One of the funniest people on the planet, actor and comedian Rob Schneider, who made a name for himself portraying some truly legendary supporting characters in some of the finest work ever done for the screen by his best buddy Adam Sandler, is also a diehard conservative who isn’t afraid to share his beliefs and speak his mind, which is a rare sighting in Hollywood, much like Bigfoot, recently went on an epic rant against the higher education system in the U.S., calling it a “closed system that’s being guarded by “thought police.”
See what I mean? This guy is the very definition of awesome.
The observation by the “You can do it,” guy was in response to another campus protest, this time coming from the progressive sewer known as Portland State University, where radical transgender activists decided to interrupt and shout down speakers because they refuse to acknowledge their mental delusions and confirm that men with penises can, in actuality, with a little makeup and the application of a weed wacker, become a woman with a vagina.
“Student activists at @Portland_State attempted to disrupt our public conversations today,” philosopher and author Peter Boghossian posted on Twitter. Boghossian, which suddenly reminded me of Boss Hog from The Dukes of Hazzard, was on campus, along with several other speakers, to chat about whether or not minors were capable of consenting to puberty blockers.
The answer is, of course, “no.”
“I am genuinely embarrassed for the activists and disappointed that they prevented students with sincere objections from engaging us,” he continued.

Schneider then replied to the comments from Boghossian by saying, “@peterboghossian Universities in America no longer promote learning or allow debate. It’s a closed system of thought run by thought police … Authoritarianism dressed us as tolerance.”

The Daily Wire is reporting:
Boghossian knows Schneider’s sentiments all too well — in 2021 he left his post as a professor of philosophy at Portland State University after a decade, saying that his school had “sacrificed ideas for ideology” and that the more he had tried to push back against the tide, the more he was personally attacked.
“I never once believed — nor do I now — that the purpose of instruction was to lead my students to a particular conclusion. Rather, I sought to create the conditions for rigorous thought; to help them gain the tools to hunt and furrow for their own conclusions,” Boghossian fumed in a brutal resignation letter.
“But brick by brick, the university has made this kind of intellectual exploration impossible. It has transformed a bastion of free inquiry into a Social Justice factory whose only inputs were race, gender, and victimhood and whose only outputs were grievance and division,” he added.
This latest disruption comes on the heels of several others — including one dangerous protest during which former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was forced to barricade herself in a locked classroom for her own physical safety.
Colleges and universities are not bastions of knowledge and freethinking as the left tries to advertise them, but are indoctrination centers designed to carry on the work of brainwashing future generations of Americans that starts in the public education system, in order to produce loyal subjects, rather than liberty-minded, self-governing individuals.
