University no longer teaching how to think but rather what to think

I was reading Men’s News Daily the other day when I came upon this little item. It is hard enough to escape the thought police in every day life. The entertainment I watch is full of subtle and not so subtle messages about what I should think and believe if I want to be a a decent human being. The news isn’t news any more it’s just one long stream of editorials and celebrity gossip; and the schools don’t teach people how to think for themselves any more they tell people what to think. The only place left for free thought and free expression of opinion is the Internet and that probably won’t last much longer.

‘I have been prohibited from quoting Warren Farrell in a University classroom’

Warren Farrell, the ideological wellspring of the men’s and fathers’ movement, just sent out an interesting letter he received from one of his readers. The reader, Mark, writes:

“Dear Dr. Farrell,
“I have been prohibited from quoting your book in a University of Massachusetts classroom. The class is titled, ‘Women in Psychology.’ The class actually teaches feminism. The class was told that your book is a compilation of lies, and your theories do not deserve to be addressed. Furthermore, I may not cite your book in any research papers.
“I wrote you to ask your advice on how to handle this situation. You have undoubtedly come across this before. I would hope you could share a few ideas on how I could handle myself in such a hostile environment.”
Imagine that–a Massachusetts university professor banning a men’s movement text–unbelievable, but totally believable…
Warren’s new book Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men? was recently reviewed in the Canadian National Post here.
