Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate

For over a generation, shocking cases of censorship at America's colleges and universities have taught students the wrong lessons about living in a free society. This video explains how higher education fails to teach its students to become critical thinkers by supercharging ideological divisions, promoting groupthink, and encouraging an unscholarly certainty about complex issues.

Back in the 80's, a phrase I often was told by my uncle was that the more education a person got, the stupider they became. I doubted it at the time because he never been to college. I know better now. He was on to something.

Christ fuck me, are you really this dense? Fox News is irrelevant here. The point is open debate does not exist on university campuses! And as the video showed the more educated a person the less likely they are to come across opposing views, meaning they aren't educated, they're living in a bubble where their ideas are never challenged. I'm left wing on economics, right wing on immigration and social issues, so I'm don't want Republicans in office but I do want open debate in universities.

People say there is a RACE problem. People say this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY and ONLY into White countries. People say the only solution to the RACE problem is if ALL and ONLY White countries "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-Whites. But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against White people, Anti-Whites agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionje­ws. Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.

Like a child. Can deal with opponents arguments "You're stupid!"

You are pathetic.

Our schools and universities are overrun by leftists who inflict their poisonous philosophies into our kids and young adults minds. These people think its their job to change and mold society to conform to their world views. They are so closed-minded and are so terrified of the notion of a society that thinks any other way than they do. It's everywhere on all levels. I remember I had an ACCOUNTING professor who couldnt stop yacking about abortion any minute she could.
