Furst, nice thread. Second: Ay. ¡Que largo!
Paragraphs, please.
This whole notion of elitists and elitist universities poisoning the minds of our children and society in general is such empty-headed nonsense. It's a baseless ruse created by political activists looking for some new wedge issue. Even Donald Trump brags about his time at an Ivy League school. Now we see that Tucker Carlson's lead writer is an Ivy guy. Have any of you heard Carlson ranting and raving about the evils of elite Ivy universities? It's revealing to understand that those rants were probably written by a proud graduate of an Ivy school. This is how disingenuous the nonsense has become. There's a reason so many Republicans are jumping ship on their own party's president. He's a rudderless, amoral egomaniac, that's why. This culture war he is elevating and throwing gas on is a side-show, a distraction. Both political parties have it's extreme weirdos. Looters and phonies on the left, and skin heads and phonies on the right. We need to find a solid footing. We need to choose leaders who care about the people they lead. I see Ben Sasse as someone to pay attention to. Not Mitch McConnell. I like John Kasich. He's a guy who is conservative yet reasonable and committed to his constituents. The swamp has worsened under President Trump. Special interests are brazenly directing government agencies with a goal to amp up profits and make public interest regulations disappear. Commonsense servant-leaders have been quieted as a self-indulgent, untrustworthy president relentlessly blathers his foolishness in speech after speech. One week it's this hoax, the next week it's another hoax. More excuses. More failures. Is it a conspiracy that more and more former high-level White House staffers are exposing Trump's shallow values, inattention to detail and his disinterest in reading critical information? And is it a conspiracy that there are so many different people writing books about the Trump train-wreck? Swallow hard, accept that we were fooled by this flim flam man, and move on.

Once again denying the obvious. Willful blindness, political hackery, or just stupidity? Pick one.
Professor Glick telling students at MU that they need to shut down a minority journalist who was not down with the cause.
Professor Clanton convicted of assaulting those he considered to be alt-right (they weren't) with a bike lock.
A conservative professor Charles Murray attacked by journalism students for daring to invite a conservative speaker on campus.
Milo Yiannopolis, Ann Coulter, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, Laura Ingrahms, and Melania Trump all threatened by teachers and students on campus forcing them all to cancel appearances.
The obvious stinks like shit on your shoes.
Want to argue then compile your list of liberals who undergone the same experience and then we can talk. Otherwise, you're just pissing in the shower.

when the topic of free speech sends university administrators into cowering convulsions
There are cases of politically "radical" students shutting down academics and pressure from other lecturers and university administrators.
the idea of safe spaces on college campuses is idiotic and anti liberal
the universities buckle and changes their language, and we then have what we have
violations of free speech should b e treated equal to plagiarism
Entire books have been written providing hundreds of examples of left-wing indoctrination having replaced education in American universities.
