So this dude is fixated on one topic. Annoying but that doesn't make every thing he posts bullshit. Universities are liberal cesspools, they are the ones who taught the financiers how to wreck the economy. They are the ones who taught republicans that Women can't get pregnant from legitimate rape. They are the ones that taught the Earth is 6,000 years old and they are the ones that taught that we can burn all this shit forever and not cause global warming. They taught that DDT and cyclamates were safe. They also taught that "we are all the same under the skin" much to the detriment of medical advances, because different races do have different dietary requirements and other needs and peculiar problems. They taught alot of bullshit.
And now they are liberal indoctrination centers. You better have some socialistic tendencies to make the grade. That is not right. What this university is doing is to take a step back from that and allow opinions to be expressed. And you make it sound like he raped a 12 year old boy.
T^T
And you 'know' all this, how? When was the last time you attended the uni? I've been at that prospect in three different stages of life, but somehow that "the earth is 6,000 years old" and the "can't get pregnant from rape" thing somehow slipped through the years I was out of it, apparently. Along with completely missing out on the notion of any of that being a part of a "liberal agenda" at all.
The Romanian guy who taught Word, Excell, HTML, etc. didn't seem like too much of a 'liberal' to me. The econ teacher who told her class "That's why Reagan had to get rid of Volker, because he couldn't get rid of the inflation" (which is 100% opposite of the truth) didn't seem much 'liberal' at all to me, nor to anyone else in the class.
My classes have involved roughly half the departments at the uni and community college at one time or another, even if just one class from some of them (Spanish, accounting, French, eleven econ courses {ughh!}, geology, German, music theory, history, five levels of math, US government {political science!}, international relations, ... whatever, I lose count, and some of it too long ago). Not being able to make up one's effing mind can be rough, no question.
I know that I was half asleep on some occasions, but not that many, and if there was any 'liberal agenda' in that process, I was totally blinkered to it.
In the last episode, I actually did come across the relatively new phenomenon of the English department suddenly (since my previous experience there) now holding hegemony over what constitutes "critical thinking," formatting textbooks to have every distraction possible on the top, bottom, sides, and every corner possible (with a "what do you think?!" thingy always stuck in there somewhere), and this utterly bizarre new practice of "work together" in class in solving a problem you can do in 2 minutes on your own, but now takes ten minutes (though not always finished by then) in the 'mitarbeit' scheme (Mitarbeit Macht Frie), being as that the uni now considers the 'monkeys fucking a football' approach to 'learning' to be a positive thing.
All that is for purpose of being "better workers" in the sense of grooming one to accept as normal what would not be accepted in the past, how to accept the most bizarre of notions in the workplace (like being pushed constantly to intrude on people's lives further if you work for Google, e.g.) or how to steal someone's pension if she has ALS and try as she might, can only make it to two and a half months shy of the ten year requirement for being fully vested, but now has her last two years of life to go after being majorly ripped off ...
ETC.!!!
Unless you're trying to tell us that a private equity firm laying off 5,000 workers and selling off $1 billion in assets, learning that in the Masters Finance program at the uni, was part of the 'liberal mandate' in that endeavor?
Just what is the thing here? Anybody runs over a rabbit, it's a liberal agenda? Anybody invades the ME, it's a liberal agenda? Anybody gets a degree in IT or computer science, he/she is being sent out to the world with the liberal mandate instilled in them in those programs?
Since when was deregulation a 'liberal agenda'?
Man ...
