It’s A Shame

Political Correct University Silenced

There was a time when University and Colleges were places where diverse opinions were openly welcomed and discussion was heard but now I hear silence from too many zones. Recently I was told by my daughter that her Professor won’t even talk to individuals who support/supported President Trump because of his disdain for such individuals. This professor compares such individuals as those that voted for Hitler. Yes he actually used the Hitler phrase.  My daughter is afraid to speak out and risk getting a poor grade and/or be ostracized by others so she pretends she’s someone she’s not. I thought bullying was a bad thing but when it comes to group think on colleges and universities it’s too much of a common trend.  What do you think should be done? How do we bring back civil discussions that allow for free and open debate and isn’t that the purpose for education in the first place.
