A sophomore at Columbia University is arguing that the feminist philosophy class he took last semester was “indoctrination,” and that voicing dissent was “nearly unthinkable.”

But his feminist philosophy course at Columbia was different. No debate.
No banter back and forth with the professor. And, no, the professor -- whom Hughes doesn’t name -- didn’t encourage students to attack the weaknesses of any given argument or theory.

“I got the sense that the professor was wedded to the material, such that a critique of the material would have been synonymous with a critique of her,” he writes, adding that “voicing a strong pushback against any idea that the Professor favored was nearly unthinkable.”

Not only did his professor fail to explore alternative views, but Hughes said his professor also ridiculed students who held dissenting viewpoints and suggested that they were evil, citing an in-class debate the professor facilitated on whether biological sex differences exist.
“The assumption that alternative viewpoints are prima facie stupid and evil is the opposite of critical thinking, yet it was a very common teaching method for this particular philosophy professor,” Hughes concluded.
