Some missing items.

Rules for class.

1.a. Be on time. This class doesn't run on Clinton time.

Rules of the School.

5. a. i. Lying is not extra credit. It is considered core curriculum

I'm very impressed with the standards (attendance, lateness, assignments, and grading) the professor has set for the class. These standards are much higher than the ones I had in college.

The course material is crap, though. Where is "Year of the Rat" or "High crimes and Misdemeanors"? Even Howard Kurtz's "Spin Cycle" would have been nice.

In the reading list, do you see the following:

Christopher Hitchens - "No One Left to Lie To"

Ann Coulter - "High Crimes and Misdemeanors"

David Schippers - "Sell Out"

Ruddy & Limbacher - "Bitter Legacy"

R. Emmett Tyrrell - "Boy Clinton"

Dr. Paul Fick - "The Dysfunctional President"

Ambrose Evans Pritchard - "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton"

L.D. Brown - "Crossfire: Witness in the Clinton Investigation"

Gary Aldrich - "Unlimited Access"

Roger Morris - "Partners in Power"

Martin Gross - "The Great Whitewater Fiasco"

Doug from Upland - "The Official Clinton Bashing Limerick Book"

Doug from Upland - "Willy's White House Limerick Book"

Unless those books are read and discussed, it is a sanitized course that will not examine the real Clinton. Many, many people believe that a rapist occupied the White House. Will that be discussed? Will there be a discussion about how a so-called stalker and troubled young woman was given top secret clearance at the Pentagon? Will she discuss how Bernie Schwartz sold banned technology to the ChiComs and gave 900K to the DNC to avoid prosecution?

I think we should send her your list and suggest that she add it to her list of research material, so that her class won't be a whitewash of the Clinton years and that her students will know that the Clinton's were trash of the lowest kind.

I plan to prepare a list of questions to see if she is going to include the info in her class. At the top of the list is Juanita Broaddrick. The class is a total whitewash unless she is discussed.

...it is a sanitized course that will not examine the real Clinton.

Amen to that. The required reading list given by the prof is a joke. B.R. Barber will probably be presented as one of the 'objective' portions included for balance. Barber's writings are part of the ultra liberal philosophical mainstay used by communist, I mean liberal, educators. Skocpol's work is beyond apologetic, it is downright Clintonian in her final analysis where she "points out" that if it had not been for the "huge federal budget deficit created by Reagan's tax cuts" the Health Care Plan may have been politically feasable, blah blah blah. Wesley Clark is not only mentally unstable, but will be regarded by future historians (unfettered by the modern leftist press) as a war criminal, not an expert, in regards to Clinton's Balkan legacy. The other works aren't much better, and some are worse. The only exception being the "Mad as Hell" book, no doubt included just to show how he got in office the first time. This course looks like it was put together by Willy himself after snortin' a whole eightball of peruvian blueflake. Kiss some more young minds goodbye.

All students in this class should be required to view and discuss--as a class--the film "Yugoslavia--The Avoidable War", as an antidote to Wesley KLArk's self-serving book, and to the glorification of clintonite "humanitarian war".

Since some highly-placed people are now calling for "humanitarian war" and "humanitarian occupation and nation-building" in Iraq, this antidote is needed very badly. And there is still much clintonite damage in the Balkans that needs to be undone!!!!

not examine the real Clinton

I agree.

The course, however, is about Clinton presidency, not his person. It is true, of course, that Clinton's presidency was to a great extent about his self-centered person, but these are not the same.

To study art you do not need to know much about the artist himself. Here is the same distinction.

Surely, someone else could have come up with a different list, but I do not find the syllabus to be outrageous.

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I wonder how far the course reaches into the darkside of the Clinton administration.

As only the second president to face impeachment in our history, I would suspect that a discussion of the reasons for that impeachment is an important part of a course on his presidency.

Doesn't sound Clintonian. No reading materials on sexual practices or cigars.

Hi, A-G. I am certain it will scratch the surface. It will be about a sexual indiscretion and right wing whackos who were just out to get him and who wasted $1 billion investigating him. Let's see if we can wake up Professor Scranton. Hey, perhaps an Arkansas FReepers FReep of her opening class???

Cheating, plagiarism, duplicity and other violations of academic integrity: Cheating, helping others to cheat, or plagiarism will be punished.

I was going to insert some smart-ass comment here, but the irony level of this statement stands far above my poor power to add or detract.
