It's also bad at the pre-college level in other states. My nephew is a high school senior in Washington state and is on the debate team at his high school. At the start of each debate, they ask each of their opponents for their "preferred pronoun", and schools from poorer areas get handicap points to compensate for the fact that their parents can't afford to send them to the best debate camps.allisji wrote:My son turns 5 today and I dread the thought of him going away to college and having idiots like mike isaacson brainwashing him. Even in courses where the topic is not at all germane to the subject matter, they still feel the need to push leftist ideology in the classroom. I graduated from college 10 years ago in Kansas. The college environment was bad then, but it's nothing close to what it is now. It's gone so far to the left that 2000 Al Gore and 2004 John Kerry would be considered far right on campus today.Lynyrd wrote:The horrible thing about this whole story is that nutjob had a teaching job. Teaching? Really? The idiots that hired him are running a school? Makes me want to keep my grandchildren out of college.
He is actually a smart kid, but I gave up trying to discuss controversial topics with him because all of his "facts" were opinions that he was fed from liberal teachers. He got a bit frustrated that I was challenging known "facts" like all Trump supporters being white supremacists, and that anyone in favor of securing our borders or deporting illegal aliens must by definition be a racist. These are things that he has been thoroughly indoctrinated to believe.
He did enjoy our trip to the range on his last visit to Texas. My brother apologized that he won't be able to return the favor when I visit Seattle since it is illegal there for my brother to let me shoot any of his guns at the range. That counts as a "transfer" and would require a background check.
