz’s class.

I wonder how well a psychological dissection of fascistic authorities that cannot defend their viewpoint against other opinions, or who cannot keep from being triggered when someone disagrees with them, would be received by this professor.

She should already have been fired, IMHO.

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w
“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

Sorophobia: Differences Among Women in Literature and Culture..

In Sorophobia, Helena Michie argues that a feminism advocating “sisterhood” risks negating undeniable cultural differences that exist both among small communities of women and across nations. The book studies textual representations of women’s relationships to demonstrate the diversity and opposition along lines of race, class, and gender in seemingly homogenous sub-groups of feminist discourse. Michie addresses black women writers and lesbian and Victorian literature, as well as representations of women’s relationship my movies, music, and television. The book concludes with a chapter exploring the way scholars such as Gayatri Spivak have attempted to theorize identity and difference without reiterating the process of destructive “othering,” and Michie challenges feminists to continue the process of recognizing difference while refusing to re-create negative images of otherness.

“Any instances of othering … are grounds for dismissal from the classroom,”

she said, as she “othered” people that she disagrees with. Did she dismiss herself?

“Othering”. How did this person make it past 7th grade?

When I lived in Europe, back in the 1960s and '70s, Europeans, especially the intelligentsia, were fascinated by the American education system.

In contrast to traditional European systems, in which the professor lectured and the students listened without argument, in America, it was said, students are encouraged to challenge the professor, to think for themselves, to present alternate points of view.

The more the student argues with the professor and challenges him, it was said, the more it delights him: This brings fresh ideas, new ways of thinking, different viewpoints, novel solutions to problems. It encourages truth to emerge.

Fast forward to 2020: US schools, colleges, and universities are indoctrination centres. Deviation from the party line is not tolerated. Alternate viewpoints, ideas, solutions, and ways of thinking are ruthlessly suppressed. It is drilled into students that they cannot think for themselves and must accept the doctrine and dogma demanded by the professor.

What a difference a half century--and the Decadence of Western Civilisation--make.
