Washington State University has soared to new heights of moonbattery.

Selena Breikss who teaches Women and popular Culture threatens grade reductions if the term "illegal alien", or "male" or "female" is used up to and including failing the course.

But that's not all, Rebecca Fowler teaching Introduction to Comparative Ethnic Studies, will deduct grade points if writings contains the terms “‘undocumented’ migrants/immigrants/persons" as it "come to recognize how white privilege functions in everyday social structures and institutions.” Pure babble.

And then there is White students in Professor John Streamas’s “ Introduction to Multicultural Literature” class, are expected to “defer” to non-white students, among other community guidelines, if they want “to do well in this class.” So reverse racism is the theme in this class. Streamas—who previously generated controversy by calling a student a “ white ****bag” and declared that WSU should stand for “White Supremacist University”—also demands that students “understand and consider the rage of people who are victims of systematic injustice.” So people actually pony up money for their kids to go to this "class".

Liberalism as it relates to this university has risen to new lows.

In other words, she intends to indoctrinate students with her ideology, not teach.

This kind of teaching is going on just about everywhere. Students saying or writing anything opposing the instructor's ideology risk reduced grades and even failing. Students have no recourse. Just do whatever it takes to get the A and get out of there.

She is the first one I know of to admit it publicly. This tells you that she is confident there will be no backlash.

If only we had schools that would teach students how to think instead of what to think...

All of this is an outrage, of course.

But I have to ask, Why aren't students and parents (who often pay at least of some of the bills, or co-sign for student loans) not rejecting these schools? Or raising hell with their administrations?

There is only one college that I know of that is totally free of this nonsense -- Hillsdale College in Michigan.

There should be many more.

Wake up, lazy American students and parents!

You're a bunch of suckers.

And you know what they say to do to suckers: "Never give them an even break."

Why aren't taxpayers in general raising hell about state universities being run this way with their money?

Good question.

In California, they buy the whole package -- illegal immigration, massive welfare state, huge deficit, Nanny State and PC orthodoxy.

Maybe the majority of Americans go along with this stuff. It's a scary thought.

Political correctness is yet another radical political tactic (Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals) to undermine an existing society. Obama: Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America.

Political correctness is Marxism
