Sometimes it seems as if "diversity" is going to replace "the" as the most often used word in the English language. Yet the place where this word has become a holy grail

There is so much truth to this that it is not even funny.

It's simple, just ask a Lib teacher 'Hey, do you believe all men are created equal?' then just stand back and watch the drivel. They hate America and they are glad 5000 of our citizens are dead, college 'professors' have been calling for such attacks for years saying 'America is a colonialist, racist, sexist, blah blah' ad naseum; Libs oughtta be arrested but we still just let them sit there and sneer at us. Not me, I'm IN THEIR FACE.

In one of my college classes I had to write a history paper with the theme of "Women's studies". So I decided to write it about the most powerful woman of the 20th century - Margaret Thatcher. My feminazi teacher had a fit and forced me to write about Anne Richards. I tried, but had to drop out of the class because I could not take all the nonsense.

Just remember about the hypocrisy of the left, that inside the lie that is "diversity" there is only one standard - the enforced leftist orthodoxy of academia.

On thursday my professor gushed about the 'changes in teaching since Colonial studies was implemented 20 years ago', I was shocked and I asked her if she believes the paradigm that America is a racist, sexist nation etc..., she said 'we could sit down and talk about that sometime' ie 'Ouch'. This stuff is in the pike and it's coming, we'll hear plenty more in the future. I'm struggling to keep my composure, but I managed to challenge her (i know a little about Colonialism) and managed to say the words '2nd Amendment' very loud in class. They thought I was from Mars lol. Your bud,

As a professor, let me counsel you to RUN, not WALK, to DROP that course. You will get a lousy grade no matter how well you perform. This is what the liberal left has done to academia.

JH2, GOOD example!! Sowell at his best. What passes for education today is EVIL!! And, it begins in our institutions of higher learning. Peace and love, George.

I have had very few professors that are open minded about opposing points of view. I remember one poly sci teacher who was so and recognized that I had written one of my papers to please him, but he told me to do it again and write what I think. He gave me an "A" in the class and admitted that I made good cases for my arguments. That is one of the few exceptions.

I remeber once that I had to retake a philosophy class to get one of my degrees (new standards) and in once of the class discussions the professor was shocked when so many people were for second amendment rights. Almost every "class discussion" she had turned into a leftist rant by her on whatever topic. Of course, you notice that this had nothing to do with philosophy at all, but the professor felt that her classroom was the place for her to spout her own agenda. Of course, she totally OMITTED the atrocities of communism when she spoke of Marx other commie writers.

Just remember - there is a reason that they speak to a class of 20 and Rush Limbaugh has an audience of 20 million.
