Ah, so they mean “The Liberals”. This meme could pass for Conservative or Leftist depending on the author.

So now you know exactly what’s meant by “universities”. Anyone who saw that and wasn’t immediately suspicious is, I’m sorry, completely media-illiterate.

In the article he mentions that he also listens to Marx, so author is clearly conservative.

Ya, I bet university is not in that list because of their responses to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

As a Canadian i think there’s a little confusion here because the roles universities play are a bit different here vs the US. I went to uni and I don’t remember extremely biased teachings myself, and I studied economics.
I’m only very slightly familiar with the Babylon bee as parody kind of like the onion or hard times, but I’m not very familiar with their actual leanings.

It’s right-wing onion. That’s why they’re spitting at universities.

Good to know, that makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t seen them in years so I had forgotten. Thanks for the clarification!

When you talk about American conservatives, you’re talking about people to whom everything to the left of a church collection plate is extreme left

A college education is increasingly becoming the political dividing line in the US so the right is trying to degrade trust in the university and education in general.

My university had extremely biased teachings. Never once did they present me with alternative physics. And in the humanities they made me stay on topic and provide well reasoned evidence for whatever position I took.
