Left-Wing Professors Lose Keystone Battle
by Christopher Flickinger
Posted Jul 25, 2005

Social Marxist Moves Up University Ladder

Left-wing professors who prey on captive and impressionable students will soon be purged in the state of Pennsylvania. The Keystone State has created a select committee that will examine the “academic atmosphere” within colleges and universities that receive public funds. Liberal groups couldn’t be more upset about the investigation. Meanwhile, those in conservative corners see this as a step in the right direction – providing young minds with an unbiased, untainted and truly well-rounded educational experience.

The committee, established on July 5th by a 111 to 87 state House vote, will probe a wide range of areas within academia including whether: “…students are evaluated based on their subject knowledge or ability to defend their perspective in various courses; …students are graded based on academic merit, without regard for ideological views, and that academic freedom and the right to explore and express independent thought is available to and practiced freely by faculty and students;” and that faculty are hired, fired, promoted and granted tenure based on their knowledge of the subject matter and their ability to educate students on “various methodologies and perspectives”.

Recently, Human Events has uncovered and reported numerous abuses of power and authority by liberal professors, as well as, students who have felt intimated to voice their conservative views in the classroom. One such case involved a biology professor at Shippensburg University, a publicly funded school located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Yet, in spite of these abuses, a number of left-wing groups oppose the state’s new oversight of higher education.

<snip>

Truth be told, anyone who fails to recognize a liberal bias within a majority of America’s institutions of higher learning most likely lacks the intellectual capacity to educate others at those institutions. Students spend thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands, to attend college. They deserve a fair, unbiased, untainted, well-rounded education – not liberal indoctrination.

2. I've said it before, I'll say it again...
We can NOT be held responsible for the fact that
"TRUTH HAS A LIBERAL BIAS"

Deal with it, wingers.

Their idea of a fair, unbiased, untainted (untainted!?) education is a seminary.

4. "TRUTH HAS A LIBERAL BIAS"
I like that. That will even fit on a bumper sticker, sig lines, e-mails.

7. Governor Ray-Gun purged hundreds of college instructors and Profs
He purged the college system during his reign.

I was going to San Jose State University at the time -- and so many of our excellent college teachers were purged -- they moved on to teach at Junior colleges and out of state.

This has happened before -- and the damned Republicans are blaming any questioning of the bushies as coming from what we learned in college. I recently got into a debate with a "veteran" who expected me to shut up and listen to his wisdom. When I didn't he then tried to blame my feminist opinion about the current Governor Gropenator on my college professors.

Me: "Don't give me that shit about being a Veteran -- I'm a Navy brat and I was born in a military hospital and grew up in the military -- I KNOW about the military -- in ways you will never be able to understand."

He gave up -- and this is the first time he backed down. This "vet" comes into this store every week -- and lectures the clerks -- they are polite -- because hey, he's a customer.

I don't back down and accept the "wisdom" of someone just because that someone claims to be a Veteran -- who blames anyone who thinks for themselves that they are just repeating what we learned from our damned liberal professors.

Nope -- I held these opinions LONG before I went to San Jose State.

And I am damned surprised that there aren't more SSJU troublemakers here at DU -- where the hell are the liberals that Ray-gun was out to squash? What about grads from UC Berkeley? Or any California graduates from the Ray-Gun era?? There are some great stories from UC Berkeley Grads -- getting tear gassed while doing research in the library.

8. "Indoctrination" is what rightwingers do. "Liberalism" is truth.
How do they explain the rightwing bias of everyday life in America?

They must infiltrate institutes of higher education also?

The tactic of the rightwing fascist is to perpetrate the crime then turn around and act like your the victim.
