Professors around the country are expressing concern that their recorded online lectures may be shared by students with conservative media outlets.
According to a report by Campus Reform, professors at universities and colleges around the country are worried that their recorded online courses will be shared by “right-wing sites.” Many professors expressed concern that their classroom lectures on controversial issues like “immigration” would be picked up by conservative news outlets.
In a tweet thread, professors at different universities voiced their concerns to one another. One user in the thread argued that conservative outlets have a “history of making misleading edits to remove context” and then sharing those videos “get professors in trouble.”

Oh, yes, I can certainly see how right wing sites can edit the professor's comments that "Trump is a nazi," and "Trump is a racist" to present those lesson plans out of context and have people totally misconstrue them.

Algore never would have invented the interweb if he had known that it would be misused to accurately document what liberals think and say. He only invented it to provide easier access to pron.

They are frightened that when the parents find out what traitorous swill they are pumping, they will be fired, tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail.

Well, gee, stop using students' valuable class time to promote your asinine far left ideas.

If a student doesn't need to go to a campus, why do we have multi-million dollar campuses?

This is rich!
When I think about it, iI guess that anything online can lead to haters coming after you. But then, the left has raised up a generation of hate filled progressives. Fruits of their own vine I say.
Let's just see what happens.

One thing to intimidate students dependent on the professor for grades. Not so good to have their Leftist screed broadcast for public examination and rebuke. The professors are cowards.

Parents should have been listening in on teachers at every level long ago. I think whether class is live or online video should always be available and free.

Cockroaches scurry when you turn the kitchen lights on. This country needs a bright light to shine on the Socialist/Fascist ideology being force fed to our nation's students.

For decades these "professors" have been free to propagandize our youth, in the privacy of their own cloistered ivory towers and without any transparency, nor analysis of what I am sure are distortions and misstatements of facts, omissions, and just generally sloppy scholarship. Can you imagine what our children have been taught about American history by these Leftist frauds? I'd like to see Victor Davis Hanson analyze and critique some of their lectures.

Now parents will find out that they are paying outrageous tuition assessments for educating students WHAT to think, not HOW to think. Maybe this is one positive outcome of all of this virus disruption.

It's called 'Accountability'...words in a classroom, in the air seldom see the 'LIGHT' of day.
I think ALL lectures should be Public because the taxpayer is PAYING for them in the final analysis...
Crooked People hide behind a lot of things, the University PhD (Piled higher and Deeper 'Perfessers' want to indoctrinate our young but NOT be held accountable. Now is the time to let them know WHO is in charge, and it isn't them!

So the leftist professors have come out full force against transparency. They know they have something to hide.

at the core of teaching is a search for truth. And sometimes, in that process, i challenged my students to examine their own values. I used a complicated scenario, for example, where one divisi9on manager had to be terminated, and each of three managers had family considewrations that could be taken into account.
And if you heard only part of my example, you might come away with a view that I was in favor of one thing over another. so I guess I understand their reservations here.

#23 IF your example was falsely edited it would be a teachable moment about whoever it was that changed your words. You would end up reaching more people and the liars would be exposed for who they are. Extra work perhaps, but controversy is at the heart of your example. Keeping vile ideology in the dark is what these avowed leftists are afraid of. NOT because someone will change their words, but that everyone will know exactly what they said. Without the intimidation factor a lot of these liars would be unable to counter questions from unafraid students. That is the real crime that happens everyday, not some persecuted leftist fantasy.

Hell, nothing much has changed. I had a PoliSci prof 50 years ago who proudly wore a North Vietnamese flag lapel pin to every class. He's still alive and kicking, and is now the head of the Poli Sci department at LIU. I wonder what flag he's sporting on his lapel these days.

What utter cowards they are. If their teaching is above reproach, then they would not be so fearful. They are well aware that most of the time, they aren't teaching their subjects, they are bullying and brainwashing the children in their care to create a more Communist Tomorrow.

Many years ago, I came up against "liberal" garbage in lectures. I said I would record them on tape to review before tests. The garbage dropped off. Conclusion: "Liberal" professors know what they are doing and are cowards.

As Rush says, "If you want to know what the left is doing, just look at what they accuse the right of doing".
Just look at all the doctored transcripts (Schiff) the left has tried to foist upon the public (Trayvon Martin) (Hands up, don't shoot)
