I'm a UW senior and have watched a lot of Charlie Kirk's debates. It's the students or opposition who create the "social media worthy highlight reels" not his "instigation". UW is a very left leaning campus as are most universities. Conservative opinion, no matter the fashion in which it is orated, produces a strong reaction because these opinions are not represented in the course material on these campuses. When a conservative opinion is presented in course material it is done haphazardly because there just isn't any professors on campus who believe in the position's validity. I know the term "echo chamber" seems to be over-used but class discourse really can be summed up as a circle jerk 9 times out of 10 and there's no wonder why "social media worthy" content is regularly captured on these campuses.

[@Bloodshotty]

Same here, as a right winger on WSU, it’s also like that. But I want to ask, what about engineering? I thought engineering is same right?

[@claytonbray8471]

​@@jaysaini955IDK about grad school, undergrad engineering core classes aren't likely to be political, but electives are, and UW requires you have a certain number of credits that go towards diversity. Most of my core law classes aren't even about the law, they're about CRT and activism.

[@jaysaini955]

@@claytonbray8471 :( I'm so sorry to hear that, I wish it was about the subject rather then politics. Even though I'm right leaning, I don't really talk about politics that loud. In fact, here at WSU, in my engineering classes. They are nothing but suffering due to the lack of sleep because of homework :). But yeah I feel ya, I had a really mean english teacher who was so arrogant and made the class political. It was to the point that I had no idea what was going on because she graded so hard and her instructions were vague that I did not pass the class. I complained and I got her not to teach anymore and she hated me even more after that incident (She yelled at me during her office hours). Otherwise, when I pick my electives, I do so very smartly. Like I look at rate my professors and do the classes that are so easy. And luckily, I haven't had any toxic classes yet. But I'm sorry UW is forcing you to take that stuff rather then what pertains to law. But if you want, come to engineering, we are very cool people :)

It's the students' choice to go and debate with Charlie Kirk, if you decide to let time pass and skip class because you decided to debate with Charlie, that is on you, your an adult in college you take full responsibility and accountability of what you do. Charlie Kirk is only spreading the truth which is seen as "misleading" or "fascist" in the eyes of democratic / liberal students. It's just infuriating that people act this way in western civilization, very privileged and spoiled.

Paul Kim, there’s no civil discourse that is even initiated when you begin the conversation with an insult of someone else who has a differing opinion from yours.

[@wakeuptheresnospoon]

Stop being soft and trying to police discourse. Why are insults off limits? We insult one another every day when joking with our friends. Why can’t we use insults against people we disagree with? If wars can be called civil, then so can insults. If you can’t take the insult and give one back, that’s your problem. I’m pretty sure Charlie would be more than willing to insult him back.
