What is going on at universities?

[image deleted]
I don’t know what’s going on at our universities with students demanding ‘safe spaces’ so they don’t have to meet ideas which might challenge their own pre-conceived crackpot ideas. We’ve even had professors forced out for stating scientific fact rather than PC rubbish by these morons. Universities should be places where we are free to exchange ideas and ultimate places of free speech. If you can’t take that university should be no place for you!

Agreed. Universities are places to challenge preconceived ideas and explore new ones, to embrace and explore the existing order, to learn the knowledge of past generations , to research new ideas and to mature.
Without free speech, we will stagnate. Without free exchange of ideas, we will end in a narrow channel of ignorance where only one path is allowed, and that will lead into ignorance as the teachers of the future have no breadth of vision.
