It's interesting if they're honest. One of my closest friends is an artist, and has supported himself for about 15 years by doing original paintings and selling them in a gallery. He describes himself(at least to his friends)as "a $20 *****, but with standards." He can talk as good a "message" game as any, but ultimately it comes down to getting on a wall and finding somebody who wants to pay for it.
She thought she had a market, found out she had misread it, and is now trying to dress it up as a noble effort that's being PC'd unreasonably (that last 4 words might be true).

ask me how shocked I am:
College ?diversity council? posts FAKE racist flyers
this is one of the most well-known tactics of the left: create all the made-up bullshit you believe.
College ?diversity council? posts FAKE racist flyers
- The “Diversity Leadership Council” at Gustavus Adolphus College has admitted to posting racially offensive posters around campus after the school’s Bias Response Team received multiple reports on the matter.
- The signs urge “all white Americans” to report “any and all illegal aliens” because “they are criminals,” saying “America is a white nation” and it is the “civic duty” of such Americans to turn in illegal immigrants.

There's nothing inherent to physical science that makes someone lean one way or the other. For instance, I've read that physicists and chemists tend to be far more religious than biologists. So it's not like 'science' is a catch all.

In all seriousness, though. I'd like to know the source of the data, the metric used to determine "liberal" vs. "non-liberal," and the reporting mechanism.

I'm mostly curious on how the term "liberal" is defined in this context.
Not long ago, responding "no" to a survey question "should negroes be allowed to be owned as property?" would have gotten you branded as a "liberal."
Same applied in the early 20th century to women voting, and in the present day to same-sex marriage.

TIL: the only way a girl can learn, is to be raped.
High school student threatened for using anti-feminist hashtag - Red Alert Politics
High school student threatened for using anti-feminist hashtag - Red Alert Politics
A high school student who tweeted a picture of herself using the MENINIST hashtag has been bombarded by rape threats and nasty insults from leftist and feminist trolls.
Campus Reform has reported that Kerby Martin, a high school student who posted a picture of herself in a #MENINIST t-shirt has received real life threats and threats of rape and violence online.
The tweet has over 100 replies, mostly from feminists either hurling baseless insults or simply posting various unoriginal reaction GIFs. This is just another fantastic example of ‘liberal tolerance’.
This isn’t the first time the left has shown their true colors and ruthlessly attacked a conservative who didn’t deserve it.
In fact, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas, who happens to be a paralyzed family man, was the victim of the same type of social media attacks because he’s a Christian.
What is worse than shaming a paralyzed man for his religion?
The answer is: making fun of a boy with stage 4 brain cancer because of the way his hair looks after chemotherapy. Now tolerant liberals are back at it again, this time attacking and threatening a girl all for refusing to become a third-wave feminist man-hater like the rest of them.Campus Reform obtained screenshots from Kerby of threats to her well-being…

Going to wager that this professor is liberal:
College Students Instructed To Write Essay On 9/11 From Terrorists? Perspective - Vessel News
College Students Instructed To Write Essay On 9/11 From Terrorists? Perspective - Vessel News
A recent assignment in an international studies course at Iowa State University asked students to write a historical account of the 9/11 terrorist attacks from the perspective of Al-Qaeda.
“Write a paper that gives a historical account of 911 from the perspective of the terrorist network. In other words, how might Al-Qaeda or a non-Western historian describe what happened,” stated the assignment, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix.
“Don’t worry about the fact you don’t agree with the terrorists, the point of the exercise is to consider completely different perspectives,” the assignment adds.
A university spokesman told The Fix the assignment doesn’t diminish the “tragic events” of 9/11 and equates the essay prompt to work undertaken by America’s diplomatic and intelligence agencies.
...
The assignment is part of an International Studies course taught by lecturer James Strohman, who’s taught multiple political science and public administration courses at Iowa State over the years.
The assignment aimed to view history from “different contexts.”
“Let’s focus on the 911 terrorist attack and how it might be interpreted differently by different people around the world,” the instructions read. “For this exercise, you have to ‘get out of the box’ of our thinking about what happened on 911 and view it from a completely different perspective.”
The assignment tells students this may be difficult to do, but that it’s an exercise examining the differences of people, cultures and historical perspectives.

Oh, the tradition of college. So many say it's a must, that going to college guarantees a better job. Maybe you've heard you won't be able to succeed at what you do without a degree. As times are changing, these overpriced establishments are becoming less and less valuable.
All of your information is online. If not EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION YOU WILL EVER NEED, close to it. Colleges teach broad general electives that usually have nothing to do with the students' majors and the young people are the ones holding the bill. We saw this in Bernie Sanders' fight to make colleges tuition free; these establishments have, essentially, outlived their usefulness.
One student, Billy Willson, from Kansas State University, realized this after finishing a semester with a 4.0 GPA, saying what so many were possibly afraid to say. After all, what would your parents think?
Well, it gets to the point that common sense trumps your parents' ideas. They're just humans, prone to ignorance, like the rest of us. College has created an insane burden of debt on the population of the United States in the last 30 years and, after George Bush made it impossible to rinse your student loan debt away with bankruptcy in a 2005 bill, those of us that had taken out loans were stuck with them.
Willson made a public notice about his move, with a simple Facebook photo and message that went viral.
"Now that i've finished my first semester I think it's safe to say... **** COLLEGE. Now before all you of you go batshit crazy... i have a few points to make.
1. Yes I have dropped out after finishing my first semester (with a 4.0 GPA). And it's one of the best choices I've ever made. Not because I am averse to learning, but actually the exact opposite.
2. YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED. You may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will see it some day. Heck you may have already seen it if you've been through college. You are being put thousands into debt to learn things you will never even use. Wasting 4 years of your life to be stuck at a paycheck that grows slower than the rate of inflation. Paying $200 for a $6 textbook. Being taught by teacher's who have never done what they're teaching. Average income has increased 5x over the last 40 years while cost of college has increased 18x. You're spending thousands of dollars to learn information you won't ever even use just to get a piece of paper. I once even had an engineer tell me "I learned more in my first 30 days working than in my 5 years of college." What does that tell you about this system? There are about a million more ways you're being scammed into this.. just watch the video i'm gonna comment if you want to see more.
3. Colleges are REQUIRING people to spend money taking gen. ed. courses to learn about the quadratic formula (and other **** they will never use) when they could be giving classes on MARRIAGE and HOW TO DO YOUR TAXES."
Though Willson's math may be slightly off, it is close. One study by the Government Accountability Office saw a 3x increase in tuition, relative to the increase in living expenses.
GAO found that:
(1) between 1980 and 1995, average tuition at 4-year public colleges for in-state, full-time students increased 234 percent, while median household income increased 82 percent and the Consumer Price Index increased 74 percent;
(2) the increase in colleges’ expenditures and a greater dependency on tuition as a revenue source were the two factors most responsible for the tuition increase;
(3) tuition revenues increased from 16 percent to 23 percent during this period, mainly because the revenue share provided by states decreased 14 percent;
(4) student grant aid has not kept pace with tuition levels, so students and their families are relying more heavily on loans and personal finances;
(5) increases in instruction, administrative, and research costs accounted for more than two-thirds of the 121 percent increase in total college expenditures;
So, remember, you're not forced to go to these colleges. We may even be at a point where a strike is necessary to force them to go tuition free. Keep resisting the bull ****; you know what's right for you.
