Professor values are currently one of the most prevalent forms of [[liberal]] indoctrination. Toronto professor [[Jordan Peterson]], who had a teaching stint at Harvard, was asked if you should still send your kids off to college. His response was "Send them to trade school," and "I think you can make the case that universities do more harm than good now." <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04wyGK6k6HE Joe Rogan Experience #877 - Jordan Peterson]</ref> Those who hold professor values often lack [[intellectual humility]].

==Free speech==

During the McCarthy era, academia prided itself on resisting attempts to restrict the rights of professors to advocate for Communism or other positions unpopular with the general public.  However, in the 21st Century, faculty are not allowed to make statements that could be viewed as potentially making some students uncomfortable.  So, minority students hold faculty into account for "microaggressions" or the failure to make "trigger warnings" if course material deals with topics that some students may find offensive.  Universities and their staffs are expected to create "safe spaces" where minority students can exchange their pre-conceived notions about issues without being exposed to contrary viewpoints.  These politically correct imperatives take priority over any concern for freedom of speech and/or academic freedom.

At [[Cornell University]], historically white fraternities (which are not allowed to discriminate based on race or religion) are suspended for even minor violations involving underage drinking.  However, when Omega Psi Phi, a historically black fraternity, held a party that ended in a fatal knife fight, no disciplinary action was taken against the fraternity or individuals.  Also at Cornell, which has never been racially segregated and was not built with slave labor, black student activists have demanded that the "Cornell Plantations" a garden that has held that name since its founding more than a century ago, be renamed because the word "Plantations" evokes associations with pre-Civil War slavery.
