Professor calls universities the ‘gravest internal threat’ to U.S.

[JakeStarkey]

night_son really has no idea what he means by "Moorish Utopian and Marxian political ideological rebellion. . . " He may well be modeling himself on Mike T. Griffith and Edward T. Baiamonte's theory of capitalism and inerrant Christianity. But leave him to it. Higher Education may help him through the throes of his sophomoric intellectualism.

Apparently, the best way to hide Jesus from Christians is to quote him in the Bible then highlight it in red.

At least @ JakeStarkey is a valuable, and worthwhile opponent.

With another liberal nerve twanged as evidenced by Starkey's admirable enough ripostes, I rest firmly on my previous statements. Jake would have America "progressed" farther into a new Age of unrestricted freedom without personal or social or governmental responsibility. Whereas night_son and the rest of the good guys seek to hold the traditional line across all fronts. Starkey wants to be the Night King, when he's really just a supporting actor. No worries, Jake--we'll all chip in to buy you the action figure. Your American cultural wiinter is farther off than you think.

The part of this discussion regarding Christianity is ridiculous. There is no single Christian philosophy. Christianity is a very loosely knit group of various denominations, sects, cults, and whatever else. Christians cannot agree on whether it's raining (not that the other religions can, either).

It would make more sense for students to take a religious survey course that covers all the major religions. It is amazing how many Americans are completely ignorant of the scope of religious thought and practice among the world's religions. One sees this ignorance displayed on USMB every day.

Jason Hill, DePaul professor, slams liberal colleges as ‘gravest internal threat to this country’
Professor calls universities the ‘gravest internal threat’ to U.S.

Quote:

"Jason Hill, who teaches at Chicago’s private DePaul University, blasted universities in a hard-hitting op-ed earlier this month as “propaganda machines” that indoctrinate students to reject Western culture.

“The core principles and foundations that keep the United States intact, that provide our citizens with their civic personalities and national identities, are being annihilated,” wrote Hill.

“The gravest internal threat to this country is not illegal aliens; it is leftist professors who are waging a war against America and teaching our young people to hate this country.”"

And quote:

"Moreover, “today’s scholars in humanities and social sciences increasingly declare that modern argumentation is a white, Western form of domination and linguistic imperialism that silences racial and ethnic minorities and devalues their ‘lived experiences,’” Hill said.

“One cannot argue with such people. The only alternative is to shut them down.”

That means universities as currently constituted have got to go, argued Hill, who has written on civil disobedience and identity politics, social and political philosophy, cosmopolitanism and race theory."

While I do not agree universities must be shut down, some kind of philosophical counterweight must
exist. One that provides humanities and social science majors--particularly future doctoral candidates headed for professorships--a balanced mix at least of ideological philosophies and political psychology, in particular, while depoliticizing core history courses.

Doctoral candidate exams also need to be reconsidered for less bias towards the "godless" schools of thought. While not yet as militant radical Left as say,the Sorbonne of the 70's, the anti-Western, anti-American indoctrination culture in many humanities and social science departments has surpassed the point of too far--perhaps the point of no return--for this generation at least. Essentially, the political correctness needs to go. Freedom to interpret and share ideas seems nearly lost to modern enclaves of radical liberalism.

What do you think?

Well before I went to college I only had the viewpoints from my family and friends. In college it not only was the viewpoints and beliefs from my professors but also from all my classmates from many different cultures and countries. I wouldn't say anyone was pushing me to be more liberal and a democrat, it's just once my eyes were opened and I saw perspectives and beliefs that were different from what my family and friends taught me in school I became more liberal. In college you get to interact with lots of people and in many ways just the interaction with so many people created a wealth of knowledge that I did not have before.

So I believe your premise is wrong. I don't believe professors are in anyway pushing their students to become leftists, it just seems to happen that way when people are exposed to a wide range of beliefs and viewpoints that are different than what their family and friends taught them growing up.

I find tragicomical and disingenuous the attempted condescension laced assertion that post exposure to an objectively unbiased humanities and social sciences core curriculum; one equally representative of conservative, liberal, Christian and secular diversity of epistemologies, dialectics and raw historical ethos and philosophies from antiquity to present, more often results in the young American mind aligning their belief systems voluntarily with atheism, cultural Marxism, and postmodernist thinking.

In other words, if new university students were offered a core curriculum truly representative of all historical social and political viewpoints, rather then fed predominantly Hegelian, Marxist and French postmodernist laced ones--supported in many cases by falsified academic papers, published works, field studies and antipositivist sociology passed off as science, then the average freshman student would likely choose a conservative toned syllabus, or in the very least have a chance to begin with a balanced source of historical information from which to make truly informed, balanced decisions. Rather than the prevailing winds of bias toward the historically liberal point of view and worse--the Marxist and cultural revolutionary one, and an anti-American social and political history ethos in particular.

Again, for the second time in as many days, I offer to a Liberal American mind knowledge of their idiocy in attempting to use the No True Scotsman Fallacy with the impunity of ignorance.

Do they really teach Marx in college? That is hard to believe given the complete ignorance of his ideas shown by nearly all Americans.

Indeed, and with extreme bias and prejudice. I am currently an undergrad psychology major at a Baltimore area university nationally vaunted and recognized for its liberal open mindedness and its position at the forefront of cultural political correctness and social justice. In my opinion the social sciences departments are enclaves of social justice and postmodernist dominated thinking, all derived directly from Moorish Utopian and Marxian political ideological rebellion against capitalism, Christianity and traditional American constitutionalism.

In fact, mere mention of a need for a Constitutional Economics or Aristotelean dialectics course will get you ridiculed in the least. Any critique of the antipositivist method of sociological study, versus a hard science approach, will be laughed away. Forget trying to introduce Christian philosophy to a discussion. I often joke with my fiancé, a student at the same university and hard sciences postgrad, that at least biology and numerical logic have yet to be politicized by memes of political correctness (not!). However, the philosophies have always led the epistemological academic direction of all disciplines in their approach to discovering knowledge, processes for studying and classifying results and the interdepartmental culture of the likelihood of academic publishing through the most recognized, and read peer reviewed publishing outlets.

There is a current prevailing wind in psychology blowing to remove all responsibility for "bad acts" from the power to prevent them of the individual's own mind. A turn back in time toward solipsism, or theory that everything the human mind knows and can discover is derived from internalized thought, rather than from interaction and observation of the external world around us. A very, very dangerous philosophy, and a regression to transcendentalist epistemology as normative across the disciplines, versus the empirical. At least naturalist philosophy and point of view scientific study can allow for a positivist tone and avoid the attempted destruction of God from the scientific process and findings.

If I had to make a wager I would have guessed you attended the University of Toronto.

Thank you for helping me to understand why the American public is ignorant of Marxist philosophy. It is obviously not being taught in our schools.

Most of the higher - ups in academe have never actually had a real, responsible job, where they were responsible for doing or accomplishing something tangible and valuable.

Earning a living honestly is the "boot camp" of life. It doesn't make you a genius, but the lack of it makes your opinions on Life somewhat suspect.

Imagine a faculty meeting where a couple dozen of such children are making decisions that will affect many peoples' lives.

Frightening.

Of course.

The Chinese, people from India, Germans, Japanese and so on send their children to this country to study. Because they want the best education the world has to offer for their children.

Republicans think education is bad for America. This is why they are creating a white generation of the uneducated. And they have so much opportunity but are squandering it.

Interesting op-ed.
A professor's call to shut down our nation's universities

I like how the professor demonstrates his admiration for free speech.

"One cannot argue with such people. The only alternative is to shut them down."

If the capitalist system didn't work the first time, tear it down and force it on them again. It will work the second time.

"We need to defund them (universities), disband and rebuild them with conservative principles — that is, values advocating individualism, capitalism, Americanism, free speech, self-reliance and the morality of wealth creation."

The core principles and foundations that keep the United States intact, that provide our citizens with their civic personalities and national identities, are being annihilated.

We need to defund them, disband and rebuild them with conservative principles — that is, values advocating individualism

This is some stupid shit right here and it is no wonder that this idea is rejected.

Our civic personalities and national identities are being undermined by the very thing the professor promotes as healthy to American society, hyper individualism.

In the conservatives mind being American means subordinating ourselves, as individuals of course, to the invisible hand (god) of market capitalism.

Ever see the cartoon where the cat was way up on a tree branch, sawing away at the branch on the side facing the tree trunk?

If you can make a claim against Marx, make it. Otherwise, the best advice I can offer is to stop climbing out on that limb, pussy cat........

So, you can't understand what I was telling you? How much simpler do I have to make it for you? If your level is too low, you are unlikely to understand no matter how much I teach you.

Jason Hill, DePaul professor, slams liberal colleges as ‘gravest internal threat to this country’
Professor calls universities the ‘gravest internal threat’ to U.S.

Quote:

"Jason Hill, who teaches at Chicago’s private DePaul University, blasted universities in a hard-hitting op-ed earlier this month as “propaganda machines” that indoctrinate students to reject Western culture.

“The core principles and foundations that keep the United States intact, that provide our citizens with their civic personalities and national identities, are being annihilated,” wrote Hill.

“The gravest internal threat to this country is not illegal aliens; it is leftist professors who are waging a war against America and teaching our young people to hate this country.”"

And quote:

"Moreover, “today’s scholars in humanities and social sciences increasingly declare that modern argumentation is a white, Western form of domination and linguistic imperialism that silences racial and ethnic minorities and devalues their ‘lived experiences,’” Hill said.

“One cannot argue with such people. The only alternative is to shut them down.”

That means universities as currently constituted have got to go, argued Hill, who has written on civil disobedience and identity politics, social and political philosophy, cosmopolitanism and race theory."

While I do not agree universities must be shut down, some kind of philosophical counterweight must
exist. One that provides humanities and social science majors--particularly future doctoral candidates headed for professorships--a balanced mix at least of ideological philosophies and political psychology, in particular, while depoliticizing core history courses.

Doctoral candidate exams also need to be reconsidered for less bias towards the "godless" schools of thought. While not yet as militant radical Left as say,the Sorbonne of the 70's, the anti-Western, anti-American indoctrination culture in many humanities and social science departments has surpassed the point of too far--perhaps the point of no return--for this generation at least. Essentially, the political correctness needs to go. Freedom to interpret and share ideas seems nearly lost to modern enclaves of radical liberalism.

What do you think?

Of course.

The Chinese, people from India, Germans, Japanese and so on send their children to this country to study. Because they want the best education the world has to offer for their children.

Republicans think education is bad for America. This is why they are creating a white generation of the uneducated. And they have so much opportunity but are squandering it.

Pitiful,
just
pitiful.

And in the same breath you will deny people come here from all over the world to get the best health care possible

Why would I deny it?
People with money can buy anything.
Even the GOP leadership.
