ENGLISH PROFESSOR Gives Students Extra Credit For Attending Rally Against Scott Walker’s Budget
The Daily Caller ^ | February 20, 2015 | Eric Owens

Posted on 02/20/2015 3:07:56 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

A literature professor at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater has offered students in her courses extra credit for attending a Thursday evening rally against budget cuts to the University of Wisconsin System proposed by Gov. Scott Walker.

The professor is Beth Lueck.

On Wednesday, Lueck notified students in her freshman English class about the exciting extra-credit assignment.

“UWW students have organized a non-partisan [sic] rally with students, faculty, and community members on the UW Whitewater campus against Gov. Walker’s proposed $300 million cut to the UW system, along with speaking out against attacks on shared governance and faculty,” Lueck wrote.

Protest organizers asked participants to meet outside the school library. From there, they would march over to Timmerman Auditorium to hear state Rep. Andy Jorgensen, a Democrat, and a local city council member speak against budget cuts.

If the media actually did their job and reported on all this crap the left does and if parents actually got engaged in their kids schools then we would not be having this crap right now

Psst: major employers are already discounting frivolous college degrees. The Genius Generation is now stuck with debt it can never repay for an "education" it can never employ.

Since someone is sure to come to this thread to mention illegal immigration, I’ll add this link [Caution.... READ it ALL] where, yet again, a “less-than-friendly” news outlet spills a lot of ink to twist the facts.

First the author has to admit to being called on a lie about Walker and the retraction he had to make. Then he goes forth to “prove” the headline of his attack piece.

Note at the end how the author feels it is necessary to tell you how to interpret Walker’s quoted words - remarkably, he just makes up what he wants to fit his scenario [and headline], when it just isn’t there [a big NOTHING BERGER like the one Professor Beth Lueck is feeding her class].

But there is the headline - which is what people absorb and what other liberal MSM news outlets blindly, dutifully — and if-they-know-what’s-good-for-them — reprint.

This woman needs to be fired from her job as an English professor if for no other reason than the fact that she does not know the meaning of the word nonpartisan.

All those worthless "Schools of Education" that give us uneducated teachers (but they know their liberalism and climate change schtik!).

All those worthless "Schools of Journalism" that give us lazy, uninformed, incurious state media clones (but they know their liberalism and climate change schtik!).

All those worthless "Schools of Government" that give us anti-American -- unschooled in history and world affairs -- State Department morons (but they know their globalization and climate change schtik!).

Attacking Walker is a definite sign the liberals FEAR him to no end. Walker is NOT their “rino candidate” so it’s “Attack, Attack, Attack”. Walker, if elected as POTUS, has the guts to neuter them in a heartbeat and they know it. Their methods have been shown time and again as we look back at others who they also feared (Palin, Cain, etc.). They are pretty easy to read.

These are union thugs, period.

Here's an example from the 5-month union siege on the WI State Capitol back in 2011:

Fox News: Wisconsin Teacher Reprimanded After Students Allowed to Protest Gov. Walker on Field Trip "A fourth-grade teacher in Wisconsin has been reprimanded after he allowed his students to participate in a political protest against Gov. Scott Walker on a field trip to the state Capitol building...."

Hi!

I knew you’d drop by with your spam.

LOOK over Post #4 for clarity.

Now it’s “spam” to post information and news on a candidate so that everyone knows where they stand on the issues? Sounds like a cult. Am I attacking your guru? Will the Walkerites follow in the footsteps of the Scientologists and start suing everyone who blasphemes? LOL

Yuck and so early in the morning.

Why is it that many left wing women are hideous and full of hate?

I guess Rush pegged it - “Number 24, one of the most controversial Undeniable Truths of Life: “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of American life.”

Yeah, attack me as “leftist” because I don’t bow down to your boy. Every candidate, Walker, Huckabee, Cruz, Palin or whoever, needs to be vetted before we end up with another McCain, Romney, Dole or Nixon again. Don’t like that? Too bad.

I’m not going to fight with you.

You came to this thread to drop links that are totally unrelated to the topic of the thread (and funny how I knew that someone would and why I made my Post #4 comment).

I called it what it is, spam.

Don’t you have some other thread to visit with your “information?”

I’ll “visit” any thread that I please, unless the site owner or his helpers tell me not to. Or did you recently buy this website?
