    Either bring something fruitful to the conversation or go away, Karen.

    I’m willing to say you make good points. You have an insecurity about you and that’s fine. We all do.
    You have failed to understand why there are millions like me who think like me even though you’ve vaguely described why we do.
    What is disturbing for me is how you honestly believe the research process is without reproach.

    Departments < University of Florida

    How many departments are at UF? How many do you think give a crap in their daily work about race?
    Sure, there are departments that study this stuff. But it's not the whole institution. Or even the majority. Or even a large minority.

    Why are you so confident? Is it possible you have a blind spot because you’re too close and obviously don’t like to think you may not have all the answers.

    I literally said bad science happens.
    Jesus it's almost impossible to have a legitimate discourse with you it's like talking to a middle school student.
    Why do YOU think there are millions of people like you?

    I'm confident about UF, and higher ed broadly, because it's what I do. It's my career - I'm an expert in higher ed. Broadly. The mission. What it's supposed to do. How to make it better. It's not like I'm on here being super confident about space travel, or farming, or sailing... IDK shit about those things.
    I don't know everything about everything in higher ed - it's too broad a field for that - but I do know more than you and more than 715 on this issue. And that's not an attack, it's just a fact. I'm sure I don't know as much about your business as you do.

    Condescension noted.
    You are probably very unaware of how this works. It’s okay that we disagree. Not good that you compare me to an 8th grader. Seriously, you can’t be this inept in communication.

    You’re only one person. You act as though you can speak for the entire community. Lol.

    Try reading gatorades posts. That guy could teach you so much about communicating.

    I can certainly comment on higher ed with a great deal more nuanced understanding than you - or most other people for that matter who haven't made it their life to work in it and study it. Everything that you all say are based off of limited experiences from your own school experience, or from what conservative sources tell you.

    Uhhhhh. Doesn’t every human have an insecurity? You’re also obviously very intelligent.
    Sorry man, it’s how you come off on the board about higher Ed.
    I didn’t mean it to be a huge insult. Know thyself counselor.
    That’s all I meant.

    It just really grinds my gears when conservatives start debating someone and then when they find out that person has expertise in the given area of debate they try different tactics to downplay that expertise so they don’t have to change their own opinion.

    and yet you’ve accused me of being a bad communicator. The irony. yes all people are insecure. About something. Higher Ed is not one of those things for me. I’ve learned so much about it and keep learning more every day. I’ll never know it all and that’s ok. But expertise doesn’t mean you know everything. But it does mean you know what you don’t know and that’s ok. In your case, and in 715s, you don’t know what you don’t know. And that is not an insult it’s just a fact of your life experience. Just like I don’t know what I don’t know about farming. I can barely keep a house plant alive.

    Sure... prove nonexistence. That's a good one. A rational person would expect some solid evidence of systemic indoctrination and no one has provided a statistically significant occurrence of it.

    When their theory doesn't match reality, they consistently choose to downplay reality and continue to tout their theories.

    I’m consistently blown away by the libbie intellect and superiority.
    It’s why I keep coming back. It truly is fascinating.

    Hey I find your doubling down on ignorance and hating on expertise like it’s a badge of honor to be just as interesting. Keeps me coming back.

    I find your blind high sense of self troubling and fascinating. But mostly troubling since you are apart of UF and are likely unaware of how you are poison to the student and faculty.
