On college campuses throughout the country, conservatives are public enemy number one. Standardized curriculums hold perspectives contrary to conservatism, and the US department of Education does nothing to keep bias out of the classroom. According to a piece written by Lauren Cooley with Lifezette, conservative students and professors have been increasingly marginalized. If backlash from fellow students is not enough, liberal professors will do everything they can to silence dissenting views in the classroom.
The ridiculous and unregulated abhorrent attacks on conservatives occur on a daily basis. Seeing a professor face absolutely no reprimand for destroying a memorial commemorating 9/11, or learning that political bias has absolutely no bearing on a university’s faculty paints a clear picture. Students’ rights do not matter, and we are being taught more and more to adapt to a social norm that disregards individual thought. Hiding behind bureaucracy, universities create impenetrable walls of policy that prevent students from expressing their first amendment rights. If any of the recent events, from CSULA, Saddleback College, Mizzou, etc., hold any bearing on our future, it isn’t too bright.
The fundamental roots of education have decayed to a point where diversity of thought is not a core principle in education, and conservatives are the new counter-culture. They are renegades to the status-quo, and many times portrayed as the villains on campus. A Feudalist system exists in which students are the submissive peasants to the all-powerful administration. They have no ability to question or object for fear of academic repercussions. Universities are a microcosm of a social system that is fundamentally archaic and regressive.
The conservative movement is becoming more and more of an underground movement that depends on those who refuse to allow others to dictate their perspectives. They are the outlaws and renegades to oppression in this feudal system, pushing school policy to the edge, and advocating for the constitution. While they may be a minority, they are not alone in their fight for freedom. Organizations such as ADF, ACLU, and FIRE provide support through legal services. Although it shouldn’t take a lawsuit to protect fundamental rights, unfortunately in our universities, this is many times the case.
We have reached an epidemic in students rights violations, and the first amendment seems to evaporate upon entrance to our public universities. Any policy that restricts students rights should under no circumstance be implemented, and yet they exist on almost every public university in this country. Students must rally behind the Constitution and their rights, as administrators try to censor diversity of thought and free expression. Our values keep this country together, they are the glue that keeps us united. Without these, we fall apart.
There is nothing wrong with feudalism, in fact you cannot call yourself a conservative while supporting the far-left liberal terrorist ideology of democracy.
True conservatism died when serfdom was abolished and peasants were allowed equal rights, at the expense of those born into noble ranks. Since then, the world has degenerated into a cesspit of chaos and disorder. That is what happens when people forget social order, the rule of law and Holy Mother Church.
The nobility were chosen by God to command and rule, and the peasants were chosen to serve.
First and foremost, your education is yours alone, you can teach yourself. Nathaniel Greene was self taught and became one of George Washington’s most trusted Generals….Greene and Thomas Paine were recorded working out physics problems on the top of a drum head at frigid Valley Forge.
The key benchmark is the availability of information…which the Nazi book burners and novels like “Fahrenheit 451” make this a important point to pay attention to. How many great libraries around the world have been destroyed?: All Chinese works prior to the Emperor Chin were destroyed, the library at Alexandria was partially destroyed by Julius Caesar then fully by al-Saladin, the Inca string archive was destroyed by the Spanish. Historically, guilds lock people out of learning some trades by keeping the tradecraft secret.
We are living at the apex of human history right now, the greatest largest library in the world is in existence…the internet…and the capability to learn what you want has never been more facilitated. Learn and collect as much information as you can…because there are dubious odds as to whether this capability will continue indefinitely. At the foundation, no one needs a University to learn or collect info.
