When you called me the biggest embarrassment in higher education, you must not have known about their bondage panel. Maybe you were tied up that evening and couldn’t make it.

I read this in the tips thread – delicious response to a biased idiot – yesss me son, there is more than enough “embarrassing” academic atrocious “thinking?” to go around – unfortunately for this unenlightened student, this prof’s opinions pale in comparison with the fringe psychotics who disguise their perversion as “progressivist” thought.
Someone needs to patent Zinger .
Damn , did I type that out loud ?
The thing is..
When the social revolution hit it landed in western colleges and Universities.. This youth culture was powerful and political and they went on to change the world.. The faculty jumped in with them and loved the idea of harnessing and directing such new found political power.. The social revolution came and went but not the faculties taste for power, it remained and is as strong today as it ever was..
So they dont care what they push or sell or offend or discriminate against as long as they get to taste the power one more time.. Radical feminism clean on through to Global Warming they are fighting for their right to create a job within a job within a job.. Anything but Teaching, preferably aggressive and rude but always with the promise of power.. That rush of making people afraid or uncomfortable is irresistible to people destined to be a bookworm..
If our society is going to heal itself our higher education must be politically reformed, returned to a non political neutral natural state of learning with angry leftism being a single optional course, not the entire curriculum..
“Or you can just concede that our system of hire education is the real embarrassment because it has been hijacked by radical feminism. And please pardon any puns – especially those that take the form of ms-spelled words.”
Ha!…as the leftard indoctrinates bemoan a dearth of employers seeking their edgy expertise…
Dennis Prager comments . . .
If every school principal gave this speech at the beginning of the next school year, America would be a better place.
To the students and faculty of our high school:
I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people.
I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers and against our country.
First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships.
The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity — your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American. This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans.
If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-, race- and non-American nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America, one of its three central values — e pluribus unum, “from many, one.” And this school will be guided by America’s values.
This includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.
Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism — an unhealthy preoccupation with the self — while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interesting in are those based on ethnic, racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.
Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America’s citizens for over 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensable reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English language skills, I would be remiss in my duty to ensure that you will be prepared to successfully compete in the American job market. We will learn other languages here — it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English — but if you want classes taught in your native language rather than in English, this is not your school.
Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning’s elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for Hollywood events than for church or school. These people have their priorities backward. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.
Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school’s property — whether in class, in the hallways or at athletic events. If you can’t speak without using the f-word, you can’t speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as “Nigger,” even when used by one black student to address another black, or “bitch,” even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few your age to instinctively distinguish between the elevated and the degraded, the holy and the obscene.
Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school, self-esteem will be attained in only one way — the way people attained it until decided otherwise a generation ago — by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.
Sixth, and last, I am reorienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately lucky — to be alive and to be an American.
Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.
Liberals can not be embarrassed, they have no conscience and no shame.
Great to read his stuff again! Pretty sure this is the same Professor Adams that had an excellent blog informing us about his days at a North Carolina campus and his “experience” with feminists and anti-gun crowds. (He boasted openly about his love for hunting)
He suddenly stopped blogging a few years ago. Does he sound familiar to anyone else?
I believe you are correct, Bluetech. He wrote some excellent colums including one on how the rap crowd were referring to their ‘lady’ friends. Enlightening to say the least. Kind of lost track of Mike a few years ago. Hope is back for a while – he seems to shed some light on the goings-on in upper education these days.
Pretty sure that would at least be deemed a charter violation, if not flat out hate speech up here Fred.
Jay, if past history is any guide, higher education will not heal itself on its own. It will take a catastrophe or upheaval of some sort. Until such happens higher education will continue its slide into the Marxist gutter, which has been the agenda for decades, and we will see our high schools corrupted into similar indoctrination centres.
As L.C. Bennett’s tip on last evening’s Reader Tips shows, Saskatchewan will now blend politics into the high School science and health curriculum.
Dennis Prager’s suggestion for a school speech opening a new year will not be read anywhere until this change happens.
A seminar on how to “appreciate” your own orgasms? Who the hell doesn’t appreciate their orgasms? How can you not appreciate them?
So THAT’s why liberals and progressive think that math is, um, hard.
