I want to see the present academic system destroyed, and having university professors so demoralized they feel unable to do their jobs is a step in that direction.
These people hate you and will continue to hate you even if they "tell students to shut up and learn". Why root for their success?
Agreed, but I think K-12 teachers are more used to not being able to speak freely. Fortunately parents seeing photos of their kids wearing masks sitting in plastic bubbles set up in the classroom is doing the heavy lifting for us there.
That's basically what computers/the internet was supposed to do in the first place - obsolete the whole idea of going to school. I remember futurists predicting that kids would be learning from home, at their own pace, getting help from tutors when they needed it.
We need deans who have the guts to tell students to shut up and learn.

Never thought of it that way.
