They really need to be presented by people who think they are good ideas. Can't just spoonfeed students 'Here is a bad idea and this is why it is bad.' That's not teaching them to pinpoint & challenge the problems in potentially dangerous ideas & we'll need people who can do that
But you trust all of them not to show students arguments for bad things made by people who believe in them so this isn't much good, is it?

No. I have no say in what they teach in their classrooms.

Your reasoning is chaotic and inconsistent.

How so? You say students need to be exposed to alternative ideas. I say that they are. Whether in my class or in my colleagues, the university is a place of free and critical thinkers.

David, you are a professor of political science. You cannot possibly have got here by being unable to follow an argument or remember what has been said & responded to & what the point is. You must be being evasive & this makes honest discussion impossible. I will leave it here.

Sorry. Perhaps the medium is to blame? I believe I followed your point and disagreed multiple times. You supported a bad analogy, for some reason. You suggested that my students weren't being exposed to alternative views and ideas, which they are all of the time.
-
No. You are. I've responded to all that, explained analogies & clarified my difference with you on the subjects several times. You continue not to acknowledge anything I am saying. Reasoned discussion cannot happen unless you do. Progress can't unless society does. #2 #5 #6 #7pic.twitter.com/OWa4LzwxrL

I appreciate the list. Sadly, you seem to have moved away from the core idea and shifted to some sort of personal attack about my ability to communicate. Perhaps we can try again some other time?
