New Video Shows University Of Oklahoma Faculty Teaching How To Silence And Punish ‘Problematic’ Conservatives

'In the classroom, free speech does not apply,' a workshop spokeswoman said. 'As instructors, we can tell our students no, you do not have the right to say that, stop talking right now.'

According to newly released video footage, University of Oklahoma instructors want to punish students who defy campus orthodoxy. Their plan is to “avoid ‘a rhetoric of dysfunctional silence’ that closes ears to marginalized voices,” by — you guessed it — silencing marginalized voices.

On Tuesday, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), a nonprofit focused on protecting campus free speech, publicized video footage of an April 14 workshop on “Anti-Racist Rhetoric & Pedagogies” at the University of Oklahoma (OU). The workshop’s leaders presented slides about “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” and “subverting white institutional defensiveness.” In an attempt to teach so-called antiracism, the workshop’s leaders also promoted censorship and indoctrination.

The event was “one of nine professional development workshops for instructors and grad students” at OU. During the workshop, three faculty members taught their colleagues “how to foster an anti-racist environment in their classrooms,” brainstorming tactics for dissuading, censoring, and penalizing “problematic” speech.

“As instructors, we can tell our students no, you do not have the right to say that, stop talking right now.”

This is not entirely false. It is perfectly legit for an instructor to tell a student to be quiet, especially if they are disrespectful or disruptive. It is also borderline okay if you cut them off because you have to move on to the next topic.

But it is wrong when you silence them for answering a legitimate question you posed. It is also to give them an F because you they are doing what you told them to do, but you don’t like their answer (it’s not wrong, you just disagree with their viewpoint). And, obviously, wrong if you humiliate or shame them, especially for expressing “traditional” views.

Timely cartoon.

Thank you for that.

Isn’t it an opinion as to what is “problematic” speech? Each side needs equal time.

My nephew went to college and after one semester decided it was not for him and went to
work in the oil patch.

He is a lot happier, learning a useful skill,
(he is a welder) and does not have to put up with bigotry and nonsense from the left.

(And I have a strong feeling that there are not that many leftists working in the oil field.)

OU, for all it is worth and that is very little, needs to be defunded. It is a worthless cesspool polluting the South Canadian River as it flows by Norman.

You forgot the football team; matter of fact does the football program still have an academic relationship?
