Anyone who doesn`t agree with the herd is immediately shouted down (normally by the coward`s method of tearing them apart on social media) and de-platformed. God alone knows what kind of citizens we will have produced in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Been going on for a long time now, people being "no platformed" so they cannot attend events, Student unions banning / protesting events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think that had Karl Marx been doing the rounds today he would've been de-platformed for calling his seminal work The Communist MANifesto.

nebristolred Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 As someone who graduated 5 years ago can I just say... this notion that universities are some sort of left-wing institutions where liberal propaganda is indoctrinated into the students is complete and utter bollocks.

I graduated 2 and a half years ago and studied in a very labour sector (Welsh history in south wales) and I did not at any time have my sometimes differing opinions shouting down nor was I indoctrinated. It was very respectful. That seems to be lost in general political discourse today. In fact, the mainstream media should be more tolerant of opposing views like my time at University Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
