It is shameful for students to refuse to hear alternative views on controversial topics unless they are afforded mental health services after hearing those views. It is more shameful for universities to indulge them. If the schools told the students to toughen up an that they do not need and will not receive any mental health services for hearing an argument that they in all likelihood fear is right, they will stop asking for it.

For universities, read "expensive day care".

“ the universities have been to the nation as the wooden horse was to the Trojans.”

Our professorate has much to answer for.

My sister is 50. Vermont “educated”. We can’t discuss anything controversial because it “would be too emotional”. She’s a science teacher who STILL believes every Covid lie. We may be doomed.

My sister is 37 and is the same way. She doesn’t want to talk about anything too deep because she feels like it damages our relationship. Mostly because I woke up five years ago and she’s still fast asleep. But the fact that she can’t handle a conversation is very concerning to me.

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble. Why have a conversation when you already know everything about everything?

I could handle that. But the seething condescension kills me.

I know a few that quite possibly have snopes on speed dial. I think of them as the “snopes” brigade. It’s not a conversation, … it’s talk to google! 🤨

I found out the hard way that teachers are among the worst believers. Several otherwise great people seem to believe every lie possible about the scamdemic.

Many teachers are miseducated in indoctrination centers known as schools of education.

yep. Just like many doctors are totally indoctrinated in medical schools subsidized by bigharma. Very little people are able to think for themselves anymore, or discern between what could be true and what most certainly is a lie.

At this point, I think that she knows the truth deep down. But confronting it would be far too painful. So instead, head in the sand.

"She’s a science teacher who STILL believes every Covid lie."

This is so painful to know.

Being a Science Teacher means you're a litle bit Sciencey and a little bit Teachery.

Teachers tend liberal, many full-on DIE/ESG/LGBTOMG, so too often it's Teachery >> Sciencyey. Maybe even >>>.

Yes. She is too despondent to discuss any Covid related matters with me, with students committing suicide and aggressive cancers exploding all around her. Ummm, that’s what I’ve been trying to warn you about sis. But since her opinions are “based on science”, we have nothing to discuss. She turned to Sarah Silverman after the 2016 election. I suggested Thomas Sowell and she looked at me like I had 3 heads…..

I’ve seen the look! I’m now growing a third head to validate it. No, what’s been validated is victimhood. Absent the boldness to shame, we create victims and it’s nothing but lying. Safe spaces and equity are lies created by educational institutions. A few years back they got rid of insane asylums (I remember the names) and now they’re called “universities” and “public schools.” Now, choice words from Sowell:

“Darwinian adaptation to environment applies not only to nature but also to society. Just as you don’t find eagles living in the ocean or fish living on mountain tops, so you don’t find leftists concentrated where their ideas have to stand the test of performance.“

You are on target here! Students shouldn't get to control schools in this way and worse yet, the colleges and Universities should be called to heel for becoming such a fertile ground for placating the whiny brats.

Harry Houdini wrote a pamphlet, 'Houdini Exposes the Tricks', and said, “the more highly educated a man is along certain lines, the easier he is to dupe":

And this section of a Marxist book on Disease Politics published in China in 2013 applies:

13.2 “The Higher the Education Level One Has, the Sillier He Is”

Rural Health Care Delivery

Modern China from the Perspective of Disease Politics

A book I found in a link contained in a Foreign Affairs (leading globalist publication) article I read in 2020:

Past Pandemics Exposed China’s Weaknesses

The Current One Highlights Its Strengths

Foreign Affairs, March 27, 2020

https://web.archive.org/web/20200328050913/https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/china/2020-03-27/past-pandemics-exposed-chinas-weaknesses

Which I believe is desirous of following the template found in the Chinese book to transform us into their vision of an authoritarian global world. A Devious scheme:
