how does it not fit into that worldview?

"There is none of the indoctrination you speak of" Defunding an area of study because the ruling party doesn't like it sure looks like state propaganda to me. Funding coming from the government makes that easier.

  Why should any Western government fund Critical Gender Studies, or any other wing of Critical Social Justice, which explicitly seeks an end to capitalism, liberalism, and all aspects of traditional Western culture, decried as sexist, racist, etc, through explicitly violent means? These programs are explicitly revolutionary. It's one thing to allow them to exist. It's another to insist they should be funded by the tax payer. Keep downvoting me, but Critical Social Justice is death. I'm voting for Trump this year because of it, and I know I'm not alone. Keep banging this drum, Leftists. You'll get your war.

    Part of a solid academic education includes entertaining viewpoints that you might not necessarily agree with. Academics is the proper place to have those discussions. If your tax dollars don't support an unfettered academic discussion, they are by definition, supporting a biased agenda.

      That's kind of the point I'm trying to make. When governments start dictating to institutions of learning is when voices independent of government are needed most. Edit: I should add that, while most of the people who think college indoctrination is a problem would think it's propaganda to teach gender studies in the first place and defunding it is not, the very fact that an administration has to make that decision at all means that someone somewhere is going to feel the government is indoctrinating their children.

  Critical Social Justice is death. Keep flagging my comments, you linguistic tyrants.

  So, a semi-fascist government trying to undermine education is an argument against publicly available education? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/03/world/europe/soros-hungary-central-european-university.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/03/world/europe/soros-hungar... They already got rid of the non-government funded ones, that didn't seem to be any more difficult that going after the government funded ones...
