"When liberal professors outnumber their conservative colleagues 28:1 a culture of ideological tribalism is created and freedom of speech ceases to exist. Conservative voices are silenced because the academic and social tyranny of the Left demands conformity. It is an ideological war that demands submission."--Linda Goudsmit |
Overt Racism at Evergreen State College Exposed
“Focusing on the color of somebody’s skin or treating them differently based on their skin color, which is what they’re asking for, that to me is racism.”
Thomas Sowell's "Barbarians at the Campus Gates" provides an in-depth look at the root of the university problem: A complete lack of moral fibre among faculty and administration. He also predicts that, without moral courage, the barbarians will win. Ponder that.
Mark Tapson adds coverage of the Hinderaker stories dealing with the vicious Leftist indoctrination in Minnesota schools, pointing out "that the Edina school district has hired someone to lecture elementary school children on 'white privilege'"
Linda Goudsmit echos Tapson, zooming in on the difference between Parochial schools, where parents know exactly what their children will be learning, and public schools where they do not have a clue with respect to how their children are being indoctrinated by leftist loons. Just what our kids need, right?
Think about it. If you are sending your children to the University of Maryland, do you understand the opposition to free speech among students there, the support for censorship of opinions the snowflakes do not agree with? Is that really what you spend $26,000 to $47,000 a year for?

An op-ed published in the University of Maryland’s student newspaper argues that institutions should be able to censor speech that makes students “feel unsafe.”
“When is something outside the parameters of acceptability? Where does free speech end and offensive rhetoric begin?” student Moshe Klein began. “When is political correctness appropriate, and when is it used to avoid what makes us uncomfortable? These are pressing questions that college campuses around the country are struggling to answer.”
The silencing of Conservative voices on campus is a deliberate strategy to expand the widening echo chamber of left-wing liberal tenets of political correctness, moral relativism, and historical revisionism. Parochial schools are very clear in their mission to educate students in the particular tenets, customs, and ceremonies of their chosen religion. Religious schools freely and unapologetically attempt to perpetuate their religions through education. There is informed consent - the parents and students being fully aware of the purpose of their education.
The problem today is in non-parochial schools because parents believe their children are receiving a secular American education not a parochial education. The reality is that American students from pre-school through college are being indoctrinated in left-wing liberalism by their Leftist teachers. Leftism is the new religious orthodoxy of the Democratic Party and the Democrats are busy proselytizing their religion in the classroom. There is no informed consent and no consumer protections. There is only Buyer Beware.
The entire interview is worth a listen if you can spare 12 minutes. If not, at least skip four minutes in and listen to her description of the meeting that took place in the Evergreen Library after protesters had a showdown with Professor Bret Weinstein outside his classroom. McKenzie describes going past a series of people who all told her the same thing: White people were not wanted.
It’s not just academics who won’t defend decency. Trustees could fire college presidents who cave in to storm-trooper tactics. Donors could stop donating to institutions that have sold out their principles to appease the campus barbarians. But when nobody is willing to defend civilized standards, the barbarians win.
Whether on college campuses or among nations on the world stage, if the battle comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are bound to win.
Not even bus drivers are exempt: they, too, are required to take political re-education classes.
