"It’s a liberal profession it’s not rocket science. And what’s so nefarious about it"

What's nefarious, is that kids aren't educated, they're indoctrinated. They aren't taught how to think, they are taught what to think. What's nefarious about it, is that college students go berserk when a conservative speaker is invited to give a simple talk on campus. Instead of engaging the conservative speaker like a normal person, the college kids can't deal with it, they need a safe space to curl up into a ball and suck their thumbs. What's nefarious about it, is that conservative speakers are routinely mobbed off stage, rather than being given a chance to speak. It turns college kids into adults like you, who are physically incapable of processing anything that doesn't support the liberal narrative. What's nefarious about it, is that conservative students cannot possibly feel comfortable expressing their views in class, when their teacher says their views are as evil as Hitler.

I taught in public school Wayne, and was a student at three different colleges. I saw it.

I took a sociology class at UCONN, taught by a marxist female who hated everybody to the right of Bernie Sanders. She made us read a autobiography by convicted cop killer Abu Mumia Jamal, the whole autobiography was whiny rant about how the cops framed him. We had one courageous student in th eclass, who said to the teacher "you know, the widow of the cop he killed, also wrote a book, maybe we could read that book too, to get both sides of the event."

The teacher went berserk at the suggestion.

Again, that was one example, and one observation doesn't mean anything. But that stuff happens every single day, on every single campus.

Here's a study that suggests that democrats professors outnumber republican professors nine to one. 9 to 1. That's not an accident.

Liberals want diversity of everything, except of ideas.

Wow you really are drunk on the narrative they feed you. So the entire country’s education system is a giant liberal cult brainwashing the children. I guess these conservatives applying for these jobs aren’t that smart, or they would realize there are laws against discrimination of all kinds. Better spread the word Jim, all conservative families moving forward better home school, or run the risk of little Johnny or Nancy growing up liberal,?

No, but he watched CNN, and they didn't tell him that there's a liberal bias in academia, and that's good enough for him.

"So the entire country’s education system is a giant liberal cult brainwashing the children."

Pretty sure I didn't say that, but easier for you to respond to nonsensical gibberish that I never said, than it is for you to respond to what I actually said.

GS, when guest speakers at colleges are mobbed off the stage, how often are they liberal speakers who are hounded off the stage by conservative students? And how often are the conservative speakers hounded off the stage by liberal students?

That indoctrnation clearly worked on you, as you're one of the liberal always good, conservative always bad cultists.

"I guess these conservatives applying for these jobs aren’t that smart, or they would realize there are laws against discrimination of all kinds."

Please show us the law, which says it's illegal to discriminate against someone, based on their political ideology? How many conservatives host their own shows at CNN or MSNBC?

I was having a conversation with someone last night who is in education, talking about friends they have that are in doctoral programs moving through the system, getting papers published, how the entire system, despite what is claimed, is a complete racket, no diversity of thought, you either go along of you don't advance or life is made difficult for you...it's all ass kissing and towing the leftist line....which is what it is in many other endeavors but academia purports to be this open-minded, diverse culture of thought and opinion...it's as closed minded and narrowly authoritarian as anything else

college teaching is a HUGE racket. those folks make really good
money, and it’s usually a very very cushy assignment, most can’t conceive of working 2,000 hours in a year.

i played some tennis a few times with the chairman of the sociology department at wesleyan university in CT ( i was careful not to bring up politics, as i’d have zero in common with him, and he was a nice guy).

He told me that he can’t track his hours in a way that averages out to 30 hours a week. even adding in office hours, preparing lesson plans, teaching, grading papers, department meetings,he can’t get it to 30 hours a week. and that’s when school is in session, which is approximately 34 weeks each year. a big big reason why college costs so much.

whew. if a conservative was writing a sitcom about the downside of liberal indoctrination in academia, they couldn’t write a scene better than how that unfolded.

the kid had imperious righteousness, yet had zero ability to explain anything. that’s what happens what you’re taught what to think, not how to think?
