Liberals and conservatives in academia

שו"תLiberals and conservatives in academia
שאל לפני 10 שנים

Following the message the Rabbi sent me:

Worth reading:
Although this was originally published on the "Hidabrot" website, which advocates complete non-dialogue and generally does not display impressive honesty or intelligence, there is definitely something to it (although, of course, logically, one could argue that conservative = stupid).
"We liberals believe in pluralism and diversity, and want women , blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims to sit at the table with us – as long as they are not conservatives."

"We're fine with people who don't look like us – as long as they think like us."

It's always amusing to read about separatist people who distance themselves from anything that is not like them, who don't mind demanding equality from those who do advocate for equality.

Except that usually religious/Republican/conservative people who are truly willing to stand behind their positions do not meet accepted academic standards.

You're being stupid. There's no doubt that there's blatant discrimination against conservatives, and their abilities won't help them. By being conservative, they're retarded and can't possibly be talented. Regarding the Hidabrot website, I commented on it myself. And yet there are two differences: 1. The academy declares openness and they are not. 2. The academy is a state institution that should be equal and the Haredi society or the Hidabrot organization are not. —————————————————————————————— Asks: I'm not being stupid. Conservatives are more willing to question the scientific method than non-conservatives, by definition. (1) The Academy does not declare openness; the Academy declares that those who are willing to research according to academic standards and respect democratic values ​​that it has decided on will be granted equal opportunity. (2) A state institution does not have to be egalitarian when it comes to discrimination on the basis of subject matter. For example, regarding gender segregation – I think it's very good that the Hebrew University decided not to allow a separate campus. The principles accepted in the Western world, and especially in academia, do not allow gender segregation, and anyone who wants to be a part of academia must accept its rules. —————————————————————————————— Rabbi: Conservatism is a view that has various expressions, political, legal, and others. It has no connection whatsoever to the scientific method (except in the liberal propaganda that is the subject of the discussion here). On the contrary, liberal circles, especially those that make up large parts of the humanities and social sciences, have long abandoned the scientific method and academic standards, and certainly democratic values. Everything for them is an agenda, nothing more. It is ridiculous that they are the ones boycotting conservatives on such a basis. (1) The academy certainly declares openness under every green tree. Academic freedom is a sacred element of its foundation stones. Any semblance of infringement on academic freedom (on only one side, of course) is met with hysterical screams in the name of openness and academic freedom. Regarding the standard of research and values, see my previous comment. (2) On the relevance of the basis, see my first comment. I also disagree about a separate campus. It has no academic value in any way. You talk about those who want to "smell the scent of academia," and from this arises a hidden assumption as if it belongs to someone who bestows his favors on others, and indeed the academy acts as if it were the private property of certain circles.
