Reviews about College of Lake County

  My advice to anyone thinking of attending CLC is to do everything you can to verify whether the instructors you choose have an ideological commitment to postmodernism, Marxism, or identity politics: look at syllabi, check reviews online, ask current and former students. If they do, I say AVOID them, even if you have to drop the class. In my experience, they try to indoctrinate students, and if you resist, they go after you. Even something as innocuous as quoting T.S. Eliot will get you on their blacklist, jeopardizing your GPA and making you miserable until you conform.
  
  Criticisms of capitalism are fine, but why would anyone listen to a teacher that is hypocritically earning 6 figures applaud Marxism without talking about the tens of millions of deaths that ideology caused? Or listen to a teacher claim that an action movie is racist because a black man does parkour in it, which--according to the teacher--makes him look like a monkey? Or listen to one teacher lie about the etymology of the word "women" to convince students to spell the word "womyn"? One of my teachers once went around the class singling out non-white students, including me, suggesting we could not be challenged on certain political matters because or viewpoint was privileged by virtue of not being white. Another forced us to read a book he actually admitted that he didn't like himself merely because it included gay sex scenes and he thought it was important that we be exposed to that.
  
  Way too many of these teachers (particularly in the humanities) are obsessed with identity politics and victimization, and even as a liberal, it was difficult to get through that. I can only imagine what it was like to be a conservative at this school. It's fine to have one's ideas challenged, but to foster such an environment where students are afraid to speak their mind for fear of retaliation and being labeled with an epithet is wrong. Why would a community tolerate a college where political correctness trumps free speech and discussion? Why would anyone go into debt to fund this kind of one-sided, anti-Western thinking?
  
  Parents, I recommend that you take the time and talk to your kids about their classes. There are good teachers at CLC, even great ones, whose aim is simply to educate. Then there are ideologues, recruiting for the culture war. College is a great time for learning new things and expanding one's mind; it is wasted on indoctrination.
