    I was a professor of computer science in Mississippi. Our population is almost 40% African American. My Classes were quite popular with this demographic. Why? I supported students. I liked the students, and I would help students if I could. I also worked very hard to communicate technical ideas as clearly as I could. I did not need to shift to a new social ideology; I needed to help each student to achieve their best.

      That is no longer what many districts want out of their teaching staff. Job 1 is to tow the party line, job 2 is to teach the subject. We're shaping hearts and minds here people, get with the program or get out of our way - my interpretation of the mindset of a captured education system.

      There is a court case going forward in Seattle for an employee who did something similar. They had groups based on race for training and he insisted they allow him in the one for black people. They retaliate, tell him he should quit so a black person can have his job, he gets fired eventually, and the judge said it can go forward recently. Could be a future problem for the diversity industrial complex.

      Houston ISD is moving to eliminate 28 school libraries and turn them into discipline centers. Who goes to discipline centers the most?
      Use your imagination. This has gone very bad, very quickly with feigned cooperation. It's the same type of thing that happened in Nazi Germany--but they didn't have social media to expose it. We do, and that gives us an even greater responsibility to say NO.

    Great answer. It is awful what goes on in the schools. In my undergraduate every class I had was indoctrination. I complained to the Dean's office about it because I felt the teachers were inserting radical beliefs into the course. They retaliated a little bit to the point where I had to have my work signed off by the student services office. I went to Cornell and I guess I was naïve because I didn't know how liberal the school was. I think most universities are like this now and it's intimidating and I think they want to create little socialists. My Catholicism was what guided me. I felt bad for a lot of the teachers and once I saw a teacher crying after being reprimanded. I chose this school because of its scientific program but I should have gone to Dartmouth, maybe Holy Cross.

    I am an autistic heterosexual white male. For people like me, academia is a horrible racist and sexist paradigm. Academics see an individual as being deserving of social demotion, based on being a white male. And even though autistics have a long history of being marginalized, stigmatized, and under-served, academia casts our challenges as negligible. The academic position is, "there is always some old white male who believe he's had challenges in his life." When I go out, I always have the prospect of encountering someone who feels the right to "lean into their identity" by non-verbally leaning into me, just like every other white male. However, my autism prevents me from detecting their non-verbal bully force and all of a sudden I have "confirmed" that I am deep-seated something-or-other. Academia has knowingly created a hostile and toxic social environment for everyone who has an academically assigned villainy, coupled with an academically exploitable disability. Academia has re-engineered society, so we go from workable marginalization to outright social expulsion. At 68 years-old, I've seen and felt the change. I had a much better chance when I entered kindergarten in 1960, than a little 5 year-old autistic white male has today. Our only option is become the most litigious in the history of the world. Every student who wears academically imposed social stains needs a lawyer and a litigation plan before setting foot on any campus. A lot of academics deserve to end up flat-busted broke, living in a dumpster, and eating whatever garbage is thrown into their home.

Raise your hands if you agree to this." Then, regardless of the outcome, teach classically, auto-fail the morons who raised their hands, and distribute their points among those who did not.
