Anti-Americanism blamed on college teachers

Professors and administrators are to blame for anti-American sentiment on college campuses today, according to a report by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni.

More than 140 college campuses in 36 states have held anti-war rallies denouncing the country's military actions in Afghanistan, the report says.

It's never been different. Many college profs are rabid, fanatic, left wingers. Palestinian terrorist types in a figurative sense.

Most college professors live in a dream world on the public payroll. They have no idea what it is like to actually work for a living in the private sector. They are also selfish, egotistical and narrow minded. College professors believe that they have all the answers and won't tolerate any other point of view, but there is no such thing as a home school college degree.

Go to a buisness or engineering school less stupid leftist if you don't mind working harder and having less girls available of course.

But there is distance learning, and the companies promote outside of the university framework don't give a bleep about being PC.

[litany_of_lies]

Oops. Meant "companies promoting it."

"concludes that many professors and administrators are quick to clamp down on acts of patriotism, such as flying the American flag, and look down on students who question professors' "politically correct" ideas in class."

Let's make it simple for them.
No federal dollars, after all all the patriotic stuff on our money just might offend them.

Why the Modernists hated wars, and why you should, too
Course Number: English R1A LEC 4 Units
Semester and Year: spring 2002
Location and Time: 221 Wheeler Hall MWF 10-11
Instructor: Shingavi, Snehal
Course Control Number: 28403
Final Exam Number: TBA
Booklist: Mrs. Dalloway--Virginia Woolf; Homage to Catalonia--George Orwell; Soldier's Pay--William Faulkner; The Palm at the End of the Mind--Wallace Stevens; The Collected Poems of Wilred Owen--Wilfred Owen; People's History of the United States--Howard Zinn

Course Description: Much of Modern English literature was written in response to the outbreak of World War I. Hemingway's wounded chauvinist heroes and the desolate landscapes of Eliot's ''The Wasteland'' provide some of the more conservative responses to what some perceived as a failure of western civilization. But there were more progressive responses to the war, as well -- both in literary innovation and in the political outlook for a broader human understanding. In the context of growing military conflicts and international imperialist rivalries, we will examine how the literary works of some of the modernists can inform how we might understand the literary projects of a new generation. This class has an anti-war emphasis; most of the literature that we read and essays that will we examine will take as their starting point the claim that wars are not the solutions that they claim to be, that they in fact destroy the lives of the people who lose and those who win. In this class, we will discuss the nature of war, its impact on historical consciousness, and strategies for writing about literature. If ideological conflists will make it difficult for you to engage in the discussion, please select another course.

This is a course at Berkeley taught by Snehal Shingavi, the leader of the local International Socialist Organization, the Stop the War Coalition, and Students for Justice in Palestine (funny how he just *happens* to be involved in everything). It's really entertaining when you realize that he claims to be anti-war (with the CTSW) but is also involved in two groups that actively support armed warfare (ISO and SJP). I think he wins. Please note this quote: If ideological conflists will make it difficult for you to engage in the discussion, please select another course. Translation: If you don't agree, don't take my course.

[Misterioso]

Translation: If you don't agree, don't take my course.

Re-translation: If you are pro-war, don't take my course. Who the hell is for war? This crap proves that most university poli-sci curricula are just propaganda.

Here’s one reason.

Secrets, Lies, and Atomic Spies,.....Or... Joe McCarthy was more right than he ever knew

[bonesmccoy]

"left-wingers"????

HECK!

They're actually radically communist and socialists!

Even major private universities have tenured faculty that are ardently in favor of class-less marxist socialism.

YUCK!

[CyberAnt]

Excuse me - don't look now folks but this is already happening with kindergarteners - they aren't waiting til they get our kids in college.

This is why Home Schooling is growing in popularity.

It is also the reason why my children will be Home Schooled.
