Right now, a lot of people are acting like the adults in The Emperor's New Clothes. Everyone sees the same thing, but they're so caught up in what they're supposed to believe or say that nobody wants to point it out. The truth isn't always complicated. Sometimes it's as obvious as it was in that story—it just takes someone willing to say what the child said and call it for what it is.

The issue is people's beliefs on "common sense" things completely falls apart when someone gives it a label they don't like: "woke" "obamacare" etc.

Let's say I am taking a politics class and one makes a strong defense that voter ID causes issues with voting prevalence and civic participation. Why would i want a professor who is completely closed to the idea that this could be true. Liberals, progressives, communists all believe there are 2 sexes. You know who believes in multiple genders? Biologists.

"illegal aliens shouldn’t get free housing, medical, & in-state tuition at state colleges." is a boring liberal take that multiple professors have argued and made. You're too brainrotted by rush limbaugh style propaganda

See? Democrats are terrified. They know their own policies are ridiculous, & the only thing keeping them alive is that they have managed to convince their idiot kids that their ideas are the only option.

Do you only speak like a propagandist? This reeks of screeching woke warrior over actual substance beliefs. You haven't even identified why people with your opinions (which is mostly just blaming liberals so far...) need to be seen in higher ed.

Focusing on "fact" + "consequence" + "impact" from positive, neutral, negative angles instead of labels. Labels are empty words.

At this point, let’s skip the BS and not let you anywhere any college.

Let’s just lock you treasonous Trumps in a big pen in Times Square and wait until Putin completes the world war you started by n*king all of us.

I will be sad about being in the war you helped Putin execute, but, if the war k*lls you a few seconds before it k*lls me, and I know that, that will be a positive.

Conservatives have yet to develop an internally consistent framework that says anyone who is not white male straight has value.

Well, leftist ideology isn't that difference, to quote you: "because it essentially is a mix of "someone/something says this so it must be true and you cannot question it because [insert X moral reasoning]"

To me, there's a unique illogical ask by shields though: hire people who are conservative and follow rule by rule and are very institutional, but also give them appointments at top colleges and universities where they are supposed to be innovative and breaking rules? It just feels like this will slow research.

The greater issue is that the trump court opened the floodgates to hordes of high-stats, but robotic Asians who lack creativity and vision. They are taking over every top university now.

What does tolerance or inclusive mean to you? It doesn't justify being an ass.
