‘Revamp Education to Stop the Cultural Rot’

There are still some people in the education system who know it is an “abject failure.” Professor Nicholas Giordano is one of them.

There are still some sane men and women who have not yet been chased out of the education business. They understand: “education” in America is more than just a failure; it’s a threat to our country’s future.

The schools’ “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Social Justice” agenda must be uprooted and abandoned, Dr. Giordano says, and the people who imposed it on the taxpayers must be fired, their programs defunded. How you do that when they all have tenure, I don’t know. School choice has to be a big part of any reform, Dr. Giordano says. I’d go farther: we need more homeschooling.

Meanwhile, our colleges and universities are eye-ball deep in terrorist-loving, Christian-hating, Jew-hating, America-hating, ignorant, radicalized, unemployable puppets, fit only to riot whenever Far Left Crazy tells them to.

We need educated citizens; not Useful Idiots who are never more than a wink away from being useless.

Victor Davis Hanson: Stop the Money

I’m posting here a column by Victor Davis Hanson (https://amgreatness.com/2023/10/23/the-sickness-of-our-universities-and-the-cure/)–“The Sickness of Our Universities–and the Cure”–because he’s now saying something that we’ve been saying here for months, if not years:

Our universities are a disgrace, a mess–and the only way to cure the disease is to stop pouring money into it.

That’s what it boils down to. *Curtail government handouts.*Tax university endowments, currently (and wrongly!) tax-exempt. *Stop federal funds. *Require students to pass the equivalent of an SAT test to graduate. *Get government out of the $1.8 trillion student loan business. *And finally, to donors: “Just say no.”

College costs a fortune nowadays, and what are we getting for our money? Not much! What we are getting is a lot of toxic foolishness that does real harm to the American people and our constitutional republic.

It’s got to stop.

‘A Tossed Salad of Blather’ (2018)

Not exactly an inviting prospect, is it?

So… let’s set up a “parenting group” based on “intersectional trans-inclusive feminism” to “reject the binary” and oppose “the kyriarchy,” blah-blah-blah.

A Tossed Salad of Blather

God help us, have you ever tried to talk to any of these people? It can’t be done! Bad enough if you were to accidentally marry one. Imagine being her child.

I am convinced by now: “Transgender” is the worst thing that the human race has ever done. It has boiled up from Hell.

Defund the universities.

Go Get ‘Em, Gov!

LIVE: Governor Ron DeSantis Swearing-in Ceremony - 1/3/2023 - YouTube

Ready to rock ‘n’ roll!

We do need more of this. So much more!

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has demanded full financial reports from the state’s universities and colleges to find out exactly how much money they’ve spent on “diversity, equity, and inclusion and Critical Race Theory,” (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/01/05/florida-demanding-every-state-university-system-provide-report-expenditures-related-diversity/).

“We reject this Woke ideology,” he said, adding that Florida will be “the place where Woke goes to die.” He has ordered the state’s Dept. of Education to provide all the figures.

Gee! Ya mean it ain’t fair to suck money out of the public, money that they worked for, and use it to fund a bunch of academic pinheads who despise them and want to tear down their way of life?

The people of Florida, the governor said, have a right to “freedom from having oppressive ideologies” forced “upon you without your consent.”

(Why can’t my state have a governor like that!)

Gov. DeSantis understands that there’s no room on this continent for both America and Woke. Let’s back him up.

Far Left Idiots Rally to Crazed Rutgers Prof

Gray Treefrog Fact Sheet - Signs of the Seasons: A New England Phenology Program - University of Maine Cooperative Extension

No, I’m not going to post a picture of this jerk. I’m not even going to mention her name. Here are some nice tree frogs instead.

I’m getting tired of covering the nooze. It’s so dreary! But I keep thinking we do have to know what we’re up against.

Here are some recent comments by a tenured professor at Rutgers University. Wait’ll the next time they phone me and ask for money.

“White people are committed to being villains.”

“White people showed up being raggedy (?) and violent and trying to take everything from everybody.”

“Black and brown people happily co-existed and sailed around the world (?) until whites came along and destroyed the world with violence.”

Chatter like this cheesed a lot of people off–state university, New Jersey taxpayers’ money, and this is what they get?–so naturally various “faculty groups” have rallied to support this spewing moron: AAF, AFT, and other groups even sillier. Any criticism of her, they say, is only “racism.” (Yeah, she’s black.)

I say this as a Rutgers alumnus: Defund Rutgers University. If this is how it wants to spend its time and our money, we ought to remove our money from the equation.

How much of this are we expected to put up with? Why should we have to put up with it at all? If you’ve got an answer to those questions, I’d just love to hear it! Or maybe I wouldn’t: it’s probably a profoundly stupid answer.

If you’re sending your kids to Rutgers, this is what they’re being “taught.” And if you’re okay with that, there’s something wrong with you.

[Editor’s note: I have not provided a link to the news story because I don’t want this evil idiot’s name or picture to appear on my blog.]

No, You Can’t Have Any of My Money

Divide and Rule

Have a swig of Critical Race Theory while you’re here!

What do you get when you donate money to your ol’ alma mater? Well, let me tell you what I’d get, if I ever shelled out to Rutgers University.

An associate professor of women’s, gender, and “Africana” studies at Rutgers, making a six-figure salary (yeesh! what do they pay a full professor?), recently launched into a frothing-at-the-mouth rant against white people: “We gotta take these M[censored]s out!” she declared. ‘Cause white people “are committed to being villains” (https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=18318).

A Word of Caution: The Democrat Party wants whites and blacks to hate and fear each other. That way they get to divide and rule. It also pleasures their corrupted souls. We must resist the extremely powerful temptation to answer this very highly-paid associate professor in kind.

But we don’t ever again have to contribute one red cent to any college. Certainly not to Rutgers. (They used to phone me pretty often, begging for bucks, but they haven’t done it in a while. Maybe some of my answers discouraged them.) Nor do we have to send our children there to have their minds warped by rabid racial hate artists like this associate professor with her six-figure salary.

Remember! The Democrat Party does not want us living in peace and harmony and good will with one another. They do everything in their power to subvert it.

No more money for the universities. It’s time for them to go.

‘Crawl On Your Belly When They Kick You in the Face’ (2018)

A few years ago the Ontario Human Rights Commission toyed with the idea of assigning itself the authority to decide whom your friends should be… ’cause you can’t let ordinary racist dumb people decide that for themselves, they’ll just get it wrong.

Here in America, our looniversities are every bit as evilly wacko as the OHRC. Like f’rinstance:

Crawl on Your Belly When They Kick You in the Face

This clown’s crime, for which the Loving Left punished him, was knowing and liking someone who wound up running for governor as a Republican. Boo! White privilege! Boo! Racist-Biggit-Hater!

I admit it. I hate these cheap little tin-horn Stalinists. We should shut down 90% of the colleges–before it’s too late. Before they do irreparable harm to our republic.

We do not (!) have to slink around with “Kick Me” signs on our backs.

A Cure? Hell, No, We Don’t Want a Cure!

Tish-tosh! 203 over 114 is not high blood pressure! It’s just different–and something not to be cured, but celebrated!

If you had a disability that could be corrected, or at least made less onerous, would you rather have the cure–or a bunch of academic pinheads “celebrating” you as “differently abled”? Sheesh, it’s not even proper English.

I have received an email describing this nonsense; and my sister, a healthcare professional, says it’s a “movement” that’s been gathering speed over the past few years. I am not going to name the school mentioned in the email, nor use any of the real names cited. Idiots are idiots no matter what you call ’em.

So they’re having a conference at Fimbo State to consider whether they should just forget about “curing” anything and instead trying to convince the disabled person to “flourish” in his mere “difference.”

Wow! I guess I can just throw my blood pressure pills out the window now and “celebrate” the fact that my blood pressure is just plain “different” and isn’t that just hunky dory? Sure takes the heat off the medical profession, don’t it?

The university is truly awe-inspiring as a fountainhead of genuinely bad ideas.

We could do nothing better than to cut off the funding. Now. Today.

‘Now It’s Sandwiches Causing Global Warming’ (2018)

Hooray for the University of Manchester! They found a whole new thing to fret about

Sandwiches.

Now It’s Sandwiches Causing Global Warming

The misanthropes in charge of pillaging the public and wasting our money would like to take away our sandwiches, too. Well, we know they want us peasants to live on bugs and weeds.

Let’s see what they live on, if our leaders ever do their duty by us and defund the universites.

Defund the colleges, not the police.

Prof Wants ‘Moral Enhancers’ in Your Drinking Water

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

What's in Your Drinking Water? | NRDC

Seek and ye shall find. Seeking something to write about for Newswithviews this week, I found this.

A professor of “ethics” at Western Michigan University has called for “moral enhancements” to increase Americans’ “ability to be empathetic or altruistic or cooperative” (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15488). This is supposed to end the COVID-19 pandemic. And, he added, it can also be used to make people believe in Climate Change.

How quickly can we defund our looniversities? How much time do we have before they bury us in wickedness and stupidity?

We are not told what these “morality enhancements” would be–only that the government could and should add them to our water supply. What kind of “ethics” does this jidrool teach? I mean, he’s talking about some kind of pill to make everybody do whatever it is he wants us to do. He’s not shy about using the word “coercion.”

People pay him to teach this horse-schiff to their children.

God help us.
