College: The Last Bastion of Liberalism

By Ryan Carvano

In this we shall discover that last bastion of the liberal stronghold. This place is a center for the spread of political correctness, and is also the conduit for unfounded progressivism that fuels the Socialist Machine on the left. We've come to recognize this place as a jumping point for our careers, careers that only a capitalistic free market society could make available. However, these places have become a breeding ground for the bacteria of social justice, progressivism. Welcome to college.
     College is, for many of us, the most important stepping stone to finding success in life. Capitalism has made it such a desirable commodity, unfortunately the great and all knowing ivory-tower has a left slant. For years, colleges have been the center of civil/uncivil disobedience during some of the nations most temulteous times. They played such a crucial and positive role in the civil rights movement and in all fairness helped question the U.S involvement in Vietnam. These positive movements have only gone to put a veil over the socialist and communist leanings of the professors. The magnitude of liberal professors has shaped milenials and is being attributed to the rise of BLM and Feminist groups across the country. What these professors are doing seems to be backfiring. New England is home to some of the worlds most prestigious institutions however, it's average liberal to conservative faculty ratio is 26-1! According to the Higher Research institute, 60% of college professors identify as Far-Left in 2014. This is generating a problem for the left wing youth, they have always been told they're right and college professors have only weakened rational and pragmatism among students. Professors have also in at least one way made it better for young conservatives, because the young right students have their opinions pushed to the edge of the cliff. Granted, some conservatives fall off the cliff and into imagination land AKA the Democratic Party of 2017. The other students who hold steadfast to their beliefs become the next Karl Roves, Sean Hannitys and Ben Shapiros. College is like the coming of age for conservatives while liberals act so immature the closest they get to maturity is expiration. Granted however, it is not easy being a conservative in College. In 2016 alone there were numerous incidents in which conservative students and professors were attacked verbally and even physically by the same "pacifist liberals" who are defending social justice. It's ironic that college students are for peace and love while they wage war against the conservative minority on campus. Professors like Daniel Brewster at the University of West Virginia are the epitome of the backwards culture. Daniel Brewster told his students that he would outright fail them if they disagree with him in class. Brewster has offered extra credit to students who showed up at anti-trump and pro-lgbtq events instead of seeing conservative speakers. This action caught the attention of the most fabolous super villain on the internet Milo Yiannopoulos whom proceed to call Brewster the "Fat Faggot" and "Professor Hamburger".
     Now that I've covered the professors, we have to cover the ignorance of the students. If you look at some students on campus it really makes you think about how poor of a job professors are doing. In defense of the professors I must say you can't teach this kind of stupid. I want to bring up the futility, actually no, the hypocrisy of safe spaces on campus therapy culture. Ever since the election of Donald Trump, campuses have entered a mourning period which envelopes the idea of safe space  and therapy culture. The office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs at the University of Michigan offered itself "open space of support" after the Trump victory. Not only this, but minority groups have claimed asylum in the white free depths of a college campuses. Why? Nobody knows, but one can only assume that they burn Paula Deen cookbooks and chastise men for man-spreading. According to the U-Michigan Students4Justive Facebook page the election of Donald trump threaten their iminent safety, the released. “Trump is a product of white supremacy,” their Facebook page outlining the message of the protest states. “White supremacy is responsible. . . The University must place the safety of its students first and foremost. Most of a University’s population now have their lives at risk. The University must protect us with every power it has available.” What's truly amazing about these words is they are completely hypocritical and contrary to what the civil rights leaders fought for. The whole civil rights movement by Reverend King was founded on the principles that rejected the notion of spectate, but equal. Watching this happen is like a social regression of civil liberties that were one by the heroic black leaders of the 60s civil rights movements. Forget the fact that College is enabling this and breeding therapy culture; I'm more irate with the fact that safe-spaces rewind the liberal thought process to Antebellum American. What's ironic is we already had safe spaces and laws for minority students, it was called black on schools and Jim Crow. This milenial idea with rejecting integration is the greatest regression of progress and it is only widening the race divide. 
    College will be the last bastion of liberalism to fall, the new upcoming generation is ripe with liberterians and moderate conservatives who will ideologically combat that illiberal arts professors. The only way we can move forward is through discussion and compromise and not political regression something that is absent in colleges today.
