LEGAL INSURRECTION : PROFESSOR PETER BOGHOSSIAN RESIGNS FROM PORTLAND STATE One of many media sites with this story, I will excerpt from his resignation letter.
EXCERPT: Students at Portland State are not being taught to think, Rather, they are being trained to mimic the moral certainty of ideologues. Faculty and administrators have abdicated the university's truth-seeking mission and instead drive intolerance of divergent beliefs and opinions. This has created a culture of offense where students are not afraid to speak openly and honestly.
*************
I have to wonder what horrors creative writing students experience in my old writing program at a UC where 20 years ago they were on the cutting edge of indoctrination. I would imagine anyone not reflecting a professors bias would have a difficult time. I have to admit that when I wrote papers or stories that leaned into "what they wanted" it was always received well. I also hate to think that characters I might design not to be subversive might be deconstructed as such.
