Left-Wing indoctrination at UH addressed

 Today, the Ka Leo's news section finally addressed something that I written about in my editorials. That is the left-wing indoctrination going on at the University of Hawaii.

And here's an excerpt of it

The pervasive student fear that disagreeing with professors will destroy their grade is something all three of these professors work against, encouraging students to develop and voice their own opinions.

Still, some students feel that bringing politics into non-political classes is questionable.

Michelle, a history senior at UHM, who asked her last name be omitted from the story, feels "many professors are anti-American."

As a more mature student, Michelle felt confident in creating her own opinions, but, she admitted, "freshmen coming in can believe everything the teacher says."


and

"I'd say it's (UH's political slant) is more to the left, but that's college education in general," said Charles Leaver, a senior in Information Computer Science at UHM. "There's some professors who push their opinion."

Leaver, who came from UCS, claims the atmosphere is much more conservative there.

"It crosses the line when somebody's brave enough to voice a different opinion and they get blasted," he said.


This editorial took me by surprise, since the news section has never address this issue before. But in a few days, I predict that Tobin Jones will accuse me of being behind this Ka Leo expose, even though I knew nothing about it until it was printed and distributed today.

And notice that "Michelle" didn't even want to give her last name. Why is that? It's the fear of retaliation from punks like Tobin Jones and his allies.

Tobin believes it is OK for left wing proffessors to intimidate non-leftist students into kissing their asses. Tobin calls that "supplementing".
