Do social justice courses have any place in college?

A private college can offer classes in whatever it wants. Whether they should or shouldn't is up for debate, sure, but until the people running shit accept some truths that they currently don't seem willing to, classes like this are the least of people's worries.

When courses purposefully go against the facts in order to distort reality and push BS like "rape culture" etc. it becomes everyone's problem of top priority.

These students will graduate and poison society with such twisted thinking, plus they will use make-believe facts to influence political and social sphere. This will create tensions.

Not to mention the product of dishonest teaching is a dishonest person that does not care about facts.

It's not the specific classes, it is what they can lead to. A new generation of whiny SJW's. I realize some people think it's not a big deal and we certainly have more pressing issues in this country, but to me it's about what it all adds up to..for me it's about how these are the people who will be running this country one day.

This is your future lol:

Now imagine that..but these people are actually in charge of shit that actually matters.

It would be a problem if such classes were far more widespread than they are. Already in colleges you see a blowback.

Yes, I've seen trigglypuff. I still don't worry about it as much as I do about other things, because society at large has shown that it's always going to have a breaking point, and I don't see this being any different.

I hope you are right, but this new wave seems different. Essentially what Galadriel says at the beginning of the first LOTR movie sums up how I feel:

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air.

I think I agree, but only because throwing insults and being disruptive only appears to validate pseudo-intellectuals like Yiannopolous.

I did want to go back to this for a second though. By this I just have to ask if you think this type of behavior should *only* be avoided because you feel it validates these people?

I mean do you disagree with my overall point in general? It wasn't just about these lectures. But that if someone doesn't like a book don't read it. Don't watch tv shows or listen to comedians that offend you, etc. I think people should generally try to avoid things they dislike if they dislike them so much they can't just behave like adults, right?

Like for instance I don't like Hilary Clinton. But I don't need to avoid watching a video of her or something because I'm not going to fly in a rage and begin punching holes in the wall and just all around being unable to handle her. I can watch a video and merely comment on what I feel is wrong with it. If I was walking down the street and saw a rally for Hilary I likewise would never dream of trying to block people from entering because I am not a crazy person. If I was the type of person to think I have the right to do that then I should probably stay away from Hilary rallies. Of course I'd never actually attend a rally because I don't like her. It's the same reason I don't see movies I know I won't like.

SJW warriors are pussys. Just look at the ones here.

We should take all the gender studies professors from all over the country and put them in just one college.

Or at the very least immediately fire any professors who spread lies in their courses. You might have the right to teach your course, you have zero right to feed gullible kids lies.

SJW is the neutering and feminization of the population. Hence why more and more are becoming gay, transgender and act like they on the rag..

My favorite are the men that say they are SO in tune with their female best friends that they get physical cramps around the same time their female friends are PMS'ing.

Sounds like Glen Beck Studio

Just for fun Ben Shapiro owns Piers Morgan on gun control:

I think he makes some good points. For instance you have the people who really want to ban assault rifles. But then Ben points out most murders with guns are with handguns, so if you're about just lessening the death toll wouldn't you go after hand guns?

That right there is why moderates side with the SJWs.

I don't think moderates side with SJWs, at least I certainly don't. I do however always have a laugh when colleges or college students do something to desperately appear to be "different". I don't think I was nearly this bad when I was in college because I was focused on money, but I can understand having too much time on your hands and an insecure personality is a dangerous combination.

I'm a true moderate and I'll usually side with the whiny SJW over the Conserv who's whining about how political correctness is ruining his/her day 👆

rob, you are no moderate. you are way left, just shy of bardock. i'm more moderate than you and so is surtur. time is my boy but he is pretty right of me. let's be objective

Yea you're not a moderate. That's like saying I'm a moderate and I'll side with the Conserv who refuses to walk on eggshells, over the whiny SJW that feels offended by everything. Looks like neither one of us are moderate 👆

Both of you are wrong, 100% moderate right here. Deal with it.

You know for someone who in another thread was talking about the importance of facts it's weird you'd side with the people who are most allergic to facts.

People with your attitude are part of the problem. You have no problem with these people spreading lies and false narratives to the public, but you have a problem if people have a problem with it.

I want to hope you're just joking when you say these things. It's better to whine over people trampling free speech and spewing toxic shit then it is to whine over the false dilemma's these kids whine about. Also it's not just about political correctness lol. It's not. It's not being upset over PC when you don't want to see pieces of shit trample free speech. It's not being upset over PC when you don't want to see pieces of shit spread these vile lies. You try to simplify it as people just being upset over PC stuff.

These things aren't the most important issues, but stop acting like it isn't an issue. I just don't get the problem people have with people having a problem with these SJW's. As if you're posting so many other intelligent threads on this board and these SJW threads take away from that? I don't get it, I don't see why people have such a problem they just..I dunno, it's just weird. People will care so little about these things that they feel they have to come tell you they don't care lol. Some people do care about these things.

One thing that needs to be clear: the term SJW does not apply to anyone fighting for a legit cause in a legit manner. Someone who cares about true social justice might go around giving talks about rape like..maybe trying to help women deal emotionally with it, maybe trying to help them come forward about it if they haven't already. A SJW will go around spreading lies about the rape culture and citing the "1 in 5" bullshit. If these are the people you want to side with just because you just plain don't like how pissed off people get at them? Then by all means man..you do you. I find your reasoning utterly ridiculous, but I'd rather have someone with that type of mindset on the side of the SJW's anyways. You can be their shoulder to cry on next time they hear an opinion they can't handle.

What you said works in the reverse as well. The fringe Right is really no different than the fringe Left in terms of agenda pushing.

And my comment was a return retort to counter psmith's "I'm a this and I do that" post. You shouldn't have taken it seriously.

Though while on the topic of political correctness, there's issues on both sides, people can take politically correct too extreme; that is correct. But there are those that blanket all issues, the legitimate ones as well and dismiss them all under things like "SJW!!1!" nonsense. It's really not that hard to be politically correct without going overboard, the vast majority of people aren't overly sensitive loons looking for insults in every syllable spoken within earshot.

But you see not all people with problems with SJW's push an agenda. While ALL the SJW's push one. There is a legit war on facts lol. You might laugh at that notion, but there is. Is this war sizeable yet? No I don't feel it is.
