It's so fucking funny to hear about Biden suggest this, because a required elective course that I had to take in college covered Islam. When it came time to talk about Mohammed, the professor SKIPPED RIGHT OVER his first wife. Literally, he segued into Mohammed and started talking about his second wife, onward. It was almost as if the first wife didn't even exist. He never mentioned her once in any context.

I didn't push the topic, obviously, because the professor was a fascist leftist who went on at one point in the semester about Conservatives being afraid of "children in innocent caravans" last Fall.

They want to whitewash Islam in schools is what they want to do. They don't care jack shit about educating others on the Islamic faith. They also want to highlight conservatives in their classrooms so they know who to grade more strictly. I had to play Allah's advocate during my tenure as a student because if I dared to suggest that Jihad was more than just a 'spiritual movement' I wouldn't have graduated with my college degree.


To clarify, it turns out that the person I was referring to as the first wife was actually the third wife, Aisha. Accidental mistake on my part. The professor never covered Aisha whatsoever during the course. However, he absolutely did refer to Jihad as an "inner-spiritual movement" as well as attack Conservatives during the South Amerrican caravan fiasco as being afraid of innocent children.

"Required Elective" This defines the left.

Nobody would pay for studies degrees if they were using their own money and not roped into it all as a 17-18 year old when making the decision. The student loan debt crisis is a studies degree crisis. I don’t see many STEM majors complaining about their CS or engineering degrees.

“OH MAI GAWD, I’m making TOO MUCH MONEY!!! It’s unfair to poor kids. I’m being too white.”

OP here. I just want to make sure in case there's a misunderstanding, but this "required elective" garbage is infesting more than just the bullshit lapdance degrees. I attended a state university to get a criminal justice degree (with an english minor) so I can apply to law school and become an attorney, and they have whole sections of mandatory credits covering a broad range of leftist diversity ideals that I was forced to take in order to graduate.

Ever wonder how there's literally district attorneys getting arrested for throwing bricks at businesses and other forms of violent protests? It's because the brainwashing has spread beyond the non-sustainable degrees to the essential careers.

I went to a top tier school and we had that too before all this started, but our ‘breadth’ requirements weren’t necessarily as strict. For the most part, no matter your major, you had to take base level writing/reading classes, math classes, science classes, a history class, an art class, etc. Within that, you could hit all the requirements and still not hit a single studies class, though you could take a studies class for an easy A if you weren’t a white guy, which was probably their main appeal to people.

Here in the Bay, that’s probably changing now. I’m hearing we’re going to have mandatory black studies type classes, which is a departure from what it was before. Before it really was just ‘take a wide variety of classes at least once to expand your horizons’. Now it’s moving towards ‘take Double Think 101, 102, 103, and 151, bigot‘. Even APA formatting has now been changed to capitalize ‘Black’ and keep ‘white’ in lower case in reference to race. Why not just replace black with ‘God’ and get it over with?

Yeah, turns out you're right. This is a big oof on my part. I was specifically referring to Aisha, who it seems was his third wife. He covered a couple of Mohammed's wives, but he never spoke about Aisha

Everything else that I said is accurate, though. Jihad was described as a inner-spiritual movement, and he attacked Conservatives for being afraid of innocent children in the caravans.

This isn't the only negative experience I've had with leftist professors in college. I've had three. This is just the only one which covered Islam.

Why in America leftists teach about Islam?

I’m assuming he didn’t talk about Aisha because he wasn’t Muslim? She is highly revered in Sunni Islam but not to so much in Shia Islam.

He is absolutely not a Muslim. If I recall correctly, he's a baptist Christian. Also an elderly white male, which makes it all the more strange.

I say this not as an inherent matter of race, but more to the effect that he is (to my knowledge) a generational American and not an imported Arab-Muslim scholar.

Wasn't she his brothers wife first and he married her to take care of her? I might be confused though.

They push islam because it undermines faith, it undermines God. allah is not God. allah is the "greatest deciever", the counter-point, the opposite of God. islam is an ideology of favortism, supremacy, slavery and rape(also known as jihad). islam subjugates is followers and commands its subjects to subjugate others and so on. It is not a choice, it is an enslavement where even thinking about leaving it could mean your life. islam is the only "religion" that does this proving that its not a religion, its actually more closly related to communism. Its like if you were to raise your kids to WORSHIP communism and the state officials. Its is the opposite of freedom.

Listen, not to bust your balls but conservative students need to stand up to shit like this. It might be the only chance to red pill kids who are oblivious and ignorant. I took on every single leftist wack job professor and ended up on the Dean’s List. Only one professor’s bias knocked me down to a B. If you have facts, you can destroy these people because they’re not used to being challenged by students.

I did the first time, and I damn near lost my academic scholarships. They were a department head, and I spent three days with seven hours of sleep (across those three days) compiling a case file spanning 60-70 pages of documents to present to the Dean of that department. At best, I was able to keep my scholarships and I noticed they weren't a department head the following semester. However, they still were a professor.

The problem with "standing up" to these professors is that they have so much tenure and experience within their institutions that it makes it damn near impossible to accomplish any real change. I had a smoking gun on that department head, because I secretly recorded them in our final conversation encouraging me to drop their class, amongst other condemnable behavior. Yet, they're still a professor. Why? Because I said, it's complicated.

If I absolutely wanted to see that person fired or their teaching credentials destroyed, I would have had to personally escalate my case file beyond the Dean to the Provost, while dealing with the Provost directly on that matter in the middle of a school semester. I didn't apply to college to change the system, I just wanted my fucking degree so I can apply to graduate school. I don't have the time or energy to balance both at the same time, so I turned over handling of the case to the Dean on the condition that they would secure my academic scholarships and make sure my ass was protected.

This isn't the professor on Islam, by the way. He was professor #3. I learned quickly after that experience that sometimes it's best for your own personal interest to either keep your mouth shut or lie about your agenda as a matter of self-perservation. Academic institutions have reached a state where political taqiya is necessary for anyone right of center in order to receive the grades you actually deserve.

I don't blame anyone chooses not to fight it. Having personally been through the meat grinder once, that was enough for me. My beliefs are still the same, and I still vote the same way, but I'll be damned if I ever open up about where I lean politically anymore -- at least in the classroom.
