<\/font>The Lefty Lexicon.<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

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 .  <\/font><\/p>\n

[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.]<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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) <\/p>\n

Thank you for keeping me on the right track.
