WOW, are you BRAVE!

I mean that wholeheartedly. Nowadays it takes some gonads to wander into the cesspool of depravity known as the “education” system.

Good luck to you and God bless.

I don’t know what subject you are going to try to teach, but if it has anything to do with social/political issues, please make just ONE book part of their reading list.

OUR ENEMY THE STATE, by Albert Jay Nock, copywrite 1935. Most of your students will fail to comprehend what is written, because Nock wrote it on a graduate political theory level. It will sail clean over the heads of 9/10ths of undergrad students. And this is mostly because their language and communications skills and critical thinking abilities have been deliberately stymied.

On the other hand, it clearly defines the battle line between the individual and the collectivist and as such, should be required reading in every Poly Sci/Sosh 101 class.

The book and the comprehension thereof will definitely allow you to separate your students into “promising” and “cannon fodder” in short order.

Again, good luck.

Nah, I've been teaching 26 years in college, five or so before that high school down to elementary. My dean is very supportive---doesn't agree with me much, but gave me a nice grant to film a piece for our developing TV series. Here is our trailer (http://vimeo.com/40949423) and what we filmed isn't in this---we shot the Wright B Flyer in action. But my university is quite decent and while liberal, respectful.

Heck, 20 colleges and universities use my book "A Patriot's History of the U.S." including Rice, U of Utah, UC Santa Cruz (!), U of Missouri, Suny, Washington-Tacoma, Montreat, and many others.
