So this is how my college university rocks out. Bloomsburg University Professor Wendy Lee decided to put these signs up in the window of her classroom yesterday. What baffles me, is why parents would spend thousands and thousands of dollars just to have their kids indoctrinated with liberal ideology? If you want your kids to not develop their own political beliefs and opinions, to not think for their selves, and to just drink the Jim Jones Kool-Aid, save yourself some mone...y and just have your kids sit at home and watch CNN or MSNBC for eight hours a day.
I was a Marine who completed three combat tours in Iraq. Twice I was wounded and shed my blood for this country. Ironically, one of the rights that men like my brothers and I fought for is Professor Wendy Lee's right to freedom of speech, the right to fly the American Flag upside down, and the right to post these things about our president, Donald J. Trump. To be honest, I'm not even mad or upset. I've become use to seeing, and even have come to expect to see things like this on a daily basis.
However, what worries me more than anything, is that this is suppose to be an academic setting where our children are learning. Part of learning is being exposed to different ideals and beliefs. But when you have a someone in a position of authority and power, like this professor who has tenure, blatantly pushing ideologies, liberal or even conservative, onto our students, I think this is an egregious violation of their position of authority. There is a difference between "teaching" students about various political platforms and ideologies, and "forcing" your own personal views on them thus indoctrinating them." This is partly what is wrong with the society that we live in today....this blatant and flagrant abuse of power.
*EDITED UPDATE: I just want to make it clear that I ABSOLUTELY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY DO NOT SUPPORT NOR ENCOURAGE VIOLENCE in any way, shape, or form, from any and all people who read this post, and may decide to engage in debate on this post. I strongly encourage people to voice their opinions and continue engaging in this debate, no matter which side of the political spectrum you fall on. I'm just asking that you do so in a civilized manner that creates awareness and fosters debate in a healthy setting and healthy environment.
