I am currently in the MBA program at the University of Washington, and had my “indoctrination” course over the summer. It certainly was not as bad as any of the above, but it was called “Global and Domestic Economic Conditions” which is fancy speak for Macro Economics.
In the first class we had a discussion about Kant, Hayek and Friedman, and then the teacher wanted to “prove” something so she wrote on the board a graph, at which point I asked ... doesn’t that graph only recognize Kantian Theory? At this point she admitted she was a Kantian, but promised to try to show all sides.
Each week we had a quiz (and we were allowed to discuss the quiz with other students before we submitted it). Each quiz had 20 questions, each with 4 options. We were told there was one and only one correct answer for each question. On the very first quiz, I noticed particular wording on a question where there was one answer that was clearly Kantian, and another that took the Monetarist view. I mentioned this to my friend and told him ... well this (monetarist) follows my beliefs, but since the instructor is a Kantian, I bet this is the answer. Sure enough, I was right.
By the 5th quiz I got into a long heated email exchange with the TA over a particular answer to a particular question where the only way to get it “right” is to assume that a congressional aide would have no idea whether a tax bill were intended to be temporary or permanent (my argument that any bill that is not time limited is by definition permanent, and any bill that is time limited is temporary and will remain temporary unless other legislation is passed to extend it or make it permanent did not sway them).
I passed the course, but it was the worst grade that I got in the program to date.
Communists and Marxists.
If weren’t for the college industry these people would be lucky to get a job shoveling horse manure off a truck in Kentucky.
You said it
"No, it won't be an open-book exam."
I think all these perfessers should be put on an island somewhere with few resources, buck naked, and left behind for a few years. Call it a sociology experiment.
Not me. Y'know, like, the Bible is like a really BIG book, like with lots of words and stuff, y'know, and it was like, y'know, a really big mess.
/s, of course
Yes, I managed to type that with a straight face...well, almost.
I think it would be fun to enroll in their classes for the express purpose of asking questions to rattle their cages (and maybe get some of the younger students thinking critically). If you aren't there for the degree, they have no power over you except to flunk you--and who cares!
Boy, that would frost their little cookies (and maybe awaken some of their students).
The liberal education establishment will not go away by itself. It is time to go on the offensive.
What a bunch of hate packed bitter souls.
I’m more sad than I am mad. If they yielded to the Lord, He could send their demons packing back to hell before you could say In God We Trust. Their problem can be solved if they are willing. Hell can’t be negotiated with, however. It has to be rebuffed, attacked, and crushed.
Regarding #6 above, we DO have an intifada; it’s called the Tea Party Movement. If the Left doesn’t recognize it as such, it must be because (1) the participants are civilized human beings, (2) it is better organized, and (3) the Left doesn’t control it.
Islam is a religion AND a political system. The political part is totally incompatible with freedom and dignity. Shahid Alam is nuts.
"No Communist, Fascist, or any other totalitarian committed to the destruction . . . of the principles and practices of democracy should be permitted to teach in a democracy. Freedom does not imply freedom to destroy freedom." -- Dr. Clarence R. Decker, President of the University of Kansas City, 1949
That’s your perspective, and mine FTM, on why they died.
They viewed it quite differently.
Too much work, I'd opt for a claymore mine outside his front door.
That these two are alive and well ( and professionally and financiall thriving) is an indication of one of two things;
1) Profound respect for rule of law by Americans.
2) We as a nation, as a people, are beyond saving and are ripe for a swift and serious fall.
This includes:
K-12 private and government institutional schools.
Colleges and university Undergraduate through graduate schools
Nursery school ( Yep! It starts that young. )
Vladamire Lenin: “.. Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted. “
( No,..... that does not mean that every teacher in this nation is a Marxist, but their training **does** effect the classroom and what is taught and how it is taught. )
Maybe we should ask Orwell.
So fall already since you are so full of FAIL.
For me, that would be step two. I would love to see the look on his and Bernardine's faces when they comes home to a trashed house (not done by me of course), complete with graffiti. Then, a few days later, when they moved to a new place, step two, but a weak one (not done by me of course) that wouldn't take them out too quickly.
I'm big on someone (not me of course) letting the guy know why he is expiring.
