And the fools that think someone would disagree with man caused climate change just because they "don't believe in science" are the most brain washed of all. Even the current mantra "99% of scientists agree climate change is happening" is such a cheap tactic. All scientists agree climate change is happening, and always has been happening, what they can't agree on is what's causing it, what will happen, if it has stopped(the climate hasn't actually changed the temperature of the earth the past ten years) and if anything could even be done about it. <br /> I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but this is apart of a sophisticated "social engineering" strategy using the infiltration of these areas and changing what they mean in the people's minds. Go to Wikipedia now, it's become completely useless. Look up "racism" and other dividing subjects. It's become an epidemic. Even things like slavery, liberals have the audacity to claim it was liberal values that freed the slaves, and Christianity that was the primary cause of justifying slavery. It's become rediculous. I have no suggestions for improvement, but I have a cure for this problem. People need to be aware it's happening, and expose the people causing this corruption for what they really are. Then, the radical fringes will not control left leaning thought. Right now, people who considered themselves liberal three years ago are now finding themselves hating what these idiots have done with the world.

My father was a professor "back in the day" and I am now 60, so I have watched the whole process unfold. Even in the 1970s when I was being (mis)educated in the US, the process was in full flower. None of the young academics openly opposed to the Vietnam war were offered tenure track positions at my institution. My (mandatory) humanities courses were all taught by members of a 2% religious minority group, with great emphasis on the sufferings of their group over time. Opposing point of view were not allowed. And things are much worse now.

The corresponding one looks like an <br />"outsider" in departmental terms. dtvmcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07594633209626059331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-20666170771323328502015-09-19T04:24:44.977+03:002015-09-19T04:24:44.977+03:00Ideally I'd like would-be scientists to be apo...Ideally I'd like would-be scientists to be apolitical as possible but it's pretty clear any area that touches on politics at all has become an echo chamber. In most of the west the groups that should be the most represented, have no representation at all as the university systems have become clogged with a foreign 'elite' that works hard to keep anyone else from challenging their power.Fiend of 9 worldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712083368615685458noreply@blogger.com
