[JLS]

But so few dare do so because Educational Credentialing colleges have declared these people "certified teachers"

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.

JLS, in CA one must be certified to teach. Thank you for explaining how that is not the same here in NC. Pros and cons to both (certifying and not certifying).

WASC, (credentialling "college")on west coast, is a joke as far as I'm concerned. It's just a middle man operating in defense and support of Unions who only hire, promote, and tenure marxist liberals and force conservative teachers into paying union dues, anyway.

College professors "certify" ourselves by publishing in peer reviewed journals.

Isn't this just then another Microcosm of hiring liberals to publish liberals? I sometimes visit the Chronicles of Higher Education and read some of the debates (based on "published" journal items). It's taken a while but at least there's a moderator.

Let me put this another way: I recall back in the 70s when the Marxists seized control of English and Psychology Departments. They've been trying ever since to seize control over the Math and Sciences departments. They failed to do so, but fathomed to invent "global warming" as a next attempt to take over the Math and Sciences Departments.

These departments are all composed of hard left neomarxists of some kind and all they hire is hard left neomarxists.

While claiming they are discriminated against; and banging pots while cracking hysteric to drive their claims of oppression home even more.

In NC, what can be done within the college, U, private system to remove crazy teachers?
