Dawkins worries about the way US university campuses are becoming places for unlearning liberty.

Well yes, but neither Dawkins nor Maher seems able or willing to understand that progressivism is not about liberty; it is about control of an increasingly subject and dependent population. They congratulate themselves on being “liberals,” but might find out the hard way that progressives are not liberals in any classical sense.

Note:  I was originally alerted to this item by a friend who noted, in what may have been an earlier version of the clip (I saw it), that they started by focusing on how wrong the idea of design in nature is.  Can’t currently find that version at Mediaite.

I am not agreeing with the statement “US university campuses are becoming places for unlearning liberty.” I left New York University in the 2016, and I was medical student there. And now I working with a Pharmaceutical firm that providing FDA approved generic meds like kamagra Oral Jelly at discount price.johnwalker

I think it’s about time all the stakeholders concerned came together and discussed the way that education and higher education for that matter can be improved in the US. Generic Viagraartilegive1961

Dawkins has valid points as well as concerns. We cannot disregard the fact that US university campuses seem to be adopting an unlearning liberty. I think it's about time all the stakeholders concerned came together and discussed the way that education and higher education for that matter can be improved in the US.

What is important about this is the manner by which specific and uneven Maher and Dawkins are. They're all disturbed about the Marxist hostile to Semite Maryam Namazie being banned from talking at a college due to her perspectives on Islam, however have never let out the slightest peep while for quite a long time Pamela Geller and I and other people who inform the same truths regarding Islam that Namazie tells (and more reliably than she does in light of the fact that we don't bolster the "Palestinian" jihad as she) have gotten the same treatment from colleges and different venues. thesis writing service ukWhitehead

First dawkins is a foreigner. Its fine to comment on America, i do, but not insist to impose your values and ideas. Yes britain is not important today but why not try japan? Dawkins is attacking Americans in their own nation about right and wrong in origin conclusions and discussion. Creationists should demand he know his place as a foreigner. In fact I think he grew up in africa. i think. so maybe the colonizing attitude never goes away. What should be off the air is Maher in audio or visual. in fact send him to britain. YUCK. REALLY.Robert Byers
