This is post modernism at its worse. This a century long destruction of education. This started with John Dewey, who believed that education is not about gaining knowledge but about groupthink. Everything centers around the group (i.e. society is the standard).

Yet again our colleges and universities are setting the bar as low as possible with their anti-intellectualism. Looking to history the Nazis biggest supporters were Germany’s colleges. Most of the SS were PhD’s. Germany was the most educated society in Europe. And with the Communists, Lenin was an attorney!! These murderous ideas came from intellectual elites. They mangled minds in Germany and Russia. And they will mangle minds here in the U.S.

And the Christian principle of “Hate the sin by love the sinner” is just hate speech. But, for militant homosexuals to protest Churches is okay.

I also don’t like the way PC speech seeks to redefine things. For example, “underpriviledged”. How many “priviledges” is one supposed to have? And “entitlements” instead of “welfare”. What makes anyone think they are “entitled” to free food, etc.?

My biggest problem with PC speech is how it all goes one way.

Sounds to me like a course in Liberal Projection. Because it’s how they feel, and what they do, everyone else must also feel and do it.

They wouldn’t want to live in the same world they’re trying to create for everyone else.

As an English major, I always thought Orwell was too heavy-handed to be taken seriously. Was I wrong. What’s scary is that no one sees this taking shape, and the very people who “love Orwell” in the universities also voted for Obama. Thanks for pointing it out. Academia has turned into an indoctrination machine.
