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?

Educated people are more difficult to manipulate that's why Universities may be a real threat ... not to US but to US Establishment, War party, Elites, etc., to everything we call Deep State.

But the fact is that Deep State and its puppets are real internal threat and the professor is just one of those who have been trying to distract people's attention from that and to substitute that fact with something fake. That's exactly how propaganda works.

Education can also be no different than a mass manufacturing operation, particularly if one ideology or the other becomes the culture.

Ignore the Russophiles here, and let's concentrate on the OP.

It is correct, or is it alt right awareness that the alt righties are losing the war to indoctrinate America.

Wrong. INTELLIGENT people are more difficult to manipulate. It just so happens that most intelligent people go for higher learning as well, but intelligence make you learn, learning doesn't make you intelligent---- some of the dumbest people you'll ever want to meet have advanced degrees. The other myth is that if you don't go to college, you're not educated------ home schooled kids actually test better than public educated ones and there is no reason why in 90% of the cases, you can't buy the right books and study the same stuff of your own as you might in college and learn it just as well or BETTER, not to mention what people simply learn in life.

Indeed, there is every indication that colleges are little more than just 4-12 years more chance for the Left to get at your brain and massage more indoctrination into people's heads---- while you pays for it, and that just makes you easier to control, not less; just look at the cookie cutter mentality of most of the hardcore Leftist dweebs here.

Some build empires, but you're correct. Most build them in their minds alone.

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.

Ya, any one with a brain is going to jump right on the band wagon behind you and get rid of universiies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can all live the movie Idiocracy! I would prefer to leave that in Trump land for the forseeable future! I will agree with you when you go to a plumer for heart surgery! Let me know how that goes for you, we will have one less idiot to kill the gene pool around!

How does going to school increase your IQ, troll? It doesn't. Schools are bastions of propaganda fed to young people by leftist America hating scum such as yourself.

That is how propaganda works...
And that is exactly what your post is. Propaganda trying to distract from the reality...which is that our colleges and our fake press are the #1 threats to this country.

But nice try.

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.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The chant of "atheism, cultural Marxism, and postmodernist thinking" has been the war cry of the Back to the Fifties crowd for a decade. The fact almost none of the crowd can identify "cultural Marixism" or "postmodernist thinking", while wallowing througyh a mentally greasy bog of evangelical and fundamentalist inerrancy and cultural fascism, makes the well-educated American mutter, "Oh, my, idiots everywhere."

 

[Tehon]

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."

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.
