Ohio GOP supports college overhaul bills to create 'safe space' for conservatives

[RandySF]

Ohio conservatives want “safe spaces” on college campuses, demonstrated by the passing and introduction of controversial legislation meant to overhaul the state’s higher education system.

After hours of hearings and hundreds of people giving testimony, Ohio Republican senators passed Senate Bill 83.

The bill focuses on what GOP calls “free speech,” banning public universities in Ohio from having “bias” in the classroom and limiting what “controversial topics” can and can’t be taught.

“Free from the pressure to agree with a single ideological perspective, which dominates our campuses today,” bill sponsor Sen. Jerry Cirino (R-Kirtland) said.

Ohio State University professor Dr. Pranav Jani says S.B. 83 is dangerous and insulting.

“We don’t simply tell them what to think and then program them,” Jani said. “That’s not how education works these days.”

This bill has everything to do with young people turning away rapidly from the Republican Party, the professor added.

5. Joseph Goebbels trained Buckaroos

Blame your enemy for what you do. “Agree with a single ideological perspective.” “Focuses on free speech.” Incredible fodder for SNL. The only reason conservative spawn of conservatives enter college is to hone their skills to do what they say their enemies do. And at the legislative and judicial levels. They don’t want a productive life in the land of the free. They have no use for freedom. They are whiny bitches too shallow to understand liberty and Justice for all.

9. see how they operate?

repukes cannot entice young folk to embrace their shitty platform, so their way of trying to fix that is to groom youngsters to only be exposed to fear and ignorance

10. A "bubble" if you will...

For ignorance and bigotry.

11. Some of these states are acting

like they think they have the only colleges in the country. Most students look at colleges in a number of atates. States that do this are looking to get crossed off the list.
