college fix – Three professors co-teaching an online course called “Medical Humanities in the Digital Age” at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs recently told their students via email that man-made climate change is not open for debate, and those who think otherwise have no place in their course.
“The point of departure for this course is based on the scientific premise that human induced climate change is valid and occurring. We will not, at any time, debate the science of climate change, nor will the ‘other side’ of the climate change debate be taught or discussed in this course,” states the email, a copy of which was provided to The College Fix by a student in the course.
Signed by the course’s professors Rebecca Laroche, Wendy Haggren and Eileen Skahill, it was sent after several students expressed concern for their success in the course after watching the first online lecture about the impacts of climate change.
“Opening up a debate that 98% of climate scientists unequivocally agree to be a non-debate would detract from the central concerns of environment and health addressed in this course,” the professors’ email continued.
“… If you believe this premise to be an issue for you, we respectfully ask that you do not take this course, as there are options within the Humanities program for face to face this semester and online next.”
ht/ lady in red
98% of scientists agree that man is changing the weather??
I don’t think so, Professor Plum Stupid.
Can we at least debate the science of menopause induced insanity?
More indoctrination. Stupid bitches have no business in education
This class is taught by an english professor, bio-chemist and sociology professor. What value to furthering one’s education could it possibly have? Clearly not a class fit for a STEM major.
BTW I am a scientist in the “2%”, so what do I know.
A delightful blend of ignorance and force. Applied socialism would describe most of the nonscience courses in universities.
Any pseudo scientist who claims a ‘science’ is settled isn’t worth their lab coat.
Few knowledgeable will contest climate change is a “thing” it’s been happening since way before man walked upright. What is under contention is how man, with all his feeble power over Mother Nature is able to influence weather.
Indisputable proof that a degree from The University of Colorado is utterly worthless.
Get those women/men/people/xer’s a vinegar and water !
“Later, cunt face”
Can they explain the factual science behind their indisputable claim?
I bet a solid nickel they cannot.
I guess I won’t be sending in my application.
98% of climate scientists agree? Last year it was 97%. They can’t even agree on THAT statistic.
For a second I thought the propagandists, err I mean professors were teaching at the University of Pyongyang. Or is it North Korea State U?
Shut the hell up and make me a sandwich!
I’ll bet they’d listen to Hugh Mongous.
Where da white women at?
2 men – how queer – in the oddest sense of the word.
Good article to showcase the asininity of current education and “educators.”
I have NEVER had any professor EVER promote or state that outside sources cannot be used for information in any course I’ve taken over the past four plus decades of higher education. But then, I went to university when some semblance of sanity was still prevalent and governmental approval of thought wasn’t par for the course.
“Moreover, students who choose to use outside sources for research during their time in the course may select only those that have been peer-reviewed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the email states.”
I would wager these three loony tunes are carpet munchers. Must be something in the chromosomal structuring that leads to abject ignorance capable of snowballing doctoral committees of fellow carpet munchers. Fire them and deport to them to Iran. They will look better in burqas. The arabs will be better suited to getting them ‘tuned’.
The science is settled, ask Bill Nye. Oh on another note, if Obama can just fund someone to make those solar dancing sun flowers bigger, we can eliminate the evil fusel fuels.
What a profoundly stupid time to be alive
Leonard from Big Bang Theory and John Denver are professors?
I can see right off that one on the right is kin to John Denver. You say these are women?
Wow, I should have refreshed the page before I posted. Warped minds …, how does that go, MJA?
What exactly is “Medical Humanities In The Digital Age?” Is this a companion course to “Reverse Transmogrification And Its Role In Osmorific Genenomics?”
At least these “professors” outlined their course requirements prior to suckering in some unsuspecting students. I was duped into taking a course about as equally ridiculous, and when I could not drop it, I just asked the instructor “what do you want to hear so I can get an A?” The course fullfilled some requirement I needed, and the primary benefit was that I could promptly forget whatever bullshit I was required to regurgitate as soon as I got my grade.
Good one, Wyatt! I was wondering what “Medical Humanities in the Digital Age” was myself, but thought that, perhaps, I’d merely been out of school too long.
Imagine a course where the premise is that all dogs are really parrots and you must endure that indoctrination, without question, for half a year. What do you suppose that would do to your mind? …over time. …..Lady in Red
More like “Medical Human Oddities in the Digital Age”. Second semester course titled “Medical Insanity and How to Avoid Being Labeled Crazy”?
I hope those students keep this e-mail because with it the dumb professors have completed step one in the paper trail that will detail to the appeals board how they set out to antagonize, target and intimidate dissenting students with intent to fail them, without ever having looked at any of their work.
@Irish:
Then it’s a good thing that they are in indoctrination!
A major scientific paper just came out confirming that homos are not born that way.
I’d couch every argument in that class with, ‘which agress with the science of homosexuality being learned’ and if those cunts tried to argue it, i’d tell them the science is settled and it’s not open for discussion.
Annaliese Nielsen highly recommends them.
University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. Where the mindless become useful tools. Und U vill LIKE it! Ja!
Looking at the unceasing effort to force this on the world, I wonder how far it all has to crash before it’s jettisoned like the medieval false science it is.
It really does explain why the libs have dumbed America down through the education system. It takes idiots to unquestioningly swallow their crap hook line and sinker.
@Unruly – – She IS John Denver. He faked his death, changed his sex, and became what he always dreamed of being – – a woman college professor.
The Rug Doctor and Professors Bissell and Stanley.
Dear Lesbian Hipster Dumbshits.
The science on how damn clouds form is not settled.
Neither is the nature of gravity
Neither is the existence of the Higgs boson
Neither is the longevity of the proton
Your stance is oppression.
You have become the enemy you signed on to defeat.
Now shut the hell up and go back to teaching kayaking or the History of feminine hygiene products.
It reminds me of how about 15 years ago, a male professor at Bowling Green, Ohio presented a syllabus for a course on how politically correct language stymies free speech. He was summarily terminated. One of the female deans explained why:
“We refuse to allow the teaching of a course that says we inhibit free speech in any way…”
Who on earth would take a class where there is no debate? This sounds like some feminist/left wing/globalist nonsense. All these students should run for the doors. These people have nothing to ‘teach’ you but a bunch of malarky. Their time would be better spent staring out the window.
I don’t believe their bullshit consensus number of 98%.
Since when does general agreement equal truth and reality?
We are to believe that a very rare gas (CO2) in the atmosphere (<1%), of which man contributes less than 5% to its level, is responsible for global catastrophic weather issues? Where? We have had storms and droughts since the start of time. Polar ice melts and reforms without much overall change. Hurricanes are trending down. There are some local things like mountain ice, but that's just it, it is local things based on specific nearby factors. I have science training and I would be in the 2% that calls foul and bullshit.
Just remember that a good portion of our population think that Elvis is still alive and in hiding and that aliens and UFOs are for real. There are dolts, idiots, morons, fools and tools everywhere and they rely on them. Oh yeah, they're also Democrats.
