WHY I DESPISE LIBERALS AND PROGRESSIVES

I read the attachment and was struck by just what lengths cultists, progressives and liberals will go to in order to enforce their beliefs on everyone. They have no limits in their pursuit of social justice and their sick and twisted policies that mandate speech controls, behavioral supervision by elites and control of every facet of one's private life and thoughts.

Read it and weep for America.
The reprogramming sessions had the trappings of cultism. After an investigation showed that males demonstrated “a higher degree of resistance to educational efforts,” one dorm chose to hire “strong male RAs.” Each such RA “combats male residents’ concepts of traditional male identity” in order to “ensure the delivery of the curriculum at the same level as in the female floors.” Mandatory group sessions singled out and shamed non-minority students because of their “privilege” in American society. Staff members kept individual files on students and their beliefs—which were to be archived after graduation. RAs were trained in the zero-tolerance policy against anything “oppressive”—an untoward word would trigger immediate notification of the campus police. RAs were required to report their “best” and “worst” one-on-one sessions to their superiors, including students’ names and room numbers. Posters and door decorations provided the ResLife messages everywhere; one could not escape them. One administrator of the program, Sendy Guerrier, wrote that students “should be confronted with this information at every turn.” Students with “traditional” beliefs had to become “allies” and “change agents” by their senior year.
All of this, according to the university’s own materials, was part of a new educational model that had won awards from the American College Personnel Association’s Commission for Social Justice Educators. The University of Delaware was proud of this “every student” model of values education in the residence halls, which had been implemented in 2004. This “curricular approach,” the university sang, was superior to the old “programming model,” which was merely voluntary and only focused on outmoded activities like study breaks. Finally, Residence Life officials could be teachers of a mandatory program, just like the faculty, and they could reach students where it really mattered—where they lived. The program was a comprehensive manipulation of the living environment to inculcate, unrelentingly, the ideological messages insisted upon by the ResLife staff. It was an extreme example of what Alan Charles Kors and Harvey Silverglate had predicted ten years ago in The Shadow University: a large apparatus of Residence Life officials usurping the educational prerogatives of the faculty in order to advance a deeply repressive agenda.
Socialism Always Puts Dissenters Against a Wall
Socialism Without Walls Uses Whatever Comes to Hand to Deal with Dissenters
Social Justice Warriors at work look a lot like fascists and communists. Indeed, it is impossible to distinguish between them when they don their armor of righteousness and take up arms to eradicate non-believers.

I knew the general outlines, but had not seen the details yet. BEYOND belief!

Zealots believe that anything worth doing is worth overdoing and they have a long track record for disposing of inconvenient people, ideas and laws.

This is a joke - right?

No.
It does put me in mind of the Salem Witch Trials and the incredible shameful daycare nightmare of the early 90s when the courts and juries believed ridiculous impossible fantasies concocted by children and sent daycare providers to jail forever. Now those kids are grown up and at school and running the school's socialist behavior program. It's a tragedy.
