   What I find most disturbing is that most of the restrictions have been imposed by student unions WITHOUT the University administration or Board of Governors slapping them down.

     And we all know which side of politics they represent, don’t we?
     Gramsci would be proud of ’em.

       Agreed.

       At least it is good that that online magazine is measuring this.

       Maybe they could go even further and get someone to go to each university and stand on the lawn while speaking of the virtues of Israel. Plus marks for supporters coming along, minus marks for leftists shouting him down.

         Or assaulting him, Tranquil. Which would be highly likely.

   It doesn’t surprise me. I heard of a young man attending an early Geography class at a NZ university thinking it would be about geography (Yes, Geography!) and being confronted by a denim clad marxist masquerading as a woman, who expended the first hour’s lecture on international injustices to women. The women she referred to were generally from the West and from academia. Now had he continued the course you would easily imagine that any opinion which was not within the confines of this creep’s lecturing would have been condemned and he’d have received a fail mark.

     I hear it’s now even infesting the “hard” sciences, Cad. God help us.
     And I’m well aware of the large number of females who bask in the honorific of “Dr” are only such by virtue of their being one of the Vagina Mafia, recycling that crap endlessly in variations of post-modernist Newspeak.

   If this study was done in America, I’ll wager a majority of our colleges would be found to have speech codes and the rest of the Leftist PC bullshit package.

   So it’s no surprise that Americans are rethinking the college education thingy, as the tuition has risen to levels never seen before on this planet. Yes, our generous federal government will see to it that any student, no matter what level of ability, will receive a student loan to get the degree. This leaves former students in the chains of slavery to the federal government until loans that average over $100,000 are repaid.

   Thus every year thousands of majors in The Middle Ages and History graduate with B.A.s that render them unemployable in the real world. Also, they discover that one can’t declare bankruptcy and dump the student loan, as it comes from the friendly federal government always willing to take a percentage of that big minimum wage paycheck from Starbucks, Walmart and Target…until the loan is repaid in 2050.

   Therefore, that humble job as carpenter, where a few years experience makes one more money than a college professor, doesn’t look so bad Also, no student loan is necessary to learn the trade, just working along side an experienced carpenter for a few years to learn the vocation.

   Of course, for those who really, REALLY want that B.A. in The Middle Ages, Art and History while making the big bucks as a carpenter, there are online college courses hosted by respectable colleges at a faction of the tuition and no classroom experience required. Also, no time limit.

   Best of all: NO FUCKING SPEECH CODES AND LEFTIST PC BULLSHIT while going to the online college
