Douglas Murray—On Campus: Minority Priorities:

The free speech wars on North American campuses appear to have arrived at their inevitable endpoint. For years, American and Canadian students have played around with a new form of morality in education. It is based not on a traditional concept of searching for truth or investigating and analyzing ideas, but rather on the concept that the veracity of an opinion can be discerned by the person uttering it.

In this way, a considerable number of people have apparently decided that a variety of “privileges” exist that make some speakers vital to listen to and others unnecessary, unless they agree to mouth a set of pre-ordained platitudes.

This concept, coupled with the idea that minorities require special protection from speech, have now finally delivered the moral breakdown that was always waiting for it. The warning signs have been there for years.

In 2010, the former editor of the left-wing magazine The New Republic, Martin Peretz, arrived to speak at Harvard University. There he was greeted by a group of around a hundred students and others who decided to shout at him as he arrived at their campus. They decided to greet him with chants of “Hey hey, ho ho, Marty Peretz has got to go.” And so, a generation of American students who can have had little, if any, knowledge of Peretz’s career or left-wing interests, chose to name him a racist and be done with him.

Being Jewish, a minority group, certainly did not offer any protection, and may indeed have harmed his cause; it already seemed that there were ordering-systems at work in the business of minority priorities.

SnyderTalk Comment:

For a quarter of a century, I was a professor at the University of Virginia.  I was promoted to associate professor and tenured after 3 years.  Normal time for that promotion, for those who were promoted, was 7 years.   12 years after joining the UVA faculty, I was promoted to chaired professor (the highest academic rank) having advanced through the ranks faster than anyone in our school’s history.

I’m not saying these things to toot my own horn.  I want to make a point, and my experience in academia bolsters it.

Those who don’t know any better and those who think they know things that they really don’t know tend to believe that UVA is a conservative university.  That’s hogwash.

Using today’s commonly accepted definitions of the words “liberal” and “conservative”, UVA is like most other major universities.  The faculty and administrators tend to be “liberal progressives”.

During my 25 years at UVA, I watched as the school morphed from a place where productivity mattered most to a place where buying into the prevailing way of thinking mattered most.  I did everything I could do to prevent it from happening, but it was no use.

This is the takeaway.  Please don’t discount it.  “Liberal progressives” run most universities in the U.S. today, UVA included, and most of them believe that education and indoctrination are synonymous.

Thus, most of our institutions of “higher learning” are anything but.  They are indoctrination centers where “liberal progressives” attempt to brainwash bright young people.

Of course, they will deny that claim vociferously, but the facts speak for themselves.  I witnessed the problem first-hand at a great university.

See “Europe’s Out-of-Control Censorship”.  It addresses the same problem on a larger scale.

“If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7: 14)

Change that Yahweh calls “good” begins in the hearts of believers—people who are recognizable because they are different.

We are different because we belong to Him and are called by His Name.  We are Yahweh’s people, His followers.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
