‘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.

‘The University: Where Young Minds Go to Die’ (2015)

Do I hear a micro-aggression?

When I was in freshman orientation for college in 1971, the theme was “dissent”–for its own sake, as an end in itself, as the highest social good, as a moral imperative, blah-blah (I’ll have to write more about this later).

Now there’s no dissent allowed.

The University: Where Young Minds Go to Die

I should point out that by “dissent” they meant agreeing with left-wing professors.

Someday posterity (if there is any posterity will remember us as the society that “educated” itself to death.

Keep Your Mouth Shut, But Should You Tape It?

(Thanks to “WannaBe” for the nooze tip)

If you’re going to Brandeis Looniversity, better bring a thick notebook so you can jot down all the words they don’t want you to say. The looniversity has launched yet another stupid campaign to weed out “oppressive words” (https://www.yahoo.com/news/university-warns-against-using-oppressive-171700004.html).

Among the words they want to ban is “picnic.” You can’t say “picnic.” Why? Because, say College Officials [noun: Pack of dunderheads], “picnic” is synonymous with… lynching. Betcha didn’t know your annual Sunday school picnic was a lynching.

Back in 2015 this same looniversity had another campaign to abolish “microaggressions” against Asian students. This had to stop when the Asian students complained that the anti-microaggression campaign was in itself a kind of microaggression.

You also can’t say “you guys,” or “walk-in,” or “the” because it’s all Racist and oppressiveandjusthorribleIcan’tstandit–Aaaaaargh!

You’re actually paying to go to this laughable excuse for a college and be “taught” crapola like this? Please explain why you do that.

Holy Cow–They Really Believe That?

The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future(Or, Don 't Trust Anyone Under 30): Bauerlein, Mark: 9781585427123: Amazon.com: Books

[Huff-puff! Newswithviews is done! One more blog post, type up a chapter of my new book… and I can crash.]

When I was in college, if I heard this once, I heard it ten thousand times–“Your generation is the best, the smartest, the most with-it generation ever! You are the hope of America!” Etc., etc.

I put this down to manipulation. This was how left-wing professors recruited useful idiots. You could cut the cynicism with a knife.

Professors are still stroking their students with this pap, but there’s a big difference between then and now.

Now they really believe it!

In his book, The Dumbest Generation, Mark Bauerlein cites a multitude of studies that find that professors have actually convinced themselves that their students are inherently wise. Although if that really were the case, why are the students sitting at their desks listening to the prof, when they should be up at the lectern and the profs at the desks, being taught by the students?

And some of them would think that was a good idea.

The fruits of the most costly education system in history are not only rotten, but also poisonous. It’s killing our country by inches.

I’m sure manipulation is still part of the picture, but it’s gone beyond that to pure idiocy.

Defund the universities. Now, before it’s too late.

Christian Blogger Visits the 1960s

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

I don’t think our friend “SlimJim” experienced the 1960s for himself; but I did, and his essay is thoughtful, penetrating, and right on target. Give it an attentive read.

Post 2020 World Being Like the 1960s?

I was in college for the anti-war movement, bomb threats on campus, hippies, drugs, “love”–whatever they meant by that–and the whole daily circus of “protests,” which were mostly virtue signalling, tumult, “days of rage,” and organized hypocrisy. Jimmy sees much the same happening in our country today; and he sees churches setting “woke ideology above the Bible.”

The Sixties bled into the Seventies and then seemingly bled out when Ronald Reagan was elected president.

But now they’re back. And for whatever my memory is worth… they’re worse.

‘They Need a Jolly Good Thrashing’ (2017)

What do our colleges produce but useful idiots?

I wonder if they’re still doing this at the Loonaversity of Arizona. Some enterprising Journalist ought to go there undercover and fine out. Excuse me–I forget there are no more journalists. Just Far Left cheerleaders.

They Need a Jolly Good Thrashing

In 2017 they were paying creepy little busybodies $10 an hour to be “social justice advocates” in the dorms–paid to nag their fellow students and rat out anyone who didn’t parrot the party line.

I’m sorry, but this is NOT America. And colleges that indulge in such abuses have no business being open anymore.

Stop “higher education” before it stops our country.

‘College vs. Free Speech’ (2017)

It’s getting smaller all the time

It’s been four years since I posted this, and our colleges and universities continue to undermine our country and wage war against our freedoms.

College vs. Free Speech

Honestly, we must be freakin’ suicidal, letting this go on and on–and paying for it, too! Paying colossal amounts of money! In addition to the harm Harvard does to souls and minds, it also sucks up more than 40 billion of our dollars every year. 

For which we get $40 billion worth of neo-Stalinist claptrap.

‘Most Fantastic Education Reform Ever!’ (2017)

Imagine a country in which every adult has a Ph. D.: in which every adult has to stay in college full-time until he gets one. Wow! 300 million Ph.D.’s, and then some!

Most Fantastic Education Reform Ever!

It might take you 25 years to earn your doctorate in Superhero Studies, but it’d be worth it! And think of the talent pool available for Mostly Peaceful Protests! Why, we’d achieve Pure Socialism in a matter of weeks!

We would all be “doctors.” That’s a plus!

‘When They Make You Say It’ (2018)

Personally, I can’t think of anything more demeaning, hateful, or wrath-provoking than being forced to say something that I don’t believe. I’m glad they hadn’t yet gotten into this when I was in college.

When They Make You Say It

And who makes you say things that you don’t believe? Liberals, of course! The very same hypocrities who are always yammering about “oppression” and “bullying”!

They need to be pitched into a river.

U. of Virginia Headed for Lawsuit Over Student’s Speech Rights

Posted By: leeduigonPosted On:

The Rubber Room. – Fred Klonsky

You have to be crazy to ask questions at a university!

A judge has ruled that a student can sue the University of Virginia for trying to cancel his First Amendment right to free speech (https://nypost.com/2021/04/08/virginia-student-can-proceed-with-lawsuit-over-panel-confrontation-judge/).

See, they were having a panel on “microaggression,” and a second-year student had the bad manners to ask some questions. Questions! At a university! Whoa! And hard questions, at that–like, what exactly is microaggression, who needs to be protected from it and who doesn’t, etc., etc. Five whole minutes he consumed! And the lecturer was so rattled, she went crying to the looniversity authorities–who suspended the student and advised him to check himself in for psychiatric evaluation–because anyone must be mad, to question the dogma of microaggression. Stark, staring mad.

When the student didn’t go quietly to the rubber room, the authorities expelled him. So he sued them on a laundry list of charges; and most of them the judge threw out, but the suit over the erasure of the plaintiff’s free speech rights will go forward.

We pray he is awarded punitive damages steep enough to make the whole university howl. People need to be fired over this. There should be no place in America that runs just like it was the Soviet Union circa 1970. Including our colleges and universities.

Truly, we are “educating” ourselves to death.
