Social Justice Overtaking Universities
    #26843084 - 07/24/20 05:04 PM (3 years, 6 months ago)

I've noticed a trend in University websites leading with their political positions front and center before even discussing the science they purport to teach.

For examples, Tufts University's Synthetic Biology & Systems Bioengineering homepage looks like so:



And this isn't relegated to just Tufts. It's actually hard to find a mainstream top-tier university which doesn't espouse their political ideology all over their engineering-based homepages.

I'm not sure what to think of this. Looking at Tufts for example. What are they trying to say by declaring "Science is real" or "Feminism is for everyone" exactly? What does Feminism and Black Lives Matter have to do with Synthetic Biology education?

I've also never seen a conservative version of this which proclaimed things like, "Intact Families are Good", "We Support Freedom of Speech" or "All Lives Matter, Including the Unborn".

I'm just sick of politics invading every institution in America.

What say you on the matter?

It is definitely weird. I have nothing against women, or anyone of LGBTQ, and I of course think Black Lives Matter. I never thought they didn't though.

But the universities are going completely overboard with it. To the point where it's almost like they want to systematically brainwash an entire generation into becoming raging, angry SJW's. My niece just enrolled into her freshman year of college and she is now a full blown hardcore SJW preaching to everyone about white privilege when she is the most privileged human arguably of our entire extended family. She has had everything handed to her: 3 cars bought for her by her parents (2 she totaled), her entire way paid into a prestigious university (she threw a fit because her parents wanted her to go to a less prestigious but still large and excellent university by saying that "only the kids who can't cut it go to a school like that; she got her way), she has only worked one part time job in her life (at the Gap) and that was just during the summer, but now all of a sudden she is the foremost expert on climate change, systemic racism, and the LGBTQ community. :lol:

Did you hear about that university in Massachusetts that apologized to their students because they allowed police officers to use their campus restrooms? :rofl:

It's not the business of learning institutions to take a political or religious stance on anything in my opinion. They should instead focus on dispensing information and knowledge to the student. It is on the student to formulate his or her view of the world, not the University.

It's getting so, so ridiculous now. I'm not smart enough to put a name on what's been going on with this country lately, but I know that in the end it will lead to further division in the country. People will end up hurting each other, I can confidently say. The forces behind it all is not one that is looking out for the individual's best interest.

Universities have been taking money from places like China off the books for decades now.  That sort of influence doesn’t cater well to the American way.  I’d like to think people will wake up to just how off the tracks this country is, but with the way it’s looking it’ll all be sold out by the time that happens.

The amount of people asleep in a dream world right now is alarming and most of them can’t seem to be bothered to take a look around because their phone screen tells them everything they need to know as far as they’re concerned.

Feminism isn't for everyone, many women love strong men that dominate their lives. Feminism is for short haired lesbians that are angry with hot girls that get all the men.

Obviously. Look to some extent feminism is necessary to proclaim a persons rights. But when a man Mr Magenta or whoever holds the door for a woman and she says to him "you want to enable me because in your mind I am a little girl that needs assistance and can't do anything without a big strong mans help don't you you chauvinist pig. Death to every penis everywhere." Then you know chivalry has been killed off by these skeez hoes. A lot of those women who claim to hate men constantly take a cock in their ass. Why not be an astronaut and show the world women are equal instead of hating men as a female to try and make the 🌎 world fair for other women? Equality is equality not tipping the scale back in the other direction. Anyone can hold the elevator for anyone its not enabling someone to be a weak character. Would a man be a weak character to let a woman hold the elevator for him? :smirk: let us think about how respect works in multiple aspects

It's all propaganda ....the whole "I believe " BS with nonsensical slogans is candy for weak minded neouniversity enrolled students to cooperate with socialistic system constructs .

No one questions it because of SJW backlash ......they ll damn near beat you down for saying anything against their world view . Fuck em . They hate capitalism . It's just easier to yell and get payed for presuming to care and not really have any empirical experience in real world working situations. And integration with the vast mass populous is very hard for them .....hence the "just get out there and make noise and point fingers at everyone else " attitude .

We believe crap smells like crap, water is wet , gravity exists BS slogans are just that . It's just BS. Don't let it bother you . Its the same kind of people who get pissed you're eating BBQ on the forth of July at YOUR own home in YOUR own back yard and they have the nerve to ask you to stop grilling bc the smell of cooking meat offends them and their ideologies .

You cant fix their level of social intolerances towards you bc  they think you should ironically be tolerant of their ideals but they aren't willing to be accepting of anything you hold Sacred.

see it's a one road , one way thing they have in mind where it's supposed to be in everyone's best interest but they're the ones out of touch . Honestly I think they just do this shit bc they aren't innovative enough to go out and start companies and learn to earn money to support the lifestyles they think they deserve .

So naturally socialist imperatives are attractive .....bc they can keep shoving shit in your face and you're not the victim to them . You're just a problem . But they have major blinders on . And everyone can see it . It's just it fucks with their personal interpretation of themselves soooo drastically denial is just easier ....they probably grow up every day in denial . Well I know they do I mean .

I also think the whole thing is to attract idiots to enroll at their universities that are having low attendance under the guise that "they care" . So some colleges can cast a larger net to generate capital for the university itself while protecting it from riot backlash when any idiot(s) gets triggered about an presumed injustice of any kind . An insurance policy basically .


The university really doesnt give a fuck . The whole country is getting ready to start taking the thought police cock in its ass so they don't have to be called out for being anything that's not of Pc culture standards, job protection basically .

I wish people would just tell SJW to shut the fuck up and go home , we don't give a shit etc .

If I attend college, it will be a smaller community college. Smaller class sizes, more access to the professor, no politics, and an overall better education. I'm not paying to listen to someone else's ideology and be failed when I don't support other people's positions on unrelated matters, I'm paying to essentially be certified in a formal field of study. I don't want to hear about politics in the chemistry lab unless it's about legislation directly related to chemistry.

I know a few people that are getting so fed up with academia that if a prospective employee's degree has a politically charged college name on it, that person is automatically turned down. Something like this falls within the scope of operational risk management (ORM), or risk mitigation, in that someone from one of these colleges is likely to bring in destructive ideas and politics into the work place, rather than be thoroughly educated in their chosen field.

I'm fortunate in that I do not need any higher education, but there are some fields of study that I would like to explore for my own benefit and I would rather attend a college that is going to teach me about organic and pharmacological chemistry, rather than ideology.

College isn't worth the investment anymore unless it's a STEM degree, legal, or medical. People are better off going directly into their career, fresh out of highschool, as an apprentice.

On a lower note:

Rather than getting a few trash bags and cleaning up their local parks or roads, it's easier to scream at people about how the sky is falling and demand their money through legislation.

Rather than start a business and pay employees $15.00/hr minimum wage, it's easier to scream at people about how the sky is falling and demand their money through legislation.

A reason to limit government power.

Mahatma Ghandi said "Be the change you wish to see in the world.", not scream the change you wish to see in the world.

Editing in more.

This politicization of the education system isn't exclusive to college; it starts the moment you entrust your kids to the school. With distant / at-home learning, parents are getting first hand knowledge the material their kids are being taught. I hope people decide they want to keep distant learning as an option, that way parents have much more control over what their kids are being taught and can correct indoctrination before it gets rooted.
