My Experience in A British University | Exposing SJW Bias

From day one of starting university three years ago, I noticed a lot I didn't like. In the beginning, my university was very shy about its progressive slant, very quiet. We'd at first only see a few LGBT help clinics, which is standard now and I suppose isn't doing any real harm; except the possible harm of pushing 18 year old kids down a path towards transitioning, but we won't get into that.

Everything was fine, until we got to a certain lesson last year... I made a whole video on this one particular lesson, which I will link below, but the gist of it was that the tutor went down a big old path of progressive nonsense, claiming that humans were naturally androgynous, that sex and gender in skeletons weren't good indicators because he believed it to be assumptive. "What if the person was a transgender before they died? It'd be disrespectful to the family to identify it as the wrong social gender."

I'm not making that up, either. I wish I was. There was an incident where a tutor out and out gave me a dressing down in front of the class because she felt that I had been rude for trying to show the tutor my test results and had interrupted a gay student in the class, though he, the student in question, hadn't been offended or upset, hadn't noticed anything had happened at all and was just as surprised at the fact she was shouting at me as I was. This was just one of many instances of this kind of behaviour.

There is a very anti-male bias in the class. When men raise their hand, they are ignored by the female tutors much of the time. When a male brings up a point, they are ignored in favour of the 70% of students who are female. I had to question myself, trying to understand whether or not this was the case, but after three years in the same university, I can safely say there is a strong anti-male bias by some female lecturers.

One incident is a mistake. Two, fine, maybe she's short-sighted. Five or six in one year? No, I'm sorry but at that point there is something fishy going on. And it always happens with multiple tutors.

On top of that, over time the message boards started to show more and political nonsense, directly advertising the student union group linked with The Labour Party. There was no mention of a Conservative, or even Liberal party, though given that the only real choice for a liberal party is Liberal Democrats in the UK, I'm glad it's not an option. 

Then our Christmas party, a party that has happened for seventy years prior to that point, was cancelled in favour of an LGBT clinic. They had the entirety of the university campus, most lessons had finished, but they had actively chosen to occupy the hall simply to disrupt the event. And the university let them do it, too. If that's not a cultural indicator, then I don't know what is.

Then the lessons started holding seminars this year and my god, they are just the worst lessons imaginable. We all sit and argue with the tutor effectively for three hours, and the end result of which is supposed to be a positive experience where everyone comes out with something of value. Now, I have always been a proposer of debate classes, they are a storied and vital part of teaching, and we do suffer sorely without it. But what is debate class without a moderator? It's this shit show.

Pupils are regularly torn apart by the class and the tutor for holding beliefs that contrast theirs. People are made to feel socially shamed if they don't agree with, say, Climate Change or that women have a right to free IVF/fertility treatment. This is not debate. This isn't even free discussion, this is just aggressive, progressive nonsense.

The tutors have been getting bolder with their claims too, see my video on my experience with a tutor who basically claimed that women are owed a Nobel Prize for the sake of them being women. In bioethics class, the aforementioned class where some quite simply talk down at one another while the rest of the class wonders why they are there, they employed an extremely politically biased member of staff, one who showed Greta Thunberg as a valid source, criticised Trump and sided with CNN, and basically concluded that the media was always right, whereas our prior lecture concluded with a caution over the inherent bias of the media.

She was a graduate from a communications course. You literally can't make this stuff up.

The longer I spend in academia, the less I feel it is for me, and the less I feel I can actually speak up and talk about the important topics we are discussing, so rather than becoming dissuaded from the course over all, I am simply skipping that lecture every chance I can. I don't pay £10,000 a year to be hassled, attacked and told what to think about the president of the US. I don't pay to get propagandised, no. I pay to be taught subjects around science, and indeed on the rest of the course I have learned a lot, done a lot, and I feel over all the course is worthwhile.

But first chance I get I'm leaving the university and trying to enter a much fairer, less progressive one, because I feel as time goes on, it will only get worse. I fear all universities will get this way in the end, and that is truly a shame, but not a surprise. And the further left they go, the more future dropouts (mostly men) will join, and then promptly leave once they see the bias, if they even care about the bias.

I am not a traditional academic, I don't think progressivism is a good step on the path to freedom any longer, and I think there are serious problems with leftist policy, but still, things like this really makes you realise that the university really isn't for people like me, that is, people who are trying to get an actual degree, knowledge and spend some time doing a course of value. Instead the university has turned into a political hub, allowing the mass of feelers from across the UK to populate the space temporarily and then have them be thrust into the real world, not knowing that the picture these young impressionable kids got was false.

I have both the gift, and the curse of having a life before, during and after university. I have worked hard shifts, I have two kids, I have lost a lot over the years, made sacrifices, and above all else, I wasn't a straight As student from the very beginning, I had to push and grapple with many things, many problems, some of which still are an issue to me today. In other words, I took the hard route, and in the end, I am not sorry for it, as it has given me a unique perspective on life. I can see through the progressive veil to the monster on the other side.

These kids, though? Not so much. In truth, the university system does need a hard reset. It needs its funding cut to bare minimum and it must prove that it is willing to offer courses for all students who are qualified, and do so without manipulation, judgement, aggression, and most importantly, without bias against any student regardless of gender and race. You know, the progressive agenda's talking point. Perhaps they should follow their own nonsense more closely instead of making it just a talking point.

Thank you for listening.
