Are our intellectuals revolting??

Are our intellectual institutions breeding revolutionaries instead of
preparing our younger generations to become useful balanced
future citizens!
It s noticeable that most of the recent tumoil is starting in places
of higher education! Why is this?
Could it be the top echelons of the management have an alternative
agenda for this country from its present course?
First it was London, then Bristol and now Oxfrord? All places
with large universities and student populations!
Professors etc should be neutral when instilling knowledge in
young impressionable minds, is this the case?
Something is wrong?

Donkeyman! 🤔🤔🤔

Re: Are our intellectuals revolting??

What planet have you been living on DM?! Agree with reg. How is this anything new? Some people here must have lived through the sexual revolution, strikes, greenpeace, bra burning, woodstock, rolling stones, Glam rock, punk, race riots, poll tax riots, IRA, anti war protests. You can't all have been sitting in a greenhouse or eating peas?! I find it funny how now all these causes and revolutions are called "snowflake". They were seen as dangerous and subversive at the time. Honestly, the way some of you go on you'd think people had lived in peace and harmony until 2020!

Maybe there is a simple equation, the higher the IQ, the lower the BT.

Re: Are our intellectuals revolting??

In my opinion, and first hand knowledge, there is no question that many, many professors, especially in the "Social Sciences" are not merely leftists, they are flat out communists.

When I was in university, I had two choices, to either pay lip service to their political radicalism or else flunk out. I'm rather ashamed to admit that I gave in and mimicked the professors. But I did graduate.

My sentiments exactly, that would afford time for unrestricted creative thinking time, in a safe environment.
