College Is Pitting Me Against The Church

[Dakota_Roberts]

This is the kind of professor I have for my Race and Racism in America class; we were told the first week repeatedly that any opinion other than the one that would be taught was flat out wrong without exception, that and a huge helping of White Privledge being the majority blame for the problems in colored races.

Ah white privilege ah ha hahaha.
My family is Indian and is composed of mathematicians, bankers, doctors, lawyers, engineers, businessmen, and other good jobs. They didn’t whine or complain that white people were unfairly treated better, instead they worked extremely hard. Sure my uncle makes less than a white engineer at his company with the same qualifications, but that isn’t because of institutional racism, instead that’s because my uncle came to the US on an H-1B and had a lower base pay with raises being done by percent.

I find that POV somewhat amusing, i.e. that an opinion can be “wrong”. An opinion is merely an opinion, if it is presented as an opinion…it cannot be either wrong or right.

The factual correctness or incorrectness of an opinion is a perfectly legitimate notion, however:

i.e. “It is my opinion that the world is flat” is an opinion. 500 years ago or so, the world was thought to be flat; that the world was flat was thought to be factually correct. But as it turns out, it was not. So someone’s opinion on the earth being flat was considered to be a “right” opinion back then, even though it was “wrong”.

So…the “wrong-ness” of an opinion presupposes that the person making the judgment on whether or not that opinion is “wrong” is privy to the objective truth regarding the content of that opinion.

No it wasn’t, in Europe 500 years ago they believed the world was round, five hundred years before that they thought it was round and another five hundred years before that they thought it was round. Columbus was laughed at not because he thought the world was round when everyone thought it was flat, they laughed because they knew the world was a lot wider than he thought.

That burns me up. The abortion issue is so very heated. To Liberal Extremists (please note extremists so I don’t offend a liberal), Abortion is a Women’s Right to Choose. To those of us who are Pro Life, it’s a Child’s Right to Life.

And when we express our opinion, we’re labeled and told to sit down and shut up. As if the academic elite have an agenda to push, warping the minds of our youths.

I’m sure Hildegard of Bingen or Joan of Arc were not on that syllabus of yours.

but those two lived during the Dark Ages when women were brutally oppressed therefore they couldn’t have done anything important like advise the leaders of major kingdoms or lead soldiers into battle
