Does anyone really believe these crybabies should be teaching our children?

Penn Professors Panic at Calls for “Viewpoint Diversity”

The Daily Pennsylvanian student newspaper this week ran a story on how some faculty members are panicked at what they consider an existential threat to the safety and future of the institution. No, it is not another pandemic or a wave of terrorism. It is being forced to accept “viewpoint diversity.” The very prospect of hiring faculty with opposing views has led at least one professor to pledge to retire rather than teach in a diverse intellectual environment.

So, these are the supposed adults whom we trust to get our children ready for the real world? The adult snowflake so insecure that they cannot accept the possibility that their personal views might be challenged by another professor? One professor stated something so chilling that you hardly can believe that he uttered in with a straight face.

He explained that “viewpoint diversity” is “a code word for Republican hires” and that initiatives to protect free speech are nothing other than an effort to “re-engineer the University.”

He literally is suggesting here that there is inherently something wrong with hiring a Republican to teach at the university. Let that sink in or a minute. Not just that he personally disagrees with Republicans, but that he believes that the idea of allowing a Republican to teach a class is a manner to "re-engineer" the entire University. Obviously not in a good way.

Now this seems to be an almost untenable position that people like this used to not openly admit. It expresses obvious bigotry. They used to come up with other excuses for their bigotry, while denying that it was about not hiring conservatives. Now they just openly admit it as if the rest of the country will understand and agree. This is the bubble they live in.

The reality is that we are at a point where less than a majority of Americans still believes college is even a positive thing. Nearly forty percent think sending your child to college is a net negative to their future. Moreover, less than a third of Americans approve of the idea of shutting out conservative ideals from college speech. Two thirds of Americans are closer to absolute free speech advocates for our universities. This includes opinions that are likely to offend the liberal ideals of these schools. Bottom line, there is literally no support from the broader American public for the idea that hiring Republicans or conservatives as professors is a bad thing, as alleged by our collective university faculty.

At this point we have the sort of college atmosphere where only on political viewpoint is allowed and that political viewpoint is being introduced into pretty much every subject. How does this prepare these kids to succeed in society once they graduate? Well, it doesn't. In fact, it is probably doing the opposite. It creates a bunch of politicized children who will do little more than cause problems in whatever work environment they enter. They will do so, because this is now what they are being taught.
