Schools are supposed to teach you how to think.

we dropped the ball on this 60 years ago.

I disagree. Schools should be a place for sharing knowledge and not ideology

Saying American academia is more nuts than North Korea doesnt seem like a very conservative view. It actually seems like a pretty radical view.


Yes, observing and commenting on the radical nature of academia makes you a radical.

This discussion is a bunch of frogs in a warming pot of water lashing out at a frog who came from a boiling pot for making note of the obvious problem in the new pot.

I'm going to be nice. You and I just said the same thing, however your reading comprehension is pathetic.

I literally just said the mission is to learn HOW to think, not what to think.

I believe a woman is the property of her husband and that I don't have to acknowledge any gender pronouns besides those assigned by XY and XX chromosomes at birth. People disagreeing with that doesn't make our country more nuts than a socialist country with a dictator that claimed to hit 18 hole in 1s and the people must accept it as truth.

Teaching people how to think is indoctrination.

This is why you can't have a conversation with progs.

"What to think" is indoctrination. How to think is liberation.

Even when these guys make semi-compelling points they tend to drop in something absurd that pretty much gives the whole game away

This isn't crazier than the institutions of the US deciding 4 year olds can select their gender and have surgery to make it so, and that we must all accept this as truth

I don't know what country you live in but it isn't America if this is true. I don't accept that as a fact and there is no law saying that I must.

Meanwhile if you claimed Kim jong didn't hit 18 hole in 1s you could be executed.

Individually, no fringe belief is more damaging than another. We aren't talking about what individual crazies believe and how that impacts our society. That seems obvious.

It has as much merit as "progressives" crying that conservatives are destroying America.

Entrepreneurs and men of vision built America. The party that hates it is destroying it.

Your people prefer socialism, which appeals to the very wealthy and the very poor.

I know you aren't wealthy

Talking about what is being taught in NK


Regardless of how you want to spin she is just seeking attention attention and trying to get 5 minutes of fame.
Do you know what they teach in Required North Korea education?

You cannot sit here and tell me woke colleges are worse than biased forced propaganda education in North Korea. In US colleges, you can still have different opinions.
Where as you're forced to learn BS propaganda in NK.

At Columbia if you disagree with a lib, they will just scream at you with their purple hair, but if you disagree in NK find yourself at a re-education camp for a prison term.
