You may find this a useful aid for the political side of your blog :
Certain departments of my university are rife with political bias . It was quite the wake-up call when I heard that my class-representative had been charged with the racist card by one of the professors for addressing complaints of students about the poor pronunciation of an African lecturer. Surely this is a valid reason for complaint? I was under the impression that a University should provide intelligible lectures and that it is reasonable to discuss whether this is the case or not regardless of the race of the subjects involved. I am flabbergasted that an ' accomplished ' professor of religious studies is unable to distinguish the separate questions of pronunciation and race .
[You are flabbergasted because you have common sense, something leftists lack. Here's hoping that your innate ability to think clearly will not be destroyed by your time at the university.]
But I suppose it is no surprise from a department that forbids and penalizes the use of the term 'Terrorism ' in essays on Islam and the West because it is a ' contaminated ' word. I can't wait to devote more time to the study of philosophy in my second year ; whether it is tinged with soulless 'scientism' or not! (Unfortunately we are required to study three unrelated subjects in the 1st year)
Thank you for keeping me on the right track.
