How the University Wastes Your Money

23 Best Alarm Clocks for Heavy Sleepers - WiseStep

Could we wake up now, please–while there’s still something left for us to wake up to?

If you missed Walter Williams’ column on townhall.com yesterday (https://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2020/10/21/disgusting-professorial-teachings-n2578378), “Disgusting Professorial Teachings,” read it today.

Yes, our colleges and universities are chock-full of race-baiting swabs posing as professors; but I wish to draw your particular attention to some information given toward the end of the column.

At the University of Pennsylvania, the looniversity’s Chief Diversity Officer earns a salary of $580,000 a year. That’s right–over half a million dollars. And for what?

At the University of Michigan, the Vice Provost for Equity and Inclusion (what the hell–?) and the Chief Diversity Officer are paid $385,000 a year.

Elsewhere, throughout the land, chief diversity scammers are paid $200,000 a year and up.

This is your money, people! You worked for it. You pay it out in tuition and your taxes. And look what you’re getting for it! C’mon–how many of you even know what a “vice provost for equity and inclusion” is? But you’re paying for it.

Stop, stop, stop, stop the waste! Williams suggests the alumni zip their checkbooks shut. Even better if the rest of us simply stop sending our kids there.

Oh–and you’re paying for those disgusting professorial teachings, too.

‘Wacko Lefty Colleges Get Hit Where It Hurts’ (2017)

Despite the financial beating they took in 2017, these two bastions of higher mis-education are still in business.

Wacko Lefty Colleges Get Hit Where It Hurts

Like the old high school football chant says, “Hit ’em again, hit ’em again, harder, harder!” We haven’t heard of any college or university that has actually been forced to close its doors. That’s only going to happen if the alumni stop writing checks and the rest of us somehow convince those snorts on Capitol Hill to stop pouring billions of dollars in tax money down the college drain.

It would also be extremely helpful if we stopped sending our kids there. I mean, how badly does anybody need a degree in Gender Studies?

Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybody: Pluckrose, Helen, Lindsay, James: 9781634312028: Amazon.com: Books

I’m reading and reviewing this book for Chalcedon–or maybe I should say “trying to read it.” It’s an analysis, by two self-identified liberals, of all the Far Left Crazy bullschiff bubbling out of our colleges and universities these days, all the “Critical Theory” that’s addling human minds from coast to coast.

The authors are afraid that this movement, before it can devour itself, will grow so obnoxious, so demonstrably harmful, that it’ll drive millions of normal people into the arms of the “Far Right,” whoever that may be. Everyone who’s not a lib, I suspect. We are talking about authors who, in their spare time, are always looking under the bed for those looming “theocracies” they’re so afraid of. And then what’ll happen to their precious LGBT, transgender, and cockeyed humanist notions?

It can’t happen soon enough, says I.

Meanwhile, I’m finding it tough sledding to bull my way through all this analysis of poppycock that actually defies analysis–and indeed is purposely constructed to defy analysis. I mean, there’s only so much of this that anyone who’s not a kollege kook can take!

I guess I’ll write my review next week, wanting to get it out there before Election Day. I need hardly say that none of this nonsense would be possible without the lunatic sponsorship and support of the Democrat Party. That bunch needs an exorcist… big-time.

College: Shut It Down

When it’s too late to get your tuition money back…

Does anything good get done at any university? Not that I’ve heard of.

Meanwhile, the University of Minnesota offers a two-hour lecture, with academic credit, on “Recovery from Whitness” (https://www.thecollegefix.com/university-of-minnesota-lecture-features-12-step-recovery-program-for-whiteness/). ‘Cause, see, bein’ white is bad-bad-bad!

This crock features “a 12-step program,” a la Alcoholics Anonymous, “that helps people recover from their whiteness.”

Why are people sending their children to this place–and paying through the nose to do it? Why is there government funding for it? Why are we paying these moral imbeciles to addle young people’s minds and wack out our country? How is it that none of this–not a word of it–is not considered hate speech? Can you imagine the reaction, if they had something called “recovery from blackness”? The solar system couldn’t contain the outrage.

As a nation we must have a damned big screw loose, to allow this.

Yo, college! You want to recover from Whiteness? Let’s see how you do without white people’s money!

And non-whites, be patient: when they’ve finished with white people, they’ll turn on you. And when they’ve finally eaten everybody, they’ll eat themselves.

That’s Satan’s plan, at least.

The Hate Group that All the Colleges Love

Once upon a time, this would have been unthinkable in America–forcing people to sign a “pledge” endorsing a political doctrine that they don’t believe in. As in “Sign it or else!”

Thanks to our America-hating educational system, it’s unthinkable no more.

All over the country, colleges and universities are forcing students and staff to sign pledges of support for the “Black Lives Matter” movement, a violent Marxist revolutionary group (https://americanpeopledaily.com/blm-agenda-liberal-universities-forcing-students-to-sign-pledge-or-else/). Some 150 law schools have told the American Bar Assn. that you shouldn’t be able to practice law until after you’ve completed “antiracist training.”

Wait! Stop! Hold it right there!

By requiring Americans to “take a stand against racism,” the Far Left turns it into a given that America is a racist society. They no longer have to prove it: it just is. They no longer have to win the argument. “Given that America is this evil racist society, what has to be changed about it?” This is an illegitimate and totally dishonest question.

It is not a racist country. And we are damned fools for allowing ourselves to be cowed by a bunch of commies, and not sticking up for our country–and meanwhile half the world is willing to do just about anything they can to come to this racist hell-hole… gimme a break.

These colleges and universities are actively undermining America, and using America’s hard-earned money to do it, and it flaming well has to stop. Or are we just going to wait until they tear down our republic and turn us into Venezuela North?

Take away the money! No more money for these wretched people! Stop the funding!

Before they stop our country.

‘College Isn’t Day Care, Prez Sez’ (2015)

Oh, get a life!

Remember this? Some needlehead complained when the “faith, hope, and charity” chapter, Chapter 13 of I Corinthians–one of the loveliest chapters in the Bible, by the way–was read in chapel!

College Isn’t Day Care, Prez Sez

 

Yowsah. This was threatening, this was triggering, what did they mean, trotting out the Bible in the chapel? And the college president blew a gasket.

It was only 2015 and the president of Oklahoma Wesleyan was already sick to death of pampered snowflakes whining and whimpering about other people’s religious beliefs. Crikey, he should see it now.

Special Election Season Message: Shatter the Democrats in this election, take away their power–and then we can really get down to the business of carting out all this Far Left Crazy junk and getting rid of it. And the stupid colleges and looniversities ought to be the first to go.

The Darkest College Story Yet

Pin on Artwork I really dig Part 5

Complete the sentence and win a lobotomy! “I send my children to college to be educated by wackos like this because__________.”

We are funding these idiot factories, with our tax dollars and tuition payments. We are funding lunatics like this:

A biology professor at Marshall University has been placed on administrative leave–it must be practically impossible to get fired outright–for saying she hopes everyone who supports President Donald Trump will catch COVID-19 and “die before the election” (https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15726).

Gee, that would’ve been over 60 million people, last time out. Probably more this time.

As if this outburst weren’t stupid enough, somehow the prof’s remark “surfaced” in the social media. We aren’t told what “surfaced” means. Could she have been deranged enough to have posted this herself?

University officials say they don’t approve of actually wishing death on people who don’t hold leftist political opinions. What they really object to, probably, is public outrage over this outrageous statement and a resulting sharp decline in enrollment… and less money flowing into the coffers.

Why are we funding these looniversities? Crikey, Charlie Manson missed his calling: he should’ve been teaching at a college.

This is what happens when you expand “higher education” way beyond the bounds of sanity. The idea that everyone must go to college is surely the most asinine notion in all of American history. Maybe even world history.

My guess is this loon will be back in the classroom when the heat dies down.

What I don’t understand is why parents don’t pull their kids out of there, pronto.

‘More of Your Tuition Dollars at Work’

Phoebe makes a great point about capers that seem really cool now might come back, years later, and bite you in the tuchas. Job prospects, reputation–kiss ’em goodbye. And all thanks to college!

More of Your Tuition Dollars at Work

So, yeah, we’re “in loco parentis”–the key word being “loco”–so let’s have the kids pose nude for our dirty little magazine–because this is higher education!

We could get rid of 90% of our “higher education” apparatus and be a better, saner country for it.

‘Washington State: White Students “Must Defer to Minorities”‘ (2015)

This nooze is five years old; but college has been rotting on the vine longer than that.

Here’s another instance of university presumption, arrogance, and cowardice.

Washington State: White Students ‘Must Defer to Minorities’

Because the “educators” in question were too asinine for words, I turned them over to Joe Collidge, the only one around here who could appreciate them. (Good grief! Have I been writing Joe Collidge for five years?)

The more they yammer about “diversity,” the less diversity they tolerate.

We pay them to educate our sons and daughters. We must be as crazy as they are.
