[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a lawyer, I believe that people benefit from hearing different viewpoints. The best way to understand an issue and strengthen your argument is to vigorously defend it. Everyone benefits from having more viewpoints on campus.

That said, I’m astounded when conservatives tell me that their children are being brainwashed by liberal college professors. I had both liberal and conservative professors. It was a thought provoking experience but only a  moron is brainwashed by a professor’s political leanings. An intelligent kid can think for themselves.

When I think back to the classes that I took in college, most of them were factual and I don't think there was much room for either a woke or a conservative perspective.  I think people that take classes that are woke genuinely want to engage with that subject matter.

People are more careful now about saying racist and sexist things.  I don't have a problem with that.  It can be hard to study alongside people when you know they think poorly of you.[/quote]
