More than 30 Oxford academics have blasted Stonewall for pushing 'tendentious and antiscientific claims' in the trans awareness training it gives to universities.

The group have taken issue with compulsory training that includes statements such as 'gender is how people interpret and view themselves' and expressed this in a letter, reports the Sunday Times.

It calls for universities to sever links with the LGBT charity unless it says it 'fully supports academic freedom of thought'.

Academics are also being told to not invite transphobic speakers who do not accept 'that trans people are the gender they say they are'.

They fear the new rules could see staff lose their jobs, and that they overrule freedom of speech.

Modern history professor Selina Todd told the Sunday Times: '[This] is really pushing an agenda which is dogmatic and completely overruling freedom of speech... I am very scared that academics will start to lose their jobs.

The dangers of socialism and group think, replacing real critical thinking skills with mindless dogma. It is the most dangerous aspect of the new Democratic left social agenda, leading to mind-rot and the eventual decay and dissolution of a civilization. Why do people embrace communism, when this system of government has been a proven failure: remember the USSR?

Because Socialism "works" for those in power. And it appeals to the envy held by folks that cannot compete in a free system, plus those who are stuck in permanent adolescence looking to be supported like teens living with parents.

Some people seek fame by just kowtowing to faggot community, they think it's instant fame in liberal media. In reality, it just puts them on a list of retards everyone despises.

It's been replaced by the bandwagon of environmentalism/global warming/climate change

The Sky is falling, says AOC, the world is ending in 12 years, unless you sign onto my Green New Deal.

Disaffected people who are being squeezed out of the middle class, young people struggling with college debt and the high cost of living and all the Millenials can find is low wage jobs, even with a college degree; turning to socialism, even communism, these young people are obviously ignorant of history, or have been indoctrinated through left-wing professors to believe the lie that redistributing the wealth and turning complete control over their lives to the State is the answer to all their problems, when it's just the beginning of a life of slavery and loss of identity as an individual.

The Green New Deal = Slavery to the State.

Then there is the great capitalist Warren Buffet. He owns quite a bit of bank shares (Wells Fargo at about 10% of float and a sizable amount of Bank of America) through his Berkshire Hathaway. Well, during the Not so Great Depression the Federal Reserve started paying interest on reserves the banks held with it. Currently at 2.35% with about $1.4 trillion in excess reserves so about $33 billion a year to the banks. So considering his holdings he probably gets … what … about $300-400 million a year personally from the Fed. He says with a straight face that capitalism is the greatest system. Right now we have socialism for the rich, brutal capitalism for the masses, of course the peasants want a change.
