The escalating madness of woke dogma on college campuses

Once an arena of dueling beliefs, colleges have been taken over by a woke left agenda that will tolerate no dissent.

Just a few weeks ago, on the campus of San Francisco State University, Riley Gaines, a 12-time All-American swimmer, was nearly mauled by an angry group of protesters who took issue with her message that biological men have no place in women’s sports.

She was chased down a hallway and practically held captive, all because she had the audacity to stand up against the left-wing mob.

The administration of San Francisco State never offered the 23-year-old swimmer an apology. Instead, it sought to cast her as the aggressor.

In a statement released by the University’s president, Lynn Mahoney, she described Riley’s presence on campus as “deeply traumatic” for the trans community and chose to commend — rather than condemn — the SFSU student body for exercising their so-called right to free speech.

America’s college students didn’t learn to be ideological bigots overnight — revulsed by the ideals of freedom of speech and expression.

But they learned over time and they learned by example, from professors such as Shellyne Rodriguez, who until her termination Tuesday evening served as an adjunct professor at Hunter College, a public college that is a part of the City University of New York system.

There was once a time when college campuses existed to be the battlefield of ideas, where discourse was welcome and differences of opinion were championed.

If even today’s college professors have lost sight of that, how can we be surprised that America’s young people have as well?

Contrary to her claim, it wasn’t the anti-abortion students who chose violence in that video. It was Rodriguez.

The best course of action for most of America's colleges would be to close them, send the students home, fire the faculty, and then burn the campuses to the ground. Perhaps they could then open cattle feed lots on what's left.

When I was a sophomore in college, I had one professor who believed in Socialism. The other was a libertarian. But they never threatened their students, and they welcomed challenging viewpoints.

I don’t think I would make it in today’s university system

I went to a military academy, so half our professors were officers and the other half were civilians, most of whom leaned conservatives.  My favorite history professor definitely leaned left, but all he cared about was whether you articulated your positions well and had good analysis.  Great guy.  Another one of my favorites was probably harder left -- he loved going off about the anarchists and stuff -- but he also was a very nice guy who never imposed his views on anyone else.  Kind of a fat guy who used to rant and get all sweaty, but a good guy anyway.  It was great to get a different perspective but be evaluated fairly.  It was really from him that I learned a ton of how the hard left actually thought, so I could recognize it all years later when they used the same phrases and coded language.

That's what education should be, right?  You learn different perspectives so that when you're done, you're better equipped to deal with the crap you run into later in life.  But now, rather than encouraging free and critical thinking, it's all about parroting back the same hard left crap they're spouting.  It's a disgrace at most schools.
