Dr. Anatoli Kaploun, University of Massachusetts Boston, is a professor of Mathematics and also teaches at Bunker Hill Community College. Dr. Kaploun is on the list for abusing his academic freedom by making final exams worth 50% of the grade and mistreating his students. One student said he is "extremely rude and calls the entire class stupid. If you ask a question he will scream at you and humiliate you. [He] makes people stand at the front of the class if they don't get something and embarrasses them." Another student said that not only did he fail almost 70% of the class but he also "forced you to ask a question, but then bit your head off if you did ask him a question. There were forty people in my class at the beginning, but now only five people come to class."

Dr. Andrew Little, a Professor at Cornell University, specifically said that hiring more Republican professors would increase diversity of thought, but would lower the quality of the professor on campus, calling Republicans “anti-intellectual.”

There are a couple entries on the list that imo are actually worthwhile, like profs telling their students or other profs or their representatives to kill themselves on facebook or twitter (there are several of these for some reason)- or even physically attacking students or whatever. But then there's poo poo like this  quote:Rebecca Shumway is a professor at the College of Charleston in South Carolina who specializes in pre-colonial African history, Atlantic world, and the slave trade. She recently made headlines after tearing down Turning Point USA posters on the campus because she found them "offensive." All of this was documented in a series of posts she made to Facebook regarding the Coexist posters where she declared that "she finds it offensive and believe it encourages violence. The guns are the problem." No action has been taken by the administration, yet. The manbabies running the site just cannot stand for someone to yank down their posters that are literally targeting people like her for a watchlist

quote:Dr. Wendy Haggren is a Professor of Biochemistry University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. She, along with her co-instructors, wrote an e-mail to students in her class saying that debating man's role in climate change would not be allowed and that if student's did not fully accept that climate change was occuring and man-made they should not take the course. 1. good, gently caress climate change deniers 2. lol at misspelling "occurring", maybe whoever made this site should've gone to college or somethin

Prof. Jamie Woodson is a professor at Jerkwad University. She repeatedly referred to Charlie Kirk, our founder, as "Charlie Jerk". When asked nicely to stop, she responded "TPUsa more like Toilet Paper USA you guys can suck my lady dick." She later told the TPUSA representative in her class to "Relax" before stating that he should change the name of the organization to "A Bunch of Babies With Poopy Diapers Who Like to Poop in Those Diapers".

He co-taught an American history class which promoted the idea that the Founding Fathers were terrorists. Uhhhh, they were terrorists. It takes like five minutes of research. The Sons of Liberty were the semi-rich upper class and wanted independence to avoid taxation so they rallied the poorer citizens to join their cause. It began by escalating to a civil war. They had an agenda just like any radical group. They're not exempt from being called terrorists just because their actions ended up creating progress. Clearly the guy doesn't mean terrorism by the modern definition, dumb website man. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Apr 30, 2018 |

You're right, but the first thing they did was sabotage the new trade deal so that it would disrupt things for everybody, rich or poor or otherwise. It's not terrorism in the cutting-people's-heads-off sense but it is domestic terrorism because it makes life hell for everyone (involved in the cause or not) to prove a point and get them on your side.

Sincere question imo that's the difference between domestic terrorism and the kind without a qualifier, but it's kind of semantics at that point. Domestic terrorism is easier to start from the inside I think, since the Sons of Liberty were an underground society first and foremost and all. Like I said, they were the people affected by the system more than the ones they rallied to their cause, and it would've been way harder to do that if they were Englishmen wanting to be colonials instead of the colonial side. They already were colonials, so their fellow colony-men saw their side quicker. edit: Or an alternate reading is that they were Englishmen who portrayed themselves as wanting to be colonials, when all they really wanted was freedom from the tax laws. It doesn't really matter, the end result would've been the same with either interpretation of their status. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Apr 30, 2018 |

Conventional warfare is generally considered "lawful" when certain rules are followed. The British would have probably said the founding fathers were terrorists. Boston Tea Party would def be considered an act of eco-terrorism at least according to some fairly vague rear end laws we have on the books today.

Instead of trying to assault the nebulous untargetable cloud of 'white privilege' and trying to tell people who're struggling to live hand to mouth that they're more privileged than a rich black person, you could address the actual problem of income inequality instead of wokely signalling your white guilt

I'm sure some internet people say that dude but that's not the point of recognizing racial inequalities in this country - although yeah the real issue is class and the racism stems from that. Not that you can just address one without the other ofc. But man I'm white and I can drive through any neighborhood I want at any hour and cops won't mess with me and that is absolutely white privilege regardless of my income situation.

[giant headline font]Hometown boy makes good![/giant headline font] Dr. Tobin Shearer is a Professor of African-American Studies at the University of Montana. He argues all statistics showing differences between races (such as economic differences, health differences, etc.) are traceable to systemic racism. In a Youtube video, Shearer says “To be white in America is to claim an identity that attempts to be de-racialized and is predicated upon the receipt of power and privilege simply on one’s appearance: a racialized appearance from the fundamental equations that whiteness equals access to power and privilege based on one’s racial identity.”

What they give a poo poo about is trying to pay their bills. That's a big thing with the visible left tbh. Everyone loves to sling academic terms like "privilege" and "problematic" which comes off as condescending and elitist at best, and just pointless posturing at worst. Yeah, a lot of poors have lovely opinions, if you are going to ease their plight and try to fix the system into something that treats everyone as a human being, you are going to need to get dirty.

your friend a dog posted:I'd bet you that if we eliminated income inequality we'd 'magically' eliminate white privilege too Probably a lot of it, and it wouldn't matter as much anyway if people were more economically self sufficient (for example black owned businesses hiring black people instead of depending on the Walton family to provide jobs for your community). Banks aren't as forthcoming with business loans if you aren't white though (statistically) - can chalk that up to income inequality and some racial bias also imo. Terrorism chat, one final note: I don't think 'terrorist' is inherently a bad word. It definitely carries certain connotations in modern day but really every armed resistance group is called a terror group by someone and context matters. The Nazis considered the French Resistance a terrorist organization for example (and they were!), but that doesn't mean the French people shouldn't have resisted foreign occupation. e: for DS9 fans one group called themselves the Maquis Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Apr 30, 2018 |
