      Other than Project Veritas and some pro life outfits (that I guess you would consider primarily propaganda outfits) most right wing journalism is done by independent individuals with social media accounts. The handful of right wing billionaires out there aren't interested in spending money on something intelligent and effective like a proper news channel so all the work is done by kids with limited budgets.

          Well lets see, in the last 53 years there have been 25 years of Democrat administrations and 28 years of Republican administrations. In those 25 years under Democratic Presidents, there have been 3 administration officials indicted and 1 convicted, while in the 28 years under Republican administrations 120 administration officials were indicted and 89 were convicted. That of course doesn't count the current Trump administration which the way things are going now he will be padding those Republican numbers by quite a bit.
          Trump has also appointed the largest contingent of dishonest corrupt kleptocrats to his cabinet than I think there has ever been. S. Menuchin has already spent over 1 million dollars of taxpayer money for he and his wife to travel in military aircraft at the cost of $25,000 an hour. That's a million dollars in 9 months. Same with B. Zinky, S. Pruitt, D. Shulkin and of course the already ousted Tom Price. They love to travel on your dime these people. Zinky also spent $139,000 on the renovation of 3 office doors . Ben Carson and his wife just got caught spending $31,000 on a new dining set and office furniture, and Brenda Fitzgerald, Trumps top Health official was just exposed for trading tobacco stocks. But of course the fish rots from the head down, and the biggest crook of all is Trump himself, a great deal of which has long been known, but a great deal more of which you're going to see soon enough.

            So Republicans telling those who were found to be corrupt that they wouldn't protect them is a sign of corruption and the Democrats letting those found to be corrupt in their administrations ignoring it and letting them stay no matter how much evidence their is of wrong doing, is a sign of no corruption?

            as for Trumps administration I'll wait till all evidence is in and won't ignore any thing that shows it is true unlike you and your ilk who will take any little information and turn into a mountain of evidence for the republicans but ignore mountains of evidence if it is a Democrat. Just like the Democrat party has done for years.

              And yet you haven’t presented a valid scientific argument to scientifically establish that more than two genders. Well, beyond an argument from silence that is.

                      Or the alternative is republicans are more willing to charge their own with a press less willing to expose corruption. Of course, hearing democrats complain about Ben Carson’s wife spending 31,000 dollars while praising Michelle’s expensive clothing choices is yet another example of that hypocrisy acting up again.

                          Let's say the student in the OP had written the following:

                          I'm a "problem student". I express my own viewpoints vigorously in the classroom environment, even when I haven't been asked to. Various professors find this behavior "disruptive". Several of them have also told me they have concerns about the content of the views I express, saying it seems to be "sexist" or "racist". I have been accused of offending and upsetting other students in the classes by what I say.

                          I don't see the classroom environment as a 'learning environment' in the traditional sense where the teacher teaches and the students learn. I see it as an arena for the combat of ideas and worldviews. I see myself as being on the side of conservatism and Christianity. I see the authorities as being on the side of progressivism and secularism. It is their worldview against mine, and so I put forth my ideas forcefully. Some lecturers have described this as "angry outbursts" and "disruptive".

                          Most recently I have been banned from a class for this pending a disciplinary hearing by a panel of students and teachers at the educational institution I attend. I view this as a suppression of my first amendment rights to free speech. My rights to forthrightly speak my mind and express my views as I see fit in the classroom environment trump the other students rights to be able to learn from the teacher and have a pleasant learning environment.

                          I think what's really going on is that the progressive and secular establishment are out to get me because they just can't cope with their viewpoints being critiqued. My compelling arguments for my viewpoints are just so convincing and powerful that they fear me speaking up because it would undo their brainwashing of the other students.

                          In my view the above would constitute an accurate and honest description of the student's situation.

                          If the student had written that, would it change your opinion of the situation? I don't see this as a case of anything more or less than a disruptive student is causing problems in class and is having escalating disciplinary procedures taken against him as a result. You seem to see it as some sort of speech-suppression of conservative views. Can you explain why you see it that way rather than as a mundane dealing with behavioral issues?
                          sure if he was just going around heckling the professors and yelling out comments during lectures, yeah he should be disciplined. But nothing here suggests that. The account I read said he politely waited until the professor asked for comments, even though she only wanted to hear from the women and then he only spoke up after the women did not. Speaking up and voicing your opinion during a time set aside for comments and debate seems to be justified. If the professor did not like his opinion then tough. But if he was abusive in his commentary, then of course he should be disciplined.

                            OBP is right. Any time anyone mentions anything about gender or homosexuality, you go off the rails. They seem to be your "hot buttons" - push them and watch you go berzerk. Outrage just pours out of you.
