Questioning details of Critical Race Theory is verboten

I think many students have learned that critical thinking and expressing unpopular opinions will be punished severely.

The University of Virginia was founded to promote free enquiry. Sadly it is hardly the only example of academic repression sweeping US universities:

“I expected that I was paying this fortune, all this time and energy, to learn how to think. But they are forcing you to think the way they want you to think,” Park told Fox News. “I realized, wow, this is insane. I thought America was different but I saw so many similarities to what I saw in North Korea that I started worrying.”

North Korean defector slams ‘woke’ US schools

A North Korean defector who attended Columbia said even the regime she grew up in “was not this nuts” after she got a taste of “woke” indoctrination.

Kieran Bhattacharya

From another article.

In an email statement to The Cavalier Daily, University spokesperson Brian Coy said the committee dismissed Bhattacharya because he violated the School of Medicine’s professionalism standards.

“The student in question was dismissed from the School of Medicine after a series of incidents and repeated instances of erratic behavior that raised security concerns as well as questions about his professionalism and fitness to practice medicine,” Coy said. “Claims that he was dismissed because he exercised his First Amendment rights are baseless, as the facts will show.”

U.Va. medical student’s lawsuit continues next week, following debate over...

A hearing May 6 will consider whether the University violated Bhattacharya’s First Amendment right to free speech.

Of course you were at the University of Virginia and of course you have all the facts so you of course KNOW which side to believe.

I think some people think this message board is an audition for the Tucker Carlson Show.

The better question is why he’s doing the stretching.

Because it’s what the latest CEC Narrative demands.

Yeah, it looks like CRT is going to be the new boogeyman.

Fascism was a summer fad.

Questioning authorities is now classified as “erratic behavior that raised security concerns”. Sounds very Soviet.

Punitive psychiatry is neither a discrete subject nor a psychiatric specialty but, rather, it is a disciplinary function arising within many applied sciences in totalitarian countries where members of a profession may feel themselves compelled to service the diktats of power.[33] Psychiatric confinement of sane people is uniformly considered a particularly pernicious form of repression[4] and Soviet punitive psychiatry was one of the key weapons of both illegal and legal repression.

My experience is that people in authority are fine with free speech so long as they agree with it. Speech that expresses opposing opinions is frequently the target.

They demand to hear their policies coming from your mouth, if not then you must be punished.

Yep, make it up as they go along.

Lol!
Still reaching to find out what so-called CRT is, I see.

Oh well, continue on with your boogeyman creation. Good luck with that

Who came up with CRT and the 1619 project. Was it a right or left wing think tank project.

Wouldn’t want any questioning/discussion/critical thinking going on in higher education would we?

Sit and agree or get out seems to be the order of the day.

Neither; CRT came from academia and 1619 came from journalism.

“Journalism” is very charitable of you.

And CT came from philosophy.

Not really. The NYT is a news organization.
