Conservative Students Are The Real Revolutionaries
If you wanted to prove that
American universities are places where
free speech and
open discussion prevail, you probably wouldn`t visit
the University of Texas at Austin.
There, as the Washington Post
reported last week, normal students are fed up with the
anti-American, anti-white and anti-conservative
dogmas their professors insist on stuffing into
their noodles. The students are revolting, and the
professors, like any
privileged class, don`t much care for it.
The students have formed a group
called
Young Conservatives of Texas, which, among other
wholesome activities, rates the faculty according to the
ideological content of their courses and the degree to
which the teachers inflict their
own opinions on their classes.
It started when, two days after the
9/11 attacks in Washington and New York, one
professor decided to tell his students what terrorism
really is and who practices it—the United States.
Then there`s the course that dwells
on "hatred of
conservatism and
capitalism," and another "accused of
overemphasizing
white oppression," and yet another that focuses
on "inequalities in American gender, race and class,"
and on and on.
The student conservative leader,
Austin Kinghorn, says he`s heard many "complaints
from other conservative students who felt
railroaded by liberal professors."
"On
racial issues, for instance, liberals had harped on
slavery, civil rights violations and ill treatment of
blacks to the extent that `whites feel
guilty for breathing air.`"
[Student
Group Lists Professors It Considers Too Politicized,
By Karin Brulliard, Washington Post, November
24, 2003]
Most of the students who grouse
about this kind of propaganda say the opinions are never
balanced by opposing views. So they got themselves a
little list of professors and evaluated them. It`s
available at the group`s website (http://www.yct.org/)
and identifies 10 professors for what the Post
describes as "using their classrooms to promote
personal agendas and `indoctrinate` students."
The group visits the classes,
analyzes the reading lists of the courses, and offers a
guide to students as to what they can expect from the
instructors the taxpayers have hired to teach their
young.
As noted, the instructors don`t
like it much.
"If professors are constantly
worried about being branded liberal," whimpers the
prof who allegedly
equated Al Qaeda and the United States (he denies
it), "and not just liberal but inappropriately
executing their duties, then it`s going to make people a
little nervous and there`s a self-censorship effect."
Another mutters that "This is
part of a trend of blacklisting us, of making sure that
we know we`re under surveillance. I do worry that what
this is moving towards is some sort of censoring."
Yet another moans, "I`m feeling
like anything is possible. That at some point, someone
can say, `We think you`re
anti-American and we think you should
shut up`—that it`s not appropriate to talk about
these things."
So far, obviously, that hasn`t
happened. But the point is not so much that the students
are always right. They`re not necessarily, and some of
their complaints show no small amount of their own
agenda—like fingering one professor for "criticizing
American foreign policy and the Bush administration."
Some of these kids may just want to hear their own
politics instead of somebody else`s.
The larger point is that the
professors themselves can`t take the heat. After decades
of yelling for "academic freedom" for themselves
and denouncing any whisper of restricting their own
bottomless civil liberties, it turns out what they
really can`t stand is that anyone else exercise any of
the same rights—especially if they`re on the
opposite end.
In fact, the students have done and
said absolutely nothing about "censorship" or
"blacklisting." They`ve simply compiled lists of
professors who say things the conservatives don`t like.
Students can take the courses or
not as they wish, so the jabber about "censorship"
and "blacklisting" is as much flapdoodle as
everything else these frauds have to contribute.
What the students are really doing
is a revolutionary act in itself, a spontaneous and
collective demonstration that
American universities have become politically
entrenched engines for the manufacture of cultural
subversion by the elites that have captured them.
Funded by taxpayers and protected
by tenure, universities today breed an
entire class dedicated to
attacking and undermining white, Western, Christian
and American identities and values.
Like any elite, they denounce all
criticism as "censorship" and "blacklisting."
In the new order the elites are building,
"liberty" is useful only in so far as it yields
power to them.
Their student critics are not only
exposing the
agendas the eggheads are sneaking into their classes
but also forcing the whole egghead class to unmask the
power and privilege that keeps it in business.
The professors are probably right
to be worried—not about "censorship" but about
more and more of the peasants on their plantations
waking up to the truth about the fake "education"
they`re being fed and who`s behind the feeding.
