The document argues that American universities are biased towards neo-liberalism and indoctrinate rather than educate students. It claims that the majority of professors openly admit to liberal bias, and that this undermines critical thinking. Several studies are cited showing that over 80% of professors identify as liberal and would discriminate against conservative colleagues. The document argues this liberal bias extends across many fields and results in censorship of non-liberal ideas. It contends universities have been infiltrated by communist and fascist ideologies since the early 20th century, and are no longer focused on open inquiry but on promoting a politically correct agenda.
This document discusses the intersection of disability and queer identity development for students. It notes that LGBTQ students with disabilities face discrimination that can negatively impact their identity development and success in college. Creating partnerships between queer resource centers and disability services is one strategy to create a more welcoming environment. While these students have similar developmental concerns to other students, they also have unique challenges due to societal oppression related to their sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, and the intersection of these identities. The document reviews literature on LGBTQ and disability identity development theories and the lack of research specifically on the intersection of these identities. It concludes that identity development occurs over time in a fluid process for both LGBTQ and disability identities.

This document discusses issues with ideological diversity in the field of sociology. It argues that sociology tends to be partisan with more sociologists holding left-wing views. This lack of diversity raises concerns about discrimination and confirmation bias. When viewpoints are not represented, it limits the data, topics, and arguments considered. This is bad for science as it prevents sociologists from gaining access to relevant information and perspectives outside their own. The document examines how biases like actor-observer bias, framing effects, and moral foundations theory further constrain the understanding achieved in sociology due to this lack of ideological diversity.
This document provides a literature review of academic critiques of post-feminism. Several theorists are discussed who largely view post-feminism negatively as a backlash against second-wave feminism. They argue post-feminism has been proliferated by media portrayals of empowered women and a focus on their bodies. Critics assert post-feminism has been institutionalized, particularly through education, to present feminism as outdated and install a new "sexual contract" for women focused on work and consumerism. The literature reveals shared views that post-feminism undermines feminist goals of equality, but definitions remain ambiguous despite common critiques.
Political psychology analyzes political behaviors and decisions through psychological theories and research methods. The document discusses several key aspects of political psychology:
1. It has evolved through different theoretical perspectives over time, from personality theories to attitudes/voting behavior to information processing.
2. It draws from major areas of psychology like social cognition, emotions, communications, and more recently biology.
3. Research methods include surveys, experiments, and combinations for both internal and external validity.
4. The field aims to explain political behaviors that seem irrational, like scandals, by investigating cognitive and social psychological factors beyond purely rational or self-interested explanations.
This document discusses whether sociology can be considered a science. It outlines different perspectives on what constitutes science, including the hypothetico-deductive method, inductive logic, and Thomas Kuhn's idea of scientific paradigms. Positivists argue sociology can be scientific by discovering social laws through empirical observation and testing hypotheses, while interpretivists believe it cannot be objective or produce controlled experiments like the natural sciences. Realists argue sociology is similar to some natural sciences in studying open rather than closed systems. The document does not take a definitive stance, but explores various philosophical arguments around defining and establishing sociology as a science.
This document discusses the debate around teaching creationism versus evolution in public schools. It argues that banning creationism from school curricula discriminates against the 44% of Americans who believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible's creation story. While evolutionists claim their theory is not a religion, some scientists acknowledge parallels between evolution and religious faith. The document concludes that allowing creationism as a separate elective course could find common ground while respecting all beliefs.

This study investigated the moral stereotypes that liberals and conservatives hold about themselves and each other. The researchers found:
1) Across the political spectrum, moral stereotypes about "typical" liberals and conservatives correctly reflected actual differences in how strongly each group endorsed different moral values, but exaggerated the magnitude of these differences.
2) Contrary to theories of stereotyping, the moral stereotypes were not just simple underestimations of the outgroup's morality - both liberals and conservatives exaggerated the ideological extremity of moral concerns for their own group as well as the outgroup.
3) Liberals were the least accurate about the moral values of both liberals and conservatives. Moderates were generally the most accurate in their

Liberalism's core political values of individualism, individual freedoms, and primacy of individual rights emerged in response to religious conflicts in Europe. However, these values are based on the flawed premise of individualism, which views humans as isolated from their social contexts. This has led to increasing social problems in liberal societies as evidenced by research. Liberal values do not promote social cohesion and have been linked to rising rates of issues like crime and family breakdown. An alternative is needed that recognizes the social nature of humans and aims to foster strong, well-functioning communities.

Liberalism & its Effect on Society an Introduction by Hamza Andreas TzortzisAbdullah Bin Ahmad
1. Liberalism emerged in response to specific historical circumstances in Europe, namely religious conflicts between Catholicism and Protestantism. The theorists who developed Liberalism's core values of individualism and rights did so as a temporary solution rather than through rigorous philosophical inquiry.
2. Liberalism's foundation of individualism has been criticized as philosophically flawed because it views humans as isolated from their social contexts and obligations, which does not align with reality.
3. Modern Western societies that embrace Liberal values are exhibiting increasing social problems, indicating Liberalism's values may be contributing to social breakdown rather than cohesion. Research shows the values a society propagates can influence its members' behaviors.

The Effects of 19th Century Scholarship on Islam 35
Keep in mind as you read the following: as soon as you have read it and thought about it, we should meet to talk about your plans for revising. I think you have almost everything you need here for an excellent capstone project, but it needs more structure. That's what I have talked about below. Only after the structure is revised will I also work on some places where the English is awkward or the quotations don't exactly fit….
My biggest concern is the connection (or lack thereof) between the part of the paper that talks about scholars and the part that talks about anti-Muslim polemicists with no real claim to scholarly credentials. These two things seem very different to me. So the first thing I want to know is, What do you think connects them? How would you explain that connection to someone who is just beginning to study negative stereotypes of Muslims?
I can think of two ways that the paper might hold together better and the argument might be more coherent. First, instead of going from discussion of 19th-century scholarship to modern non-scholarly polemic, you could find and analyze some late 20th- or early 21st-century scholarship that shows the continuing influence of the 19th-century biases. For example, there are exchanges between Said and Bernard Lewis that are very interesting: see http://www.nybooks.com/articles/1982/08/12/orientalism-an-exchange/
Also interesting: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2004/06/14/lost-in-translation-3
I'm sure you could find much more material along these lines—scholars who are still essentializing Islam and Muslims in ways that reveal the continuing influence of the 19th-century scholarship.
Alternatively, you could re-structure the paper and make a rather different argument. Is it possible to think of western anti-Islamic discourse as having three (broad!) phases?
1. Early/medieval/into early modern period. People don't know much about Islam or Muslims. They are infidel, and often dangerous infidel at that, but they are not necessarily worse than other kinds of enemies. As you say, there is a kind of confidence in the Christian world about the self-evident nature of their faith. There are not, in short, "religions", but rather one legitimate faith and then a lot of different kinds of pagans and Jews. (This could be a very brief introduction.)
2. The formation of the field of "Religious Studies" or "Comparative Religion." Claims about Islam are biased, and the bias is more pernicious because it is cloaked as "science". European scholars are still absolutely convinced of their own superiority, which they take for granted in their so-called "science." But they also don't feel particularly threatened by Muslims or Islam, and therefore don't get really nasty. Except for Saraswati, who IS in this period. But Saraswati is not in the West, is he? What experienc ...
The document discusses the decline of classics and humanities in universities over time. It notes that even among intellectuals there is anti-intellectualism. Universities have diminished the role of classics and humanities and see them as luxuries rather than core parts of an education. They are now often framed as developing transferable skills rather than being essential areas of study.

BEYOND TOCQUEVILLE, MYRDAL, AND HARTZ:
THE MULTIPLE TRADITIONS IN AMERICA
ROGERS M. SMITH Yale University
A nalysts of American politics since Tocqueville have seen the nation as a paradigmatic "liberal
democratic" society, shaped most by the comparatively free and equal conditions and the
Enlightenment ideals said to have prevailed at its founding. These accounts must be severely
revised to recognize the inegalitarian ideologies and institutions of ascriptive hierarchy that defined the
political status of racial and ethnic minorities and women through most of U.S. history. A study of
the period 1870-1920 illustrates that American political culture is better understood as the often
conflictual and contradictory product of multiple political traditions, than as the expression of
hegemonic liberal or democratic political traditions.
Since the nation's inception, analysts have de-
scribed American political culture as the preem-
inent example of modern liberal democracy, of
government by popular consent with respect for the
equal rights of all. They have portrayed American
political development as the working out of liberal
democratic or republican principles, via both "liber-
alizing" and "democratizing" socioeconomic changes
and political efforts to cope with tensions inherent in
these principles. Illiberal, undemocratic beliefs and
practices have usually been seen only as expressions
of ignorance and prejudice, destined to marginality
by their lack of rational defenses. A distinguished line
of writers, from Hector St. John Crevecoeur in the
eighteenth century and Harriet Martineau and Lord
Bryce in the nineteenth century to Gunnar Myrdal

This document discusses values and ethics in sociology research. It outlines the positivist view that sociology should be objective and value-free like the natural sciences. However, others argue this is unrealistic as researchers are inevitably influenced by their own values and motivations. The document also discusses whether truly neutral research is possible given factors like who funds the research and the personal interests of researchers. It concludes by considering perspectives like committed sociology that believe research should not remain neutral and should aim to change society in some way.
This document provides information for a course on the history of the Black freedom movement from 1955 to the present. The course will be taught by Dr. Sundiata Keita Cha-Jua and will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-10:50 AM in classroom 159 of Altgeld Hall. The course will explore the strategies and impacts of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements through an analysis of primary sources and theoretical frameworks. Students will complete written assignments including papers analyzing primary documents and conducting original research. The goals of the course are to examine how the Black freedom movement transformed African Americans' status and to assess ongoing issues of racial oppression.
This document provides summaries of several articles in the April 2011 volume of the Journal of Democracy. The articles discuss topics such as:

Universities as Communities of Young Scholars and Inquirersnoblex1
In the 1970's and 1980's, students, even incoming first-year students, were considered moral arbiters at universities: they sat on the most sensitive committees (regulations, by the way, that I doubt anyone bothered to change formally to reflect the new infantilization of students); they destroyed most of the in loco parentis functions of the university; they freed women from paternalistic special protections, and, to put it in its mildest terms, they lectured a faculty intimidated by them, and, above all, an administration intimidated by them, on what it was to be human, to be progressive, and to be useful to society.
Generally unopposed by administrations uncertain of their own moral and actual authority, students swept away the specific restraints placed upon their voluntary behaviors and made the in loco parentis role of universities seem like some embarrassing vestige of the 19th century.
Rather than arguing for their political beliefs in voluntary, open, unprivileged forums, "teach-ins" and lectures such as those held on the Vietnam War then, the heirs of the sixties, now in power, have institutionalized their views in the in loco parentis role of universities, and they have made their ideological analysis of American society, gender, and oppression the official secular religion of academic life.
Most undergraduates, in this view, enter universities inadequately aware of the effects of American "racism, sexism and heterosexism" on their psyches, their behavior, and the society and its "victims" around them, a set of phenomena that those morally superior and no doubt deeply insightful adults who report to various Deans or Vice-Provosts for Student Life must define and explain to them.
The phenomenon known by Marxists as "false consciousness" (what could workers know, compared to intellectuals and ideologues, about what workers objectively should want?), and the Leninists used the concept to justify the dictatorship of the Bolshevik party - since the workers, of course, inconveniently did not agree with the Bolsheviks about their real interests - over a working class that was deemed not only a victim of capitalism but of its own false consciousness.
As the doctrine now is taught to "facilitators" for variously named programs of "diversity and multicultural education" at hundreds of colleges and universities (for the generation of the Sixties certainly learned how to network), "false consciousness" is labelled "internalized oppression" - most easily identified by the tendency to reject the Administration's view of reality - and "internalized oppression" is judged to be a particularly insidious means and product of American oppression.
While countless courses in the official curriculum undertake to enlighten students about the unjust ways of their society and the official, politically orthodox views they ought to hold, this is not enough.

This document summarizes and critiques points made in a report by Mr. Earl regarding the tax-exempt status of the League for Industrial Democracy (LID). It makes the following key points:
1) The LID began as the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, a purely educational discussion group not committed to any political party or doctrine. It stimulated constructive thinking on social issues.
2) Mr. Earl selectively quotes from old LID publications to portray an imbalanced view. The LID is not responsible for all opinions expressed at forums it sponsors.
3) The LID's educational conferences discussed important issues like welfare states and involved experts from different fields. Mr. Earl again selectively quotes out of context to
The document discusses identity politics and its role in academia from a postmodern perspective. It covers several key topics:
- Identity politics refers to political positions based on social identities like gender, race, class, etc. It shaped the divisions between communist and capitalist blocs after World War 2.
- Philosophers like Marx, Foucault, and others influenced how identity is understood. Foucault was critical of universal metanarratives and viewed them as tools of oppression.
- Postmodernism challenged academic standards and hierarchies. It promoted a more student-centered approach in education theory.
- The document outlines the three waves of western feminism and some of the important events and developments
This document provides an overview of political psychology as a field of study. It discusses how political psychology explores the relationship between political science and psychology by examining how political institutions influence and are influenced by human behavior. The document outlines some of the major thinkers in political psychology, such as Machiavelli, and how their work examined human nature and strategies for maintaining power. It also summarizes recent trends in political psychology, such as the incorporation of neuroscience and genetics research. The purpose of political psychology is to understand the reciprocal relationship between politics and psychology to better explain political phenomena through a psychological lens.

Chapter 3
The Central Frames
of Color-Blind Racism
The master defense against accurate social perception and change is al-
ways and in every society the tremendous conviction of Tightness about
any behavior form which exists.
— John Dollard, Class and Caste in a Southern Town
If Jim Crow's racial structure has been replaced by a "new racism,"
what happened to Jim Crow racism? What happened to beliefs about
blacks' mental, moral, and intellectual inferiority, to the idea that "it is
the [black man's] own fault that he is a lower-caste ... a lower-class man"
or the assertion that blacks "lack initiative, are shiftless, have no sense of
time, or do not wish to better themselves" 1 ; in short, what happened to
the basic claim that blacks are subhuman? 2 Social analysts of all stripes
agree that most whites no longer subscribe to these tenets. However, this
does not mean the "end of racism," 3 as a few conservative commentators
have suggested. Instead, a new powerful ideology has emerged to defend
the contemporary racial order: the ideology of color-blind racism. Yet,
color-blind racism is a curious racial ideology. Although it engages, as all
ideologies do, in "blaming the victim," it does so in a very indirect, "now
you see it, now you don't" style that matches the character of the new
racism. Because of the slipperiness of color-blind racism, in this chapter, I
examine its central frames and explain how whites use them in ways that
justify racial inequality.

Chapter 3
THE FRAMES OF COLOR-BLIND RACISM
Ideologies are about "meaning in the service of power." 4 They are expres-
sions at the symbolic level of the fact of dominance. As such, the ideolo-
gies of the powerful are central in the production and reinforcement of
the status quo. They comfort rulers and charm the ruled much like an
Indian snake handler. Whereas rulers receive solace by believing they are
not involved in the terrible ordeal of creating and maintaining inequal-
ity, the ruled are charmed by the almost magic qualities of a hegemonic
ideology. 5
The central component of any dominant racial ideology is its frames or
set paths for interpreting information. These set paths operate as cul-de-sacs
because after people filter issues through them, they explain racial phe-
nomena following a predictable route. Although by definition dominant
frames must misrepresent the world (hide the fact of dominance), this
does not mean that they are totally without foundation. (For instance, it
is true that people of color in the United States are much better off today
than at any other time in history. However, it is also true — facts hidden
by color-blind racism — that because people of color still experience sys-
tematic discrimination and remain appreciably behind whites in many
important areas of life, their chances of catching up with whites are very
slim.) Dominant racial frames, therefore, provide the intellectual road

American Universities Are Failing to Create Critical Thinkers
1. American Universities Are Biased Towards Neo Liberalism
Joshua Hawley 11-16-2016 FRSH 1200
If a University only teaches from a liberal view point how can it create unbiased thinkers? If the
majority of tenured and non-tenured professors at University admit liberal bias how can such
institutions even be considered academic? Moreover how can that University call itself an
institution of education? Has the University system in the United States been hijacked by the Far
Left Liberal ideology? Is the American System of Education at the University level more about
indoctrination than education? The fundamental basis for critical thinking lies in the ability to
rationally discriminate viewpoints based on logic and facts. It appears logic, reason, facts, and
rational argument is no longer prized at the American University level. It has instead been
replaced by Political Correctness and Far Left Leaning Politically Correct doctrine.
In fact I would argue that Neo Liberalism is in actuality symptomatically Fascism, and very
closely resembles Communist Bolshevism. As Julius Carey points out here: “The left has
perverted the liberal idea of tolerance by combining it with the perverse politics of identity and
power. Too afraid of being labeled racists by campus radicals, the liberals have largely given up
fighting for their own professed principles: democracy, equality under the law, equality of
political rights and the rule of law.”-How did Liberalism on Campus turn into Intolerance and
Censorship? Julius Karey 12/23/15
It is my strong contention that the McCarthy era policies of the FBI and Attorney General’s
office did not do enough to effectively end Communist/Bolshevik infiltration into American
institutions, particularly American Colleges and Universities as identified by the ‘Overman
Committee as early on as 1919.’ - Bolshevik propaganda. Hearings before a subcommittee of the
Committee on the judiciary, United States Senate, Sixty-fifth Congress, third session and
thereafter, pursuant to S. Res. 439 and 469. February 11, 1919, to March 10, 1919"
While the Overman Committee and later on the McCarthy era system investigated political
institutions they failed to identify how wide spread this political subversion and machination had
already taken hold in academic institutions. This is most clearly demonstrated by Communistic
indoctrination into sciences as far ranging as Paleoanthropology, as I will point out below in
reference to Michael Cremo’s work, and avoidance or altogether abnegation of critical thinking
processes and facts that take into account evidence and hard data opposed to that of the Neo
Liberal/Bolshivist/Communist/Socialist doctrine. This type of subversion is extremely
symptomatic of the early Bolshevik indoctrination programs of Leninist and Stalinist Soviet
Union and Socialist/Communist education systems, and even predates to the early German
Fascist political systems that predated World War I as hinted to by the findings of the Overman
Committee. The de facto Left leaning of American Universities and in fact Western Universities
in general is proven by peer reviewed ‘sociologists Neil Gross and Solon Simmons who found
that 80 percent of psychology professors at elite and non-elite universities are Democrats.’ –
Professors and Their Politics, Volume 121, Number 3 | November 2015, Neil Gross, Solon
Simmons.
2. Psychologists Yoel Inbar and Joris Lammers in their September 2012 Study found that: “In
decisions ranging from paper reviews to hiring, many social and personality psychologists admit
that they would discriminate against openly conservative colleagues.” - Political Diversity in
Social and Personality Psychology, Yoel Inbar/ Joris Lammers, Perspectives on Psychological
Science September 2012 vol. 7 no. 5 496-503
Out of 800 professors surveyed in Inbar and Lammers study only 6% total identified as
conservative. This is distinct from the general population outside academia who identify
approximately as 40% conservative. The study found that conservatives fear identifying
themselves openly as conservative, it also said that conservatives consistently fear negative
consequences from their liberal colleagues by either favoring or identifying with conservative
ideas or processes. This in turn translates to the student body of most major Western Campuses
wherein Conservatism has been demonized to such an extent that Liberals now openly advocate
violent opposition to Conservative movements.
In fact as Gross and Simmons point out in their paper The Social and Political Views of
American Professors, the data going back as early as 1950 suggests that American Academia has
been Left Leaning for over half a century, by as much as 80% of the total tenured and non-
tenured professors in American Universities.
This large percentage of Left leaning professors in American and Western Academia no doubt
influences student academic output as already demonstrated by Inbar and Lammers who pointed
out that Professors who identify as conservative live under fear and do not openly express their
views due to intimidation and social castration within the institutional hierarchy. So too, for
students in American Universities who are under pressure to perform academically will quickly
find out how biased their left leaning professors are when they submit articles or papers that
counter the Neo Liberal Politically Correct View of history, politics, economics, sociology and
psychology. This absurdity extends to hard sciences like Archeology, Anthropology, and indeed
even Theoretical Physics, wherein data that is not relevant to political doctrine is tossed in favor
of sometimes less evidence or completely thrown away in favor of the popular Liberal bias.
It is my opinion that the Left outright teaches and reinforces Confirmation Bias by regularly
tossing out, seeking to discredit and mock any idea that does not further their Leftist agenda.
Nowhere is this more evident than at the American University and College institutions. This kind
of Cognitive Bias based on emotional reasoning and inductive logic fails to take into account
data that does not model or reinforce their ideology and is either disregarded as irrelevant or not
taught at all.
In 1993 Michael Cremo and Richard L. Thompson published a book called Forbidden
Archeology. In this book they detailed over 900 pages of strongly documented evidence that
strongly suggests, based on fossil records, and historical data that man did not evolve from apes
but has been coexisting alongside apes for millions of years. In spite of strong scholarly
acceptance and globally noted peer review, the official doctrine taught at the University level
continues to favor Darwinian Theory which was originally strongly advocated by Leftist
Professors as a system of thought that supports Communist Constructs.
3. ‘In a twenty-page review in Social Studies of Science, Jo Wodak and David Oldroyd describe the
book's argument: Early paleoanthropologists, in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth,
interpreted much empirical information as evidence favoring the existence of human beings in
the Tertiary period (about 65.5 million to 2.6 million ago). But starting from about the 1930s,
paleoanthropologists turned to the view that human beings first evolved in the next era, the
Pleistocene (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago). The older evidence, Cremo and Thompson say,
was never shown bad; it was just reinterpreted in such a way as to rule out tertiary humans. So
what Cremo and Thompson have done is "comb the early literature in great—indeed
impressive—detail"[6]:196 and argue, on the basis of their historical study, "that the old
arguments were never satisfactorily disproved and should be reconsidered with open minds".
Wodak, Jo; David Oldroyd (1996). "'Vedic Creationism': A Further Twist to the Evolution
Debate". Social Studies of Science. SAGE. 26: 192–213.
This 1930’s timeline that Wodak and Oldryd point out, mirrors the same period of documented
Bolshevik infiltration into American Politics and Institutions. It is a fundamental characteristic of
Communist/Socialist Doctrine to eliminate any evidence of God, The Absolute, Divinity of Man,
or any kind free thinking forms, from social, political, economic and educational systems. The
ultimate goal of Communist Doctrine is of course that the State is the Ultimate Reality. And in
the case of Bolshevistic Communism the Political Elite obtain a kind of Demi God status within
the State Institutions. Nowhere is this more clearly demonstrated currently than in the United
States where corrupt political leaders are cheered by Neo Liberal Biased Media, and promoted
by Neo Liberal Biased Professors who in turn incite their students to censure opposing opinions
and in extreme cases call to violence to riot and loot on the justification of being Politically
Correct. In reality this is Fascism.
So this really begs the question; have Neo Liberal Politics taken over serious academic research
at the University level? And to what extent are students of Western Universities indoctrinated
versus educated? According to Richard Paul on the state of critical thinking today:
“Sadly, studies of higher education demonstrate three disturbing, but hardly novel, facts:
Most college faculty at all levels lack a substantive concept of critical thinking.
Most college faculty don’t realize that they lack a substantive concept of critical thinking,
believe that they sufficiently understand it, and assume they are already teaching students
it.
Lecture, rote memorization, and (largely ineffective) short-term study habits are still the
norm in college instruction and learning today.”
-The State of Critical Thinking Today, Richard Paul, Fall 2004
Bernard Goldberg points to the most disconcerting facts in the face of Neo Liberal bias at the
University level. To what extent are we going to allow attacks on White Males based on the
Liberal narrative of Political Correctness, simultaneously condone those attacks by endorsing by
media coverage, failing to condemn such attacks by our highest elected leaders, and allowing
Professors at Universities like Rutgers to continue their Tenure in spite of such extraordinarily
4. incendiary remarks? It is important to point out in this discussion that whenever we talk about
Liberal Bias it has to extend to the media. Tim Groseclose, a UCLA political scientist led a study
that proves the media is biased to the Left. –Media Bias is Real, UCLA Study, Tim Groseclose,
Quarterly Journal of Economics, December Addition 2005.
We cannot expect that the media will even cover news stories that prove Left Wing Liberal bias
on American Colleges and University Campuses will ever be told! What is happening is that
Liberal Bias allows for Politically Correct Racism and justifies violence against rational, and fact
based opposition to the Neo Liberal narrative. The kind of Racism that targets white males. And
that kind of racial bias is perfectly exemplified by Rutgers University Professor, Brittney
Cooper, who teaches in the Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies department. She
stated in a Salon.com article: “Another young white guy has decided that his disillusionment
with his life should become somebody else’s problem,” she wrote. How many times must
troubled young white men engage in these terroristic acts that make public space unsafe for
everyone before we admit that white male privilege kills?” As Bernard Goldberg points out: ‘Not
only is this clearly racist, it’s academically lame. This is what the professor left out of her rant:
“In 2013, Aaron Alexis, killed 12 people at the Washington D.C. Navy Yard. He’s black.
In 2007, Seung-Hi Cho killed 32 at Virginia Tech University. He’s Asian.
In 2004, Chai Vang killed six hunters in the woods of Wisconsin. He’s also Asian.
And in 2009, Nidal Hasan, a Muslim, murdered 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas.”- Liberal
Intolerance on Campus, pg.2 Bernard Goldberg May 18, 2016.
We seriously have to question a system that allows this kind of overt racism targeted towards
white males and yet considers this acceptable because it is ‘Politically Correct’!
“What if the white professor had written a piece about the never ending slaughter in black
neighborhoods — by black killers? What if she had written: “Another young black has decided
that his disillusionment with his life should become somebody else’s problem. How many times
must troubled young black men engage in these terroristic acts that make public space unsafe for
everyone before we admit that black males are dangerous human beings?” Liberal Intolerance on
Campus, pg.3 Bernard Goldberg May 18, 2016.
Can you imagine the outrage that would be expressed by her Neo Liberal colleagues if she had
made such a statement? Can you imagine the Neo Liberal media blitz that would undoubtedly
throw her into the National spotlight? And the subsequent token justified riots, looting,
vandalism and assaults on whites that would no doubt take place as a justified response in this
Neo Liberal Politically Correct environment! And ultimately the University would force her to
resign! Ha! That would never happen, considering that Neo Liberalism strongly favors feminism.
It would have to be quietly swept under the rug because as a minority she does not fit the
narrative. However if it were a White Male professor it would be another story. And if it were a
black male professor it would also be an anomaly not to be discussed. As in the case of ‘the
country's leading African American historian, Duke University professor John Hope Franklin,
who records that in New Orleans over 3,000 free Negroes owned slaves, or 28 percent of the free
