New Conservative Website lists college professors accused of "liberal bias" "anti-American values"

The site is Professor Watchlist, and the goal is

..

.to fight for free speech and the right for​​ professors to say whatever they wish​;​ however students, parents, and alumni deserve to know the specific incidents and names of professors that advance a radical agenda in lecture halls.

...to expose and document college professors who discriminate against conservative students and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom.

Help us identify, and expose more professors who have demonstrated liberal bias in the classroom

Visitors to the site are invited to out “liberal, anti-American” professors so their names can be added to the list.

The operation was founded by Charlie Kirk, who said:
"..college campuses across the country are the most treacherous terrain imaginable,
The only way we're going to take back the youth of this country is to storm them and that is how we're going to make America great again."

Be sure to see the article for background on Charlie Kirk.

These guys have had this ready to go......

Add all the professors from all the colleges you can google. Toss in some from foreign colleges/universities as well. Give them information overload.

Don't put them in alphabetical order and it probably will take them a while to figure out they've been had.

with this, and with threatening our already highly compromised press, more and more puzzle pieces fall into place.

The search function is rudimentary. The entries are poorly written and whiny. Perhaps it's worth keeping an eye on, but it seems more pathetic than threatening at this time.

There are a couple of entries that might warrant an investigation, but why not do that through the system in place at your university?

Also - a tweet critiquing a president-elect is a problem?

There has already been an organized effort to "police" liberal professors which encourages students to record lectures. That's been going on for at least 15 years.

See we get to have a day in things too! By suppressing the other side, that's exactly what Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia did.

To conservatives, anything not permitted in Leviticus is "radical", which is, ironically, an extremely radical view. They need to learn that most people are radicals by their definition.
