That is a result of indoctrination in the colleges, not education

DP. "Indoctrination in colleges"? You mean being taught to think critically? Not accepting the status quo? Questioning authority? Examining history and society through different lenses? Challenging widely-held beliefs? Learning about other cultures and political systems? Fostering intellectual curiosity? If that's "indoctrination," I'll take it.

No, I mean being failed in classes for not thinking critically and not accepting the current leftist agenda, whatever that may be. Colleges are a group think exercise now.

Only people who didn't go to college would think this. There are hundreds of majors in a college and thousands of courses. Most of those courses have zero to do with any kind of politics, left or otherwise, and those things are so completely irrelevant to most of the college professors that when someone says something like that you can immediately tell they have no idea what a college campus is like. There are also thousands of colleges in the US, and some are left-wing oases and others are run by televangelists, and then there is everything in between. You're showing your ignorance by spouting this group think nonsense. Also, group think is the opposite of critical thinking, so you don't even know what it is you are opposing.

Wrong. I have a master’s and now have kids in college. They can’t escape it.

Sorry, I wrote that and have a Master’s degree. The culture of colleges today restricts conservatism. Professors have been let go for thinking outside the current political box

What complete nonsense. It is common for an assignment to ask the student to explain a given topic from multiple points of view. I have never seen a professor fail someone for their idea rather they grade you based on your ability to present a valid argument. I think you have no personal experience with any of this and are merely repeating talking points you have heard.

Professors are being fired for having conservative points of view. Please

This says more about the Democratic Party than its rich voter base. It's because the Democratic Party has abandoned the economic issues that actually help poor people. They'd way rather virtue signal than actually require the wealthy to make any sacrifices.

Which Republican policies help the working class?

Like Medicaid and SNAP benefits?

They are also fired for having liberal points of view too. It goes both ways, and neither is right. However, in the case of "conservatives" it isn't conservatives it is MAGA racism. No one is being fired for simply believing in limited government and smaller federal intervention in daily lives.

Democrats are not the ones pulling funding for SNAP and threatening to end social security and medicare, nor are they the ones who eschew unions and rights for workers, you know, the economic issues that help poor people.

Where exactly is the GOP on these issues? Please be specific.

Letting the homeless and criminals take over the nation's Capital? Shutting down schools for a year because of something no worse than the flu? Forcing people to take a medical treatment to keep their jobs? All the transgender craziness? Flirting with WWIII?

NP. I have had the flu and Covid. Covid gave me heart problems, the flu did not. Just because you didn’t have a problem with Covid, doesn’t mean others didn’t. You can’t possibly be that self-centered.

Are you saying because Covid gave you heart problems, it was ok to shut down schools? In a healthy society we sacrifice adults to protect children, not the other way around.

Are you saying it is ok to expose every child in America to a virus that was unknown at the time and in hindsight is causing significant health issues (ie longcovid) to a large percentage of kids and adults in this country?

The powers that be had no problem doing that with the vaccine.

Th powers that be were all first in line to get the vaccine you ignoramus.

Actually, not true. Many refused.

rightwing super hero Tucker Carlson and all of Fox got the jab as soon as they could. Then they told YOU it was dangerous and y’all swallowed up that gunk.

Vs killing off the poor? Yeah, banning abortion does helps the poor.

Lifelong democrat here. Every election cycle, environmental protections climb higher on my priority list. Democrats aren’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I wonder what would have happened if jimmy Carter’s solar panels, placed in 1979, had stayed on the roof of the White House. Perhaps we would be way ahead in the renewables game by now. Reagan stripped funding from the renewables program and eliminated tax credits and set us back decades.
