If you don’t agree with their political or religious views, it seems like the Conservative response is to start a registry! It has started with talk of a Muslim registry and now it turns to a Liberal professor registry?
Yes indeed, it has happened. A Conservative website was launched earlier this week, and it’s main goal?
To “expose and document” professors whom they claim just so happen to:
“…Discriminate against conservative students, promote anti-American values and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.”
The site is called Professor Watchlist, and this is not the first time we have seen this type of craziness before. NoIndoctrination.org was a place students could report alleged bias in the classroom. However, that site has since gone defunct.
However, it looks like students have another option with Professor Watchlist, as they can report any instances of feeling discriminated against by Liberal professors. The new site was started as a project of Turning Point USA and their mission is to:
“…Identify, educate, train and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government.”
Turning Point USA was founded by Charlie Kirk, a millennial that happens to be making waves in the Conservative political circles. In a statement from Kirk, he said:
“It’s no secret that some of America’s college professors are totally out of line. Everyday I hear stories about professors who attack and target conservatives, promote liberal propaganda, and use their position of power to advance liberal agendas in their classroom. Turning Point USA is saying enough is enough. It’s time we expose these professors.”
While the site was just launched to register these “bad professors,” it seems that the registry is already filled with a bunch of academics. And they all happen to go against the believes of Kirk’s group. Imagine that, huh?
Some of those appearing on the registry include Cornel West, who teaches at Princeton University, for saying that America is a fundamentally racist country. Robert Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor and current professor at University of California Berkeley, was added for teaching his students about income inequality. Such terrible professors, right?
We can only hope that this site becomes defunct just like the last one!
