People who actually suffered under Mao,Stalin and Chubby in No Korea have been coming out and stating that this is exactly what is happening on campuses all over. One Speak  or you face failing a course or the Academic brown shirts write letters asking for your firing.
The greatest impediment to understanding is the belief that the position you hold is universal - Nietsche

Universities used to be bastions of free speach and discussions among diverse thought . Sadly no longer

I very much doubt people who suffered under Mao, Stalin and the Dear Leaders of North Korea have said anything of the sort, and if they are, they're morons ... as is anyone who would take such a remark seriously.
Nobody is being sent to the Gulag. Nobody is being murdered on the quad for their opinions. Nobody is being sent to forced labor camps.
Any such suggestion is pure idiocy.
But keep playing the victim.

Pre-born or post-born Hitler?

Teaching facts is not indoctrination.  I would not consider a flat earthen a worthy science teacher.  I don't want a holocaust denier as a history teacher.   If you think that makes me closed minded.... thank you.

Agreed 100%. I'll also note, that not only is it not indoctrination, but the high school and college aged kids actually would prefer for education to be far far far more liberal than it is.

It is the parents that view teaching facts indoctrination, the kids want things more liberal than they are if anything.

The weaponization of Karen-ism.

the minimization and the projection here is overwhelming.  i haven't seen many (none) of the college speeches nor commencement speakers from the left being protested and/or rescinded.  i'm sure you guys might find 1 or 2, but compare this to essentially all of those with a sniff of right wing pollys.

  tower you speak of "karen's" and "snowflakes" often, but put a decent conservative speaker on a college campus and the lefties hair goes on fire.  remember when you know who was elected and schools had to cancel tests, bring in llamas and gerbils to calm them down? 

and these aren't all students reactions, but teachers and admin alike

'Decent conservative speaker'

I think the vast majority of campuses would invite one if they could find one.   Sadly, intellectual conservative thought has become an oxymoron.

Why won't they invite Dan Bongino or Charlie Kirk, the voices of conservatism?

Conservatives don't like a class, they organize hate doxing of a professor.       

Which seems somewhat familiar.....

Invite Kristina Karamo (head of the Michigan Republican Party) to MU to discuss her theory that demonic possession is passed from person to person through sexual contact.    But who should she debate?    A scientist?    A theologian?    An exorcist?

That is hilarious. The conservatives ran that process to the letter of the liberal playbook to shut down free speech.

People need to grow up, let people speak, and choose to listen or not listen. The hate and vitriol from both sides is sickening.

Of course you're right, but "liberal" thinkers like Tower have decided that there are no Conservatives who deserve a place in any debate so it's a grand idea to shut them out. Of course any truly liberal thinker would vomit at such an idea but when one side pretty much takes over it's what can happen - phony liberals become authoritarians.

ROCKET: It was a good week for the United States Constitution and for the justice system.   
And as long as people like Justices Alito and Thomas remain stewards of that system, the Marxists can be held off from taking control of all of our institutions, at least for a little while longer.

  right on richard, but note, our constitution is only under attack and the supreme court is activist only when they come out with decisions they don't agree with.  pack em up until ya get what ya want??


book banning?  umm, yeah,  catcher in the rye and huck finn vs gender queer...tough calls??  half the kids can't read anyway, so no harm no foul, eyn'a??

This has to be irony right?

Anyway, if you think college's and university's are brainwashing the youth of America, wait until I tell you about what conservative media is doing to the Boomers.

[tower912]

So, regarding the lack of conservative thought....

Name one item from the 2020 national GOP platform.  (Hint: trick question)

Name the last GOP policy initiative to move the country forward that wasn't just rebranded tax cuts for the rich.  One that moved all people forward.

What are rhe GOP policy initiatives going forward?   Keep young people from voting?  Make discrimination great again?   F Biden and anyone who voted for him?

I miss intellectual discussions with conservative friends and colleagues about tax policy, productive education reforms, limited foreign entanglements, how should we best contain Russia, how government can best be used to make the country better, or not.   

Ironically, Trump is afraid to campaign on his greatest (IMO) accomplishment.   Operation Warp Speed ultimately saved a million lives.  He gets booed.    And that, to me, as much as anything, encapsulates what currently passes for conservative thought.

[The Sultan]

And they just label people who disagree with them as "woke" or "Marxists." Two words that have lost all semblance of meaning.

Liz Cheney, who for years was one of the most reliably conservative votes in the House, was canceled because she refused to bend the knee to the indicted, impeached, adulterous leader of the "law and order" and "family values" party.

Yes, unironically the Ds are more supportive of law and order and family values at this point in history.

Your ilk will age out of existence soon enough and your backwards thought will go along with.

Good riddance to most of you.
