  parents who plan on refinancing their homes in order to send their children off to college should instead consider encouraging them to specialize in a trade 
  speaking as a phd in philosophy who has spent the last  years teaching at the college level im perhaps the last person from whom advice of this sort is expected but it is precisely because of my familiarity with academia that i beseech the college bound and their enablersi mean their supportersto revisit their plans 
  whether one regards a postsecondary institution as a means to either a remunerative profession or a genuine education the tragic fact of the matter is that the contemporary academic world is about as politicized a cultural institution as any more specifically it is a bastion of political correctness a decidedly leftist ideology that tolerates no competition 
  for the last  years professor duke pesta who is currently an associate professor of english at the university of wisconsin oshkosh has taught literature at a range of colleges at the outset of each semester he would quiz his students on their knowledge of american and western history what he found is that the overwhelming number of them believed that slaveryan institution mind you that is as old as humanity itself was practiced in virtually every society the planet over and that lasted only some  years in the united states was an exclusively american phenomenon  
  most of my students could not tell me anything meaningful about slavery outside of america pesta told the college fix his students are convinced that slavery was an american problem that more or less ended with the civil war and they are very fuzzy about slavery prior to the colonial era 
  their entire education about slavery he adds was confined to america 
  yet it isnt just students who display an astonishing ignorance of slavery over at boston university saida grundy  an assistant professor of sociology and africanamerican studies tweeted that slavery is a white peoplething 
  grundy didnt stop there she asks is white peoples new deflection from dealing with slavery that all races have had slaves thing is this the new alllivesmatter 
  professor grundy added other enlightening tweets 
  for the record no race outside of europeans had a system that made slavery a personhood instead of temporary condition 
  there is also no race except europeans who kidnapped and transported human beings in order to enslave them and their offspring for life 
  before europeans invented it as such slavery was not a condition that was de facto inherited from parent to child 
  in case white folks couldnt follow the thrust of her rant grundy offers a summation of her sophisticated position 
  in other words deal with your white sht white people slavery is a yall thing 
  in addition to assigning blame for slavery solely to white europeans grundy claimed that white masculinity is the problem for americas colleges 
  over at the university of pittsburgh students who were distributing prodonald trump materials were harassed and attacked  the trump supporters were accused of backing a racist candidate who espouses hate speech they were greeted by chants of fk the white male patriarchy and eventually physical aggression 
  one of the victims said that my campus shouldnt be a place where my friends and i are fearful for having opposing opinions 
  these students were accosted by other students students elsewhere however have had professors with which to contend 
  at the university of california at los angeles ucla a political science professor michael chwe wrote in a blog post for princeton university press that the danger to democracy itself is posed by trump supporters this danger is real and must be confronted chwe maintains that trump and his supporters are the greatest danger to democracy since world war ii even perhaps since the civil war 
  chwe thinks that had we done a better and earlier job with confronting as opposed to accommodating white and male privilegewe might not have reached this situation the trump phenomenon we must set our sights on combatting these forms of privilege now though if we hope to divert democracy away from selfdestruction 
  and it isnt just faculty in the humanities and liberal arts that cant resist injecting their politics into the classroom a math professor at mount holyoke college an allfemale school was recently captured on video launching into an antitrumpproclinton tirade in class while he never referred to either candidate by name peter rosnicks choice for president was plain this election rosnick said is the scariest that hes ever witnessed he told his students that they should vote for someone who thinks women are full and capable and responsible and intelligent beings who should not be the object of um should not be objectified 
  rosnick also prescribed his students to vote for whoever you want but vote for somebody who respects the fact that this is a country built on immigrantsthat this is a country that couldnt that wouldnt be what it is if it wasnt for bringing immigrants into our nation and respecting them and respecting what they bring to our country 
  at least one of rosnicks students was less than enthused over his proselytizing efforts speaking on condition of anonymity this student told the college fix that she found it highly inappropriate for a math teacher to use my class time to try to tell me who to vote for 
  indeed 
  but this unfortunately is hardly an anomaly in  thus parents should think hard before divesting themselves of tens and tens of thousands of dollars so that their children can become targets of political indoctrination
