A lot of people on the left are overly sensitive and can’t tell when people are joking or not. Take the Puerto Rico joke at MSG. They were outraged about what a comedian said, but the politicians calling everyone Hitler followers were ok. You’re right about teachers, a lot of them should be fired. I never agreed with the tenure BS. If you don’t do your job, find another occupation.
Why would I ever trust that any of y'all are joking when you throw the same kinds of things at me in earnest?
Tenure exists basically because of the Great Red Scare. College professors had to be able to educate students about things like communism without indoctrinating them with patriotic propaganda. Shouldn't people learn what communism actually is before making an informed decision about it? Isn't there a place for studying it as a concept, as a theory, and a place for studying it in application? Shouldn't political
scientists use a variation of the Scientific Method, too, avoiding prejudices to make analytical decisions?
Really, conservatives should blame themselves for the existence of tenure. If they weren't determined to eradicate from education everything they're scared of and which doesn't fit their narrow worldview, it wouldn't be necessary. It's as relevant and necessary as ever as we look toward a second Trump Presidency. Quit political meddling in education and tenure won't be necessary.
