Most college Republicans here despise Trump and many are considering not voting at all in the Presidential contest.

That's because American universities are failing our youth by indoctrinating them with left-wing propaganda in the classroom. Just look at all these college professors. They're all liberal democrats. And then we wonder what's wrong with our country.

Care demonstrating how this indoctrination is taking place? Because all I'm hearing from you are the standard anti-intellectual right-wing talking points used to defund our education systems and dumb down the population or reduce opportunities for those who could have afforded it otherwise.

Just look at what's happening on these college campuses with their safe spaces, trigger warnings, white privilege crap, and teaching how capitalism is bad, that America has done nothing but kill people and invaded everyone as if we haven't done anything good. Or look at them teaching about "global warming". Now they're even trying to force little girls to share the bathroom with guys at school. How is that not indoctrinating?

lol, okay then, where do I begin?

1) Safe spaces and trigger warnings are part of a larger social effort to be more conscientious of other people. If you think this lifts up some sort of weakness, then you don't understand it.

2) White privilege exists. Get over it if you can't acknowledge it. Being a white man myself, I do.

3) Capitalism is taught to have both merits and shortcomings, like any other economic system.

4) America has done a lot of killing and invading, obviously, but we're still a great nation and the positions taken on this are factual and based on each student's worldview. No class in a self-respecting university requires a particular ideology for a student's success. Again, a washed-up talking point with no substance.

5) Global warming is a fact, just like gravity is a constant force. If you are anti-science and anti-facts then the University is not for you, but don't drag down the rest of society with your bronze age belief system.

6) Nobody is trying to "force little girls" or "women" (for that matter) to share bathrooms with guys on school. If you're referring to the trans community by this, you're wasting my time. This is a non-issue that was brought up recently by the GOP to divide us further. Why are we talking about this while convicted rapists and pedophiles are sharing bathrooms with children, regardless of gender? Really.

You probably went into debt to be taught this nonsense lmao. Shows what your education was worth.

1. No they're just to coddle people and shelter them from the real world like babies rather than making grow up and deal with reality. Life sucks sometimes and people aren't going to hold your hand. Deal with it.

2. White privilege is complete nonsense. There are poor white people too and white people are killed by police more than blacks. There are white people who face racist attacks too. If you think this is just for minorities then it just shows how little you know.

3. That's fine if capitalism is taught like that. But it's not. People are taught that the failed communist countries were better than ours and more just. Look at all these college kids supporting communist Bernie Sanders!

4. Yeah we've done some bad in history. No doubt. But all this blame about America causing terrorism and stuff that college kids talk is just more anti-American rhetoric. They had to learn it somewhere.

5. It's a theory not a fact. Figure out the difference. Besides there's no proof for it anyway. If anything the earth has been cooling the past 20 years. Experts have shown this to be true.

6. This was an issue started by the liberals because they want to force their perverted ideas of "gender" on our kids and risk our daughters using the bathroom with men. Do you deny that perverts could take advantage of these new rules Obama single-handedly forced on our schools?

1) You don't understand it. Go research it.

2) White people face discrimination, not racism. Racism has to be institutionalized and systematic; discrimination is racism without those aspects. Of course, white privilege is a lot more than just racism. It's about not experiencing innately-built road blocks on practically every aspect of life ASIDE from whatever usually could ail someone, e.g poverty.

The rulings on the convicted college-age rapists versus African-Americans who are charged with the same crime are a prime example, but also being the target of: racial profiling, stereotypical-belief-held institutional roadblocks, etc.

3) It is taught like that. Sorry to burst your bubble. The problem is that when people think critically of anything, they won't see it as infallible against other systems, and that's what creates the perception that you think is there, but isn't.

4) College courses do not teach anyone to hate America. Do you not get this?

5) You're trying to lecture a PhD student on the definition of the scientific method. A scientific theory is not a social theory. They are very different senses of the homonym "theory." A scientific theory is tested and tried thousands of times before it's called that. It offers a model from which we can understand observable phenomena.

Yes, scientific theories are open to revision, but the EVENT ITSELF never changes, just the explanation for it, if ever. Global warming is the event. It's there. You can say it doesn't exist and close your eyes, but it's there, sorry. You can argue for how it's better to solve it or reduce its effects, but not its existence.

6) As far as I know, HB2 and McCrory are not liberal in any way. Also, answer my question. More politicians have committed sex crimes in bathrooms than trans folk. Why aren't you legislating that?

I mean these walls of text don't really hold up when the group of people we are talking about is the college Republicans, which for the most part are just as conservative as the average GOP primary voter. They're not being swayed by the words of liberal professors; they've been driven away by Trump himself.

This is true, but I'm making a broader point.
