Looks like there are few professors left with some semblance of reason.

That’s as clear and succinct a lesson in reality as I’ve read in some time.

So, when does OU revoke his tenure?

“The enthusiasm of our youth for the candidacy of Bernie Sanders is a symptom of our failure to educate them, not only in history, government and economics, but also basic morality.”

Oh, they’ve been educated, or at least indoctrinated. So from that perspective, the plan worked. In fact, it worked so well, that now Bernie wants “education” to be “free”. That is, taxpayer largess for everyone in academia.

It worked like a charm, this indoctrination.

The real education for these kids begins when they are starving to death. Then they will be ready to learn something.

Education is and has been a failure for a long time. Ever since the establishment of the U.S. Department of Education. When ever the federal government becomes involved in anything you can bet that about 90% of the time failure will occur.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America.

Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president.

The comments at the site are full of the usual self-righteous outrages about ‘monopoly capitalism’ and how it’s destroying the planet and prevents young people and students from succeeding. The cry of the people seems to be ‘give us your bread and everything else you’ve got because life is just so hard.’

Capitalism is the unequal distribution of wealth.
Socialism is the equal distribution of misery.

A glimmer of hope in a tainted world!
It was 1 professor I had in college that really turned me on to liberty though too. The rest were soft moderate or leftist bums.

Was talking with a kid, who had on a “Bernie” shirt and proclaimed himself to be a socialist.

I just laughed and looked at him with that look of “That’s Special”.

Few minutes later he asked what was so funny.

“Oh, just looking into your future and hoping I know you in 10 years, so I can hear you again”...

That students favor Sanders is proof that the announced objective of the left - to take over education and schools in America - was a resounding success. The extremists wanted to make America embrace socialism. After two generations of diligent persistent work, they have achieved their goal of squashing initiative and self-reliance of too many Americans. They have been so successful that these sheep think folks who want to work hard for their own benefit are greedy and evil.

“OU professor: Youths’ attraction to Sanders shows education failure”

I’m sure the Marxists think it’s been quite a success.

Being a college professor used to mean little work, decent pay for it, getting laid a lot, a place to smoke weed and avoid getting DUI's, and enjoy legitimate isolation from the world.

Now being a college professor is about being a political activist with no sense of humor for hire to the highest and longest funding source for life.

We were better off getting them high and laid while they did little.

“Deming (ddeming@ou.edu) is a professor of arts and sciences”

That’s quite an eclectic combination.
