Side note on this: all those college conservatives saying liberal professors are shutting them down because of their conservative ideas and refusing to hear otherwise? In my experience the “shut down” is just being asked to DEFEND their position for the first time and not accepting shitty half thought out “proofs” that fall apart on their own.
Derek Black, son of a Grand Wizad of the KKK, broke free of White Nationalism because of this very effect.
This right here is why it’s so important that college education not be locked behind a giant shitty paywall. The fact that only kids who come from money are given access to spaces that teach and encourage critical thinking isn’t a fucking coincidence
Yeah or you have to go into crushing debt just to have the opportunity of it.
