Years ago, Enterprise, we would have known and said upfront that these faculty/pot banger people were "head cases": imagining bats in their cellers; hearing voices in their heads telling them to do "things". But so few dare do so because Educational Credentialing colleges have declared these people "certified teachers" and with no mention or concern as to their mental soundness.

Psst: these people think they are working for a living. Certainly they comprehend they put in orts for a paycheck.

Actually probably few if any of the Gang of 88 have any certification. In academics you go get a terminal degree, ie Ph.D, Ed.D., DBA, etc and you do not get an education degree unless you are in the college of education. [Does Duke even have a college of education?]

College professors "certify" ourselves by publishing in peer reviewed journals. There is no state sanctioned certification. The issue at Duke is they have allowed intellectual bias and intellectual segregation in some departments. These departments are all composed of hard left neomarxists of some kind and all they hire is hard left neomarxists.
