University Administrators and real professors should take note: every brain needs a spine

The most recent reports say there is a crisis in child services in the United States. The cost of daycare spaces has reached absolutely astronomic levels. Placement at the University of Missouri, for example, easily breaks the $40,000 threshold. {SNIP}

If Jonathan Swift -- and I do not think there is a single protestor at Yale or Mizzou who knows anything about him, except that he is dead and was white) — were around today, he would curl up in a fetal ball at the impossibility of mocking a reality so pathetically stupid that it is mock-proof.

Yale campus was rocked by the mere anticipation of what some people might wear — might — at a Halloween party. Next an unwary female lecturer committed the crime of sending an email saying essentially … hey, if you do see a Halloween costume you don’t like, let it go. It’s just a campus party.

Space forbids a full dissection of this turmoil and madness. American higher education, on the Humanities side, and in particular in those dubiously academic innovational “disciplines” centring on Identity, Race, Gender, and the crapulous White Privilege categories, are blights of the mind. They are transmuting portions of university life (Science is saved by its commitment to reality) into slenderly disguised kindergartens for intolerant narcissists

You've heard it all before -- but, you haven't heard it said by Rex Murphy. Treat yourself.

It's my read that the real problem lies with daddy-less boys, brought up raised by mothers who couldn't keep their legs together. [One RAISES animals and crops; one REARS children.]
The US govenment REWARDS these females by paying them more money for more children.
Dads are supposed to teach their children to respect adult male authority...especially adult male WHITE authority if said sons are black.

It's so simple: stop the welfare by making these women work for a living. The older daughters/son and aunties can care for their children.
Once these females know that their future is work, work and more work, knees will suddenly snap shut and stay shut.

Why reward sloth? Stupid thinking.

Good read. Devastating. I did not know the entire breathtaking scope of the utter worthlessness of the Yale faculty until I had read the article.

There is good news here, though; the children of parents wealthy enough or connected enough to get them in there will no doubt either be absorbed into their father’s company, or into the employ of some well-meaning alumnus/alumna, where they will probably do enough damage, inadvertently or deliberately, to destroy their employer. The pieces will then picked up by hard-working alumni from other schools (probably immigrants) who actually studied. This is a form of the “creative destruction” of capitalism that you may have read about.
