Now if she had said anti-socialist I might agree.

These ‘professors’, along with activist judges, should be publically shamed for their idiotic ways.

They should pay a higher price than your garden variety lefty because they harm so many.

So then, can we say that people who major in sociology, women’s studies, black studies, or other liberal arts areas, are superior due to that? What are we really saying?

"a different kind of economics"?!?!?

I guess she means the economics practiced by Venezuela.

Dr. Wade, if you are a liberal, you are less likely to share your own money, less generous to the needy if it costs you anything, and more likely to cheat, lie, and steal and with a 99% probability that you are stupid.

So...if you want to get an `A’ in her course, show up in class with your copies of Das Kapital and Quotations from Chairman Mao.

Explain to her that “Your course is necessary to understanding capitalist exploitation of downtrodden proletariat, Comrade Professor”.

She has degrees in sociology and human sexuality.

I expect she'll be running for congress soon.

Students with an understanding of economics were less inclined to donate to these [liberal] groups than students with other majors.

Seems like that's a value judgement. I prefer people who think like this.

“the economy is not a car, there’s no engine to stall,

no Expert can fix it, there’s no IT at ALL..

the economy is US we don’t need a mechanic

put away the wrenches, the economy is organic”

snip

“The economy is not a class you can master in college

to think otherwise, is the pretense of knowledge”

Further, she says that Econ majors need to take ““balancing” classes, ones that present a different kind of economics.”

There are several schools of economic thought...I would assume an Econ class would cover the major ones at least all of the Classical economic theories...

I wonder what "a different kind of economics" would be...

Maybe Islamic economic theories, Marxian economics, feminist economics...?

No, sweetheart, that would be progressive polidiots.

Beware - this is the next line of liberal attack. When there are ads on my sports station I flip over to the only other non-music station which is NPR. They did a long piece on a study supposedly done which boiled down to if you drove an expensive car you were a bad person because you didn’t stop to help passersby or you tried to run down people in the crosswalk.

I really think that this rich = “bad person” line of attack is truly coming. Well, yeah, ok, it’s already here but I guess I mean intensifying.

If you understand economics you understand socialist ideals for the fraud that they are and you don't contribute to left-leaning 'charitable' causes.

Just one more member of the PhD (pile it higher and deeper) crowd. I have a BA in Economics and an MBA in Finance. So, I guess that makes me doubly bad. I will match my behavior against this idiot any day of the week.

If you dig down, you find that this is published on her own blog with a nice academic title. However, on the about page you get to this little gem:

“STANDARDS OF EVIDENCE: The point of this blog is not to prove that sociological insights actually describe the social world (i.e., “prove” that they are “true”), but to illustrate those sociological insights that are shown or posited to be true elsewhere in academia. This is by design.”

Someone else said this is true, so I'm going to publish it without questioning its validity. This is intentional.
