So one of my younger sisters is in college. It’s funny, because she used to be this sensitive, sweet soul who TOTALLY stayed out of controversy. She’s always been a conservative, but some of us in our family have *ahem* bigger mouths and are more vocal about it. She saw the crap I went through in school (losing friends, being targeted by teachers, risking getting booed at graduation, etc.) and probably thought, “Yeah. No thanks.”
That all changed. My sister isn’t getting a political degree. Heck, she’s not even in political classes, but there’s liberal indoctrination at every turn. She quickly figured out that there’s virtually NO TOLERANCE for people who are conservatives. So really, conservative students have two options: They can either shut up and keep their opinions to themselves, or they can challenge the absurdity and prepare to lose friends and friendly faces.
My sister chose the second option. I’m really proud of her. She’s a firecracker now. I joke around and call her “Red Dawn Jr.,” even though that makes no sense because she’s not my daughter but WHATEVER.
She’s now a snowflake slayer, and I love watching her GO. She’s a feisty one. She’s also discovered that you can trigger an entire group of people by doing nothing more than carrying around a Trump lanyard. True story.
ANYWHO. Now you have a little background.
My sister keeps me updated on the liberal absurdity on her campus. I didn’t think it was possible, but it’s SO MUCH WORSE than when I was in school, and it’s not like I’ve been out that long. I graduated at the very end of 2014. Things have really gone downhill over the past 3+ years. You don’t even have to take a political class to get pummeled by the liberal agenda anymore. You just have to be a student.
Check out what she just sent me. Apparently, students have to take 2-hour “Campus Clarity” course before they can sign up for classes. The course supposedly provides a “comprehensive foundation in sexual violence protection, bystander awareness” as well as “sex in college and partying smart.”
This is A Thing now. That alone should be absurd enough. These people are adults, and they need to take a “clarity” course on sexual awareness and consent? Seriously? Look at this crap.
It gets worse. The university decided to use this opportunity to teach students about the complexities of gay and lesbian relationships. I am not making this up.
Cool story bro.
But wait. There’s more. Now it’s time to analyze his relationship, because THAT’S relevant!
Again. This is college. This is a course students have to take. Otherwise, they can’t sign up for classes. They have no choice. This is required.
Now for some questions!
Yeeeeep. This isn’t inappropriate. Nope. Not at all.
Thank GOODNESS students now have a greater understanding of the egalitarian distribution of power in LGBT relationships. This is OBVIOUSLY what higher education is all about.
I know liberals will take my irritation and attribute it to “homophobia” or something ridiculous and inaccurate like that. I assure you, that’s not the case. I have an issue with a university using a ridiculous “campus clarity” course to promote a COMPLETELY UNRELATED political agenda. You can say it’s not political, but I caught the jab in the story. Tom came from a “conservative” town– a “conservative” town that was OBVIOUSLY oppressing him and keeping him from his true self. ‘Cause conservatives are hatey haters who throw gays off rooftops and stuff. Oh wait. Sorry. Wrong ideology! (Can I also add that it’s insulting to subtly suggest that Tom couldn’t thrive in a conservative town or be a conservative, solely because of his sexuality? Conservatism is about COMMON SENSE.)
But now? Tom is liberated!
This is another desperate attempt to normalize the abnormal and promote a specific cultural agenda. They’re so in your face now. It’s ridiculous.
Since we’re playing this game, I think the school should force students to take a 2-hour course on the benefits of the traditional family structure next semester. How do you think that would go over?
Something tells me they won’t be able to “tolerate” that.
PS– when I asked my sister if she had any ideas for a title of this post, she wrote “Why you shouldn’t go to college” or “College makes you dumb” or “Homeschool is the only way.”
Can you tell she’s annoyed?
