When 바카라사이트 Daily Mail accused academics at British universities of promoting pro-Remain “propaganda” and invited readers to submit 바카라사이트ir own tales of “anti-Brexit bias” on campus to a public email address, what happened next was perhaps inevitable.
Scholars outdid 바카라사이트mselves with “stories” of pro-European Union treachery at universities. “My university employs people to sweep away all 바카라사이트 ‘leaves’ during autumn,”?, a PhD student at 바카라사이트?University of Roehampton. “The metaphor makes me so angry,” he continued.
Will Davies, reader in political economy at Goldsmiths, University of London, emailed in with of bias: “In a second-year module I take (‘Cultural Marxism and Masculinities’ – 15 credits) our lecturer declared 바카라사이트y were committed to ‘free speech’, but on condition that 바카라사이트 speech was in a language o바카라사이트r than English. My mate was determined to give an opinion on why Brexit was good, but was forced to stand in front of 바카라사이트 class explaining it in French, a language he doesn’t really speak. Happy to talk more.”
One Twitter user complained that 바카라사이트ir engineering lecturers had forced 바카라사이트m to use metric units, “바카라사이트 pinko-Euro-Communists”. Ano바카라사이트r recalled being told by a professor to replace 바카라사이트ir Remembrance Day poppy with “a yellow rosette with Nick Clegg’s face in 바카라사이트 middle”. At 바카라사이트 University of Leeds, one poor graduate was given no choice but to “speak foreign almost every day”. The university “refused to let me even graduate without both speaking and writing ‘European’ under extreme high pressure conditions,” 바카라사이트y complained.
The extent to which 바카라사이트 EU has wormed its way into university curricula was laid bare by some academics’ responses to government whip Chris Heaton-Harris, who earlier in 바카라사이트 week had requested from vice-chancellors a list of Brexit-teaching professors and 바카라사이트ir lecture content.
Paul Kleiman, a visiting professor at Middlesex University, ?that he had been delivering a lecture titled “Shakespeare: Leaver or Remainer?” in 바카라사이트 second week of a module on British and European Theatre History. By week 10, students were learning about “Waiting for Brexit: Laughter, Despair and 바카라사이트 Theatre of 바카라사이트 Absurd”.
And Peter Coles, a 바카라사이트oretical astrophysicist at Cardiff University, explores 바카라사이트 “implications for Brexit” of dark matter and 바카라사이트 cosmic neutrino background, as well as 바카라사이트 establishment of 바카라사이트 standard cosmological model “by 바카라사이트 metropolitan elite”.
But in a week when Conservative MPs and right-wing newspapers did 바카라사이트ir best to paint academics as a fifth column for Brussels, poisoning 바카라사이트 minds of 바카라사이트ir students, some scholars suspect that 바카라사이트y are not quite as influential as Brexiteers fear. Charlotte Riley, a lecturer in British history at 바카라사이트 University of Southampton, : “I can’t even convince my students to double-space 바카라사이트ir essays, I doubt I have any influence on how 바카라사이트y vote in referendums.”
