Live by the sword, die by the sword. It is just like in Islam. Once the Infidel has been killed, expelled, enslaved or reduced to Dhimmitude, they turn on each other.

My favorite old history professor was an LBJ type of liberal who warned us students every now and then that the United States would never go communist, but would turn fascist. He thought that the Reaganites and Jerry Falwell would lead the way to fascism. I think he had it right that the U.S. would turn fascist, he just had it coming from the wrong side. He passed away a few years ago and just wonder if he realized his error before he died.

GOOD LORD! I can not imagine sitting in this guy’s class. What a pompous, sanctimonious ass-clown! He’s complaining about the kind of thinking that he and his fellow liberals have been so tirelessly working to create. Have you ever heard, “you shall reap what you sow...”DUMBASS!!!!

If you aren’t allowed to say or do anything that will offend a liberal’s emotional well being, then it should also be demanded that you are not allowed to say or do anything that will offend a conservative’s emotional well being.

Just resign from teaching and go do something useful like flip hamburgers.

Well he can’t take responsibility for his actions and remain a liberal so... he wrote this instead figuring lots of large words would quell the thinking of his readers.

Standard lib ‘education’. Cast blame elsewhere and sound ‘outside and above’ it all..

And hope no one notices.

buyers remorse is a bitch. You buy into leftwing propaganda and you get the inevitable gulag conditions.

Fortunately, most of these professors are about to be outsourced to online classes.

“Can’t we see how it’s dangerous to reject centuries of established thought so blithely? Or how scary and extreme that makes us look to people who don’t already agree with us? “

_____________

Interesting, it is ok to reject centuries of established thought that you want to reject, prof, but not your sacred cow. You leftists started this ball rolling and now it is rolling over you.

I recently lost a faculty job when I was “Not Renewed” despite publishing more than the other members of my department and in more prestigious journals. I also had the highest overall student evaluations in my department. The tenure and reappointment committee recommended a new contract.

I received a two sentence letter “This is to inform you that your contract will not be renewed. Thank you for your service to the university”

At 54 this effectively retired me as I am too old to start another tenure track position.

Because I was simply not renewed rather than being fired I had no appeal, legal resource. I was simply given 30 days notice.

If this guy, who is a liberal professor is afraid, I’d ask him to think how the conservative professors feel.

I just love it when these ideological cartoonists get served a hot, steaming helping of the logical, predicted consequences of what they've spent their entire lives, advocating. Particularly when they find what's allowed them the latitude to advocate nonsense is the "system" they've spent entire careers drawing caricatures of.

I always made a good faith effort to include conservative narratives along with the liberal ones

I love how he admits that he teaches with a liberal narrative, and graciously throws a few bones to the conservative narrative to make him feel better about the absolute deception involved in his teaching.

I graduated in 83. I could not tell you the political ‘gender’ of most of the teachers I had. Some of them were likely flaming leftists. But it sever showed in their classes. The best teachers I ever had wouldn’t even discuss politics unless it was part of the class and even then they were as neutral as possible. And that was a mere 30ish years ago. Small towns haZ their advantages.

I would like to see the school in America that now applies to. I doubt one such place exists.

I have a hrad time feeling for liberals that feel out-libbed by hyper-lib students. They dreamed of 1984, now they have to live it and are the adults being screened by the brainwashed kids.

I am a conservative adjunct and liberal students terrify me too! Hypersensitive, illogical, brainwashed into believing government is the solution, suffering from cognitive dissonance and Dunning-Kruger, not knowing any history, drowning in debt, but high self esteem and overconfidence! Get ready for a new generation of goose stepping fascists like Obama!

I would bet good money that there is not one liberal in academia that could hold their own in a debate with the average Freeper. And that ESPECIALLY includes the most elite of the Ivy league.

I have a daughter going into her third year of college. The one thing I have learned is College is mostly a scam now. It is a mill to churn people through so they come out on the other end with a piece of paper which has not all that much to do with the recipient learning anything.

I still think their are legitimate disciplines being taught like engineering and medicine and science but even those have been corrupted in many schools. But the real shame is all of the nonsense degrees like "fill in the blank" studies and such that are nothing more than indoctrination vehicles that bolster the Religion of Socialist Government. I'd heard stories but when I spent time in the belly of the beast I realized we are doomed as a society and the only way out of this mess is to hunker down and wait for it to implode and then rebuild.
