Oh, THOSE 'different ideas'

“It used to be thought that a university campus was a place where you’d be exposed to a lot of different ideas,” DeSantis said during a bill signing ceremony. “Unfortunately, now the norm is, these are more intellectually repressive environments. You have orthodoxies that are promoted, and other viewpoints are shunned or even suppressed.”

"Oh, so you mean like in sociology; you have functionalism, symbolic interactionism, and conflict theory; and now they're only teaching one of those things and not even talking about the other two at all?"
"No, not like that."

"Oh! So in studies of evolution, you mean they're only teaching gradualism OR punctuated equilibrium and not having discussions of both, while they both have merit?"
"Uh... no, we're not talking about that."

"OH! You mean they're stifling the "is the universe explained by quantum mechanics or general relativity" debate in physics and have come down on the side of one and are refusing to talk about the other at all? Those jerks!"
"... no, no."

"OK, so in the college restrooms, they have now cruelly decided to put all the toilet paper under instead of over? Those totalitarians!"
"No!"

"Oh... so by 'different ideas', you mean...

Andrew Torba proclaims that “Christians must support and uplift explicitly Christian leadership in: tech, media, news, entertainment, culture, and politics. No Pagans. No Atheists. No Jews. They can still enjoy the fruits of Christian leadership, rules, nations, and morality; but they can not lead us. No more. Never again.”

Ali Alexander believes that he has prophetic abilities: “I think one of my spiritual gifts is that I am a seer. I do think that is one of my spiritual gifts. I have an uncanny ability to either flirt with prophecy or be endowed with prophecy.”

Finally, Shane Vaughn remains outraged that Democrats are being elected to the U.S. Senate and is now demanding that the 17th Amendment be repealed.


... right?"

Meaningless Blather 101: Class meets for one hour per week (attendance optional) discussing the finer points of utterly absorbing topics such as "Christians should run everything, but not those namby-pamby peace and love Christians." Final exam will count for 100% of the student's grade, and the answer is "God's will." A passing grade will also be recorded for any student who doesn't take the final, as that is God's will, too.

Happy now, God Botherers?

YEAH, that's why they called them LIBERAL ARTS Degrees because you learned to look at MANY ideas and choose the ones you wished to pursue and promote.


AND WHO IS DOING THE REPRESSING? IF you ONLY promote ONE idea and EXCLUDE all others, get a clue DS, it's you.
