The only thing Tupac and Shakespeare would remotely have in common is that they're both dead.

Outrageous. I should be outraged. Not within rage but without it. On the other side. Oh if only I had a word for it.

They're not whiny, sensitive pussies. They're anti-white, leftist activists.

America elected this shite twice and put it in control of the educational system, and this is what we get.

Anti-white, probably. Liberal, no.

BB I like you but you gotta let go of this equating whiny bitches to liberalism. It's disingenuous and intellectually lazy.

A conservative and a liberal could sit down and have a healthy exchange of ideas and disagree civilly, this is just nonsensical antiestablishmentism for its own sake.

Agreed.

Disagree. This has been a long time brewing. Instead of participating in open intellectualism, academia has since the 60s been reaching for the farthest left version of progressivism they can find. Intellectual nowadays equals progressive ideology. Progressive ideology is in academia defined as the opposite of what has held power in social and political spheres.

They've finally amassed enough of these professors to admit enough of these students and implement curricula that encourages the kind of activism you are seeing in modern schools.

I say this as a person who works in academia and would generally claim that he identifies as more liberal than conservative.

Thought police and Gestapo-like tactics in policing intellectualism are going to destroy what has made American colleges the envy of the world.

Well put, now I will resume mocking the stupidity of this thread's premise.


Both Tupac AND Shakpeare were black men who got their culture appropriated by white slave owners. #teachthetruehistory

I said leftist, not liberal. Huge difference. The liberals can't stand these pricks either.

Most top-tier American colleges are foreign controlled anyway. Outsourcing at the base level.

Kick their arse out and let in one of the other rejected students wishing they had been accepted.
