Jordan Peterson, Bill Maher, University Political Correctness
Jordan Peterson appeared on Bill Maher's program to discuss the origins of political correctness and the "snowflake" culture in modern universities. The conversation highlights Peterson's critique of postmodernism in social sciences and references a free speech controversy involving a professor at Fresno State following the death of Barbara Bush.
The Fresno State student newspaper, The Collegian, published a front page comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler and his supporters to Nazis. The editorial warned of "lynchings" and the rise of a "Fourth Reich." Simultaneously, the media is criticized for using "guilt by association" regarding David Duke's endorsement of Trump.
A local news report featured U.S. troops in Afghanistan using an iPad app called "e-Afghan Ag" to teach local farmers agricultural techniques. The app allows soldiers to take photos of sick chickens or trees and send them to experts at the USDA or Fresno State for diagnosis. The hosts mock the practicality of using high-end tablets for farming advice in a war zone.
