The toxic stew of the modern university is gender studies, it\u2019s \u201cSex Week,\u201d they all have \u201cSex Week\u201d and teaching people how to be sex-positive and overcome the patriarchy. My daughters go to a little private religious school and we pay an arm and a leg for it precisely to keep them away from all of this kind of nonsense. I do hope that they go to a Christian college or university and to keep them so far away from the hard left, human-hating people that run modern universities, who should all be taken out and shot.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: ; margin: 0in; line-height: normal\"><font style=\"font-size: 12pt\">This is unacceptable.&#160; Period, full stop.&#160; There is no way, no how that this sort of talk is protected speech. <\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2014\/03\/12\/1284234\/-American-Family-Radio-guest-host-calls-for-left-wing-academics-to-be-taken-out-and-shot\" target=\"_blank\">Daily Kos<\/a>&gt;<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">I not even going to touch the ramifications of a student paying for college with porn, except to say that, no matter how much I disagree with it, it remains her choice to make.&#160; However, I trust I\u2019m safe in believing that the Women\u2019s Studies Department at Duke had nothing to do with her decision.&#160; For Austin Ruse to propose murdering secular college administrators is hate speech, completely Antichristian, and obviously Republican.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the forty-first article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become.
