On Scholarly Activism

[Cicero]

This is scholarship?

[buckalfa]

Is this a commentary about where conservatism has been railroaded by Alinsky and Cloward-Piven or one about what conservatism needs to do to regain equal footing?

[DoughtyOne]

Professorial malpractice anyone?

You are enrolled for reasons that are both clear and unclear, and you’ll discover more about your own objectives as we move through the semester. All I require of you is honesty and commitment. … If your commitment wavers, we will all feel it and I will ask you about it.

Do students realize that 1) they can ask teachers and professors for clarification about their class descriptions before regsitering; and 2) students don't HAVE to take classes that have sketchy or fluid requirements for grading?

My advice to all current and prospective college students...always ask yourself, "why am I taking this class, and how does it help me graduate with my intended field of study?"

And she’s the Brown Shirt drone Hilter so loved.

She’s so “brilliant” she can’t see the obvious...

Abolish government schools.

[Moltke]

The graduate seminar will “explore the biographies and narratives of a diverse array of scholar activists, examine the sociopolitical and economic forces shaping their work, and consider what they have achieved and why,” according to the syllabus.

Navel-gazing, tautological nonsense. Sociology as a "science" seems to have run its course. Just abolish it.

I think that it is vitally important that we take back our education system from those who stole it and use the federal dollars for their own political agenda.

We should instill a strong civics awareness in our kids, that sees them loyal to the nation in a reasoned manner.

I’m not talking capitulating indoctrination here. I’m merely suggesting a return to studying the nation’s contribution to the world in a positive manner.

Our warts can be studied in our universities, but they should be taken in context too, so that the nation isn’t in danger of being fallen in on by Leftist who wish to destroy it.

We should see our weaknesses to correct them, but that isn’t what is going on today.

They want to take down Capitalist Free Enterprise and replace it with socialism/communism even islamism.

It needs to stop.

If Walker has a plan to address this, I support it in general before I know the particulars. I might not be as positive, or I might be more positive once I know the particulars.

Why is it that when you hear something that you think is the dumbest or most asinine thing you have heard in a long while it is some how associated with this school? Is it run by communists, or just morons......

[Mr. K]

Yeah, because de-funding teachers unions is the same as killing 6 million Jews

[afraidfortherepublic]

And the taxpayers have to pay to have their kids’ minds polluted by this harpy?

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this wisconsin interest ping list.

Just so you know who this woman is:
From Wikipedia

Goldrick-Rab grew up in Fairfax, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C. She describes herself as an “East Coast Jewish woman” who was “taught to be outspoken and forthright.” Goldrick-Rab graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Ph.D. in sociology in 2004. She intended to pursue a career in applied research until she was encouraged to apply for a position in higher education policy and sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Goldrick-Rab accepted the position in 2004 with the intent to make Wisconsin colleges more accessible. She married Liam Goldrick, who also works in education policy, in 2005. They have two children, a son and a daughter.

I guess being “outspoken and forthright” means you get to “compare” your governor to Hitler!
