We must hold colleges and universities accountable for the liberal bias they are allowing to take over their campuses. Students deserve a safe, fair place to decide who they are and what they believe in for themselves. Professors should teach how to think not what to think. https://t.co/ep9iKrV8gJ

When we were all growing up and going through college, that’s when YOU found the power of your voice. That’s when you decided how you think and what you think and all that. Now it’s gotten to where colleges and universities, they don’t teach you how to think, they teach you what to think. And there was just a study that UNC did and I think it found 67% of students found themselves censoring themselves and when they’re so fearful to speak out because it will hurt their grade or they’ll be ostracized within their classes, you’ve got a real problem. Colleges and universities are there to allow people to figure out who they are. So, I think we haven’t been loud enough on this. We are working with college reform groups right now. And I think that colleges and universities need to be held accountable from the standpoint of: you’re there to teach, let the students decide where they fall.
BINGO! Haley hits the nail on the head when she rightly says colleges should teach students how to think, not what to think. But this problem is not limited to colleges and universities. This problem is also occurring in K-12 throughout America. We can see it in forcing transgenderism on kids. We also can see it under the guise of “social-emotional learning”. If we are to take back the culture from leftists and the political correctness police, then that needs to start in the education system.
It is not helpful to society to create an environment in which people are afraid to speak. Colleges and society as a whole should be about the free exchange of ideas and thoughts. This is how we best solve problems. Right now, that expression is greatly suppressed due to fear and cancel culture. This suppression is not creating more unity and peace in society. In my opinion, everyone repressing their real thoughts and opinions is making us more divided and angry with one another.
Last night on MSNBC, Rachel Maddow sat down with Elizabeth Warren.
“I think there’s a feeling that your campaign ending is very specific to you and it also feels a little bit like a death knell in terms of the prospects of having a woman president in our lifetimes,” Maddow said.
Warren gasped, saying, “Oh God, please no. That can’t be right.”
Warren’s correct in saying that can’t be right. Because it’s not. Does Maddow forget that Hillary was the nominee last time and half the country voted for her? Obviously this go around there is no chance for a female president. Warren, Gillibrand, Harris, Gabbard, and Klobuchar have all failed. But not because they’re women. It’s because their ideas were batcrap crazy and they were all bad candidates for one reason or another.
Why do I bring this up? Because I firmly believe we will have a female president in the near future.
Every time Nikki Haley speaks, she impresses. Seeing Nikki Haley conduct herself as our ambassador to the United Nations and hearing her address the issues on college campuses, I am very hopeful that I am looking at someone who very well might be the first female president of the United States. She is an engaging, tough, accomplished, smart woman.
