Woke professors teach WHAT to think.
Intelligent professors teach HOW to think.

Florida does not need schools or colleges to indoctrinate its students with radical garbage. We have enough of that across America right now. What exactly is their end game?

Conservative professor here. Actually, there is plenty of indoctrination and telling people what to think on both sides. I would not want to teach in Florida, either. [/quote]
Where, PP, are you allowed conservative academic freedom today?[/quote]

There are traditional conservative professors everywhere, just not fascists or racists or delusional demagogues. [/quote]
Like where exactly, and which department? Crickets, no doubt. We got it.[/quote]

NP. I'll respond. Off the top of my head, in the DC area where DCUM is based, there is George Mason University, where the law school and economics department lean right/libertarian and where the Koch Brothers-funded Mercatus Institute is based. (You can read more about Koch funding at GMU [and other universities] and the involvement of the Federalist Society in funding and hiring decisions here: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/us/koch-donors-george-mason.html). In addition, "GMU has a “green” rating from FIRE, the academic free-speech watchdog group, which means that “all members of the George Mason University community enjoy the right to freedom of speech and expression.” [/quote]

CUA also leans right as well.[/quote]
Sure, just like Frances. [/quote]

There’s a CUA professor in my neighborhood who is Clarence Thomas level conservative. CUA has a lot of anti-abortion conservatives among its faculty and students. But you knew that.

Do you think Liberty University or BYU allow liberal faculty to promote their ideas on abortion and gay rights in the classroom?[/quote]

No need to speculate. Thankfully most of us have access to the internet and can look these things up. FIRE (The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) tracks free speech (or lack thereof) on college campuses and promotes free speech in K-12 education. They rate "the policies that regulate student expression at over 486 colleges and universities. Schools are rated annually as “green light,” “yellow light,” or “red light” institutions based on the extent to which they restrict free speech." You can look up colleges on their website (here: https://rankings.thefire.org/rank) and see how they rank. Regarding Liberty U and BYU, Liberty is not rated but BYU is on their list of Warning schools.  [/quote]
