Change....Blowin' In The Wind

[PoliticalChic]

Of course....the greatest indicator of change is the recent election.

The day after President Trump's victory, I pointed to this event at NYU as a major reason for Americans throwing out the Fascist politically correct establishment:

"Professor who tweeted against PC culture is out at NYU
An NYU professor crusading against political correctness and student coddling was booted from the classroom last week after his colleagues complained about his “incivility,”....

“They are actually pushing me out the door for having a different perspective,” the academic told The Post.

Rectenwald launched an undercover Twitter accountcalled Deplorable NYU Prof on Sept. 12 to argue against campus trends like “safe spaces,” “trigger warnings” policing Halloween costumes and other aspects of academia’s growing PC culture.

....he was afraid “the PC Gestapo would ruin me” if he put his name behind his conservative ideas on the famously liberal campus."
The Reason Mr. Trump Won


NYU....prestigious.....and waaaayyyyy Left.


But shortly after the Trump victory......well, take a look:

"The politically incorrect professor on leave since his NYU colleagues griped about his “incivility” has been promoted — and his fellow liberal-studies profs were lectured about their conduct.

Michael Rectenwald, 57, was bumped from assistant professor to full professor on Monday, just days after he was placed on paid leave. The promotion comes with an 18 percent raise to $80,000, a source said.
Rectenwald’s exit came on Oct. 26, two days after he outed himself as the “Deplorable NYU Prof,” an undercover Twitter profile he used to argue against college trends like “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings.”

His unmasking prompted a 12-person committee calling itself the Liberal Studies Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Working Group to publish a letter in the student paper charging that Rectenwald was “guilty of illogic and incivility.”

The same day, he was summoned to a meeting with the dean, where it was suggested he take a paid leave, Rectenwald said.


But amid public outcry following The Post’s report on his exit, NYU e-mailed Rectenwald last week to inform him that his application for a full professorship had been approved. He had applied six months ago."

Much like a fart.

90% of those who had jobs as federal law makers still have their jobs as federal law makers.

The Democrats actually picked up seats.

And Americans did their usually 8 year flip from one party to the other where the Oval Office is concerned.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The federal government should judge them the way they judge 'racism'....by percentages of staff on the two sides of the aisle.

On the bright side, it's so good that you keep coming back for the education I provide.

Yep it was a great night for democrats
lost the presidency
gained less than 10 seats in the house, after expecting 20-30
didn't take control in the senate and only picked up 2 seats
lost more governorships
4 states have unified dem control, 25 republican.

Only the most brain-dead are still on board that sinking raft.



"His presidency will end with Democrats in possession of 11 fewer Senate seats (depending on how you count), more than 60 fewer House seats, at least 14 fewer governorships and more than 900 fewer seats in state legislatures than when it began.

I wouldn’t call it a great night. The idea that there was some sort of massacre is simply false however.

I don’t think anyone of standing is under the impression that Obama is thought of as a top 5 POTUS.

10. "The Left’s most rigid taboos involve the biology of race and gender, ....the dogma that “any differences we see among races, ethnic groups, sexes, and individuals come not from differences in their innate constitution but from differences in their experiences.”

The dogma constricts researchers’ perspective—“No biology, please, we’re social scientists”—and discourages debate, in and out of academia. Early researchers in sociobiology faced vitriolic attacks from prominent scientists like Stephen Jay Gould, who accused them of racism and sexism for studying genetic influences on behavior.



Studying IQ has been a risky career move since the 1970s, when researchers ...had to cancel lectures (and sometimes hire bodyguards) because of angry protesters accusing them of racism. Government funding dried up, forcing researchers in IQ and behavioral genetics to rely on private donors, who in the 1980s financed the renowned Minnesota study of twins reared apart. Leftists tried to cut off that funding in the 1990s, when the University of Delaware halted the IQ research of Linda Gottfredson and Jan Blits for two years by refusing to let them accept a foundation’s grant; the research proceeded only after an arbitrator ruled that their academic freedom had been violated.



Some genetic differences are politically acceptable on the left, such as the biological basis for homosexuality, which was deemed plausible by 70 percent of sociologists in a recent survey. But that same survey found that only 43 percent accepted a biological explanation for male-female differences in spatial skills and communication. How could the rest of the sociologists deny the role of biology? It was no coincidence that these doubters espoused the most extreme left-wing political views and the strongest commitment to a feminist perspective. To dedicated leftists and feminists, it doesn’t matter how much evidence of sexual differences is produced...."

As Dennis Prager has observed....The more years in the university in the study of the social sciences, the less wise an individual is.
