A newly-released video shows a professor at the University of California, Merced (UC-Merced) teaching his students that 90 percent of terrorist attacks in America are conducted by white men who are "religiously motivated and politically conservative."
The video, recorded in October, was released by The College Fix. It shows professor Ross Avila lecturing his "Introduction to Psychology" class on the topic of heuristics, mental shortcuts people use when trying to assess information or solve problems.
To illustrate his point, Avila said that most Americans assume Muslims are the country's largest terror threat because they haven't thought about the matter systematically.
"Ninety percent [of terrorist attacks in the U.S.] are from these white Caucasian men," Avila tells the class. "I am not saying white men are evil - but that is what we should be thinking about. Usually they are people who are religiously motivated and politically conservative."
Avila then describes a supposed right-wing terrorist action that he said was ignored by the media. He said that just a few months before (meaning in the summer of 2015) a white Christian walked into the Texas statehouse and fired off 60 rounds from an AK-47, which he said was also terrorism even if nobody was hurt in the process.
That supposed Texas shooting is entirely fictional.
Later on, in response to a student's question, Avila says the Sept. 11 attacks were "basically the only act of foreign-born terrorism that's ever happened in the United States." Much like with the invented Texas shooting, Avila's statement is totally untrue. Just in the past few years, terrorist actions committed by foreign-born individuals in the U.S. include the Boston Marathon bombing, the Chattanooga military recruitment office shooting, and the attempted car bombing of Time Square.
Ironically, just a few weeks after Avila's lecture, UC-Merced student Faisal Mohammad (an American-born Muslim) went on a stabbing spree at the school, apparently in an act of solidarity with Islamic State. That was followed in early December by the shooting in San Bernardino, where one of the two shooters was foreign-born and both appear to have been motivated by Islamic extremism.
When contacted by The College Fix, Avila defended himself vigorously, and linked to several news articles to bolster his argument that conservative white men are the country's main terrorist threat.
"A common heuristic about terrorists is that they are most often Muslim. I wanted to show the class that this was not the case," he says.
Avila admits he completely mangled his facts in describing the non-existent Texas attack. He said he was actually thinking of an incident in Georgia in 2014, when a man attempted to storm the courthouse of Forsyth County with an AR-15 before being gunned down by a patrolling sheriff's deputy. Avila says he first saw video of the incident in the summer of 2015, leading to his confusion.
9-11 attackers.
San Bernardino murderers.
Paris attackers.
Charlie Hebdo attackers.
"The Face of Terror" - Tim McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, self-identified agnostic, "science is my religion".
Perhaps the professor is not a math person, but McVeigh does not seem to represent 90% of terrorists. In fact, the percentage who are Christian seems, since the IRA disappeared, to be roughly zero.
Then this:
Nov 2015: Psychology Professor Urges Educators To Remain Passionate
What does your job entail?
"I teach students across fives different classes in psychology. The job entails lecturing, collaborating with students on assignments and research projects and evaluating student performance. I also assist students in their independent research projects."
What parts of your job do you enjoy the most?
"I love all aspects of my job. What's most enjoyable is interacting with students and helping them to reach their full potential. Our students are incredibly bright and a joy to work with. They motivate me to always give it my all in the classroom.
What was your education history like?
"I graduated with a Ph.D. in psychology from UC Davis. I specialized in research on intergroup relations and prejudice/stereotyping."..........................
Bump!
Well.. Step up.. Send Chelsea straight to Al Bagdadi and resolve some conflict in her headscarf. Nshowcthecworld,mMs Clinton that you deserve to be the queen.
From the comments, it seems there were only two students who had effectively ‘got his number’. The rest were mush minds more concerned about ‘getting the grade’ than getting material worth studying.
“...lecturing his “Introduction to Psychology...”
Well! There you go. A crazy professor teaching Psychology. He needs to record his questions, lay down on a couch, turn the recorder on and play his own questions to himself while recording his own answers...which will become the next set of questions asked.
Repeat, repeat, repeat until the proper responses are spewed from his mouth like the verbal vomit it really is.
Another commie lib, Caucasian hater. Nothing new.
Have Professor Loose Nuts say it louder. Frankly speaking I don’t do conservative outrage anymore, but there will be the day when people like him get that club upside their head.
90% of college professors are liberals.
From February 2010...

Unabomber essay urges attacks on 'techno-industrial system'
July 27, 2002 | By Dan Eggen, Dominic Gates, Washington Post
In an article published this spring by Green Anarchy, a radical environmental newsletter, [unabomber Ted] Kaczynski calls on revolutionaries to "eliminate the entire techno-industrial system" by "hitting where it hurts" and disparages the activities of most radicals as "pointless." ..."
"The fall 2001 issue of Green Anarchy published a letter from Kaczynski complaining that Subcomandante Marcos, leader of the Zapatista rebels in Chiapas, Mexico, was insufficiently pure as a revolutionary because he advocates bringing water and electricity to peasants...."

From anarchist-org.forum:
"The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (El Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional) is an anarcho communist army that is based in Mexico, mainly the poorest state in Mexico, Chiapas. In 1994, January 1st, they started their revolution and it has been increasingly successful throughout the years. Today, they are attempting non-violent struggles because the people told them too - they are truly an army of the people. However, both the people and their army are realizing how unsuccessful that tactic is.
Their ideology, Zapatismo, is a mixture of indigenous teachings, autonomism, anarchism and communism. Although other revolutions are going on in the world (like the Southern African anarcho communist movement), the Zapatista revolution was deemed the first modern revolution of our time and it's bringing hope to people not only in Mexico, but around the world."

From the Wall Street Journal
NOVEMBER 24, 2007
[Lee Harvey] Oswald was a dedicated communist who had defected to the Soviet Union in 1959 out of disgust with American capitalism. After becoming disillusioned with Soviet life, he returned to the U.S. in 1962. In early 1963, he bought a scoped rifle through the mail and soon used it to fire a shot (which missed) at retired general Edwin Walker, the head of the John Birch Society in Dallas. In the summer of 1963, Oswald was active in street demonstrations in support of Castro. In September 1963, he visited the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City seeking a travel visa that would allow him to travel to Cuba.
Oswald was among the radicals of the time who saw Third World revolutionaries like Castro as the wave of the communist future. He was well aware of Kennedy's efforts to overthrow Castro's regime. As a Senate investigative committee suggested in 1975, Oswald shot Kennedy to interrupt his administration's plans to assassinate Castro or to overthrow his regime in Cuba.
Ignoring Oswald's communist links, journalists and political leaders quickly claimed the president was a martyr to civil rights. Earl Warren said that Kennedy had "suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots." Martin Luther King said the assassination had to be viewed against the backdrop of violence against civil rights marchers in the South. James Reston wrote in the New York Times that "something in the nation itself, some strain of madness and violence, had destroyed the highest symbol of law and order."
The consensus opinion was that Kennedy was a victim of hate and bigotry, a casualty of his support for civil rights. The Cold War and Kennedy's ongoing feud with Castro were rarely mentioned as factors behind the assassination. The reasons? Mrs. Kennedy wanted her husband remembered as a modern-day Abraham Lincoln. Lyndon Johnson feared complicating relations with the Soviet Union. Liberals feared a replay of the McCarthy period, when the Wisconsin senator inflamed public opinion about fears of domestic communism.

"In 1951, [Reverend Jim] Jones (Jonestown) began attending communist meetings and rallies in Indianapolis.[4] Jones became flustered at harassment he received during the McCarthy Hearings,[4] particularly, regarding meetings between Jones and his mother with Paul Robeson.[5] This, among other things, provoked a seminal moment for Jones where he asked himself "how can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church."[5][4]"
"In the summer of 1977, Jones and most of the 900 members of the People's Temple moved to Guyana from San Francisco after media pressure built.[25] Jones left the same night that an editor at New West magazine read Jones an article by Marshall Kilduff to be published detailing allegations by former Temple members.[25][16] Jones named the settlement Jonestown after himself.
Jones purported to establish Jonestown as a benevolent model communist community stating, 'I believe we’re the purest communists there are.' [26] Jones' wife, Marceline, described Jonestown as "dedicated to live for socialism, total economic and racial and social equality. We are here living communally."[26] Jones wanted to construct a model community to show others and stated that Prime Minister of Guyana Forbes Burnham 'couldn’t rave enough about us, uh, the wonderful things we do, the project, the model of socialism.'[27] In that regard, like the restrictive emigration policies of the then Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea and other communist republics, Jones did not permit members to leave Jonestown.[28]
Jones and several members argued that the group should commit "revolutionary suicide" by drinking cyanide-laced grape flavored Flavor Aid (often misidentified as Kool-Aid) along with a sedative.[39]
One member, Christine Miller, dissents toward the beginning of the tape.[39] When members apparently cried, Jones counseled "Stop this hysterics. This is not the way for people who are Socialists or Communists to die. No way for us to die. We must die with some dignity."[39] Jones can be heard saying, "Don't be afraid to die" and, regarding death as "just stepping over into another plane" and that "[death is] a friend."[39] At the end of the tape, Jones concludes: "We didn't commit suicide, we committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world."[39] Children were given the drink first and families were told to lie down together. The mass suicide had been discussed in simulated events called "White Nights" on a regular basis, while members drank liquid Jones first told them was poison during at least one of those White Nights.

From Investor's Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:
"[Bill] Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.
One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called 'Improving Learning Environments' says prospective K-12 teachers need to 'be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.
The Annenberg papers are quite extensive - 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama's relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.'..."

Can’t fix stupid - helps explain why so many college students graduate dumber than when they went it...
Guess the creep was asleep when the car bombs went off in the WTC parking garage the first time the Moslems tried to bring them down.
I agree with your statement, but at what point to the young adults fail to see reality?
I guess this is where we get so many of these dysfunctional snowflakes. While we want to place the blame on college campuses, the reality is these kids are arriving there already mentally primed for further indoctrination.
This all points back to the teacher’s unions. The downfall of the next generation and the nation may very well rest on their shoulders.
This particular professor should be removed from teaching/lecturing as he fails to present factual evidence and is clearly indoctrinating/manipulating these young adults. Sadly, these “kids” were never challenged to fact check the professor.
What is gender-based harassment? When you tell a man to be a man?
It’s the progressives new meme, radical islamists are now conservative muslems. And Arabs are now white.
Just in time for the election.
And the other 98% are radical Islamic terrorists. Common Core math strikes again.
They only do these things because they are the recipients of hate at work with things like being the target of ‘baby showers’. Who wants babies to rain down on them, really???
It was the Amish, you can tell by the beards!
