It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Anytime I see a conservative complain about college professors, I just know they have never stepped in a classroom. Like half of my (outside of the humanities) professors were basic Mitt Romney tier conservatives. Most of the "liberals" would give their lives for a conservative. Unless the professor was LGBT+ or an open ally, they never expressed anything close to a left idea.
My college let people put up fake "abortion" pics and go around with loud speakers bitching about (derogatory sexist terms here). A professor finally got ousted by posting racism on twitter, a bunch of his students and assistants complained about being weird about race, sex, etc, and he got canned. He got his spot back after a year because of tenure. Dude literally compared the nword to people calling Trump orange in class, but hey conservatives are the most oppressed. Economics and history depts were typical conservative/liberal shit. Ironically, the comp sci dept was ok, but the new head was an older tech bro who complained about women not wanting to join their dept. The best teacher they (the CS Dept) had was openly gay, he was pretty cool but strict, and he finally left for an ivy league last I heard. Him and 2 other professors were holding that place together. I bet they're going to tank everything because they won't stand up to conservatives in FL.
TLDR: Academia in America is as a rule extremely conservative.
