Politics Beautiful Evergreen State College

This millennial kid at work is super slow at math and taking directions. He's got a great sense of humor and is very quick witted with as Fez would say Uh BURN.

He told me how they taught him multiplication in school because I challenged him to do some I wrote on a parts box. He had to think about them and eventually got them right. I blame the schools.

 

I'm normally more on the "Libral" side of the equation but I believe very strongly in schools being a place of open discussion and idea exploration.

I have no problem with this group of students voicing their opinions and exploring the depths of racism. But I listened to the professor and he is simply a thoughtful and considered man who is the students are trying to silence. Let the discussion happen, this is exactly where these conversations should take place. But shutting down the professor is not a conversation and does nothing to further the ideals of what s liberal arts education should be.

I feel bad that these students have been given such free reign that they no longer care about conversing, just about ruling.

 

I suggest that anyone wanting a more in depth understanding listen to Joe Rogans recent podcast with the professor. It's a 3 hour conversation and you get s very deep view inside the subject. Granted, it's only from one side and I would like to hear the students reasoned responses, because I'm sure there must be some bright thoughtful students in the mix. But the Rogan podcast was sufficient for me to conclude that the professor is not a racist and is being maligned.

 

On another note, listen to both podcasts with Jordan Peterson. Another professor, from Canada who refuses to call these students by their pronouns and has gotten similar backlash

 

I listened to that one too, it was a little less clear cut but very interesting.

 

I haven't caught the podcasts but I saw a lot of the Petersen thing when it was big on youtube. Just reminded me of Pee Wee arguing with the fat guy.

Can't Make me!!!!!!!! and so on.

 

I think it should be. Behavior like this is happening all across universities but I mean yeah sure fuck free speech and let's make up pronouns and other things you have to abide by. It most definitely should be a national concern

 

Very few things have the national importance as the presidency. However, that does not mean that below that threshold is importance.

I don't worry at all about those protesting students, that par for the youthfully rebellious course. However, it is truly disheartening to see the staff and faculty shy away from the fundamental pillar of equality on such a campus. I hope this is a solitary incident, but I worry it is not. I look to schools as being bastions of free speech and inclusiveness.

 

I think it's kinda hilarious that people point to Trump as the source of problems. The guy may be an incompetent asshat, but there are problems that have been festering beneath the surface long before he put his hat in the ring.

Don't confuse this as support for the man, I think he is completely unfit to be president.

 

Good Lord the voice of reason arrived. Unless covfefe is a code name for a time machine.

 

Who do this dog and cat think they are?

 

Ahh shit, it's like a clone movie. Shoot him! No, shoot him, I'm the real one!

 

Dumbest statement ever. People....decent, law-abiding people...have been tired of this Left-enabled nonsense for years now. All Trump did was give a national voice to those of us whom are tired of it.

 

I know who you are

 

Timing matters.
