Professor says her left-wing students agree with Betsy DeVos policies when DeVos isn’t mentioned | The College Fix "If you’re suspicious of an evidence standard analogous to a coin flip, the ability of college administrators to competently investigate alleged sex crimes, and the farcically broad definition of “sexual misconduct” on any given campus, you’re in league with President Trump’s education secretary. “Stunned”? So were Shira Tarrant’s students when the gender studies professor at California State University-Long Beach told them that their views on campus sexual misconduct investigations weren’t that far off from Betsy DeVos*. Tarrant gives a series of lectures on Title IX in her Gender, Sex and the Law class, and she switched things up in a recent lecture, as she writes in Playboy: “I decided to avoid mentioning [DeVos] by name in an effort to separate political assumptions from policy debate.” The resulting in-class discussion was unexpectedly intelligent, with students unwittingly validating some of the elements of the Department of Education’s proposed revision of Title IX regulations on campus sexual misconduct: My students saw compelling reasons for revising current Title IX procedures. They agreed that changing the burden of proof from what has been dubbed the “50 percent plus a feather” standard to a “clear and convincing” one would better serve justice … They questioned the validity of the term sexual misconduct, noting that it collapses harassment and rape into one bucket of behavior. They worried about the consequences of ill-equipped employees implementing policies; training tools such as Title IX instructional videos and multiple-choice quizzes, for example, reek of school administrators doing the bare minimum, my students said." In truth, these young people are little more than Sheeple who have been indoctrinated into the environmental, recycling, global warming, liberty haters they are. When they first hear the positions of "Emmanuel Goldstein" without attribution, they accept and embrace those positions as correct. These young people are intelligent, inexperienced, and indoctrinated to believe the utterly false progressive leftist cult. We are witnessing the end of the progressive cult. Social Security, welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, Global Warming, Environmentalism, recycling, alternative energy, electric cars, and all of the cult's shibboleths are failing, at the same time. We know how this ends. When Prophecy Fails This book costs less than a dollar, buy it, read it. It will help you understand how mass movements fail. The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements (Perennial Classics) This book costs about $3, and it will help you understand all aspects of mass movements. The progressive movement (and its Democrat and Republican adherents) and the Democratic Party are mass movements. Understanding what that means is critical to understand what will happen in the immediate future. The young people will not remain mind dead zombies just as the Russian/Soviet peoples did not. When they awaken, when the mass movement ends, it takes everyone by surprise. But it will end, and all signs indicate it will end quite soon. My take is the end will be caused by great existential conflict, either an American civil war the best example of which was our Civil War of the early 1860s (the lesser example is the British civil war in the American colonies we call the American Revolutionary War), or it will end like German National Socialism or Japanese Authoritarian Militarism ended during the 1940s. In either event, the young people no matter how naive at the beginning of these conflicts came out cynics and hard-nosed pragmatists who knew what needed to be done and simply did it. The cathartic crisis of these wars ended in a vast rebuilding of the entire world infrastructurally, physically, theoretically, politically, socially, and culturally. After the Millennials go through this wringer, they will not be the same indoctrinated, starry-eyed, dreamers. The harsh reality of existential conflict will change them as anodizing changes aluminum into a much stronger and corrosion-resistant material.
