This despicable video needs to be seen by as many people as possible.
The basic gist of it is...
"Dean Smith, I'm having a problem with one of my students.
See... he's a war criminal, oh I mean veteran & he is not unquestionably swallowing our leftist propaganda hook, line & sinker. He's very confrontational & disruptive... he challenges my assertions in front of the other students, asks that I provide objective data to back up my claims, and he actually has the nerve to espouse ideas that run contrary to our ideology.
I'm at my wits end & don't know what to do Dean Smith. Has Obama (all praise be unto him) announced when the reeducations camps will be opened, because my list of candidates is just getting longer with each passing semester?"
Bump for later. Must see this (stupid firewalls!).
I find this hard to believe. My husband teaches in a small PA college. The faculty is very liberal and do not approve of the war. But they respect war vets and thank them for their service. At least the ones in my husband’s dept. In fact, one of the most liberal profs came into my husband’s office with a returning war vet in tow several years ago and told him in front of her to treat her well because she deserved it. I don’t understand why so many hate-filled people teach.
I wouldn’t agree with putting them down. Too many of their ilk feel the same of conservatives, but, as the saying goes, “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”
I’m a ‘65 Penn State grad. In the four years I was there the school was an apolitical academic institution. Of course the country was right in the middle of Viet Nam and by the 1970s the slogan “Better Red than Dead” played well on most college campuses. Penn State was no different.
I was an ROTC student and married my wife (also Penn State) at Eisenhower Chapel. By August of ‘65 I was on Active Duty. Subsequently spent two years in Germany and 2 years in Thailand. No matter where we were overseas it was always easy to pick out Penn Staters. They were always clean, clean shaven and had easy smiles. In short they were well adjusted and well educated.
Fast forward to mid 70’s. Visits to Penn State demonstrated students took pride in their pseudo working class clothes (holes in jeans’ knees and butts and already faded by the manufacturer) and their general lack of civility.
I was a journalism major. Visited College of Journalism in 1976—I think it was anyway. Spoke with the then dean of the school. I forget his name. He asked what I did after graduation. I told him I spent almost five years in the Army. In his British accented voice he said “F*** You” and turned his back on me.
I’ve not given any money to the school in years. Although I feel really bad about it, I won’t even give money to the fencing team anymore. I was a Penn State fencer.
Yep, the school is nothing more than a socialist education center. Perhaps on the engineering side it is not so apparent. I would expect that the school’s science departments have been politicized to the maximum extent.
You needed to post a link to the REST of this training film, where other “instructors” continue the discussion of how to deal with “problem veterans”.

Disgusting.
I'm sure they do, particularly since the SAT now has a writing component.
That said, if you want to penalize a student for his political leanings, the covert method is to be extra-picky on things that you can legitimately down-grade him for. Meanwhile, I doubt that a Penn professor would be picky about the grammar of an affirmative-action student, as such would be bad for her career.
Unless they play football or basketball well.
Also, keep in mind that Penn State has satellite campuses all over PA that function much like community colleges.
They are beyond any capacity for rational thinking and any measure taken to reduce their damage as a fifth column in this nation will only feed into their pathology.
Eventually, we are going to have hit the reset button in this nation or these people will continue driving us toward their ultimate goal; turning the USA into just another dirt poor province of a UN led socialist eutopia. I do not want my grandchildren to grow up in the same system that Cuba and North Korea currently suffer under, but the people that produce vidoes such as this have our adoption of those systems as their shining prize at the end of the road.
What is your solution for the fifth column?
“Let’s see. Gangstas DON’T go to Penn State. End of scenario.”
You sure gave that straw man a good thrashing.
Now how would you know if Black gang members attend Penn State or not? Do they have some type of policy in place?
I think you just didn’t like the truth behind his comment, but couldn’t think of a logical way to dispute it.
I was always annoyed with professors who took attendance. I always thought the better option was to give pop quizzes regularly.
The worst, most threatening students I've ever dealt with (including the one who assaulted me when I failed him for plagiarism, and then protested being tossed out of school altogether) were flaming libs with overdeveloped senses of entitlement.
They're usually the stupid ones who can't debate to save their lives, as well.
a must see.
I saw the confrontational attitude, and am repelled by it. But I'm even more repelled by the idea that it's veterans who are being stereotyped as having this problem, and not rich kids or affirmative action students.
But at the end of the video... the student brings up the allegation of unfair treatment because of difference(s) between his view (on the war) and hers.
THAT’s the telling insight in this video.
He's a veteran. His views are different from hers. He claims prejudice and mistreatment.
That's the conflict that conservative students all around the country face. Sometimes they regurgitate what they know the prof wants to see. Sometimes they stand up for their beliefs.
From the University's perspective, they have to train their faculty to deal with the later case.
One additional thing I find interensting is the dean's reaction (and appropriate response, btw) to the possibility of violence from the student. Then at the end the student's only threat is to "get (the teacher) fired."
“interensting” = “interesting”
They treat vets like this but love people like William Ayers ....
I have 4 kids now and 1 is in college, 3 to go, but NONE will be going to a school like this I assure you!
My uncle was in one of those in the late 60's. The club was "stormed" by hippy protestors. They came in through the door and left through the windows. A good time was had by all!
“this would be considered hate speech”
there’s no such thing as “hate speech” in America. Yet.
Education. Voting. Only solutions I have...but I haven't had my coffee yet either.
complete separation.
the differences are irreconcilable,
and they intend to force their worldview on us and our kids.
