I dropped back in 2010 after three years. Most of my professors were spineless, left-wing faggots. I don't want to know what you poor zoomers have to deal with on campuses these days. Post-secondary education was a mistake.

Regarding free speech.
What would the liberal consensus be about free speech if the world was run by a totalitarian dictator that only gulag'd people convicted of worshiping his personality cult or expressing praise for his leadership?
Speaking hypothetically of course.

I went to a community college before transferring to a university to finish up my undergrad. in mathematics. I got all my prereqs out of the way in the CC, but I didn't have this experience there that many of you had.
The philosophy classes were great. I was the only white guy, but everyone was engaged and eager to learn. At one point, a black girl went on a tweny minute rant about why a white guy should be allowed to go to school in a KKK robe if he wanted to because freedom of speech. Everyone read the material and everyone treated the authors of the material with respect they deserve - none of this "old white man" crap. It was pretty great.
