Iup professor alison downie8/30/2023 disrupting a class so you can debate gender polarity is a gross disservice to the other students who arent there to bask in their own spotlights.Alison Downie earned her PhD in Systematic Theology at Duquesne University (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) with a concentration in Christian Feminist Theology. Thaaaats a fucking great point and i hadnt really considered it.īut even so i think part of being a student is being able to quietly absorb lessons you dont agree with and choosing an appropriate way/forum to voice your opinions. If its mandated to graduate like "ethnic studies" is, then its a farce. I agree with this view, if this was an elective class. I am sure the account the person is giving isn't entirely accurate, but I am also sure this teacher is way out of line and if you switched their policy of "men have to wait to speak" to "women have to wait to speak" they would be fired and packing their bags right already, and this would be front page of all the major news outlets and the narrative would be how this kid is a hero for standing up against discrimination.īut the teacher is blatantly discriminating against men, which is ok, so the narrative is he is an alt right agitator who can't follow rules. The problem isn't "equal time," the problem is there is a huge bias in how rules are enforced and a lot of discrimination going on. If its mandated to graduate like "ethnic studies" is, then its a farce.The only problem is that any teacher who said men or white people got to speak first would be instantly fired, and we all know it. if you're not willing or capable of learning whats being taught, you fucked up you're in the wrong class, regardless of what roger stone, ann coultier, and milo yandandsfasdf tell you. You're not there to debate, you're there to learn. If you dont agree with a course, drop out of it. Right wingers dont get to tell teachers what to teach or how to teach it. This neo-egalitarian concern right wingers have for 'equal time' in education curriculums is an obvious attempt to shoe-horn their archaic and increasingly irrelevant world-view into dialogs they have no right to influence. It's really a lot of bullshit, because most colleges now require "ethnic studies" type courses, supposedly to expose all students to diversity in cultures, but then the students aren't allowed to have their own opinions. Even I had to do this a few times, and this was back in the early '90s when the problem wasn't nearly as bad. It is not an uncommon situation to have to write essays claiming to have political/social views you really don't believe, simply to avoid the wrath of the fanatical leftist professor. So they basically hold everyone's ideology hostage, and will flunk anyone who dares walk off the straight and narrow of the extremist views being presented. These professors think they are queens and kings of their little castles, and they know that students need to pass or they can't graduate. However, there are many required courses at colleges where professors act this way, and the student is stuck either pretending to agree or failing. If you knowingly take a leftist college class as an elective, and then the professor runs it in a way you don't like, you only have yourself to blame. Downie attempted to silence me because I am not a woman.” “I objected to the use of the anecdotal accounts of one woman’s experience to begin a discussion in which they were considered reality. So, I decided it was permissible for me to enter the conversation, especially because I felt the conversation itself was completely inappropriate in its structure,” Ingle told Campus Reform. Thirty seconds or so passed and still no woman had spoken. “The floor was opened, and not a single woman spoke. Barring men from speaking until the women in the class have had their chance to speak.”… Following the video, Ingle wrote that the instructor “opened the floor to WOMEN ONLY. A student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania has been barred from attending a religious studies class required for graduation after pointing out that there are only two genders…Īccording to Lake Ingle, the class was forced to watch a Ted-Talk on February 28 featuring Paula Stone, a transgender woman, who gave examples of “mansplaining,” “male privilege,” and systematic sexism.
