SWEET Ann Coulter takes another look at the Ward Churchill controversy:
Tenure was supposed to create an atmosphere of open debate and inquiry, but instead has created havens for talentless cowards who want to be insulated from life.
Rather than fostering a climate of open inquiry, college campuses have become fascist colonies of anti-American hate speech, hypersensitivity, speech codes, banned words and prohibited scientific inquiry.
Even [leftists] don't try to defend Churchill on grounds that he is Galileo pursuing an abstract search for the truth.
They simply invoke "free speech," like a deus ex machina to end all discussion.
Like the words "diverse" and "tolerance," "free speech" means nothing but: "Shut up, we win."
Teacher's unions "OUT"
No tenure.
Would be the best thing to raise the quality of education in the country IMO.
I have been instructed by a gifted teachers and professors who vigorously challenged me to engage in critical thinking. They were so careful about how they presented it I could not tell which side they personally favored.
I have also been instructed by ideologues, all of them liberals, who claimed to be teaching critical thinking skills but really were doing nothing more than attempting to indoctrinate me and the other students on the state's dime. They were transparent. They were overbearing and lopsided. They were frauds.
Bennish seems to me to be of the latter species: a liberal fraud and ideologue.
Jay Bennish is also a bully. His rants took up 80 percent of the class time.
The student has to transfer to another school because of the threats against the student. He will lose class credits.
Bennish is also a well know druggie who had long hair until he went to NYC to be interviewed by that perky little twit with Matt Lauer.
Add coward to the list.
REASON #92,456 TO HOMESCHOOL
They are trying to outlaw that in CA.
Hopefully the voucher programs will grow.
Hillary Clinton sent Chelsea to an exclusive private school.
So, what's her real beef with allowing ordinary parents, who aren't as rich as the Clintons, to get the same kind of education for their children?
Could it be that like many prominent Democrats, she's heavily reliant on the teachers' unions for money and manpower so she has to slavishly adhere to their positions on the issues even if the children suffer for it?
Bingo, that's exactly what her opposition to vouchers is really all about: protecting members of the teachers' unions from competition.
Unions are the only thing saving the Democrat party from extinction.
I agree that teachers should attempt not to favor one side over the other (although if the teacher had favored the opposite side I daresay most here would have applauded), and I agree that Bennish does seem to be a liberal ideologue.
Hopefully he's learned a lesson that will help him become a better teacher - if not, he'll be in trouble again soon enough.

Because you are. |
I agree that he most likely was told to "cool it." The face saver for him being no announcement of it.
That's a clue that he will try to cool the overt anti-Americanism.
