Don’t you just hate it when something happens that further reinforces a belief of yours? Remember that article I just wrote, about why college, as it currently stands, is probably not the best investment for America? Well it turns out an indoctrination agent a professor at DePaul University in Chicago, recently rage quit her job because her “safe space” was endangered. She also made sure to rely on identity politics, pulling out the sex and race cards on her way out the door, never qualifying how either of these accusations had any relevance to the matter at hand.
Trigger warning: cringe-inducing ideology incoming…
Dr. Shu-Ju “Ada” Cheng posted this resignation letter on facebook, because she disagreed with a conservative speaker who showed up to her university. That, or perhaps she merely disagreed with the fact that people with differing views were allowed to exist on the campus. She also apparently disagreed with the way the university handled an altercation at the speaking event. That altercation involved a bunch of members of a trendy hashtag activism group showing up and interrupting an otherwise peaceful talk, effectively silencing the proceedings. The campus “handled” this altercation by having security sit by idly while this transpired, requiring the engagement to move elsewhere. How exactly she disagreed with any of this is unclear, because she merely writes in flowery language and never actually explains herself.
To sum up her diatribe, she states that universities are not neutral platforms, i.e. they are liberal institutions and should only promote such “dominant ideologies”, while rejecting all others, and privileging “certain groups”. Sounds like she’s a real staunch proponent of equality. She also mentions a “political crisis”, which one can only assume is a reference to Donald Trump’s merely running for presidency, and has nothing to do with all the inadequacies in the current administration’s handling of pressing social issues. She then goes on call freedom of speech and equal exchanges of ideas “delusional”. Quite frankly, it’s dangerous that this woman was teaching anybody anything. How are you a college professor, yet too intellectually dense to understand why free speech is necessary everywhere. Are there not review boards to filter individuals like this out? How many of this woman actually exist at colleges?
She goes on to cry “racism” without ever identifying who exactly is perpetrating this racism or giving any inkling that she understands what that word even means. Whatever this racism entails, it was apparently responsible for a “long history of exiting faculty of color”. It would have been nice for her to explain what any of this meant, but unfortunately in today’s society, it’s become vogue to throw out buzzwords like “sexist” and “racist” without actually articulating what one is actually referring to. These words are essentially the regressive equivalent of a young child answering every question they are asked with: “Just because”.
As cringe inducing as this ridiculous story is, it seems to check out. The woman in question is still listed on the DePaul website and has a facebook page which appears to have recently been scrubbed of all personal information. She also primarily taught fluff courses under the Sociology banner, and evidently dabbles in performance art and stand-up comedy. I can only imagine how side-splitting this comedy is, given that she’s anti-free speech and pro group-think. She probably tells a doozy of a non-binary, non-offensive, non-triggering, non-GMO knock knock joke.
Hopefully she enjoys the rest of her career as a cashier a Bed Bath & Beyond, and is able to bring home enough of a paycheck to feed her 7 cats.
