I have a tenured professor friend at the U of MN who just told me that his department (and ALL departments) are now setting up monthly meetings to deal with the "problem" of "whiteness" in the curricula and departmental policies. This "social justice" mentality is much more widespread than people outside of the academy realize. They are coming closer to complete censorship. Their totalitarian authoritarian impulses are now being unleashed as they sense that they can finally achieve their goal of total domination of the universities. This has already happened in the Humanities and most of the Social Sciences. Now it is spreading to ALL departments.

THE SJWs use the simple trick that if you even question their assertions, then that automatically means that you are a racist or a Nazi. It’s not “brilliant.” It is simply a matter of name-calling to shut down any criticism of their lame arguments. They use intimidation, shaming, smearing, and threats of violence to censor their opposition, and they continue to get away with it ONLY because they have a sympathetic press and sympathetic professors and college administrators. If a conservative tried to use these tactics, they would be severely castigated by the press and the academy.

“The number of classes in a university that are immune to this extremely broken way of thinking is ever smaller. And I think we can even see from here the day in which it will be no classes that are immune because every class is going to be subject to some set of rules that is built around this very naive notion of privilege and white supremacy and all of that. So that day is coming.”

Well, that was the communist John Dewey’s plan when he destroyed the Classical Christian curricula and replaced it with satanism/paganism/communism, etc. The Leviathan was completed with Common Core—the final nail was implemented years ago.

As Bertrand Russell knew and ex-KGB Yuri Bezmenov explained, after years of weaponized curricula where boys are girls and Vice is Virtue, the minds of children will be incapable of “free will” and will be so devoid of reason and logic (being human) that they will believe “snow is black” and evil is good and boys are girls, so ignorant of Natural law (our Constitution). Cognitive dissonance is all that will occur in their mushy minds when exposed to the truth (God) or facts.

Their minds were filled with lies and misinformation and warped revisionist history so hate is embedded and “thinking” is impossible. They were raised in controlled artificial institutions where they were separated from their Natural Family and natural surroundings, that which creates individualism and identity and the ability to think outside the box.

Didn’t the Chinese “cultural revolution,” and all the mayhem that came afterward, start with university students?

The roots of a genocide mindset has set in place amongst the left. They will eventually act on it.

My understating is that this Prof Weinstein is an accredited lib - ie, Dr. Frankenstein has figured out we’ve got a problem on our hands. Nice of him to finally notice.

Reserve government sponsored student loans for STEM students only.

Start using the DOJ civil rights commision to shut these people up.

My daughter is a junior in HS and she’s already been exposed to all that SJW garbage.

She’s so sick of it she doesn’t even want to go to college and might even enlist.

In fact, the arguments are easily done away with, but it means being politically incorrect to a great extreme.

I have easily sorted out huge numbers of SJWs across the web by simply beginning every conversation by attacking the “myth of black victimization,” with a strong focus on black crime, and how it compares to Hispanic crime, Asian crime, etc etc., and also the extreme levels of black on white crime, and how all of this is out of proportion with their population numbers by an extreme degree. Emphasis should be made on explicit examples, such as grannies getting gang raped by gangs, or people being burned alive. These are objective facts which they can’t deny.

In their attempts to explain them, the SJW can take you for a wild ride. I had one a few weeks ago essentially make the point that the reason why blacks have such an extreme crime rate, score low on school tests, and in general are utterly dysfunctional, but Hispanics and other non-whites are not, despite all living in an oppressive anti-minority system, is because they’ve been oppressed so badly since the days of slavery that dysfunction is practically transmitted in the genes!

The real key to defeating them is basically moving to a point psychologically where you don’t care how they freak out or call you racist. You ignore the statements and obscene, even violent behavior, and when you force them to deal with the facts outside of their abstract theories, you win the argument and gain support from normal people.

the goal is dominance and exclusion.

1. Demand for dominance/compliance (because of lack of safety/perceived threat). 2. Dominance exercised through the exclusion of perceived threat. 3. Non-compliance/questions trigger accusations, i.e. racism, sexism, etc. (the booby-trap). 4. Accusations become proof of lack of safety/threat. 5. Return to step 1 and repeat.

This is the core of the SJW movement.

>irst, he believes the social justice warriors are winning their battle to control campuses.

Since the SJWs are the school administration, it’s really not a hard victory to achieve. The kids are sheep, the people directing the sheep is the admin and teaching staff.

It appears as though there is a “red Guards” movement afoot on some campuses. Will we see liberal professors paraded through streets wearing dunce caps and confessing their political sins for the radicals? Time will tell.

Now it is spreading to ALL departments.

The keys are hiring and tenure. The activists define their disciplines in terms of their agenda and build the groupthink right into the position descriptions, course descriptions and stated academic qualifications for open positions. The goal is to make every department a closed shop.

Higher education has become a racket. It no longer educates, it only indoctrinated.

It appears that Hillsdale College and Liberty University are the only remaining institutions of higher education.

It is time to move engineering education to trade schools. A SJW engineer is a worthless degree.

Perhaps true “liberal arts” can become a subordinate part of a good trade school. But, “liberal arts” means the classics, true history and English. Psychology, Sociology and the rest of that drivel can be left in the ruins of the old colleges.

The only way to win this one is to remove the power of college degrees. We should move to a system of certifications, like computer certifications, such as MSCE, in every field.

Schools, such as Evergreen State College, have become “too stupid to survive”. It would be in their own interest to announce that no individual or group can prevent another person or group from exercising their 1st Amendment right of expression. To do so should result in immediate expulsion from the school.

Instead, the administrators of these schools are cowards, The SJWs know it, and freely push them around creating their own mini-version of the French Revolution Reign of Terror.

The result of allowing this uncivilized cancer to grow in these schools is declining enrollment and eventual financial failure and loss of accreditation. Ask University of Missouri.

And as a result American goes deeper and deeper into the cesspool of disaster.
