What happened to professors actually teaching. Not giving their opinions on the world. Thoughts? freedom of speech is freedom of speech the problem with teachers is tenure not freedom of speech "A university spokesman told the news station that the professor's comments "are his own opinion and do not represent the University’s views." so, other than saying the guy was a jerk heir is not much to do here. his profession is of no relevance Good idea for a thread though I'd like to hear other opinions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecPadre Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 He's a college professor. Pretty sure he is not teaching kids. Even though I dont agree with his comments he is still within his rights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im willing to bet if he made the comment about vomiting because a kid gave up his seat for a Black/Mexican lady the press would be going nuts. He would already be out of a job. But because he said it about a military person it is no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belly Bob Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 He sounds like an idiot. Universities lean left big time. That's no secret. Diversity and inclusion is all the rage these days. But the diversity universities seek is not diversity of opinion but diversity of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. So Political Science departments, for example, will try hard to hire a woman or a non-white person for the sake of diversity and inclusion, but they're not trying hard to hire someone with conservative beliefs. They'll look for another SJW who isn't a heterosexual white male. As for tenure, that's in place to protect researchers from being fired for publishing or expressing unpopular ideas. It's obviously very important, even if the ideas published or expressed are like this guy's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I talk about how horrible the media is, this is what Im talking about. The media decides what is important and what is not. We don't. There are many cases proving this. Just like the rape case in VA. Bottom line a 14 yr old was raped. News is trying to spin it that she was down with getting tag teamed. Same news also reported that the Duke LAX team gang raped Crystal Mangum. The news held court found them all guilty and hanged those kids. How did that turn out? Name one news station or reporter who was held accountable for false reporting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me this took me a life time of learning to deal with stupid people like this. Being a lighter shade of brown in a not so much town learned me some thick skin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is decided for ratings, selling subscriptions... the news also makes mistakes... it was not the news that made up the LAX rape. It was the girl. Your gripe is with the girl. I saw no trail with the media presiding. My advise, turn off Rush and look at things evenly, objectively. Look at why, who does what. That is how you get to know the truth.

Nor once the news was made aware the claim was not valid they had an obligation to report that. They didn't, they only changed the narrative once they got wind of what was happening to the prosecutor. BTW I hate Rush. Much of my info was thru reading and the 30 for 30 done by ESPN.

If Kurt said something like that during a campus meeting with a PoliSci department, he would very likely not be hired. They don't go for that hetero-normative masculine bullish*t.

Same think with Hannity and Koppel. Why wont CBS release all the footage. Why wouldn't CBS release all the footage when Bill was talking about Hillarys fainting spells. Why did NBC just get sued out the ass because Kouric tried to cut and paste their interview. Only reason she got caught was because the gun people also were taping the interview. Come on man.

So when I use the term "pussy" to describe someone, it's not there physical attributes, more so than their mental ones. But one of the worst things Obama did, and doesn't get the blame he deserves, is he groomed for 8 years an army of the biggest whining, crying, PUSSIES in history! All this diversity, and inclusion and whatever facade you want to call it has enabled everyone to protest, cry, bitch, and give their useless opinions about anything and everything. Stories like this prove how far back we went with Barry Hussein as the leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberal professors have been giving thoughts like this for decades, only difference is they couldn't voice them through various media. What do you think many thought during Nam?

What is in it for the conspirators? the conspiracy is your assertion that main stream media conspires to withhold the full stories for agenda... now keep in ind, fox is the only major news organization put together for the express purpose of advancing an agenda.
