Good for this young man--he's got more brains and composure than the silly professor who can't stop herself from interrupting.
This sort of indoctrination should be banned from campus.

Actually it might be good because kids like that one will learn how to think for themselves and stand up and argue with those in authority who shouldn't be in authority.

I am glad more of this is getting filmed so parents can see what is happening and what they are paying for with college tuition!
Law and Order (policing) comes from the history Southerners tracking down runaway slaves?

The problem with claiming that policing evolved from slave patrols
...policing in Southern slave states has some roots in slave patrols.
But policing doesn’t.
Policing—enforcing the law, preventing crime, apprehending criminals—has a very long tradition of existence. I don’t know where it started, but for our purposes we can note that Augustus Caesar, born in 27 B.C., created the cohortes urbanae near the end of his reign, to police Ancient Rome.

The Metropolitan Police Act created the first recognizable police force in the U.K. in 1829.
Meanwhile, in America the first constables were created in the 1630s in what came to be known as New England. Boston has the oldest “modern” police department. It was created in 1838. New York and Philadelphia soon followed....
