Following a festive finish to 2017 that included Christmas caroling and an adorable family photo, Barack Obama was feeling sentimental and shared his favorite books and songs from 2017.
In a December 31, 2017 post on Facebook, the former president revived a tradition he started while in the White House, and shared his reading list and playlist from 2017. He explained that, "it was a nice way to reflect on the works that resonated with me and lift up authors and artists from around the world." He joked that since he has some "extra time on his hands" this year he decided to bring the lists back.
There's no shortage of great works to discover on this year's list with Obama beginning with some of his favorite reads including, "The Power" by Naomi Alderman, "Janesville: An American Story" by Amy Goldstein, "Dying: A Memoir" by Cory Taylor, and two bonus books for "hoops fans," "Coach Wooden and Me" by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and "Basketball (and Other Things)" by Shea Serrano.
This sounds like it was written by a 9th-grader for a current events assignment. It has all the depth of a parking lot mud puddle, and the insight one would expect from a bored teenager more interested in mascara than political philosophy.

I recall an article about the tiny minority of conservative professors given tenure. One outspoken board member in the article said: Instead of examining if they shouldn’t have been given tenure, examine how the system failed. Right wingers should have been weeded out and if necessary sabotaged before they reached the tenure vote. That’s how it is supposed to work.
Washington DC and the WASHINGTONIANS are the enemy.
They are fooling less and less people every day.

This time round, the kids wont be brainwashed unless they want to be. The net has plenty of alternative, reality-based, views of communism
Put these snow flakes on a collective farm, sleep in un-air conditioned barracks, eat in a mess hall, perform KP and laterite duty, etc, and give them a taste of real communism. Hmm, this kinda reminds me of boot camp come to think of it, lol!
The trend I see is, when an assistant prof starts to prepare their tenure documents, the university gives them notice that their contract will not be renewed. That serves several points: First, they are replaced with junior people who cost less, Second, they do not get locked in to an individual, and Third, they hire younger people who are generally more liberal. This is especially true in easy-to-find Ph.D.’s, like liberal arts majors. Business and Computer Science faculty are a little harder to find.
So youve posted this crap twice
Its useless
” When I teach Marxism I skip over the 100 Million dead in mass graves across the globe”
Teen Vogue should organize group tours of teens to tour thoroughout Venezuela to show how superior a socialist dictatorship is compared to capitalist America ...
“communism, which advocates for workers control over their labor (instead of their bosses”
That’s not communism. Communism is when the government is the sole employer. The employees do not have control over their work.
I expect nothing more from this rag of a mag.
Kidees, communism is what brought you venezuela and cuba. If you want more of that, then go there.
I like to refer to ol Karl as Skid Marx.
It looks like Teen Vogue likes communism.
The man whose ‘philosophy’ turned the Bread Basket of Europe into a famine ridden failure ...
The New Czars didnt even have the common sense of the Old ones using this mans ideas (ans murdering in his name in a way that made Hitler look like an amateur)
Amen! I taught project management courses at an extremely liberal Big Ten University for 6 years until I was booted for the crime of being a conservative. The only professors that would talk to me were Mormons, and that was only in Secret.
Scholar?
If Marx was a “scholar” I guess Hitler was a “statesman”.
The “painted word”.
The staple of left wing propaganda.
Remember
Obama was a “professor” of “constitutional law”
Michelle Obama is “beautiful” and “stylish”
Trump is “crazy”
Trump “breaks the law”
Mueller, Rosenstein, Comey, Eric Holder “enforce the law”
Illegal aliens are “good”
Anyone who objects to the overrunning of the US by illegal aliens is a “racist,” a “hater” and “against the children”
Muslims are “oppressed” They are all “children” Especially the 26 year old muslim mass murderers.
The “motive” of any muslim mass murderer who yells “alahu akbar” as he kills is a great unsolvable mystery.
Obama is a “Christian”
Ask George Stephanopoulos
Homosexuality, transgenderism are the mosty important thing in the world.
Israel is the boogie man of the world.
Israel owns most of the land in the world.
Obama, Hillary, the US State Department tried to be kind to Israel, but Israel didn’t appreciate it.
The ‘palestinians’ are the most oppressed people in the world. Everyone should spend at least an hour a day crying for the ‘palestinians.’ The palestinians represent “peace.”
Saints Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown were lovely 12 year old children who were murdered by racist whites.
Colon Kapernick is the greatest football player of all time.
George Soros. WHO???? WHO???? Are you a “racist”?
Marijuana is good for your “health”
Anyone who points out what Obama, Eric Holder, Van Jones, la Raza, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, New Black Panthers did and does is a “racist.”
Obama was the greatest president of all time.
Anyone who says different is a ‘racist’ and member of the Klu Klux Klan.
The CIA was always the boogey man but now with Brennan and Clapper spitting at Trump, the CIA is the greatest of all time.
The FBI was always the boogie man, but now that Comey, McCabe, and other heroes are pointing out the evilness of Trump, the FBI is the greatest of all time.
The Iran deal kept Iran from building the bomb, but now Trump wants to ruin that.
TEEN VOGUE will fill you in on the rest of what you are supposed to think.
