Higher Learning earns a BS degree.

Americans pay dearly to have our kids indoctrinated by the university’s p.c. police.
At Colorado College in Colorado Springs, a couple of insouciant students circulated a flyer that parodied one distributed by the Feminist and Gender Studies program. The FGS flyer called itself the “Monthly Rag” (charming) and reportedly advertised a lecture on “feminist porn” and carried an approving mention of “castration.” The student parody flyer, the “Monthly Bag,” referred to “tough guy wisdom,” the range of a sniper rifle and “chainsaw etiquette.”
The students responsible for the parody were at first threatened with expulsion, which was later reduced to a violation of the college’s student-conduct policy on (get ready for it) “violence.”
Translation: If someone uses words you find offensive, he has committed an act of violence.
The stifling effect of racism and sexism allegations has led some to extremes.Richard Peltz, an award-winning law professor at the University of Arkansas, felt trapped by accusations of racism. Peltz had alienated some of his black students in the following fashion:

1) he participated in a panel discussion on affirmative action and argued against it,

2) he displayed in class a satirical article from The Onion that mentioned, among other things, Rosa Parks’s death

3) he illustrated the unfairness of affirmative action policies by offering to give all minority students an extra point on a test just for signing a form.

It would appear that learning has been reduced to indoctrinating students into a pre-set ideologies. Any deviation from the PRACTICED NORM is met with opposition. I thought learning was best nurtured in an environment that did not stifle alternative viewpoints but actually encouraged such.

Apparently only alternative thoughts are welcomed sound reasoning gets a pass.
