I wonder how long before home schooling is outlawed?

En zo, to graduate with a degree in Education at University of Minnesota you would first need to prove you were an obedient little Fascist Toady.

Alas, even after the blood purge of mid-December, many senior professors continue to embrace the concept.

Solution: Pull their charter. Fire everybody. Start again somewhere else.

You can’t write dystopian novels this good.

The first step toward 'cultural competence,' says the task group, is for future teachers to recognize – and confess – their own bigotry.

Sounds like a rephrasing of Chairman Mao's description of criticism/self-criticism as a "marxist-leninist weapon."

I know that the Orwellian references to 1984 are probably overused, but if this does not qualify for “Big Brother,” what does? We are living in times when those in education and politics are no longer content in punishing people for “wrong” actions, but we are now punishing people for “wrong” beliefs. Who is it that decides what are “wrong” beliefs or “wrong” views? We now have *officially* sanctioned “thought police.” At what point will the majority of Americans say, “enough is enough”? What does it take to wake up this nation?

Keep talking, Professor Meat...

My son is filling out applications for graduate school in astrophysics. At least two schools want him to write a one-to-three-page essay on how he will contribute to the "diversity" of their graduate program.

Although his undergraduate years have almost converted him to the liberal persuasion, he really can't stomach this PC stuff.

Today’s “brainstorming” . . . tomorrow’s tyranny.
