A new website launched by a conservative group called Turning Point USA targets what they believe to be college professors who are too liberal and anti-American. 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

........................

Based on what Kirk claims on Twitter, he’s also been inside Trump Tower this week.............more

1. Fuckers !

They want a Corporate controlled Christian Theocracy.

They sicken me.

[shraby]

2. Those who attend college can make that a two edged sword. Just add every professor

they can think of. Liberal and conservative, until most professors are on the list.

[suegeo]

9. The irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife

This Kirk kid was encouraged NOT to go to college by his sugar daddies. Read the piece in the Atlantic that I posted below.

WTF does he know about anything that goes on, on college campuses (sp?)

[Initech]

36. He doesn't know anything.

I'm sure his mind has been warped by the bullshit he hears from AM hate radio hosts like Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.

[RKP5637]

6. That, is EXACTLY their agenda! Then, we can look at other countries and how well a

theocracy works. I hate to say it, but under Trump I see America becoming a border police state, if not an actual police state. Any not adhering to the Trump Doctrine/Agenda will be deemed traitors and likely imprisoned or worse.

[Achilleaze]

3. Soon Republicans will be forcing ThoughtCrime suspects to wear badges

...and Republicans have been whining ceaselessly for years about so-called "political correctness." What utter hypocritical fascist bullshit (R).

[lastlib]

5. That's their goal.

They do NOT want to GOVERN. They want to RULE. Oligarchical Plutocratic dictatorship.

[vlyons]

4. Great idea

You don't even have to be a student. Just go to a colleges web site and look at the page listing the faculty. I think I'll start with some Christian colleges, like Jerry Falwell Jr's Liberty University. Google "Christian colleges" to find ones that you'd like to target. Pick a few catholic colleges, like Notre Dam, to get the Catholic bishops pissed off about it.

7. Kirk is just some uneducated white child

Here's an article in the Atlantic about this Kirk punk

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/03/the-21-year-old-becoming-a-major-player-in-conservative-politics/451110/

My take on the article:

Kirk's 21 years old (I got t-shirts older than that) and was encouraged NOT to go to college

(so WTF does he know about any of this anyway. He's never BEEN to college)

Nor does he seem particularly curious about education
SNIP From Article
Kirk didn't end up going to college in 2012. He's now enrolled part-time at New York's King's College, taking online classes at night after he has finished his executive director duties. He doesn't seem particularly committed, casually saying he'll get his degree "in due time."
END SNIP

His group claims to have raised a million bucks. When pressed to see the tax record it should come as no surprise, his sugar daddy back pedals for him.

A disturbing trend I keep hearing when I gird myself to read this fascist bullshit is how they go on about how people no longer value work. It's kind of starting to sound like Arbeit Macht Frei.

More fascists to research, from the article, are
Bill Montgomery

and

Peter Huizenga, who chairs investment firm Huizenga Capital Management, in Oak Brook, Illinois, and gave $50,000 to Turning Point last year,

Pete's assistant Mary Ellen may very well end of being some kind of Frau, too

[suegeo]

23. At a glance Peter Huizenga seems pretty reprehensible

Waste Management, I vaguely remember something corrupt about them. Google is my friend.

On edit: Yep, they're crooked.
https://www.sec.gov/news/headlines/wastemgmt6.htm

The SEC has a liberal bias I guess.

It's just so hard keeping up with all the corruption, and the corruption to come weights heavy on the mind.

8. Read the entry for Indiana Jones

It is simply hilarious.

"...I object to the number of Nazis killed by Professor Jones. He is clearly biased against white fascist groups."

[MrModerate]

10. Here's why things are tough for the no-opposable-thumb set.

They realize, dimly, that their offspring will never succeed without education, but whenever they send them off to college, they just come back educated!

So if Junior is to avoid a shaky career rooting in old dump sites for resellable toilet seats, they have to smarten him up a bit.

But then, he's smart enough to never return to Dogpatch, having found (quite sensibly) that life is better in communities where your prospective mates aren't directly related to you.

No wonder they feel lost.

[suegeo]

13. Charlie Kirk, the front for this site, never went to college

Read the article from the Atlantic I posted in post #7.

The front boy for the web site WAS ENCOURAGED NOT to go to college. He's never been to college. He is sort of taking online courses.

So his parents never sent him away to be educated.

I would love it if someone would ask him if he's ever SET FOOT on an actual college campus.

And then, if he answers yes, immediately ask him which ones.

16. "Oh, you know, any of 'em, all...

...that have been before me all these years."

[Turbineguy]

11. Obedient workers.

People who know just enough to operate the machines.

As George Carlin put it.

[Sunlei]

12. with a totally unfit president, radical republicans will have a field day wrecking our America.

[Vinnie From Indy]

14. I spoke with one of the members on this list just a few day ago.

This thread deserves more recs.

Thanks for posting!

[Marthe48]

15. Un-American!

How do these bastards live with themselves? Freedom of speech? Freedom of expression? Joe McCarthy? Kirk and his bully boys are large steaming piles of manure.

[Bear Creek]

17. Submit

I put don the con. Put for phone number Southern Poverty 334 956-8200 or liberal institution of your choice. Looks like this website could be pull under hate crimes.

[Dhantesvz]

18. Wonder what it takes to qualify for this list

Cant wait to go back to class and tease my professors, that none of them made that list, my entire economic department seems to lean towards a Marxist or at least Institutionalist persuasion. My thoughts on this are freedom of speech if they crazy right wing wants to post stuff like this on the internet, that is fine and may even help encourage students to take classes from these professors. I know when considering a graduate school I am looking for a university and department that will be aligned with my future research goals.

19. The Trump Youth have been dispatched.

This is all happening way too fast.

[randr]

20. McCarthy dancing in his grave

Roy Cohn you devil you, all you had to do was wait 60+ years to fulfill your antiAmerican vile fantasy.

[Paladin]

21. Helluva job, Trump supporters and their Democratic inablers.

Before this is all done, Joseph McCarthy's reign of right-wing terror will look pale by comparison. But hey---at least the nation dodged the monumental evil of Hillary's emails.

[tom_kelly]

22. I had to

throw them a bone.

Professor: Mr. Hand
School: Ridgemont Community College
Description: Mr. Hand is a dull man. He talks endlessly about Cuba and doesn't appreciate people taking his time.

[cstanleytech]

24. Now is anyone really surprised that they are trying to demonize educators? After all the rights been

attacking them for decades because well educated minds are usually open ones and open minds scare the shit out of those are the far right as they are harder to manipulate and control.

[FairWinds]

25. I was going to nominate myself for that list . .

but on their website tipsters need to provide personal contact information (email & phone).

Would someone be willing to nominate me?

I've got lots of progressive credentials.

[lunasun]

26. Storm troopers

The BBC also covered this story, quoting Kirk

...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."

[alarimer]

27. Conservatives are unAmerican, that's all there is to it.

When their hero is Tailgunner Joe, that's all I need to know about them. They are not for freedom, not as I define it at least. And not as it was intended by the founding fathers.

[vkkv]

28. Figures, because even TRUTH LEANS LEFT !!!!!!

[suegeo]

29. Names and money behind this Neo-Nazi garbage

With Riversedge permission to post this in her/his thread, I'd like to point you to my post in the Education forum.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/112411868

In it, I think we should research this web site. And point out that the website and that Charlie Kirk punk have wingnut money behind them.

[inanna]

30. Recommend.

People need to see this.

[muntrv]

31. Hey mouthbreathers! You want reich wing bias? Go to Bob Jones U

32. This is where we need to stop talking and start doing!!!

Send this message to all and every college student or professor you know. If you have friends that work at a college campus send it to them. This has got to be stopped now!!!

I have sent this off to a family friend prof at university circle campus,Chicago. This will spread like wild fire across the UIC campus. Sent it to other liberal art college prof too

Come on!! Put it in the trash bin before it takes off... grind this shit into the ground along with all their ilk as well. Young smart students and their liberal profs are just the kind we need firmly in the fight. Let them see nazism is coming to a campus near you soon!

[Initech]

33. Freedom of the press, religion, freedom of academics, nothing is sacred to these fuckers..

The Trumpholes want it all to themselves, even though they're wrong on everything. RIP first amendment, it was nice knowing you.

[mdbl]

34. Anyone into starting a website for asshole conservatives?

We can make categories and fill in the names and then publish it on the web.

[vinny9698]

35. I just submitted a tip about Trump U. and listed Trump as the professor

We need to flood that website with so much misinformation.
By next tip is Dr. Who at the Tardis U.

[bucolic_frolic]

37. It's a broad brush

anti-American values would be any trying to suppress free speech
