    I knocked out general education stuff taking history, mostly World War I/II stuff taught by a old guy that did all his shit at Stanford, and it was fine.

    Quoting gender studies and all that is just going as extreme as you can with your point which I don't agree with, at least not for UW. There are still normal(ish) people in the other humanities.

    Dude, Hillsdale college?!?

    Jesus.

    Fucking.

    Christ.

    So how many open Trump voters do you think are tenured professors in the History and English departments at the U of W? There is no way an avowed conservative gets considered for tenure. There may be a few normal(ish) people but they have their heads down. They don't have their heads down at Hillsdale, which is why I mentioned it.

    I didn't realize that tenured professors needed to vote for a specific candidate to not be the woke extremist type you've been talking about.

    There was literally a non-woke CS professor that sued the UW.

    Hillsdale just seems like a complete joke of a school. No matter your politics.

    So, if you aren't woke you get trashed by Washington and have to sue. I think that was my point about keeping your head down. And you seem to concede my point that for some reason there aren't a lot of Trump voters in the History and English departments. Harvard is a complete joke of a school starting with their now fired anti-semite plagiarizing President. For some reason you think hiring non-woke professors at Hillsdale makes them a joke but Harvard firing them is?

    THE ORDEAL OF MARTIN KULLDORFF

    According to his Martin Kulldorff bio, Ph.D., Dr.h.c., is an epidemiologist, a biostatistician, and a founding fellow at Hillsdale College’s Academy for Science and Freedom. He was a Professor of Medicine at Harvard University for thirteen years. Dr. Kulldorff’s research centers on developing and applying new disease surveillance methods for post-market drug and vaccine safety surveillance and for the early detection and monitoring of infectious disease outbreaks. In October 2020, he co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, advocating for a pandemic strategy of focused protection instead of lockdowns.

    City Journal has just published Professor Kulldorff’s account of the censorship of his work and his involuntary departure from Harvard. It was something (many things) he thought and said — crimes against the groupthink of the Covid regime. His account runs to 2,500 words and is titled “Harvard tramples the truth.” It’s straight outta Cambridge. It’s straight outta D.C. It’s straight outta Orwell.

    It opens: “I am no longer a professor of medicine at Harvard. The Harvard motto is Veritas, Latin for truth. But, as I discovered, truth can get you fired. This is my story—a story of a Harvard biostatistician and infectious-disease epidemiologist, clinging to the truth as the world lost its way during the Covid pandemic.”

    Again, you just want to make it about "Trump voters". There can't be reasonable people who just don't vote, are true left-center, etc? It's not all whack jobs in those departments. Sending your 18 year old son to do Women's Studies is a DenisLearyFirstOfAllThatDidn'tHappen.gif

    I knew you would steer this into political tribalism immediately and start bringing up embarrassing Fox-News 3am infomercial bullshit like Hillsdale. Go send your fucking kids there if you think that's a good use of money. I don't care about Harvard.

    Let's cut every single college department except STEM to weed out all the leftists. Doesn't sound Dan BonginoFS at all.

    It's about political diversity. And there is very little in major university liberal arts departments, not just gender studies. Political donations run to 95+% to dems in these departments. So, Harvard kicking out a scientist for being totally correct on the major medical and economic event of the century so far is a nothing burger. But Hillsdale for some reason sends you off on a tantrum.

    My wife had donated to Hillsdale before we got married so I get shit from them now and think they're a bunch of loser fags. No tantrum needed.

    I'm not all emotional about the other shit you're crying about. No need for "little guy" comments and comparing compensation packages.
