Oh Brother I think all of this is so wrong on so many levels. When I attended college back in the 70's we protested peacefully if that was what we believe in. Most of it was about war and weapons of war. It wasn't politically based it was because in our minds war was wrong. But our instructors of our various majors didn't promote any kind of violence nor do I think that they do that today. Most of the professors taught whatever their assigned classes were about. If it was engineering they taught that, if it was Art which was my major I never heard any of them say let's go out and protest. I learned how to do graphic design, and saw movies in on of my classes but none of it indoctrinated me into wanting to protest the wars that were going on. That happened because I felt war and hate were wrong which I learned years before I ever stepped foot into a University classroom. So I believe you are correct sir in all you have said here. I've also been saying, if you say you are going to keep "freedom" in speech, press or otherwise it should be for all people NOT just for one group of people.
This Daily Beast interview with Dr John Gartner is a great watch to discuss Cheeto’s advancing dementia(https://bit.ly/47TyuxN) which is more and more noticeable as the symptoms are clear As Gartner notes we have digital tracking over the years to compare where he was 20 years ago and now how his functioning has deteriorated that is not explained by advancement of age And the stress of the presidency is obviously accelerating his dementia and psychopathy
The interview exposes the reasons why we are making many of the observations of Cheeto who is clinically described as a malignant narcissistic who is a sadist, unable to love, and having no remorse of past criminal behavior Epstein shared the same psychopathy
This, article, is definitely 💯, painful, for, myself, also. People, especially those with whom we know are very sensitive about their feelings and emotions.
This article is so painful to read but at the same time so relatable, so understandable. I remember back in the late 1960s my father, who had never been to a university, had gone to high school at night, railed at me when I started talking about social injustice at the dinner table.
A 17 year old university freshman, I had begun to talk about the history I was learning that put another light on the things I had learned in my parochial high school. I was observing fellow students campaigning for justice in South Africa, in California for migrant workers and against the Vietnam War. And so much more, I was mixing with students who came from diverse backgrounds, who'd had different experiences. Our professors challenged us in classes: "Why do you think that? What resources have you read? You can't write a term paper using just one book, you've got to have a reading list that includes other points of view...."
"You're there to get an education!" my father shouted. "This isn't what I am paying good money for." But what was he paying "good money for?" He hadn't even wanted me, a girl who would probably end up getting married and having babies, to go to university anyway (a story for another day.) But I did. And I ended up working for universities, as an administrator, for most of the rest of my working life. I would be the first person to say that universities are far from perfect but they are where young people choose how their lives are going to progress, learn hard lessons that some find intolerable, fall in love, cement lifelong friendships and sometimes form lifelong assumptions--or learn that there is nothing as consistent as change. In sum, universities are a microcosm of life.
So, yes, I can say that university exposure opened my eyes to a lot of the assumptions I'd had about the way things were supposed to be. A lot of the things I learned angered me. But I've never committed a crime, never lifted a gun (no, never), never tried to cancel anyone on either right or left. I consider myself left-leaning in that I believe in the kind of socialism where the government exists for the public good, to do good things that individuals cannot do on their own. But isn't it ironic that so many of us who were the agitators for social change in the 1960s and 1970s became ordinary people for the rest of our lives? Look at our governments past and present--how many elected officials have gone to university? Is Free Press saying that they are all deluded or benighted? Oh, wait, no, just those they disagree with.
Making statements such as Free Press has made begs for debate. Thank you Professor Moynihan for opening such debate up; may we never slam the door on "institutions of higher learnings!"
