      Economics is a (somewhat) joke subject and CS isn't.
      Unsurprising that a liberal believes this.

A good computer scientist is analytical, logical, and fact-based. Which is why very few CS people are religious, FWIW.

          Although this thread does lend well to your point - HC is demonstrably not good at critical thinking.

          Someone who excels at critical thinking does not post a picture mocking their professor and not even pixelate the name on the nameplate.

            Looks like there's two names on the nameplate. Do you think both people wanted this on the door? That could have made for some awkward conversation if not , especially if the other person is the professor's chew toy/**** buddy.

              Doesn't the low picture quality mean the names are pretty much pixelated by default? I can't read them even after googling a faculty list.

                  I'm actually somewhat confident I could get this in the news if you want HC. I have a bunch of contacts at Fox who would love to hit a liberal university.

                    BION there are entire Universities dedicated to wild conspiracy theories; in fact, most University still have theology departments. How can academics teach this crap? And how can they receive government funding!??

                            At UBC?

                            Like I said, the only racist doorknob I ever had teaching was a CS prof.

                              Maybe he doesn't care.

                                So you became a teacher because you didn't think there were enough racist doorknobs teaching?
