Oh yes absolutely. But if you’re gonna debate someone, you shouldn’t have a button to cut off their mic when you dislike what they say.

The burden isn’t on the professors to go and “debate” him though. He should’ve sought them out. No professor is going to casually come up to a random podcaster to debate him. But they might feel more inclined if he set up a formal meeting/event.

His whole thing was for people to come up to him tho. Maybe professors didn’t want to get into a debate

Then point still stands that it’s a valid criticism to ask him why he rarely ever debated people closer to his level? And when he did (with that Oxford professor) he instantly lost.

Because he was an expert in trouncing unprepared opponents, which is why if you were prepared and got him in a corner he would just not put you in the YouTube video, and every time he was on an even stage against a prepped opponent he ended up losing badly. See his crashout against Cenk Uygur, or that time the Oxford University debate team hosted him for an actual formal debate.

I think a prof debated him when he went to Cambridge. Those kids cooked him too. Idk what he was thinking going up against kids on the national debate circuit 😭

Professors also have some academic freedom as well, although lately it’s been curtailed (even before Trump’s second admin)

I don’t see what doesn’t allow them to do that, but voicing their political views in that setting could appear unprofessional

Depends on if it’s a private or public school they work at, if they work for a state university they’re protected from university suppression of their beliefs spoken outside of the lecture hall. If they work for a private university, it’s all down to their contract, since those schools are not bound by the First Amendment the way public schools are.

Ah shit that’s right, I forgot private universities are like that (although most generally uphold the principles of academic freedom to some extent, even though they’re not required by law, except in CA)

also I don’t think they even get in any trouble for preaching politics IN the lecture hall, throwback to that time my deeply conservative Political Theory professor just preached about how the sexual revolution was a mistake on like Day 2 of class

that semester was wild, she had some banger quotes that I still repeat to this day though because she had such outlandish conservative personal politics about some of the most random shit at times “It is more socially accepted today to be a heroin addict than a public cigarette smoker” is my favorite shit she ever said though

How detached from reality was this woman 😭

She was permanently in a mental state of the 1980s politically. She was a good writing professor, her class on how to write was really good, she was also the only person in the Political Science department qualified to teach International Law. Her opinions on international relations and whatnot were generally very sound, and she had a couple specific issues she was really up on and smart on, but you could definitely tell domestic policy was not her area of study.

Wait until you learn that college professors, as employees of their institution, have professional codes of conduct they must follow. Crazy idea, right?

That horse-gummed troglodyte would’ve cut the mic the second he saw anyone with a fully developed frontal love approaching that mic. He wasn’t an expert in anything other than manipulation, misrepresentation, and rhetorical fallacy. He had no expertise and fueled himself off nothing more than the delusional excuses for his own ineptitude. Good fucking riddance to him.
