Every killer has his tale to tell explaining why what he did was not his fault. He got no love from his mother. His wife cheated on him. The Nazis killed his grandfather. His brother had been drafted and killed in Vietnam. His neighbor's dog was Satan. A guy flipped him off on the expressway. Somebody hit his car in a parking lot. The government wanted to take away his gun. Somebody stole his watch at the gym, or in Zimmermann's case, the guy looked suspicious, and needed to be confronted. Why anyone dignifies such crap as valid alibis is beyond me.
I know, let's kill economists for not suggesting that double-entry accounting be mandatory in the schools for the last 50 years.
Only the White ones. Beat the crap out of the non-White ones.

I got a rather liberal education at one of those radical schools, taught by some of the world's most famous lefties and nobody there advocated killing white people.
Or this......
Teaching Math in 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1990:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math Today:
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.
Bullshit.
And I'd add, if you need me to teach you basic algebra skills, you shouldn't ever get to my classroom. College level math is about learning how to think analytically, apply problem solving techniques, and use the mathematical tools you've learned. It's about logic, thorough investigation, and precision.
I'd also add, the Texas Board of Education is one of the most influential forces in the USA for determining what goes into textbooks. If you really are finding Math books with that bullshit, and I personally have never once seen that, then you need to talk with them. Because if they decide something shouldn't be in a textbook, it pretty typically doesn't make the cut.

Evident.

Is this post an attempt to deny the truth of his statement.....i.e., no such 'lesson' could be gleaned from his curriculum?
So....you surmise that he confessed to the killing and maiming....but pretended that he was taught various defamations about white folk?
You think that makes sense?

Yes, I'm sure it is.
Try not to envy me too much.
I got some lucky breaks.

I'll bow out gracefully. I had not noticed that you quote Ann Coulter on your signature line. I would just as soon argue the merits of athiesm with the Pope...and about as productive.
"A study of more than 2,300 undergraduates found 45 percent of students show no significant improvement in the key measures of critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing by the end of their sophomore years.
-Overall, the picture doesn't brighten much over four years. After four years, 36 percent of students did not demonstrate significant improvement, compared to 45 percent after two."

There is a difference between anger and violence. As much as I love my cat, I get pretty angry at him when he goes outside his box. I have yet to kick or hurt him.
Again, the Bible, specifically the Old Testament, has some pretty violent punishments for folks that transgress. If someone that goes to church commits a hate crime, is the Pastor somehow responsible for that violence after teaching that sexual immorality is a sin?
In general, stupid violent people do stupid violent things. After the fact they look for the validation for what they've done. This is the truth today. It's the biggest motivator for terrorism in the Middle East. Poor angry people find a rational to act on their anger.
There is no excuse for pejorative messages in said teaching.
If you doubt that, imagine the group targeted had been one of the 'authentic' minorities, and see how any excuse for same falls flat.
A lot is missing from your post that might explain the murders under other theories...
1. What race was he and was he Black?
2. Was he new to America and did not know its history? (sounds like it)
3. At the university level he did not know about colonialism? (impossible)
4. The only programs that might foster racial hatred would be Black History and the study of Malcolm X
5. He may have been responding from a new perspective of his race.
None of these are adequate reasons for why one student would use information learned in college to murder others....Your argument is similar to the "video game theory" of murder and does not apply to other university students. Your blanket application to all universities and students is ludicrous. It is obvious from your many posts that you have not attended a university. People should not discuss areas in which they have little knowledge and The Blaze is a poor source for citation.
Saying "Liberal Education" is right wing justification for having no education at all.

One, I don't know the topic that the guy was taking when he heard that stuff. I took a few African and Latin America history courses in college and some pretty damning stuff about the USA was said, but in all fairness to the professor, CIA and KGB intervention in those areas have been pretty damning in and of itself. I myself teach a History of Mathematics course, and when the topic of Hypatia and the final true Greek mathematicians comes up I say some pretty damning stuff about the Catholic Church because, let's face it, it was a Christian mob incited to riot that killed her.
In general though, there's a difference between pointing out factual occurences (the CIA overthrew democratically elected governments in Latin America. The Catholic Church shut down the Grove of Academia) and outright racial intolerance. I'd be curious why on Earth that stuff came up.
But even if the teacher crossed a line, unless he was advocating violence himself, he's not responsible. That's just how it is. It doesn't matter if he's advocating against homosexuality (as many clergy do), against black people, etc. Legally we only hold someone responsible for another person's actions when they directly advocate that action or when they actively enable it.

You seem to regularly show a.... sensitivity.... to the term 'education.'
It it the lack thereof that has produced such resentment for folks who have one?
This is why you shouldn't have jumped at the first one you saw advertised on the back of a book of matches.
Look at the bright side.....you do a mean sketch of a pirate.

Sorry. I don't have a BS in Bible Study. Or some might call it, a "Double BS".
