Droopy: My Research on the Takeover of Academia

[_bcspace]

This sounds like most professors I know. They want you to be articulate, skilful, artful, compelling, informed and scrupulously logical when called for (as in hard sciences) but they are uninterested brute indoctrination. No one is asked to bear a testimony or pledge allegiance or take anything forever on faith.

I dunno. In courses where such matters, I've run into some professors like that and also some who graded on whether or not your response was PC. English, History, Poly Sci, etc. and by all accounts, Law. Enough of them to feel confident that Liberals and other Regressives have taken over academia. Fortunately, while there are regressive profs in the sciences, much of that work has little direct bearing on politics.

I'd love to hear a detailed example with names and verifiable or at least plausible specifics.

I have a feeling that what you call politically correct is more like plain old correct (as in factual).

But, let's hear it. (Otherwise we can assume you are blowing some out your rump.)

Isn't that the default assumption with bcspace?
