Very good article on the closed minds of the Left
Nov 27^th, 2015 at 7:14am

The totalitarian mindset of the Left is demonstrated very clearly in this personal experience of hers. Where there should be 'education' there is only an intolerant and strait-jacketed view of the world.

A lot of our universities have been turning out idiots with no capacity for looking beyond what their facile and jaundiced Leftwing luvvie lecturers have been telling them.

It's a brilliant article and raises the issue of the next generation getting their 'education' from facebook and twitter.

It is a great article though, I always take my cues on tertiary education from someone who judges her childrens classmates based on their names, suggests people with dementia ar ebed blockers, has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and is basically accused of generating outrage in order to get fame and money.

The response seemed to be at least as well informed and sensible as the position he was responding to.

Geez macca, I think there's plenty of evidence all around us that they get left training in the unis and go out and apply it in life. The evidence is in the ABC & Fairfax for a start.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

I suggest you call it naive but not left. Left on social topic and right on economy, will not be too bad.
