Ben Shapiro Brainwashed Quotes

Without God, there is no right and wrong ... Anything goes. Life loses value, and with that loss of value comes a loss of societal strength.

From its very inception, the goal of higher education has been to challenge the authority structure under the banner of open-minded inquiry.

Only at [a] university is a riot an "uprising," a police officer a thug, and a criminal a hero.

Professors are allowed to teach homosexuality, Marxism (a secular religion), and anti-Americanism, but mention God and you’re out of a job.

... why isn't cutting government spending a viable alternative to maintaining high taxes?

At my own beloved UCLA the numbers are just as frightening. There are thirty-one English professors with registered party affiliation. Twenty-nine of them are affiliated with the Democratic party, the Green party, or another leftist political party. Out of thirteen journalism professors with registered affiliation, twelve are affiliated with leftist parties. Fifty-three out of fifty-six history professors are affiliated with leftist parties. Sixteen out of seventeen political science professors are affiliated with leftist parties. Thirty-one of thirty-three women’s studies professors are affiliated with leftist parties.

There are few colleges or universities where parents may send their sons and daughters without their being contaminated with some phase of the vilest of Communistic and allied teaching,” cautioned Roscoe Dorsey of the National Republic magazine.

As a religious person, I do agree with much of Ayn Rand's profoundly negative view of religion. Still, to minimize her contribution to philosophy is ridiculous. Her espousal of capitalism is incredibly important, today more than ever before. With taxes rising and government intervening in all sectors of life, her libertarian philosophy is required at least to balance the debate.

Saudi Arabia buys up American universities like they’re going out of style.

The real mark of education is learning how to think. Swallowing whole what your professors say doesn’t teach you to think—it teaches you to think what they want you to think. And that is indoctrination, pure and simple.

Question the motives of your professors. Pay attention to how they twist the facts, or editorialize during lecture. Ask them questions. Make them defend themselves. Make other students think before they buy into the professorial mindset.

The brainwashing of students by the university system is one of the most severe problems plaguing America’s youth.

The bias of the universities has deep historical roots. As early as the 1930s, conservatives were warning of the increasing radicalism of the college professors.

with the increased separation of church and state came an end to religious control of the schools, and with that, a return to the Socratic philosophy of challenging authority.

Where the society preaches morality, the universities rebel against morality. Where the society embraces capitalism, the universities challenge capitalism. Where the society supports America, the universities disparage it.

Professors consistently champion the liberal line, but why do students buy it? Why don’t they resist the indoctrination efforts of the university faculty?

parents spend their hard-earned dollars sending their children to liberal colleges. Therefore, students assume, there must be some inherent merit in the views of the professors who teach there.

Professors capitalize on the profound respect students feel for them. By telling students “think for yourselves” and “don’t buy what your parents tell you,” the professors set themselves up as the final authority on morality, politics, and society by discarding parents as moral arbiters. And students buy into it because they are always rebelling against their parents—and in college, this is a sanctioned and blessed activity.

solution must be parenting. Bottom line: if parents do a good job teaching their children right from wrong, as I learned from my parents, when those children reach college age, they will be prepared to fight the liberal onslaught of the professors.

University of California at San Diego Professor Linda Brodkey argues that to teach both sides of the story is unnecessary—

UCSD provost David Jordan is more blunt: “Why should I teach a point of view I don’t agree with?

The diversity touted by the university system reaches only as far as skin color or country of origin. The spectrum of ideas extends only from the left to the far left.

There is no such thing as a neutral or objective claim,”1 said Professor Joshua Muldavin of UCLA. It was early in the quarter, and the professor was explaining to our class that there is no such thing as capital-T Truth. There is no right and wrong, no good and evil, he taught. We must always remember that we are subjective beings, and as such, all of our values are subjective. It’s a load of bunk. Of course evil exists.

When Professor Orlando Patterson of Harvard University was interviewed on NewsHour with Jim Lehrer regarding President Bill Clinton’s perjury, he said, “I think it’s important to emphasize the fact that there are no absolutes in our moral precepts. Kant may have believed that, and some fascists do. . . . [P]erjury is not an absolute.

When asked which statement about ethics their professors most often voiced, 73 percent picked: “what is right and wrong depends on differences in individual values and cultural diversity.” Only 25 percent of the students selected the option reading: “there are clear and uniform standards of right and wrong by which everyone should be judged.

Professor Peter Singer of Princeton University advocates the killing of disabled newborns. Reports the New York Times, “To Singer, a newborn has no greater right to life than any other being of comparable rationality and capacity for emotion, including pigs, cows and dogs.”6 This is evil. Equating newborn humans with animals is absolutely sickening. But that is what Singer is teaching in his course at Princeton.

Without any set of stable morals, professors argue in favor of thugs and criminals. One professor played the “song” “Cop Killer” by that illustrious artist, Ice-T. To quote from the song: “I got my twelve gauge sawed off / I got my headlights turned off / I’m ’bout to bust some shots off / I’m ’bout to dust some cops off ! / Cop killer, it’s better you than me / Cop killer, f— police brutality / Cop killer, I know your family’s grieving (F— ’em) / Cop killer, but tonight we get even (ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah!).

Besides defending gangsta rap, professors will also defend convicted and admitted murderers and murderesses—as long as those killers are leftists.

The assault on absolute morality is the basis for every brainwashing scheme of the Left. It even bestows upon them the leeway to defend murderers and thugs. Higher learning, indeed.

The percentage of Democrats teaching in the university system closely parallels the percentage of communists in the Cuban government.

While colleges strive for ethnic diversity, they actively oppose ideological diversity.

typical of a Democratic constituency: the system only works if we win.

socialist programs that discourage hard work and favor reliance on the government.

If the wealthiest segment of the population has no money, who gives the poor their jobs? The government? There’s a name for that economic philosophy—communism.

The university view of the media says that the New York Times is entirely objective, not wildly biased. Ditto for the Los Angeles Times. So too for CNN. In fact, the only non-objective news sources are Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and the Drudge Report. There is no liberal bias in the media.

Money is best left in the hands of government. The citizens of the United States are too stupid to save for the future.

The answer to every “social justice” question is more taxes and regulation, say the professors.

Professor Richard Sklar of UCLA described socialism as a “great idea”3 and communist dictator Mao Tse-Tung as a “great leader.

Implementation of socialism has resulted in more deaths than all the international wars of the twentieth century combined. Is socialism really a “great idea”? Mao caused the deaths of millions of his own people. Does that constitute great leadership?

I recall sitting in my Geography 5 class early during my freshman year at UCLA. Professor Joshua Muldavin taught the course. Along with learning that Western nations destroy the earth’s peoples and ecosystems, we also learned about his virulent anti-capitalism; the only question was whether he was a full-fledged communist.

The far left of the university faculty are as red as overripe tomatoes. And they’re bombarding students every day.

The Leon Trotsky wing of the university hates capitalism with a vengeance. According to this faction, capitalism does nothing good; it only broadens the gap between rich and poor and results in the exploitation of people for the sake of money.

Inequality by itself does not imply creation of poverty.

most professors—and not just those in the political and social science departments—don’t even aspire to present a balanced perspective.

For years, the university system has brainwashed its students to believe fervently in the tenets of liberalism.

The universities accept into their waiting clutches young, open-minded students ready to learn. They turn out mainstream liberals, spouting the Democratic party line—and that’s just the “moderate” students.

From race to the environment, from religion to sex, from the War on Terror to the Arab-Israeli conflict, universities push a never-ending line of liberal claptrap. The higher education system indoctrinates America’s youth.

Leftists argue that professorial bias is irrelevant to their teaching. They say that even if a professor is liberal, he or she will undoubtedly offer a balanced view. This is blatantly false. As they do in the mainstream media, liberals dominate the “higher education” scene. And just as in the media, the liberal tilt is extremely real and extremely influential.

Thomas Sowell says, “When the rule of law is seen as a bias . . . the principles of the American Constitution [have been] quietly repealed.

Abolishing private property means the unlimited right to redistribute wealth. “If the cause of poverty is the grossly unequal distribution of the world’s wealth, then to end poverty, and with it the population crisis, we must redistribute that wealth, among nations and within them,” says far-left Professor Barry Commoner.

And what gives Professor Commoner the right to take someone’s property and hand it over to someone else? Only if there were no property rights would such a thing be acceptable.

EDUCATION IS A RIGHT! NOT JUST FOR THE RICH AND WHITE!” they chanted, ignoring that the majority of those in the UC system are not white, and that there are more Asian Americans than whites on UC campuses.

if you repeat something enough, it becomes true.

College students are attacked with bias from the moment they step on campus until the time they leave it. The effect is devastating.

Moral Relativism is a widespread disease.

Professors hope to build an intellectual tower that reaches into the heavens, to challenge God. They drag organized religion through the mud and then shoot arrows at its diritied carcass.

... professors are ... intellectual terrorists. May they reap what they sow.

Most economists oppose minimum wage laws, but that never prevents the laws from being written. The living wage movement lives on, not because of any merit, but because it's a popular political move to back anything that "helps the poor.

Truth itself is a casualty as the result of a disturbing trend in academia to fully embrace postmodern moral relativism.

The higher education system indoctrinates America's youth. The vast majority of the professoriate is leftist. This is an uncontested fact.

For Democrats, the goal of society should be ensure "social justice"-a nice-sounding abstraction that boils down to ham-fisted government intervention.

Conservatives and portrayed as members of a conspiratorial power structure.

While the Left glorifies diversity of race and ethnicity, it actively opposes diversity of thought, considering only leftists ideas acceptable for dissemination.

If fears of anti-religious universities were well-founded then, those fears are a thousand-fold more legitimate now.

A woman’s right to choose takes precedence over all—even if that means crushing the skull of a living child and sucking its brains into a sink.

For professors, however, human life is not divine, and therefore man should be able to take it when he sees fit. Without a higher authority to answer to, life belongs only to the one who possesses it, and he or she can decide to end it.

1996 Gallup poll showed that while 47 percent of women were pro-life when they finished high school, that number dropped to 24 percent by the time the women finished college.

If public opinion were as solidly pro-euthanasia as the universities, America would be full of suicide clinics already.

Republicans compose only 32 percent of the law school faculty, according to the study.57 No wonder most lawyers are leftists.

Polls show that while students who just finished high school believe in an active God at a rate of 77 percent, once students reach the level of postgraduate education, that rate drops to 65 percent.70 This may be due to youthful arrogance; more likely, it is due, at least in large part, to the anti-God bias of the universities.

The Democrats running the universities don't separate politics and teaching.

The liberal media hates Republicans, the military, and Israel.

Avowed Marxist and tenured professor at the University of Texas, David Michael Smith, called capitalism “a system based on exploitation and oppression and domination and racism and war—and lots of other things.”20 Right. And socialism is a system based on pretty butterflies and flowers and tolerance of all living creatures.

Professors make “profit” into a curse word. If something is bad, it must be because people are doing it purely for profit. Providing a service is only worthy if it is done altruistically. Professors ignore the fact that man is a reward-driven being and that profit is the surest incentive for hard work.
