| Not gonna lie I also think that this is pretty crappy. I in no way support the political correctness and censorship performed by universities but this is just too far in the opposite direction. Professors who merely describe Marxism will be denounced as "anti-murrican pinko commie basterds'". Most university staff and students are liberals anyway, who contrary to popular belief are not leftists. |

There's nothing "highly ironic" about noting that political correctness is not solely the domain of the left, as evidenced by this conservative call to shame professors for promoting "anti-American values" and "leftist propaganda" (aka. views I don't agree with). It's as if they wish to create an adult daycare centre for conservative snowflakes. xD :P |

| A professor "watch-list" . . . While I find those who are overly political annoying, the idea of a list being drawn up is actually pretty scary. If anything, all this will do is encourage trolls to get on and harass these professors, who will then take that as proof of the bigotry around the world and be able to use it to further push their cause. What is likely to come from this is a backlash in the wrong direction because idiots on the internet think that calling someone a "fucker for being an SJW" is somehow going to fix the problem. |

At least we conservatives don't try to invade other places to force our ideology onto your throats like 32 gender pronouns and rape culture. And political correctness is firmly in the domain of you sensitive liberals now, your kinds are credited with creating most of the buzzwords like islamophobic, transphobic and gender dismorphism, etc. Please don't try to push that burden to us. It was very important to create some practical measures in the uni to prevent slippery slopes like legalising pedo which the liberal outlets are fond of pushing nowadays. Liberals don't seem to know where to draw the line what is extreme whereas we right-wingers can. So certain legislation is necessary. |

These were either generic English courses or specialized ones where they actually threw out the expected content to skew it their way. the objectivity of this project is already compromised since it's being conducted by a partisan group. i'll be the first to admit there are biased political science professors here and there. however the cultural marxism/leftist indoctrination epidemic in universities is grossly exaggerated. it is largely a myth long played out by conservatives because sometimes, certain things that students learn in subjects such as science, history, political science, sociology, etc. aren't very flattering to conservative narratives. In history and social sciences, it was 3 flaming liberals out of 6 (ironically, the Arab-Islamic History course was one of the neutral ones). I'll forgive one because only an idiot takes a course on minority groups without expecting it, but that's still pretty bad. All told, thinking back, about 20% of the courses I took involved significant preaching and/or indoctrination by clearly biased professors. It could have been worse, but my major (Business) was one of the hardest ones to inject excessive bias into. I had exactly one unabashedly conservative professor. Total. Of course, the truth is that the professors aren't the real issue - it's the administrators. Even a politically biased professor can only manage so much in a STEM course. But the administrators are the ones that keep coming up with these absurd rules and ideas, and implementing them without a second thought or even the illusion of even-handedness. The professors are just the icing on the cake. |

I don't claim to be smart nor articulate in my opinion. I don't even deny extreme right is also bad. I'm not religious, pro-marijuana, even pro-abortion but when I say the left doesn't seem to know where to draw the line, the proof is in the pudding with the misplaced sympathy for people with gender pronouns, Islamic immigrants and black lives matter. Sure there are some people on the left criticising these movements, but the most of them would rather attack Trump constantly (and before that cis white male and nice guys). And you are the one acting high and mighty with snarky one-liners and being condescending in another threads calling someone 'honey' with ever so frequent sarcastic tone calling every contents cancerous. Do you honestly think I didn't notice the post you deleted? I only took very aggressive and reactionary stance recently since the polite exchange hardly works neither here or anywhere. I have been arguing with left-leaning people almost 10 years, 90% of the time, it never came to compromise. I may identify myself as conservative but I agree on the social issue with libertarian stance but I could see the confirmation bias from mile away like most netizens have personal hangups against every conservatives with frequent throwaway insults hurled without even listening to their arguments. I'd rather be rooting for underdogs than know-it-all college graduates. Also creationists may be dumb people but harmless dumb people whom you can drive away with ease but extreme left are not without your reputation on the stake. |

| shotz_ said: i could counter your anecdotal evidence with my own anecdotal evidence as a 5 year poly sci student whose vast majority of professors have been stringently objective (some of them were conservative leaning personally also). at the end of the day all of it means jack shit. at the end of the day a lot of it comes down to opinionated people going into college and falsely perceiving bias when some of the learning material challenges their worldview. personally i lean more to the left and i've studied things that weren't flattering to my political views too. that does not necessarily make it biased. no political worldview is immune to being challenged by historical trends/objective information. not to mention some people having very warped understandings of what liberalism and leftism are, which can often lead to false interpretations of bias. I said I chose to take courses on minority groups and Arab Islamic History. Obviously, me being too conservative wasn't the issue there. The issue is things like a basic English course where every paper was about racial prejudice or discrimination towards a handful of select minorities. In many cases, the subject and required conclusions were such that the paper had to be patently false to get a passing grade - in other words, requiring students to write propaganda. That's not appropriate. Anywhere. Under any circumstances. One or two papers, sure, but only with something coming from the other direction too AND a possibility of arguing the other side and still passing. This is also no exaggeration. I actually know multiple people who were failed for refusing to tow the party line on such assignments, both with this professor and others who were similarly biased. Anecdotal, yes. But the fact that all of these people appealed this treatment and all but one of the professors were upheld suggests a major problem - one that cannot be explained away by students being repelled by challenges to their world view. After all, the same people would be screaming bloody murder if a black student was required to write pro-white or anti-black propaganda, and deservedly so. |

| @ErwinJA Where did you go to college? I mean I hear this kind of stuff all the time when you see random college kids being encouraged to protest this or that, but I have been to 3 colleges in California (1 of them was community), and while most of the teachers were likely liberal, most also left their political views completely out of the class (although too be fair, most of my classes had been chemistry / biology so ...) I certainly don't remember having to write all my papers on social justice issues, and I never had to choose which way to argue for my writing classes either. The closest I had to social justice issues was a paper centered around a book I had to read about a kid who came to America from Honduras illegally by riding on top of trains in Mexico (messed up shit ensued). However the prompt I chose allowed for one to either argue for more strict, or less strict, border policies and the book itself was relatively neutral in that it definitely hilighted many of the problems that crop up when impoverished illegal immigrants reach America (such as joining gangs, burdening the education system, etc.) Since many of the students wrote in favor of more lax regulations, I wrote in favor of more strict conditions, and despite the teacher being pretty liberal I got a really high grade and he liked it. I guess what I am saying is, if you are going to colleges where political agendas are being pushed, perhaps you should reconsider the quality of education being offered at said college. |

I'll also admit that I only experienced 4 or 5 courses that were really bad myself, and all but one of the places I saw issues in were those general "liberal arts" courses that are required for graduation. In the exception, the course was even handed, but the teacher, who had been doing work for the union, was notably lacking in presenting the other side of a then-current (and relevant to the course) labor dispute. Disappointing, but not unexpected. Ironically, the most impressive case of a teacher discussing politics was in the community college. The Political Science professor was open about his opinions and biases, but just as quick to admit them as such and happy to engage in civil debate. As such, even those he openly (and often jokingly) disagreed with were under minimal pressure to conform. However, a large numbers of egregious offenses have been relayed to me through friends and family, and include a range of mid- to high-end schools throughout Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, and North Carolina, along with some others scattered around the country. These include high schools and prep schools as well as colleges and universities. While the general liberal leaning of most "victims" should be noted, I'll also admit that, in some of those cases, both sides were clearly biased. This can be illustrated in an incident I heard about where a devout Jewish student was required, by an Arab teacher, to write an anti-Israeli paper. I'm sure you can figure out where that one went. But my problem remains not the professors so much as the administrations that not only allow, but actively encourage such things. Professors can only do as much as the administration allows after all, and I've actually seen what can happen when they have nobody to answer to. I've seen teachers rebuked for safety violations, racial and religious discrimination, and not even pretending to do their job (yes, that previous sentence), but every time an indoctrination case got to an appeal, the board sided with the teacher. In fact, multiple schools failed to even provide anonymity to complainants. And when you see the list of administrative positions, it's hard to deny the result is what the school wants. |

| Syndromic said: clandestine said: What about all the people who stand outside abortion clinics and Planned Parenthood establishments to bombard visitors (which as a resident of the southern US I've seen quite a bit)? You can claim that's in the name of religion instead of conservatism, but the two mediums often intersect. Farther right conservatives who're obnoxious enough will flaunt themselves to people's faces and browbeat them for disagreeing. Just as the farther left does. If they really wanted to invade, they would have replaced all the staffs with conservatives and destroy them from inside. If they were fully insane, they would have paid Westboro church to harass the abortion clinics staff and actually destroy them until there are none left. If there were real harassment, all the media outlets would have jumped on it like attack dogs admonishing those "big bad republicans'. They do that with bombs and bullets. |

| These right wingers want to attack education and anyone who disagrees with them. They hate education. Many dictatorships attacked academics (eg Mao). Because the academics won't fall for their propaganda. Just wait as these far righties take away your civil liberties. And the uneducated will fall for it. |

| ErwinJA said: Pirating_Ninja said:I've gone to three schools in Michigan (one mostly boarding university, a larger, mostly commuter university, and one community college as well), as well as taking a non-degree program at a local college in North Carolina. All were medium-end - low cost, but highly rated in certain areas. To be honest, the problems I saw were more department related, rather than the school. @ErwinJA Where did you go to college? I mean I hear this kind of stuff all the time when you see random college kids being encouraged to protest this or that, but I have been to 3 colleges in California (1 of them was community), and while most of the teachers were likely liberal, most also left their political views completely out of the class (although too be fair, most of my classes had been chemistry / biology so ...) I certainly don't remember having to write all my papers on social justice issues, and I never had to choose which way to argue for my writing classes either. The closest I had to social justice issues was a paper centered around a book I had to read about a kid who came to America from Honduras illegally by riding on top of trains in Mexico (messed up shit ensued). However the prompt I chose allowed for one to either argue for more strict, or less strict, border policies and the book itself was relatively neutral in that it definitely hilighted many of the problems that crop up when impoverished illegal immigrants reach America (such as joining gangs, burdening the education system, etc.) Since many of the students wrote in favor of more lax regulations, I wrote in favor of more strict conditions, and despite the teacher being pretty liberal I got a really high grade and he liked it. I guess what I am saying is, if you are going to colleges where political agendas are being pushed, perhaps you should reconsider the quality of education being offered at said college. For example, I took at least one English course in each of the three Michigan ones, and the only course that was well and truly doing actual English was at the one school where I took two (and had the worst offender).
