>unless something has drastically changed in the last few years (I graduated fairly recently) then the idea of censorship on university campuses is super overblown.

You are a lying leftist.

>The Disappearing Conservative Professor

>In Compromising Scholarship, a 2011 book by sociologist George Yancey, some 30% of sociologists acknowledged that they would be less likely to hire a job applicant if they knew he was a Republican. Yancey further discovered that 15% of political scientists and 24% of philosophy professors would discriminate against Republican job applicants, and at least 30% of professors in all disciplines surveyed would discriminate against members of the NRA.

>Other research suggests that liberal professors sometimes act on these biases. Stanley Rothman and Robert Lichter found in 2009's The Politically Correct University that socially conservative professors tend to work at lower-ranked institutions than their publication records would suggest. More recently, a 2016 study of elite law schools in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy found that libertarian and conservative professors publish more than their peers, which suggests that right-leaning law professors must outshine liberals to reach the summits of their profession.

>These findings are especially striking given that other research shows it is more difficult for scholars to publish work that reflects conservative interests and perspectives. A 1985 study in the American Psychologist, for example, assessed the outcomes of research proposals submitted to human subject committees... The study found that the proposals on reverse discrimination were the hardest to get approved, often because their research designs were scrutinized more thoroughly. In some cases, though, the reviewers raised explicitly political concerns.

The cumswallowing scene in 2666

Is there a series or anthology of self contained 10 pages or so short stories that well written? Something like just one climatic event.

I jave a lot of story ideas, events and scenarios that are good, but can never write a full length story around them. So I want to see if you can just have high impact short stories around a one scene.

Do you think that in another timeline it would have been common practice to rewrite fiction books a million different ways?

Rewriting so the MC is every combination of race, sex, orientation, religion, and even country. You could have an entire bookstore dedicated to every variation of one book.

It would be low cost to alter the story, and not only woukd you have access to other markets, but completionists would by multiple variations, or at least by one other just to see how they're different.

Harry Potter, but all black, or gay, in China, in Australia, etc.
