Colleges indoctrinate, victimize their students, but tuition rates keep rising

-- BombThrowers: When parents send their kids off to college, they assume they will receive training that prepares them for a lifetime of employment. However, the truth is most of America’s colleges spend precious little time imparting practical skills to students. As tuitions and student loan debt grow at historic rates, an extraordinary amount of classroom time is spent indoctrinating students with leftist propaganda. It pays off for the Left which uses the existing taxpayer-supported system to churn out America-hating subversives. Parents send their kids to colleges and universities, and when they come out, they come out radical Marxists, or democratic socialists — with a disturbingly different view of the United States and the rest of the world.

Liberal-progressive indoctrination in higher education is an epidemic

Not only has education at the hands of radical professors left more than half of recent grads unemployed or underemployed, but conservative voices are being silenced in the classroom. Liberal-progressive indoctrination in higher education is an epidemic. In fact, a 2013 survey of 409 colleges discovered that 62 percent of them have “speech codes” that “severely departed from First Amendment standards.” These so-called institutions of higher learning are failing miserably by neglecting their primary task – to educate – in order to spread the perverse social justice gospel. Examples of failure and malfeasance abound. Take the case of Caleb O’Neil, a student at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, Calif. He learned his lesson the hard way. After recording a professor’s politically correct jeremiad against President Donald Trump, he was suspended. The video showed academic brown shirt Olga Perez Stable Cox delivering a post-election monologue about President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. The video went viral.

“Our nation is divided. We have been assaulted. It’s an act of terrorism,” the psychology professor told students of Trump’s election

“Our nation is divided. We have been assaulted. It’s an act of terrorism,” the psychology professor told students of Trump’s election. “One of the most frightening things for me, and most people in my life, is that the people committing the assault are among us.” Cox, a gay Latina, referred to Trump as a “white supremacist” and to Pence as “one of the most anti-gay humans in this country.” The infamous rant, which came during a human sexuality class, earned Cox a much-deserved spot on Turning Point USA’s Professor Watchlist whose mission is “to expose and document college professors who discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.” O’Neil, who wore pro-Trump clothing in class, said he felt threatened by his instructor’s comments and shared the video with College Republicans. “I pulled my phone out, because I was honestly scared that I would have repercussions with my grades because she knew I was a Trump supporter,” he said, according to the Orange County Register. The school’s College Republicans said they initially alerted campus officials about the incident but the school administration refused to discipline Cox. College Republicans then made the video public and suddenly O’Neil was the one being punished.

The college contends that O’Neil violated a college policy that prohibits the recording of someone on campus property without that person’s knowledge or consent, as well as a policy that forbids unauthorized use of an electronic device. “It is my hope that this experience will lead you to truly think through your actions and the consequences of those actions when making decisions in the future,” Victoria Lugo, interim dean of students, wrote in a letter to O’Neil. The student was ordered suspended during one primary semester and the summer semester. He was been ordered to write a letter of apology to Cox, a three-page essay explaining why he videotaped Cox and decided to share the video, and detailing the damage the viral video supposedly did to the OCC community. He was required to meet with the dean of students before being readmitted and was to remain on disciplinary probation for one semester after returning to school. Bill Becker, founder and president of FreedomX, a law firm that protects freedom of expression for conservatives and people of faith, called the school’s actions “an attack by leftists in academia to protect the expressive rights of their radical instructors at the expense of the expressive rights of conservative students on campus.” Professor Cox, who has been an instructor at the school for 42 years, claimed in an interview that as a lesbian Latina she was frightened by Trump’s election. She said her remarks were intended to comfort those who feel discriminated against. She alleges she had to temporarily leave her home following an onslaught of angry, sometimes threatening mail. If you think that this incident of illiberal indoctrination is just an isolated incident, you would be wrong. This is the sort of filth students are subjected to every day in the academy. The University of Michigan has launched an “Inclusive Language Campaign,” which cost $16,000 to implement and entails plastering posters across the campus that caution students not to say things that might hurt other’s feelings. According to College Fix, words the campaign declared unacceptable include “crazy,” “insane,” “retarded,” “gay,” “tranny,” “gypped,” “illegal alien,” “#,” “ghetto” and “#.” Phrases such as “I want to die” and “that test raped me” are also banned. Michigan students are even being asked to sign a pledge that they will use only “inclusive language” and help their peers “understand the importance of using inclusive language.” While professors are busy proselytizing for Marxism and regurgitating radical propaganda, plenty of college courses have been so “dumbed down” that the family dog could pass them. A list of some of the most ridiculous college courses that have been taught at U.S. colleges in recent years include “What If Harry Potter Is Real,” “Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame,” “Philosophy And Star Trek,” “Learning From YouTube,” “How To Watch Television,” and “The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender and Media.” Adding icing to higher education's indoctrination cake, liberal and progressive commencement speakers far outnumber their conservative counterparts on U.S. college campuses. Not a single active conservative politician was invited to speak at one of the nation’s top 100 schools in the spring of 2016, according to one report. Adding insult to injury, students and their parents are paying top dollar for left-wing indoctrination. Tuition for a four-year degree at universities across the country are nearly a whopping $200,000, according to a list Business Insider compiled in 2014. Courses can run anywhere from $4,000 to $17,000 dollars each. Impressionable young adults are burying themselves in debt to earn degrees in dubious disciplines with zero market value and the debt can’t be discharged via bankruptcy. What a rip-off.
