As far as I can tell, college has always been, "agree with the professor or get bad grades." It was that way for me in the 70s/80s/90s, and for my Mom in the 40s/50s/60s. (More than one degree for both of us.)
Outstanding analysis of our march toward totalitarianism. The parasitical left has infected our country and even disabled the ability of its people to think clearly and take action against the threat. In the last election Americans largely voted for the people who were enslaving them, even though any thoughtful and honest person can already see what our slave masters are doing. If people have children in public schools they should immediately find an alternative for the safety of their children. For college students, find non-woke universities that will provide an education instead of an indoctrination. Adults who vote must put aside their own narrow political obsessions and vote in overwhelming numbers to remove the totalitarian thugs before more damage is done. It will take years to repair the damage these maniacs have inflicted on us, but the future of civilization depends on it. There must be zero tolerance for totalitarian leftism in every aspect of life.
Excellent comments from a wise person. People have lost their conscience and ability for critical thinking. A good education is more about teaching one to think!!!
Great post! The sad fact is that many people have their entire personality mixed up in their politics, and they know that if they 'buck' the narrative, they get excommunicated. That's a powerful incentive to stay in line.
Very well written article. What has happened and is happening is such a tragedy. I am an American who holds dual citizenship with Australia. It's just as bad here or maybe worse.
Wow. Amazing article. Spot-on in many, many respects. Thank you.
“If only we had stood together against the common threat, we could easily have defeated it. So, why didn’t we? We didn’t love freedom enough.”
It astonishes me, every day, that many people do not see what we see. I read "Live Not By Lies" by Rod Dreher a couple of years ago. Great book. I heard the the elders at my church were reading the book last year. I don't think people can see that they are actually in the middle of the exact same pattern - right now! I have scheduled a meeting with our pastor to see if he understands where we are in history.
Thanks again - the article is perfect and filled with so many great points I cannot count them!
This article is a masterpiece Dr Brown! Absolutely unbelievable the damage that has been done.
Thank you Jennifer.
The erosion has descended into a rot in society.
The deliberate attack on individualism is criminal.
Non-participation is our best option.
Very hard to do, unless you're speaking of schools in particular?

You are so right. People would rather be liked and excepted than courageous and honest.
