Of course, the left doesn't have any issue with colleges being liberal indoctrination centers. Life skills are no longer the main focus. Students are taught to hate or even fear conservatives. They created safe spaces so students can avoid hearing any views that contradict what the professors preach. They offer therapy for those upset when a conservative speaker actually manages to get booked. Of course, the students protest any time someone with a differing view dares to visit. College professors are more open each year when it comes to their radical views.
Over the last few years, we've heard some pretty incredible and scary things uttered by college professors.
-Children belong to the state, not the parents, and the state should take the lead in molding them.
-They preach that whites are born racist and must spend their entire lives making amends.
-They allow students to skip tests so they may join in protests against Republicans.
-They treat any conservative view as hate speech. Graffiti supporting liberal views is considered art while Trump's name on a sidewalk was investigated as a hate crime.
-Several professors have been caught lying about being unfairly profiled and mistreated by police. Dash cams proved them to be liars.
-They created courses in white privilege and other mythical theories.
-They treat students like victims if the students were "exposed" to conservative views or the sight of a Confederate flag.
-One professor decided to let students choose which grade they feel they deserve. If they didn't agree with a grade, they simply had to tell him what grade they wanted and it was changed without question.
Of course, the indoctrination is starting earlier each year. Now the left is telling kindergarten students that they might not be boys or girls. They have 26 genders to choose from. They teach children to fear guns and want them to believe that gun owners, even their own parents, are dangerous and crazy. Socialism is taught in every class. They teach that Republicans are evil and that anyone who has more than others is greedy. They've stopped teaching cursive writing. Not all students are expected to learn English and now they are saying math is racist. Yes, liberal teachers claim that blacks just aren't as smart and that making them learn algebra is unfair. Colleges want to drop the math requirement.
They are slowly dumbing people down and focusing on creating a generation of insecure snowflakes who desire big government to care for them cradle to grave.
Combine the obvious indoctrination attempts with the increasing cost and it's no wonder some colleges are feeling the pinch of reduced enrollment.
"For a group of people seemingly obsessed about categories and invidious stereotypes, far too many professors traffic in the worst kinds of stereotypes about their critics. There are many North Carolina Republicans and conservatives who possess and value college degrees, cherish higher learning, and have proudly acquired and applied graduate training to successful careers in business, law, medicine, science, and education. While there have recently been some shifts in partisan allegiances among voters with varying levels of education, the gaps aren’t wide. According to the 2016 exit polls, for example, half of North Carolina voters had college degrees. They split their votes for president between Hillary Clinton (49 percent) and Donald Trump (48 percent). Even 44 percent of North Carolinians with graduate degrees picked Trump.
Being Republican or conservative, in other words, does not inherently breed a lack of respect for higher education as an institution. So what does?
When parents, donors, and taxpayers see conservative speakers on campus shouted down or assaulted, they worry. When they see public universities used as platforms for progressive political activism rather than legitimate educational or research activities, they seethe. When they compare the rising cost of college degrees against the value, either in the job market or in the intrinsic worth of what their children have learned, they recoil. When they see professors deny the legitimate authority of Republican lawmakers and duly appointed boards to provide governance to state agencies, they fume.
The message many Republicans and conservatives perceive from higher education sounds something like this: “Give us your children. Give us your money. Then, shut up.”
The answer is no."
Campuses shouldn’t breed contempt
