Have you ever wondered about the phrase "common sense"? Simply put, it's a rational way of thinking that comes naturally to all humans. It's an innately provided type of knowledge that is unspoken and unwritten. It's taken for granted. We acquire such reasoning imperceptibly from the day we are born. Such reasoning keeps us from even contemplating notions that violate our God-given ability to make prudent judgments. Contrarily, an irrational way of thinking might cause us to accept such statements as "my dog drove me to the supermarket" or "my mother is younger than I am."

There was a time when being rational was not only acceptable to civilized society, but required if you expected to be part of any serious discourse. Only about a decade ago, if you were chatting with friends at a social gathering and heard someone say there are more than two genders, and men can get pregnant, you'd probably start edging your way toward another part of the room. Moreover, you'd likely mention to the host that a strange guest has crashed the party. Fast-forward today, and not only would such comments be acceptable, but those who disagreed might be called ugly names, or worse.

Case in point: Students at the University of Southern Maine demanded that their education professor be fired because she told her class that there are only two sexes. Professor Christy Hammer made the very rational comment during a class on "creating a positive learning environment." Well, according to one student, Elizabeth Leibiger, who characterizes herself as non-binary, such a statement caused her to feel that she was "under personal attack." One wonders why the professor, who is among the 99.999% of the planet belonging to the binary world, didn't feel under personal attack from someone who may be dangerously deranged.

It didn't take long before 21 of the 22 students in her class, having been indoctrinated by left-wing dogma, which evidently robbed them of common sense, joined the "attack victim" by walking out during a class session and demanding that a "restorative justice meeting" be held with the university's School of Education and Human Development. In the category of "you can't make this stuff up," "student" Liebiger said "professor" Hammer is not qualified to teach positive learning environments.

“For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?”

A perfect example of the inmates running the asylum. Soon they’ll be de-institutionalized and out on the street, leaving piles of intellectual feces for us normies to step over.

Colleges are just indoctrination centers for the cult of leftism.

[MHGinTN]

The madness is spreading, for God gave them up to reprobate minds.

[Vision]

In a just world these students would be expelled.

[eyeamok]

This is really getting ridiculous, EXPEL Every last one of them

I would only recommend college to men who want to be Engineers, Doctors, Lawyers, or Military Officers.

I try to convey the importance and amount of future workload for trades.
Linemen, Electricians, Plumbers, HVAC, Crane Operators, etc.

I don’t know what to recommend to women, aside from don’t be a whore until your mid 30’s and expect to find a decent man.
Also, career accomplishments ring shallow in an empty home.
Boxed wine and cats don’t count.

A perfect example of indoctrination working exactly as planned.

The Dems are the original Nazi Party.

[jpp113]

Urban High Schools in all blue states and some red states are the first step in their indoctrination too. That crap must be stopped.

I think I would have to get crude with them: Everyone who has a D... stand over here. Everyone who has a P.... stand over there. That’s your sex. You can’t change that.

Now, if you want to say you are a D...less man go stand with the men but that doesn’t change your sex.

There are 2 sexes an a lot of mentally handicapped people.

[seowulf]

Back when I was in school I took a class in Logic and Argumentative. That there are two sexes is a result of Deductive Reasoning.

A. It requires a male and female to produce viable offspring.

B. Participation of any other sex besides male and female is not required to produce viable offspring.

Therefore:

C. There are two sexes: male and female.

Wokism is a new ideology

Either Stalin or Hitler or Pol Pot or Mao

Would have exterminated the woke

Especially over sex

Homosexuality was a bourgeoise luxury per Marx

To be eradicated
