I think some of these "conservative" students might be mistaking being corrected for being "treated poorly."

There's enough victimhood for everyone, kids. Settle down. You'll all get your turn.

I'm a conservative male adult. If I were attending high school these days as a conservative teen and I was treated poorly by school members and fellow students for being conservative I would literally laugh in their faces.


Why? Because that's just one more hurdle that I will overcome (without the b*tch and moan session or demanding that the government fix my problems) to become a stronger and better individual. I relish and cherish EVERY hurdle and obstacle because they are learning experiences.


You can't stop me, just try. I will prove you wrong every time.

No surprise, I am not liberal nor conservative, but regarding college at least, any time you took a stance on something that aligned with anything deemed "conservative", it was met with harsh criticism.

Given how much someone's life depends on their success at college, it is better to just shut up and go with the flow, as to not take the chance of getting poor grades because you do not fall in line with view points of the professor.

Exactly. Not being allowed to bully the gay kid or the Muslim kid or the autistic kid is not actually the same as being treated poorly. FWIW, most of the conservative kids my kids go to school with are good kids, but most of the bullies are conservative kids. Their parents teach them it’s ok to be an *******.

The point you're missing is that out of X conservative kids, how many will have been kicked into submission into abandoning their conservative tendencies and never becoming the conservative adult you have?

I'm sure we'll lose a few in the process as the liberal indoctrination has totalitarian goals. No doubt about that. But we need to find a way to remain strong. Make no mistake, BIG MONEY is behind the liberal wrecking ball. It's an issue that all non liberals face as the cards are stacked against us.
