Topic: Professors Tell Students To Drop Class If You Dispute....

Here is a commercial world version of what this is about:

A company is started up to build cars. Someone applies to get a job with that company.

After joining the staff, they decide that they don't think cars are a good idea.

The car manufacturer tells them "If you are opposed to the idea of cars, get a job somewhere else. We are here to build cars."

I'd side with the car company, myself.


equating education with selling cars...whoa no wonder why the liberals are destroying the world... education is showing all sides of a topic, not just picking what you want to omit because it doesn't flow with your agenda...




You are also ignoring the facts to suit your politics.

Unless the professors were working to prevent ANYONE ANYWHERE from teaching a class that did not fit their ideas, there was no suppression, and no need to "show all sides of the subject."

Since you apparently don't think logic applies to the working world, how about a school-based analogy?

If someone is teaching a course on how to best arm the military, should students taking that class be allowed to spend the bulk of the class time arguing that war is wrong, and that no weapons should be allowed anywhere? Just to make sure of "showing all sides"? I would say logically, no.

But apparently you would differ.


yes, i would... learning comes from within, not just because someone says so... the more they engage each other, the more they want to learn the truth...i know liberals are fine with "because i said so" type teaching, but it's not a teaching technique that is in use, till now... sounds more like hitlers school for the blind...

He needs to get out of teaching.
It's obvious he has lost his passion to teach and learn.
It's amazing the knowledge students have.

Well, you have to admit, no matter what your take on climate problems are, that this makes sense.

If the professors BASED THE ENTIRE CLASS on a certain premise, then allowing that premise to be debated will make the entire class impossible to proceed with.

It's classic old-style left-wing thinking, to declare as people here seem to be doing, that the students should be allowed to dictate the agenda of the courses they are taking, and that whatever the STUDENTS decide is true, is what has to be accepted.

You guys want to go down that "student run university" road you can, but I saw that approach fail every time it's been tried so far.

Besides, if everyone who disagrees with the premise DOES drop the class, and that proves to be the majority of students, the University will discontinue it.



makes me wonder how long since some went to school, there have always been OPTIONS< and if the class is not a mandate, I don't see the big deal


I had to take science and learn evolution, though I believe in creation

liberals are always painted as crybabies,, so is it liberals who have the problem with this optional course?

and students have thousands of choices on what knowledge to expand, no one course or professor should expect to cover everyones beliefs on every topic,,,

Yes you are right.
If you want respect from your students you need to give them respect.
Students will treat you how you treat them.
If you can't gain respect and love from your students in the first two days of having them, don't expect your time with them to be easy.

I know for a fact show anyone respect, love and consideration and you have made a friend for life. Show them the opposite expect an enemy.

true


I really never tried to make friends with teachers though, I went to learn and they were there to teach. Its good there are curriculums to know exactly what a course entails so you can make your own choices though.
