Living The Nightmare Of A Conservative On A College Campus

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

You've heard the stories, and maybe you know someone who has dipped his or her toes into the cesspool of campus liberalism. But you don't believe that campuses are as liberal as they say.

Well, you can believe the hype. They are.

The campus atmosphere, professors and many students are just as liberal, tree-hugging and socialism-loving as a conservative might imagine. How do I know? I have lived the nightmare for three years at Furman University in Greenville, S.C.

From my first day on campus as a freshman, I have been assaulted by the liberal agenda. It began with orientation, extended to the classroom and explodes when conservative speakers come to campus.

At Furman, orientation skits that all freshmen are required to attend are loaded with liberal propaganda. Burning bright with the fiery glow of white-hot feminism and "tolerance," each skit details "acceptable" sexual and social exploits that students are expected to engage in.

For example, the lesson of the skits we were required to watch included a college woman having sex with as many men (and women) as she pleases. But if a man initiates sex, this can easily be considered rape. If at any point a woman regrets sex, it becomes rape. If alcohol is involved with either party, the sex becomes rape. And if the sex is a random hook-up between two people who don't know each other, the woman can claim it's rape.

The skits also teach that calling someone "black" or "gay" is considered discriminatory language. We were taught that excluding atheists from religious organizations is hateful, and hosting speakers with conservative views is considered unsolicited hate speech.

Essentially, the orientation skits detail that only white conservatives can be criticized, labels are reserved for the racist, sexist, anti-Semitist and every other "ist" imaginable, and that if a sexual encounter ends with less-than-desirable results, a girl can claim rape without question.

I wish I could say that the indoctrination ended there. In a university setting, the classroom should be a marketplace of ideas.But too often, in this marketplace the students can only buy what the professor sells.

As a conservative political science student and ROTC cadet in one of the most polarized departments on campus, I have seen many professors discriminate.

I could have a great deal of fun! About as much fun as you can have with your pants on. Of course I'd probably get expelled after one semester...but it would be fun.

The good news is a lot of colleges/universities now are going on line, so you don't have to put up with their silly nonsense to get a degree.
