- Conservative students are vastly outnumbered on campus, and their beliefs and values are often ridiculed by other students, professors and administrators. So, how can conservatives survive and thrive in college, while also making a difference? Matthew Woessner, a political science professor at Penn State Harrisburg, offers some tips.

Script:
As a professor at a major American university, I’m well aware of higher education’s liberal bias. I also know the unique challenges that college students with conservative views face. If you are one of those students, here are seven ways you can turn those challenges into opportunities for learning and growth.
1) Face Reality
The reality is that at most colleges and universities the Leftist worldview is the norm. Everything else is considered a deviation. This is certainly the case in the humanities and social sciences. Even the hard sciences and professional majors, like business, have been influenced -- although, thus far at least, to a much lesser degree. Simply being aware of this ideological imbalance is a big step forward. It will help you think critically about what you’re being taught.
2) Seek Out Allies
The easiest way to do this is to identify the non-Left and conservative groups and clubs on campus and to join some of them. We all need allies. And we all need friends with whom we can talk freely. Plus, fellow independent-thinking students can give you advice on how to navigate the Politically Correct obstacle course that runs through almost all college campuses -- and where to find the few non-Leftist faculty. (They do exist!)
3) Avoid pointless ideological battles
It’s not your personal responsibility to correct the Leftist bias that permeates higher education. You’re not going to turn around the professor who has no patience for your conservative views, so don’t try. It’s fine to pose probing questions, but don’t push too hard. The same goes for your fellow students who espouse Leftist views -- probe, but don’t push too hard.
Also, recognize that many left-leaning faculty are committed to an open discussion of controversial topics. Conflicts with closed-minded professors will happen less often than you might imagine.
4) Stay cool
If you do mix it up with a Leftist professor or fellow student always be calm, reasonable, and respectful, even if they don't return the favor. Think of yourself as an ambassador for conservative ideas. Coming off as a hothead isn’t going to help the cause. It’s not easy to control your temper, especially when you are being falsely accused of being sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, bigoted or racist, but that’s what you have to do.
Your opponents will look for any excuse to dismiss you as a crazy conservative. So don’t give them the chance. Remember this: the person who loses his cool often loses the debate.
5) Choose wisely
Consider a major that isn’t inherently hostile to conservative ideas. The hard sciences like physics and chemistry are much less likely to be politicized in part, because the material is less subjective. In the social sciences, Political Science and Economics tend to be more tolerant of conservative ideas, if only because a proportionally large minority of the faculty hold views that are centrist or right of center.

I remember when I took a sociology class, our teacher tried telling us how women get paid less than men. So I asked her why, then, don't companies hire women over men if they can save money, and she completely avoided my question.
Don't bother slapping them with economics or math, they can't answer logic or else those type of professors will look like they're questioning the hard sciences or mathematics. To believe that the wage gap exists you must believe the central idea of Capitalism; profit motivation, is false. And from there you must try to prove that all business owners or employers in the nation are somehow colluding together to pay women less and pay men more... Those type of ideas lay in the realm of conspiracies.
+Jacob Agnew It was one of the few required classes that fit my schedule that I figured I could get a kick out of
Oh, like a required humanities elective? Pfft yeah, I'm really looking forward to taking my philosophy class next Summer too.
+Jacob Agnew counter subversion
+Jacob Agnew Sociology is not weak, it is psychology of the masses and so in many ways vastly more important than psychology. But yes most sociology teachers tend to be leftists.
Colleges and universities should be about education, not indoctrination
#makecollegesgreatagain
Like you would say that if the liberals was in the low nummbers
GamingNormaly I would. Academia should adopt a neutral and critical position when it comes to politics and not trying to promote just one specific way of thinking (sorry for ny English, I'm not a native speaker)
charlie freeman I agree with you, but don't forget that you a can have politicall views and in the same time being able to accept other people's views and even yourself quetsioning them.
That's no longer the case since liberals are't allowing opinions outside their cultural marksist way of thinking by playing the *insert word which ends in ist/phobic* card.
Left wingers are using so called "hate speach" to reduce anyone who objects to silence to avoid debating.
I think that is the longest run-on sentence I have ever seen, and I teach freshman history!
Bruh it's not only in higher education. It's in highschool TOO.
You seem to be the type to be interested in other obsured stories of propaganda, so I shall share mine.
I'm not liberal nor conservative nor communist, and by no means a patriot in the conventional sense, mind you.
The middle school math textbooks (in my school 6-8th grade) are labled as "multicultural math", though I haven't seen much ideology in the math curriculum.
As for my former schools' most pathetic history course, I have a great many complaints.
For one, our study of European history consisted only of a brief overview of WWI in 6th, an average length course on the medeval period in 7th (just the bad parts though) with enphasis on why the crusades were "unprevoked", and in 8th grade: nothing in regards to the history of Europe. Similar story for East Asia (I find it to be one of if not the most interesting subjects in history), but not as bad.
As for the american history class, sh*t hits the fan fast, although the real B.S. begins in 8th grade. The textbooks are written by Howard Zinn, who judging by his later chapters in "A Young People's History of the United States Vol. I" is very likely a communist or liberitarian-socialist. And while he makes some good points on unjustified american wars, it makes no note whatsoever of american inventions; only of american oppressions.
As for the history of american Indians:
We are taught in multiple grades that they were not as civilized as Europeans, but that american Indians were in fact, more civilized than Europeans. Dispite the amount of coverage they get, I have little more to say on this.
As for Arabs, in 7th grade we had a lengthly unit on them, free of any critisisms, we were tought only of their inventions and successes, and none of their faults.
As for the history of Black, we are not even taught of their acomplishments beyond the civil rights movement in america, and nearly nothing of African history beyond briefly learning about Mali in 7th grade.
I haven't the energy to go into the lack of masculinity, endless posters and early indoctrination, perhaps I may reuturn to write a part 2, though I'll retire for the nigh now.
Chief nobody is interested in reading a copy as thick as the damn bible bro
This is because liberals tend to seek higher education and conservatives tend to drop out and seek less modern jobs.
@@hikaru_7027 Maybe have an attention span longer than a minute, I thought it was interesting information.
YolooDevil Im sorry, I couldn’t finish reading your comment, make it shorter please
For me the hardest challenge is going to be a liberal school while being part Hispanic and Native American. The reason being people call me a race traitor saying I should be more liberal and be more open minded. It sucks because I can’t express my beliefs because of my race and or ethnicity I have to fit a certain mold to please people I can’t be my own person. To me that’s degrading because I feel oppressed and betrayed by my own people for not letting me be who I am.
The non-white right winger are the biggest enemy of the left. I am Asian but I am right wing (pro conservative but not conservative). Fortunately they generally accept my right wing view because it is considered somewhat normal for Japanese to be right wing. But yes, people like you are heroes. Do not buy into the leftist's stupid mold they created against the people of color.
I feel your struggles as a black conservative.
Because you are a traitor. The corporatist products have lulled you and seduced you so you lack proper understanding of the oppresional history and the shit your ancestry went through for you to even have the opportunity to “be your own person”, i want you to say that in a time your ancestors were either slaving or being gunned down by government capitalist-backed militias, or when they refuse to give people rights and segragated them into poorer communities. Nah, it’s all about you you narcissist. Unfortunately, you’ll only agree with anyone that validates the opinion of yourself, its social capital 101.
Hispanic is not an ethnicity, it is a culture. Viva la Hispanidad.
Pull the racism card in their face.
Sucks that we need a SURVIVALguide for expressing thoughts.
Not To Be U CAN EXPRESS ALL THE DECENT THOUGHTS YOU WANT , BY THE WAY U R A BUNCH OF FKING BIGOTS TRYING TO PUT AN EDUCATED SIDE OF WHIPCREAM ON A LOAD OF SHIT
That was one the most incoherent and illogical statements I have ever read. As a linguistics major, I highly recommend you reevaluate your proficiency in everyday English communication
Not To Be it is hard being an asshole in today's society.
But at least it does exist
Sucks that you need to be told by a conservative channel that you’re not racist when your views really are.
6) Preface everything you say with a trigger warning.
You gotta also preface "trigger warning" with a trigger warning.
Ugh. Let's not pretend you don't know that using trigger warnings as a "conservative" is an act of cultural appropriation, AND an abuse of your privileged station in society.
+tohopes trigger warning
You say that as if cultural appropriation is a _bad_ thing... (and as if conservatives are privileged over liberals in a college setting)
No.
Let them suffer the trauma.
Step 1: AVOID THE WEST COAST
And the New England Area
Haha I live in the west coast and this is what we have to deal with
Currently attending college in San Luis Obispo, California. While my major is very conservative (agriculture) you should see the types of assignments my English “professor” gives out. Every single assignment is politically left leaning and bashed on white people. It’s disgusting.
Jennifer Walsh Writing? No, all the assignments are to watch TH-cam videos like Steven Crowder Change My Mind and explain how he “manipulates people”. Also one assignment where she took screenshots of a verbal fight she had on Facebook with some guy over their differing political views, and we had to critique how well she did. That was really embarrassing to read a professor cussing out a man for having a different opinion.
West East South North it doesn’t matter anymore
Why is it that Conservatives are constantly having to be respectful and calm when speaking to liberals when liberals show less and less respect for conservative ideas every day.
@Yeet M8 we tend to not do that but have you seen libtards do riots and attack conservatives and go around doing bad choices
@Tommy Davis perhaps, but an insignificant portion of us would. Haven't seen any conservative bullies around, but if you do find one, you can tell us who tehy are specifically and we'll internally purge them out of our system.
yeah lol if you told that to my dad, he would definetely disagree with you, cause he rants ALL THE TIME about leftists. I asked him if he had 1 wish, what would he do? And he said, "I would have all the leftists killed". I fricken love my dad
To avoid going so low.
because you show no respect all on the right dismiss left policies as communism or hippy sjw authoritarianism
Don't fall either side of the political fence and question everything, that's my advice.
gg
pretty much
yep
Nope.
You will always end up with an opinion, which means you will always have a standpoint either more right, more left or somewhere else. There is no "no side".
Yeah, I go to college in NJ, and I have some conservative views. I did a report on gun control in Sociology class, and how I think it's hurting people more than it helps them, because crime goes up after new gun control legislation, and everyone was supposed to discuss the topics after you did your report, and nobody really said much after my report. I am a shy person to begin with, so getting up in front of the whole class and stating my unpopular opinion was pretty terrifying, but I'm also very proud that I actually managed to do it.
Way to go Janet!
Janet, reports are often opinions. You say gun control increases crime, another person can use a set of true facts and get the opposite result. To truly get to the bottom of it all, you have to account for ALL facts in something. Which you cant fit into a college class report.
way to miss the point
You probably have more balls than all of the guys in your ethnic studies class
+Taylor F.
Well, if you're interested, I used www.gunfacts.info as a reference, and you can download a PDF of their book, Gun Facts, for free.
I have seen leftist faculty members bully conservative students so I disagree that leftist professors will always respect hard work. They may even fail you or give you a low score because of your conservative views. I experienced that in college. They wanted our papers to reflect their political point of view.
I agree. It hurt my GPA but I still graduated with honors. Suck it left wing puppets
I once had a professor that used cnn as a “moderate” network. I nearly fell out of my chair.
My teacher said she'll give us a an F if we write about politics but some girl was able to make some pro Sjw crap and just go graded on the paper so yeah i agree
Ninja Artist What? Do you watch fox?? Oh your mad because CNN displays facts ik a neutral sense and fox is conservative B.S that is very very biased towards the conservatives
Grace Whitsell-Petroshius You're delusional, very delusional.
"The person who loses his cool often loses the debate." I like that.
I’ve learned that lesson the hard way
PragerU is not conservatism, it is Trump’s cult
My gender studies class: Right, there are only two genders MALE and FEMALE.
If any of you question this please leave.
Look up the definition of Gender. Scientists agree that it is "the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones)." So gender is technically not bioligical and gender is cultural, yes of course they're are two sexes, but Gender is different than sex. Stop denying science conservatives
is mayonnaise a gender?
I guess you could call your gender "mayonnaise". But no mayonnaise is not a gender. "The behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex" is another gender definition in the oxford dictionary. Sex is determined by the genitalia, mayonnaise does not have genitalia so therefore it cannot have a sex, and therefore NOT a gender.
Bexy Soy No, incorrect. Gender and Sex are actually the same thing, but because the leftists had not wanted their poor feelings declined, they had put two different things. Let me repeat, two different things, that in the end are the same. Gender/Sex are the same thing in mostly every single language, except for English and a few others. Without even being biological, we all know there are two genders. When you’re born, you’re a female or Male. That’s all.
Is horse radish a gender?
Ben Shapiro's advice is to not openly argue with the professor, nor argue in essay papers the view you think is correct. Just write as a SJW, get As, and get your revenge by making more money than them and dissuading alumni from donating.
Ben Shapiro actually made a large donation to Harvard and got his professor fired. At least, that's what I heard.
There's no guarantee to succeed but a good chance to fail
He didn't say not to put a counter opinion ahead. He said don't push it too hard.
Its a smart advice. In a university, you have limited powers and his grades lie in your hands. You can put forth your ideology once you have your degree in hand. Its pragmatism.
best comment on here!
+Shawn Michael while I understand and agree, I find it odious. I had my grade threatened in *HIGH SCHOOL* by my Economics AND my English teachers; one was over 'trickle-down' economics (She gave us a handout and taught for one session about how it doesn't work, even though she told us at the beginning that is *wasn't in the curriculum*); and My English teacher gave us free reading/writing time then told me I should leave off reading the religious material.
And people try to tell me there's no bias in education.
The fact that we need a survival guide to be a republican is actually really saddening
I have ONE MORE STRATEGY:DISAGREE with the teacher at the CLASS BUT in the TEST write what the teacher AGREE AND DEFEND
Eu tenho MAIS UMA ESTRATÉGIA:DISCORDE do professor na AULA MAS na PROVA escreva tudo o que ele DEFENDE e CONCORDA
You dont need it at all. Prager U is just trying to make you afraid like all other right wing forces. No one will judge you as long as you're not an obnoxious asshole
Michael Conley Jr.
actually, I’m just in high school and just saying something that sounds conservative gets the students mad at me and I can see that teachers are usually liberals. Also, from my experience, girls tend to be liberals and most of the people in my schools are girls. And all of the school administration is women. There are only three male teachers and my school is from pre-K all the way up to 12th grade. Therefore, there are many liberals, it’s not because the girls are stupid, it’s because girls tend to be less skeptical, so when a teacher says “women get paid less”, girls will just believe it without any evidence.
@@liondeluxe3834 I really dont see the problem if u dont want people getting mad at u dont talk politics, if u wanna talk politics just deal with it
It says A LOT about the "tolerant" left. They're the same all over the world: they hate whites, they hate anyone who doesn't bend over backwards and spread their buttcheeks for their destructive policies, they always blame the president for events that have NOTHING to do with him just because he's not a dirty Liberal like Butthurt Obama.
RANDOM ANECDOTE: Ever since I read "1984" by George Orwell, leftist intolerance for contrary opinion at school makes me feel like I'm committing a thought crime every time I think in a conservative fashion.
George Orwell is the ONLY leftist i respect, He warned us about Radical Leftism
Same man, I read that book in high school and today reminds me so much of it.
Real guide:
Oppress liberals
Argument with your socialist history teacher
Escape from being lynched by ANTIFA militants and angry communists
Tell cops that the marxist dude you hate smokes weed
Graduate
Be rich
Be an example of how capitalism works
Laugh at your old schoolmates
Done
Note: simulation is only accurate for brazil
Huehuehuehue, estudei numa escola com tanto professor comunista achincalhando a crise do capitalismo (sobre 2008) e falando como o Brasil liderado por Lula e Dilma "escaparam da crise", certa vez disse a um deles que tudo o que os dois fizeram foi atrasar o inevitável, e que o Brasil entraria em uma recessão histórica, riram da minha cara, como eu queria ver eles hoje, kkkkkkkkkk
hahaha, boa Douglas.
O que me entristece hoje é ver nas pesquisas que acabaram de sair para as próximas eleições que os comunistas estão na frente em muitas capitais. Não sei o que acontece! Depois de tudo que aconteceu nos últimos anos :(
sounds like a plan
Guilherme Santos Pra mim não é surpresa, desde as eleições eu tinha notado que os protestos eram contra a corrupção e não contra as ideias do PT, a ver o alto número de "socialistas fabianos" nos protestos, a "direita tucana" é um exemplo, kkkkkkk, só no Brasil mesmo social democrata ser de direita!
Well I'm at an agricultural college in southern Georgia, so the liberals are by far the minority.
I'm independent but agree with most conservative ideas.
"independent but agree with most conservative ideas". Thats a great position to have, and one that more people should have. Nothing gets done in politics becuase no one listens to each other and its in large part due to people calling themselves "proud republicans/democrats". it makes them less open to other views. be independent, make up your mind about each policy and if you end up supporting mostly conservative ideas thats ok!
+Austin Hernández I'm in the same boat (independent with conservative ideas), we are a dying breed in our age group. forming your own political opinions instead of being forced feed media garbage makes you a outsider nowadays.
Same.(about being an independent that agrees with most conservative ideas)
I tried that, but I agree with 95% of what Republicans say, so I stick with them.
+mohamulator some examples include free market (anti-Socialism/communism), less taxes, bringing back Judeo-Christian values, and smaller government power.
As a conservative, I am willing to work, socialize and live among those with differing points of views. Just wonder why those on the left won't do same
Erich L. Ruehs I’m slightly left leaning, but I live with all viewpoints. My best friend is conservative.
@@welove2134 I shake your hands and cry
Most leftists have less that three brain cells and only care to listen to like minded individuals.
Probably because their viewpoints used to (and still tries to) make entire groups of people illegal
Take up, Engineering, Medical Sciences, Core Sciences, Law or Education ladies and gentlemen.
That is where we find shelter.
Law students are mostly pro-choice
Possibly because they deal in facts rather than feelings.
I think it to be much worse to leave such ancient and important areas of thought such as History, Philosophy and Social Sciences to be absolutely and irrevocably monopolised by extreme left-wing ideologues.
Aeronautical engineering and chemistry is what I’m doing so I’m safe
Law students are pretty left cus it’s all social sciences
You left out shitpost online to let off steam. Post some Pepe's.

My girlfriend is from Cuba, a Bernie Bro tried explaining to her why Socialism is so great, and after her saying "we have that tenant it doesn't work" he would dismiss it as not being "true socialism"
Well the world's most stable economies are socialist countries, so it's pretty damn clear that it works. True socialism may not be the right term, but it is certainly true that some countries (like Cuba and Brazil) just can't make it work, and that's not socialism's fault.
Miles Hacker that's not true at all, the most stable economies are those who have an adoption of Capitalism. This is because these economies have a free market where the resources are not owned by the government. This success by capitalism is attributed to the fact that capitalist societies allow free market entry/exit, and allow entrepreneurship. I'm an Econ major, and I can assure you that socialism is failing, see Venezuela. See China where they do nothing but print off fiat money as they lower deeper into a financial crisis.
I'm not denying that capitalism works. I'm saying socialism works as well. Obviously if capitalism didn't work, the United States would not be thriving, and if socialism didn't work, then socialist countries such as New Zealand and Denmark would not be thriving. Socialism still allows for a free market, which is what separates it from communism. Socialism is simply an adjustment to the way taxes are collected to ensure that the majority of the population is in the middle class. Communism essentially means that the government owns everything. Communism definitely does NOT work, and the countries that use it are currently suffering from extreme corruption. Venezuela is just another example of a country that overdid socialism and made it too communist. Bernie Sanders believes in a different type of socialism, one that is stable and more mild than that of Venezuela. Bernie Sanders' socialism would mimic the world's prosperous socialist economies to make the American economy just a little more stable.
What? It works YET but it will not last forever. The super-socialist European Union is in a deep financial crisis and economic stagnation. This is one of the main reasons why people voted for Brexit and why conservative parties are growing and winning. All around Europe the European youth is more conservative than their parents and grandparents. Like Margaret Thatcher said: 'The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.'
Denmark and New Zealand are actually Social Democrats and everything they've achieved in the economic side is thanks to capitalism. Just like Sweden is taken as an example of a socialist country that worked, but everything they did economically was under capitalism rule. I guess it's a trend, getting rich with free market and then slicing up some of the spoils with the population before some financial crisis hits due to their now weaker economic system and then restart the process. The problem with Venezuela and Brazil, besides extreme corruption, is that both skip the part were they use capitalism to enrich, and even though they somehow solved these two problems, I think it would still be a huge time for them to even think in making a social democrat system work properly with their swollen government and stupid politics. As for Communism, I really think that the 20th century was a huge attestation for everyone: extreme left ideologies are nothing more than utopias, even their nationalist and slightly modified versions (Fascism and Nazism) were proven to be even worse crap. We still need a proof from the far-right though, like the libertarians - not the anarchists - that is, with you follow the classic /more state - less state/ political spectrum, but that's just nomenclature and categorization after all, practically no ones agrees on it, even specialists don't.

"-phobe" means fear. Where did they get hate from this.
Jp Jp I've been wondering the same thing. Nobody seems to have a good answer.
Ronin Elenion
I know, right?!
Right??!
"-phobe" can mean intolerance and aversion too. It's not an "only mean" suffix.
Silver Wolf No. "Phobia" is the definition of "irrational fear". Fear should never be associated with hate.
where the hell was this 5 years ago? I had to survive a 4-year liberal arts university
It was rough
Quick question, and no offense intended, but why would you take a course like that? Di you have to?
I left the military and wanted to attend a top political science program. The school I chose had a great program. The dept. professors were fairly conservative. The rest of the campus however was taught by far left liberals, and the student body reflected that as well.
Ah, I see. I'm in the ninth grade, so I'm starting to make my decisions on college now.
Bradshaw1212Plays MC Pick a school with opportunity for work study to keep your student loans low, and know what you want to do before you get there. A lot of kids come to college with no clue, and they end up changing their major half way through, which is really expensive in the long term and sets you back
When you have to deal with this in middle school
Same
I remember being called a racist in junior high because I said I wouldn't vote for Obama because I didn't like his policies. Freedom of speech and freedom of thought keep me from believing in ideals that make no economic and/or moral sense.
Once you start working, you'll start seeing more like-minded views because capitalism doesn't work on Leftist principles.
same once i told my friend i was republican and she was like yOu liKe dOnAld tRuMp hEs rAcisT
shes black idk if that matter but she is really sensitive about that stuff
anyways i told her some facts and she was just like

Oh yea oh yea?
In my country every teacher is communist and our books are full of texts written by Karl Marx😭. Save me.
Which country are you from?
@@shervinsaharkhiz2938 Brazil
All baf
Greek name? Kostas o Zexi?
Haven't they figured out that Marx got out wrong yet? Look at Stalin's Russia for one example.
The problem is many people think
conservative= nazi, homophobe, racist etc.
And I think it's also a huge problem that many celebrities say that too.
And everything that is not extreme right wing is considered communism
This is marxist ideology infiltrated in our education system..so many of the youth are brainwashed indoctrinated they can't think for themselves
Celebrities are just part of the agenda
I remember my teachers showing me Hillary Clinton propaganda in class. We all hated her for that. And we all continuously got into arguments with her. A lot of our teachers are either liberals, or feminists. I constantly got into arguments with them but I always quit before I got to my main points because I was always afraid of them writing me up for a detention.
Kaleb Masters , know exactly how you feel... hang on brother
why are you afraid of speaking up? i thought it was "conservative" to not care about offending people with your views. more like cuckservative
He was in a position where he is unequal, his teacher being above him. It's called obeying school rules. Kind of like how you don't disrespect your professor or other lecturer.
Remember, you have free speech say whatever needs to be said
I almost lost my cool when 6 students started to yell at me that abortions are fine, because the baby doesnt have a brain yet... thats just a horrible thing to say! A cell is still a living being, just as much as a 1 year old.
Is it weird that I'm becoming very interested in politics and related topics at the age of 15? I feel very out of place from many of my piers at school who go with the popular viewpoint in my area, and am often ridiculed for my views, having formed a conservative mindset through evaluations of both left and right viewpoints, but know matter how much I stay calm and try to talk about any opinions, I am just immediately labeled as either racist or sexist or just stupid.
Nah man, I'm 14 my self and I'm interested too.
No, nothing weird about that at all.
If you are immediately labeled racist, sexist, or stupid, you are winning the argument.

I still remember my Ancient Literature class my freshman year. The professor was, as usual, liberal but he was also VERY knowledgable about his material. He was also infamous for being an incredibly harsh grader, even among the Honors College professors. Among the ancient texts we studied was the Bible, and he knew the words inscribed within better than anyone in the classroom (even though the wisdom of such words eluded him). This was exasperated by the fact that right about half of the students were Christians (I know, I went to church with them all). Yet no one else came to the Bible's defense or really even participated in class discussions all that much. In fact, it was really only myself and this one atheist girl who actively participated in class discussions.
So right about the week or so before finals, after an extensive debate about the Bible and the morals tought within it, he pulled me aside after the bell rang. Previously in the course I had demonstrated a great capacity for logical deduction and intellectual rigor through my diligent classwork and class discussions. He asked me "You're so smart... do you really believe in this book?" Without hesitation I responded "Absolutely" and walked out. But it was the way he asked it that sticks out in my memory. It wasn't incredulous, accusatory, or derisive. He was honestly confused. It sounded like he had developed a notion that Christians were stupid, weak-willed, and weak-minded people, and my passionate and logical defense of my beliefs was causing some internal conflict.
I don't know what happened to him after that. I remember being one of only two people to earn an A in that course, but that's not important. I can only hope that through my words and actions I sowed the seeds that would eventually bring him to Jesus Christ.
Amazing story.
Great story. Us Muslims also believe in the Bible and Jesus Christ. Blessed be the Man and blessed be the Book.

It’s hard being a conservative in California, especially when you’re in high school. All my peers think they know what’s best, and I used to think that way too, but I realized that no one was gonna do shit about the way I felt. I’m mexican, parents were illegals, grew up in the ghettos, never had shit because my family was poor, parents were working 2 jobs each to provide for me and my 6 siblings, and people still got the nerve to call me out for my political beliefs. My family is doing much better now; my parents didn’t wait for shit to get handed to them, and people still like to think that they know me lmao
Wow
Respect bruh
Yes!
That feeling when you're a centrist.
You're either dismissed by both sides or hated by both

Babylon liberalism these days are far left
I got called a liptard and a facist on the same day...
It's sad that this is needed.
Not needed.... its propaganda with no basis. The facts debunk conservatives every time.
@@freethoughtgreg6424 ...except conservatives tend to have more common sense, unlike liberals. Thus, the situation of a conservative not providing facts is very unlikely.
Can you demonstrate that conservatives have more common sense? Which conservative principals are backed by common sense and facts?
Most western societies are politically left of the USA and they have objectively better societal health by many standards.
@@freethoughtgreg6424 I did not say conservative principals are backed by common sense; I said that conservatives have more common sense than "liberals". (Also fyi, neither do the left's principals.)
And yes, I can demonstrate that conservatives have more common sense. Let's talk about the 2016 elections. Now, when Obama got elected, no right wing supporter rioted or demanded a recount. But when Trump got elected, the left rioted and demanded recounts. The left lost and threw temper tantrums just because Hitllary didn't win. That, at least for me, doesn't show me common sense at all.
1. This "people complained when trump won but not when obama won" is factually false, and is an assertion and an anecdote
2.trump is an actual criminal, he is actively creating a swamp in washington, ramping up needless wars and casualties, botching relationships with unstable dictators, and is openly oppressing LGBT and non-christians. I would hope people would throw fits about him running the country.
3. If you can not actually demonstrate that conservatives have more common sense, then dont assert that
4. Liberalism correlates positively with being educated and non-religious, so i already have a case over you that liberals have more common sense.
True story:
In my college Spanish course, halfway through the semester, someone didn't like that the professor didn't inherently know their preferred gender, and got up and left the class in a huff one day out of no where with no warning. We were all literally trying to figure out what had gone wrong. When someone had pieced it together that they were non-binary, our professora (literally the sweetest professor you could ask for) actually rushed out of the room to try and hunt "them" down in order to apologize to "them". Next class, I arrived to find a note taped to the empty room explaining that our professora had been removed (obviously for "insensitivity") and that we were going to be assigned a brand new one. But don't worry. This is a happy ending. A bunch of us banded together to write to the department chair to get our professora reinstated by giving our side of what actually happened and we won. Our professora returned while the other person did not and good riddance because this is not how you win allies. The war on basic reality is real. So stay vigilant my friends. God bless.
That is a great story! God was on the side of that professora :)
This story is inspiring. Espero que tu profesora esté bien!!

@em ! do your parents know? If not, and they are left wing, don’t tell you parents! You don’t want division in your own childhood house.

@em ! talking about school, never mention your own political viewpoints. If somebody like a teacher or student asks you about some political event it’s something just go “I don’t know much about politics and I don’t care” or just go along with what they are saying and be like “yea, yea true”. Not more, no less you can do man.

Studying in the usa must be more traumatic than taking part in the vietnam war it seems
they say the left tends to exaggerate, but really it's a trait of both
It's not an exaggeration to say that most faculty are on the left, it's a fact. And there are a million examples of them allowing or even encouraging the students to shut down opposing (conservative) ideas. So yes college can be a bit of a hostile environment for a conservative.
A hostile environment to anyone not part of the religion of the 21st century. Pleasure and indulgence. To any thinking, moral being.
how so? there was no demonization nor any aggresive statements made about the universities. It was just a guide for conservative students in the now more liberally-prolific universities.
Nope not traumatic at all and the food and beer is way better. No need for safe spaces at universities in my opinion.
I’m just lucky that most kids at my school seem to be Conservative and my teachers show zero political bias
As a child, I was taught that resorting to insults and name-calling meant you'd lost the argument/debate.
Why would a college student want to be a liberal or a conservative? By choosing a single camp, we limit our ability to learn about and experience different social and political views. I prefer the following advices: Be open-minded, think critically, do not isolate yourself.
not that simple anymore, everything is too politicized to stay neutral, which is a really damn shame honestly. if anything i'd like to be taught what i need so i can get out into the workforce, not be force feed ideological shit from the SJW professor down the hall.
Daarkmana you gotta choose a side sooner or later!!
Nobody really chooses. It's not much of a choice, you choose to say you are either, but what you believe really defines which one you are. You can believe in a lot from each side too, and just be center.
Daarkmana my thing is I'm conservative but I'm open to new ideas as long as facts support them. Liberals used to be that way but not anymore
Why would a college student want to be ANYTHING? I grew up steeped in the stereotypical "Generation X" culture that painted all teenagers as lazy and apathetic. I always thought such people were pretty dumb, but at least they were (usually) nice people when you got to know them. But then all those Gen-X'ers grew up to become cranky ideologues (centrists on balance, although they have shifted sharply to the right compared to their younger years), and while they are no longer "dumb," they certainly are ignorant.

I’m a Trump supporter and I have no problem with liberals whatsoever. Liberals are very open-minded people who share similar thoughts and beliefs with conservatives; freedom of speech, we’re all Americans, regardless of background, etc. The only problem is that the radical left is taking over our colleges and institutions. As someone who is from the Bay Area, everyone I’ve known is a liberal, but too many people I know have been brainwashed in public school. My own brother is a pro-Bernie socialist. Don’t force beliefs and we’re all good. That’s all I have to say.

Bernie Sanders is no socialist. He is a bit left centered. Take his concepts to europe and you will see that there he would be seen as pretty normal.

+Old Longfellow ha!
While this is without a doubt a virtue, let me ask you about things such as islam.. how many open minded people had their minds opened all over airports and shopping malls recently?
Are you linking open minded with left wing? Really? One who is truly open minded will know that Islam is one of the biggest to the west. Many of the CLOSED minded left won't acknowledge the threat of Islam. The more open minded I become the more I see the threat of Islam but the more I read the more I see the threat of government and banks. The more you read the harder you find it to fit any side of the political spectrum. I myself would say I lean to the right mostly but agree with some left wing ideas.
Joseff Dunn the left wing likes to tout itself as being the most open minded party. full of love and hope and unicorn farts.
I consider my self a "left" person, but i really can't over the fact that there is so much hate towards right wing. Why can't everyone respect each other ideas? Freedom of speech also means that people shouldn't be judged (or socially isolated) upon political views. I admire the firmness and passion about some right wing exponents as much as i admire the progressiveness and tolerance of the left wing.
When america was being formed George Washington stated that the absolute worst way america could be formed was with two opposing ideals in government. Also whenever the founding fathers killed one another over political disputes it was always the leftist who started this (and i am taking into account the fact that the names and meanings of these terms swapped over the years)
we are a young democracy, we just need a couple more hundred years to grow
How does social alienation usurp someone's rights?

There's something that bugs me about PragerU and Americans in general: they refer to trendy lefties as liberals - liberalism has got nothing to do with left and right
The terms may be used differently in other parts of the world, but that's just how it's used and commonly understood here in the US. I'm not sure that you'll be able to turn the entire nation's way of thinking around.
US politics are all in the right of political spectrum. Liberalism is in the center-right, while conservatism is far right. That's why in US their liberal movement is left-wing. It's left wing for them, right wing for the rest of the world.
There's a four point square - authoritarian to individualist, far left (communist/total state) to far right (no state).
The problems today are not classic liberals who often want a large state to take care of people and control some things compared to conservatives who want a smaller state and larger alternative institutions. It is the authoritarian left that says the state has to be huge AND want state power to force everyone to agree with them, then attack all groups and institutions that don't align.
Conservatives don't care if liberals live in a commune in the woods or their liberal newspapers, conservatives have theirs. Liberals usually don't care if conservatives have their religious private schools aside from public though push out conservative religious groups in school.
It is the authoritarian that has repeatedly tried to enroll young children of homosexuals in private schools that teach traditional values, then rush to the media and send death threats to schools that decline the enrollment. (Happened at a private religious school near us, in the name of love, the LBGT allies threatened to burn down a school with 200+ kids inside to wipe out the haters' children). If the school admits the child, then they show this crying 6-7 year old that these mean people teach that Mommy and Mommy are bad, you have to change your teachings. Don't change it, and they sue. It isn't the classic liberal live and let live, it is get out of the public square to your enclaves, then show up at the enclaves and demand that even that be shut down.
The same is true with the SJWs showing up at conservative events with airhorns or actually blocking entry of the audience, denying others freedom of speech and assembly in the name of fighting hate. It is the authoritarian left that in the name of helping various victim groups seeks to police speech of others with the state power to financially punish those who disagree. That is fascism.
This is a rule for life as a conservative. Great job man!
I remember in my late 20s, feeling somewhat frustrated and disillusioned when I went to church, or especially Bible study. We'd discuss what we were studying, and people would always applaud my insight - when the truth was, everything I was talking about was readily available to everyone else there, in the same Scriptures. The phrase, "Get on my level," didn't really exist back then, but if it had, I would have applied it liberally.
A couple years later, I found myself hanging out with a bunch of liberals on the regular. Most nights we just drank coffee and shot the breeze, but often we would discuss politics and religion, and my views stood in stark contrast to theirs. But what kept me coming back instead of getting frustrated and writing them off, were the questions. Rather than simply dismiss my views, these guys wanted to know why I believed as I did, and asked probing questions concerning my convictions. This forced me to find answers to those questions - and, as I did so, it not only deepened my own faith, but opened doors for me to discuss my faith with those who didn't necessarily share it. It strengthed my resolve, and gave me opportunity to evangelize in a very real way.
My advice to young people is this - find allies and draw strength from them; but make a point of finding also someone who challenges you. Find that friendly rival, someone you can share a cordial relationship with, but who doesn't necessarily see things your way. Listen carefully to that rival's questions, and consider carefully how best to answer them. Hold forum, seek input, and research your own side as though you were the enemy, looking for chinks in your own armor. Let the challenges of those who disagree be your opportunity to shine. Maybe then, your fellows will start to get on your level.

@This Guy
Implying we don't hear about that shit every single day since birth already.
That doesn't mean that the professor is going to support those ideologies. The fact is that there are people who believe that so it must be taught what those people believe. How else can you decide if you agree or disagree with them? You may know the basis of those groups, but it's doubtful you know everything. And it's likely the professor doesn't agree with them either.
Tony Boy I just don't want to waste my time and money, that's all
+Django Fandango The point of taking college classes is to learn new things. I can't say anything on feminism or social justice as it's taught at a college, because I've never taken those classes, but I've taken enough college classes to know to not make assumptions about knowledge and perspectives will be conveyed to me. For example, I had to take an Art Appreciation class. I thought this was stupid because I felt it wasted time that could be spent on major required courses, and who was anyone to tell me how to appreciate art? But what we actually learned was the history of art and how early art often served not as art as we know it, but was used to convey information, laws, historical record, and beliefs. Art was the first form of written communication, and often was the only record of social perceptions of societies. It wasn't really until recently that the idea of art for art's sake came about. Anyway, I really enjoyed the class. You really don't know what a class is like until you take it.

I'm in frickin 7th grade and I face these challenges every day at school. We have no allies in my school. We have teachers calling my few fellow conservatives and I IDIOTS, fascists, and racists. We are 12 and 13 years old. We have classes and clubs about "tolerance", which are basically "attack conservatives" classes. We feel lonely. Hated. We have clubs for allies of LGBTQ people, but none for conservatives, who are even more of a minority at my school. All the liberals are graded better. It makes me wonder how the world did this.
In 7th grade you can't really associate yourself with either political party. Your brain is not fully developed (That's a fact, I know conservatives like to deny those, but don't even try). The only way someone of your age knows a significant bit about politics is if you spend all your free time studying them, which I highly doubt you do. The reason there's a safe place for LGBT+ people but not conservatives at your school is quite obvious if you actually take the time to think about it: conservatism is an idealogical system that you have full control over, while being LGBT+ is *not* a choice. Try to hold off on politics until at least high school; I can guarantee that you will be able to dive in with a more open and ready mind.
Miles Hacker, don't place limits on people.
I'm not placing any limits, his age is.
I never said anything about indoctrination, and I certainly do believe that kids should be able to form their own political opinions (not sure where in my comments you got the idea that I don't). I only have a problem with it when they're going into TH-cam comment sections and complaining that the liberals at their school are graded better, which is completely absurd.
Boy, no matter you're a conservative or a progressive, you have to be tolerant. I do acknowledge that calling you racist and fascist wasn't tolerant from the other students as well. However, just imagine, if you guys had a clubs for anti-gay or anti-blacks, anti-non-Christian, would that maintain a peaceful environment? You said "tolerance is attack to our conservative values you", but it is a school and you are in 7th grade. Every one has the right to education, and a peaceful learning environment. Any thing that might disrupt this should not be allowed in schools.
sheesh man I never knew it was that serious...
as a conservative, I can tell you that there is serious bias in education.
i asked a middle eastern girl last year why she didn't eat pork. she said because of her religion. i inquired further "yes but why?". then got verbally assaulted and called a bigot by an SJW who wasn't even part of the conversation. i then proceeded to pwn him in a debate and was able explain that my inquiry was about the religious reason for not eating pork. the SJW skulked away and the middle eastern girl explained that it was because pigs are religiously seen as unclean.
The reason they didn't eat pork was because pork couldn't be cleaned like it can today and would often kill those who ate it, much like bottom feeding fish and insects. many people didn't understand this at the time so it was simply said, don't eat pork.
I've read that there are cases of people failing because they didn't prescribe to the belief system of the teacher. I've actually gotten lower grades, not because I wrote the papers wrong, but because I adhered to a different belief system.

Perhaps they see a sort of sense behind evolution, which leads to the independent thought and questions that may make them abandon religion.
Catholicism is doing substansially better than other sects because they, or at least the Pope has, realised the possibility of evolution, under Gods guidance.

Not only that but I've become a lot less aligned with ideals and politics and became more intertwined with right and wrong and faith. We gotta stop treating everyone like our enemies.

High schooler here. Do your teachers give you detentions/bad grades if you argue with their ideologies? My teachers all have leftist views, but as long as you discuss it with them in a civil manner in class, its ok.

Students themselved hardly do make it about politics . That piece of advice would be more useful if directed to some professors.
since getting a degree usually takes 4 years, one of those years will be an election year
As a current college student, my experience is that students often make it about politics.
I'm only in high school and some of my teachers are passive-aggressively pushing a left agenda on my peers and I, and it's a rural-ish school. The education system is screwed.
So how do you take a class about history, politics, or economics without having a political discussion at least once exactly? Seeing as universities have core requirements which force students to take at least one of these classes, this is good advice.
Thank you so much for this video! Last August, I was extremely discouraged by the constant targeting, when I had listened patiently, hadn't shared my own opinions on politics, but still felt targeted by questions I had to answer honestly.

And felt like the only way they would leave me alone was agreeing with them. Which was NOT an option. But after talking with my mom about my frustration with my first month as a college freshman. I came on TH-cam and found this video. And I have now finished out my public speaking class, with a very outspoken environmental liberal instructor, who listened well and would hear me out. Even after covering hard political topics which he encouraged and was excited to hear. And was amazed I was only 18. Thank you so much for helping me through this semester! It turned into a very good one! So encouraging to see other people my age are equally motivated to speak up!
I’m in middle school and luckily for me almost everybody is one the right. It’s not gonna last forever though.
nice.
Yeah, I’m in junior high, and the majority of people in our school’s student vote voted for the conservatives. Conservatives like pretending they’re the minority in most places, but here (Alberta) is Liberals are by far the minority.
Better advice: go to a real college that that will actually help you succeed in life and won't look like an embarrassment on your resume.
That's what most Conservatives and Liberals do in the United States of America (USA in short).
In my literature class at a Christian school, I sat next to a kid who was obviously not Christian. He was visibly upset the whole time the teacher talked from a Christian view point. I guess they can’t take their own medicine. Thank you for this guide! 💪💪
Excellent video. Hope conservative students all over the country successfully navigate the horrible college campus environment we currently have.
Now, I need a Liberal High School Survival Guide, I’m dying out here.
I just pretended to be left-wing during my college years...it's surprisingly easily to pick-up the political correctness and stress over global warming
Dear fellows of PragerU , I'm so glad for this video!!!
We in Brazil, suffered in all Public Universities, the biased teaching.....that 'socialism/comunism' is "cool"......
I have survived - critically independent - for 4 years (Biology!), but most of my friends still think and voted for the most corrupt government of all time -check for yourselves! (Lula - who is in jail - and his party PT - 'Workers Party').
Now, we have, for the first time a 'right-wing' presitent. Jair Bolsonaro.
The fact is that our professors in Brazil (all levels!) still 'teach' what we call 'Gramschism". (From the italian comunist Antonio Gramschi).
Could you make a video-class about his doctrine!??
I will be pleased!!!
Thanks a lot!!!
I could make a video for my own if you prefer! (I'm very articulated and know a lot about his doctrine and the effects in our educational system!). Anyway, reach me if you need any information - I have a lot! - from 'biased curriculums' to bullying etc!!
I love this channel. I found this channel a year ago when I was 12, and I've learned so much after finding these videos.
Thank you so much, PragerU. I’m gonna need this.
Y'all should make a video that show both left and right point of views. And make it educational for both sides. To help future voters make smart decisions no matter of of what side you on.
Majority of all universities and colleges are left leaning. Same goes for news media and social media. There is enough videos of left point of views out there. They don't need another.
Its impossible to avoid a leftist view point though, its everywhere you look, like ganthore said, its all over the mainstream news and social media. Leftist views are promoted whereas conservative views tend to be censored or suppressed.
I've yet to see a liberal channel also provide a conservative view and discuss it with an open mind. Thats why we need as bigger voice as possible to be heard above the noise, this is actually part of what gives rise to the far right in my opinion. I used to consider myself dead centre but the crazier the shit I heard coming from the left over the past decade or so the more it pushed me over to the right, as that tends to be where the common sense view is as opposed to the 'feel good factor' of virtuousness.
keeping an open mind in college is also beneficial. Not all republican ideas are good and not all liberal ideas are bad. I've learned this in my urban planning classes.
Michael Maynor Is Urban planning nice ? Because I would like to do that one day .
That's why he still recommended taking leftist classes. Understand?
It is really the other way around. It seems like the media would have you think that all conservative ideas are evil and all liberal ideas are good
No Body It happens both ways, media is just biased a lot. It is when you become ignorant to any bias you have an issue
On behalf of the young, many thanks for the idea and the excellent execution of this project.
I needed this 4 years ago!
I must say in college my favorite classes were the ones that had conservative/republican professors. Here you have a more educated and wiser conservative professor who would own any of us one on one. But against 20+ young liberal college students it's a fair match and made for some great discussion and learning opportunities. It's a shame that conservative professors are being scrutinized.
Its so sad that you need to seek out a survival guide just to feel comfortable on college and universities
I'm going to need this when I head off to university
my grade 12 drama teacher debated me on budget deficits and it lead to nowhere... she wants more money to be invested in mental health, and I was not against it, she fought me anyway, it ended up more then half the class supported me for lower taxes, paying of deficit, and to build a better future for the next generation
3:47 "you may be an ideological minority, but youre not alone"
So basically be the only adult on campus.......
We need this kind of information now more than anytime else
As a 15 year old in high school, I can confirm this liberal media is influential throughout high school education as well. I was a liberal just because I was Asian, and watched many of the late night talk shows (which are obviously biased), but then started to question everything and shifted much more centrist and realized how prevalent and influential the generally pro-Democrat and pro-liberal media is. Then I met my Calc teacher, a 62 year old, one of the most chill teachers, who COMPLETELY changed my viewpoints on everything. He uses actual logic and facts, that's the reason. In fact, the two most intelligent people (teachers) on campus are both conservative leaning, and the former being a staunch conservative who has been very influential and englightening individual. He is a practical man. He did not pursue college education until the age of 25, and once he did, he got rolling. He teaches us USEFULL information in his classes, such as to make money and manage. He taught me and introduced us to the cashflow influx quadrants and how he is in every quadrant (being a district employee, self employed optical engineer that works on telescopes in free time, real estate owner, and investor in stocks). This man, prager university, and Dave Ramsey have been the beacon of enlightenment for me, and I am lucky to have looked at and now know both sides of the coin, and not just the one propagated through media.
