Fuck Off Fascists should have been the only response.
Isn’t social justice just grand?
Translation: the Teacher’s Union is scared crapless that their jobs may be supplanted by online education.
MIT has great courseware online. Shh! Don’t tell the Bolsheviks at DoJ....
Feddgubb versus the American people.
Again
It is not good enough that millions of poor people might be able to improve themselves at little to no cost to themselves, no because not everyone can take advantage of this great gift as easily as others might it is better that no one be given this opportunity.
The obama administration specifically and the democrats in general hate the idea of the free exchange of ideas.
They’re prepping the nation for the coming age of “Knowledge is Ignorance.”
Remember a couple years ago the justice department was trying to recruit mentally defective lawyers for senior positions.
It seems like they found some.
Death of online courses?
Bush’s fault. (this time it is true)
"Rebecca Bond of the Departments Civil Rights Division sent a letter to UC-Berkeley fretting that the free courses were not sufficiently accessible to people with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act."
Patriots, please get into the habit of first checking every edict of the unconstitutionally big federal government against the few and specific powers that the states have delegated to the feds expressly via the Constitution, Section 8 of Article I the best place to start. And if no clause is found to reasonably justify an action then consider the following.
The Founding States had made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitutions silence about a specific issue, the politically correct equality rights of disabled Americans in this example, means that the issue is uniquely a 10th Amendment-protected state power issue, not the business of the corrupt feds.
In this example, low-information UC Berkeley officials are probably looking at the threat of the loss of federal funding if the school doesnt comply with so-called federal civil rights laws, such officials probably clueless that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes. This is evidernced by the excerpts below from the writings of respected constitutional experts.
The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added]. Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806.
(Note that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes.)
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
So UC Berkeley needs to wise up to the idea that any federal funding that the school might lose if it doesnt comply the the feds unconstitutional edict is arguably state revenues that the corrupt feds stole from their state by means of unconstitutonal federal taxes as the Supreme Court has clarified.
Next, and with all due respect to disabled Americans regarding so-called federal equality policing, similarly as with intrastate schooling, since the states have never amended the Constituton to expressly protect specific rights of disabled people, the Constitutions silence about disabled Americans means that the feds actually have no constitutional authority to be the self-appointed equality police on behalf of disabled Americans.
In other words, until the states should decide to amend the Constitution to expressly protect disabled people, its up to the states to make laws to protect such citizens.
And although the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress has the constitutional authority to stop the lawless Obama Administration from harrassing the sovereign states over politically correct equality issues but stubbornly refuses to do so, this action is just another example of the unconstitutonally big federal government trying to expand its powers in little, relatively unnoticeable steps which James Madison and Thomas Jefferson had warned patriots to be on their guard against.
I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution (1788-06-06)
To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition. Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson's Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791
The system of the General Government is to seize all doubtful ground. We must join in the scramble, or get nothing. Where first occupancy is to give right, he who lies still loses all. Thomas Jefferson to James Monroe, 1797.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trumps vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs as evidenced by this disabled Americans issue.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
