Economics professor says Wright State won't let him open class critical of Marxism to all students

An economics professor at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, says the school has repeatedly denied his request to teach an elective class critical of Marxism to the general student body.

"Clearly, it's all just censorship," Wright State economics professor Evan Osborne told Fox News. "I have proposed several electives. All have been approved, not going against the sacred beliefs of the radical wing of our department."

Only honors students will be allowed to take Osborne's class "Marxism: A History of Theory and Practice” despite his requests that it be opened to any student, The College Fix first reported.

He should package an online version of it. I'd pay a few bucks just so I can learn something to help me argue with demonrats.

Maybe a mini series on FOX, but Little Lachlan probably wouldn’t allow it.

I earned my MBA at Wright State (’87) and spent a few years as an Adjunct Professor in the WS Business School.

At the time, only 25% of Business schools in US were accredited...and WSU was one of them.

Outside the Business School, WSU has devolved into a VERY liberal/leftist university...and has now infected the business chool.

Just ask them to name a single country where Marxism has worked. (And, be prepared to point out that the Nordic countries have never been Marxist.)

Of course it’s censorship. You think academia wants students to hear the other side of how evil marxism really is? Just like the media, they have a big dog in this fight and he aint on our side.

Obviously at Wright State only honors students are smart enough to understand anything beyond “free stuff good”.

He should offer the course in a “free university” format in some off-campus venue. Market it as “the course the administration refuses to let you select.”

Most of the US universities have morphed from institutes of higher learning into socialists/communists propaganda centers. And the taxpayers are supporting much of this.

“Only honors students”

Let me guess — students who have been thoroughly indoctrinated in revolutionary theory.
