ITT: trolling
I don’t respond to or engage with this poster because of his (or her) past dishonesty. I am happy to provide a link if anyone cares to see.
Show me where I was dishonest, troll. At most I was mislead by your intellectual cowardice at refusing to define “underclass”. But given your disingenuous debate tactics on global warming I think the forum knows which one of us is dishonest.
Also reported.
Everyone knows that academics are godless atheists who wouldn’t lift a finger to promote a religious agenda, even one that would destroy Western civilization, which is of course the main goal of godless atheist academics.
While I won’t deny that I usually think brazil is pretty full of it, I can vouch that for some reason the farther left professors seem to REALLY think Islam is an amazing religion leagues above Christianity and Judaism (on occasions, it will be Judaism and Islam and only Christianity is in the ditch) for some inadequately explained reasons. I can’t provide a cite as it’s comes from conversations, not books or papers they’ve written or anything, so take it for whatever it’s worth. It’s by no means universal though.
That article (more like one line comment… but still) continues to be retarded though.
I guess the author of this blog has no problem with the names of Prop 8 donors being made public. Or does this apply only to leftists?
Cool story, bro.
What percentage of professors would you say believe this, and what was their reasoning?
I’m not really looking to debate whether it is better, just trying to establish what “better” means. Like do they mean morally, more interesting mythology, or what?
Of course. Don’t you see? Universities are a right wing conspiracy to turn people away from leftist ideas. 
My Religion 300 Prof only spent two classes on Christianity. Of course, on the first day of class he took a survey as to how many people had gone to Sunday school. Since about 75% of us had, he didn’t want to waste class time going over things we already knew.
I did have a Sociology lecturer who seemed to believe that Communism (Pure Marxism - not the weird Stalinism goning on in the USSR at that time) was the best way to to. She was open to discussion though, and admitted I had a point when I said that Marxism was ultimately unworkable, because deep down, people are greedy and want what’s theirs.
While I would not be at all surprised to find Left-leaning instructors touting Islam in universities, (more along the lines of “Western, capitalist society is evil and anyone ‘not us’ must be good” than with any actual admiration for Islam), the reality that contradicts the linked site is that in the months following the WTC/Pentagon attacks, most schools ran away from Islam as though it had the plague. They did not necessarily fire every Muslim scholar on their staffs; they just tended to drop funding for courses and studies that involved anything from Islam. At the time I thought that it was a particularly stupid thing to do: go into a “war” that is going to take “years” by eliminating the potential to study the culture from which the “enemy” originates. However, the linked site stands reality on its head by pretending that the universities that dropped all the Islamic courses are out there pushing that religion.
That article was mild. Reasonably coherent, by Pam Geller’s standards. No, you’ll have to go back to the campaign season to really get an idea of how batshit, off her meds crazy the woman can really be.
Malcolm X was Obama’s real dad.
I won’t blame you if you can’t get through it; its the political equivalent of the Time Cube guy. If you decide to take the plunge, I’ll pray for your sanity.
ETA: I just noticed that Purdue got the highest amount from this donor. And rightly so. 
I dunno, I found that my experience at college was that a lot of the faculty were bombastic in their support of their positions, whether said position was right wing, left wing, the right to pretend to smoke pot in front of the university gates, or Oracle’s superiority as a database system.
I didn’t note any particular bias overall one way or the other, and lest I be accused of leftism myself, I voted for Bush in 2000 when I was solidly in the middle of my college years.
I would imagine that the faculty of the Pinochet University would be slightly to the left of you, so this statement is weak tea.
American DNA???
That’s when I threw in the towel.
I’m not sure what “Pinochet University” is, but anyway the professors I was referring to were on the extreme left by the standards of society as a whole.
In any event, I’m not sure it would be accurate to characterize me as extremely right. My views are rather moderate or even liberal on certain issues, but those happen to be issues which I’m less interested in debating.
Well, if the donors are so anonymous that the colleges don’t know who gave the money, then the donor doesn’t have any leverage. A conversation would go like this:
I guess the only real problem with accepting donations like that is if you don’t know if the money was ill-gotten, with the donor not having the right to give it…if it’s drug money or something like that.
Really the way to do it would be to start making a large monthly donation and continue until the college is used to getting that money.
But anyway, I recall from the article that there were some strings attached to the donations in question.
Funnily enough, these people probably claim to follow the teachings of someone who said,
Why are some of them assuming it must be extremist Muslims? Why not extremist (in a good sense of the word) Christians?
What strings? I couldn’t stomach reading the whole article.
