[quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous]so what is your question? It appears that you've made your decision and you are announcing it to this board. [/quote] Well I do have a question about the atmosphere at the school these days. One trend I do dislike on college campuses is the silencing of people who hold politically incorrect views. (speech codes, "safe spaces", etc)[b] While I do hold Far-Right views, I am a very open-minded person [/b]in the sense that I'm willing to consider all viewpoints. (including those that oppose mine) My view is that if you listen to me, I'll listen to you. If you respect me, I'll respect you. What I will NOT tolerate is someone telling me to "shut up" or whining to the administration about how I "offended" them, because my views are not similar to the views of the mainstream. Now while I may support him, I'm no Donald Trump(I'm not going to get in someone's face, shout, and call them names because they disagree with me) However, if a controversial issue comes up in or outside of class, I will not hesitate to give my opinion, and I will not sensor myself. I am a devout Christian, pro-life without exception, staunchly against the LGBT movement, a strong supporter of traditional gender roles, a harsh critic of Affirmative Action, and very anti-immigration. Like I said, I will give my opinions calmly, and without brashness or vulgarity. However, I will not sensor myself because some students are a little soft in the head. Calling me things like "racist", "sexist", "homophobe", "bigot", or shouting "hate speech!" is not going to silence me. I'll laugh at anyone who calls me one of these names, and then can't back up their claim. This sort of name-calling comes from Libs and modern "conservatives" Liberals call me a bigot because I'm socially conservative, and NeoCons will call me an Anti-Semite because I don't believe we should support Israel in any way. I am neither. That's why I'm not applying to Hillsdale. It's controlled by NeoCons/Straussians, and I think a Far-Right Christian Monarchist would be as uncomfortable there as a Green would be. I want a school that accepts all views, no matter how radical they may be. If someone says something stupid, they should be refuted, and that will end the matter. Silencing people does nothing. Are the students at Sewanee able to have polite disagreements, or have the SJWs taken over that school as well? Will I be free to express my views there? [/quote] can't have both ways. [/quote] Disagree. To be open-minded means that you are willing to consider views that are not your own, and that you show respect to those you disagree with. I am a very open-minded person in that sense. Like I said, as long as you respect me, I'll respect you. I'm no Liberal, but I think America needs a good dose of Classical Liberalism. We've got to be able to politely disagree. You can't just tell me to "shut up" because my views are radical. [/quote]
