Despicable Behavior of Today's Academicians

[Billiejeens]

The Michigan State University administration pressured professor Stephen Hsu to resign from his position as vice president of research and innovation because he touted research that found police are not more likely to shoot black Americans. The study found: "The race of a police officer did not predict the race of the citizen shot. In other words, black officers were just as likely to shoot black citizens as white officers were." For political reasons, the authors of the study sought its retraction.

The U.S. Department of Education warned UCLA that it may impose fines for improperly and abusively targeting white professor Lt. Col. W. Ajax Peris for disciplinary action over his use of the n-word while reading to his class Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail" that contained the expressions "when your first name becomes "n----r," your middle name becomes "boy" (however old you are). Referring to white civil rights activists King wrote, "They have languished in filthy, roach-infested jails, suffering the abuse and brutality of policemen who view them as 'dirty n----r-lovers.'"

BJ's pull quote

The suppression of free speech and ideas by the elite is nothing new. It has a long ugly history. Galileo Galilei was a 17th-century Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer, sometimes called "father of modern physics." The Catholic Church and other scientists of his day believed that the Earth was the center of the universe. Galileo offered evidence that the Earth traveled around the sun -- heliocentrism. That made him "vehemently suspect of heresy" and was forced to recant and sentenced to formal imprisonment at the pleasure of the Inquisition and was later commuted to house arrest for the rest of his life.

Hsu should not have resigned

colleges in America today are filled with leftwing lunatics

colleges in America today are filled with leftwing lunatics

They come from the same "class" as our elected servants.


Today's ruling class, from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as tastes and habits. These amount to a social canon of judgments about good and evil, complete with secular sacred history, sins (against minorities and the environment), and saints. Using the right words and avoiding the wrong ones when referring to such matters -- speaking the "in" language -- serves as a badge of identity. Regardless of what business or profession they are in, their road up included government channels and government money because, as government has grown, its boundary with the rest of American life has become indistinct. Many began their careers in government and leveraged their way into the private sector. Some, e.g., Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner, never held a non-government job. Hence whether formally in government, out of it, or halfway, America's ruling class speaks the language and has the tastes, habits, and tools of bureaucrats. It rules uneasily over the majority of Americans not oriented to government.

America's Ruling Class -- And the Perils of Revolution

The only serious opposition to this arrogant Ruling Party is coming not from feckless Republicans but from what might be called the Country Party -- and its vision is revolutionary. Our special Summer Issue cover story.

That says absolutely nothing- the article, and I, said they ALL come from the same schools.
I'm pretty sure the so-called elite had fathers- can you say Bush Jr? What Ivy League school did he attend?
Along side John Kerry? What *group* did they belong to in the Ive League school they attended?

Geezus I wish you people would learn to read- it gets really old pointing out the obvious to chronological adults.

American aristocracy. Conformance is the coin of the realm. Absolute and unbending allegiance to the dogma of leftist academia. This isn't educated, rather it is indoctrinated.

The ruling families, McCain, Bush, Kennedy, Pelosi, et al. Cannot wield sufficient power to rule a country, hence the efforts of academia as the enforcers of cultural apartheid; recite the mantra of Global elitism or be "one of them."

I particularly like Dr. Codevilla's treatise of dependence economics. I have for decades stated that the dependency foisted by our elite onto the peasantry established a new serfdom. It's nice to see this articulated by someone else.

Top notch article.

Sadly, the ones I directed it to won't read it- they'd rather rely on 30 second sound bites that they believe validates their opinion(s)-
