"Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students "for being homosexual or transgender." They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for "cross-dressing," by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts."

There are plenty of philosophy professors who are morons.

Half of all philosophy professors graduated in the bottom 50% of their class. Pretty shocking.

What's crazy is he actually won some award from the Journal of Philosophy in the past. But brain rot comes quickly for people like him, who has himself been plugged into the right wing propaganda mill since at least 2016.

And one of his self-professed professional interests is "Christian Philosophy," so this is totally on brand for him.

That would only make sense if all graduates become professors

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

they were making a joke, not a grant application

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

The joke doesn't make sense like that. I've seen it before as "Since fifty percent of all doctors graduate in the bottom half of their class, should I trust them?" Which actually does work. You can just say he got the math wrong and you doubled down on it
