Tenure: A Defeat for Liberalism???

[PaintMyHouse]

This is what our educational system has become, virtually controlled totally by liberals, and if you think there is something REALLY WRONG here, it is time you go to the polls, and send them a resounding message.........GO TO HELL, GO DIRECTLY TO HELL, do not pass go, and do not collect 200 of our dollars anymore!

Teaching, like journalism, is a liberal profession. It will have, like life, a liberal bent. Liberalism grants you liberty. Why you would oppose that God only knows.

Freedom is choices, plain and simple. If the left would allow choice in schools and education, as much as it demands choice for abortion, I believe the country would not be so divided.

Public education is what teaches Americans to live with, and as, Americans. It's how we create Citizens of the Republic, not just teach the three R's. That's part of life but not all that matters. That is why the left so strongly supports public education. It goes along with founding the place. Hand in glove.

Ultra-conservative Oral Roberts University has tenured professors.

University Tenured Faculty - Oral Roberts University - A Christian College, based in Tulsa Oklahoma.

Proof the OP is once again full of sewage.

See.....I realize I've upset you, using 'Liberalism' and 'defeat' in the same sentence....but what is it you imagine you've proven???

You've merely agreed that I am correct, and tenure is pro forma.
(better look that up)


The sewage, it seems, reversed course.

I'm proving that tenure is widely offered at conservative colleges, thus demolishing your comical attempt to declare it 'progressive'.

Brigham Young, one of the most conservative universities in the country:

845 tenured faculty.

http://www.collegefactual.com/colle...sity-provo/academic-life/faculty-composition/

...lol, too easy.

"I'm proving that tenure is widely offered..."

I just said that.


Stop trying to suck up.

So your point is that tenure was a liberal idea that is now widely accepted by conservatives?

lol, what's new?

Due to your problems with short term memory, you probably don't remember that my threads are akin to peeling an onion....layer by layer....leading to an unassailable conclusion.

A conclusion which, with mechanical reliability, destroys our worldviews.
My pleasure.

Won't be long before I force you into vulgarity.




And, like the onion mentioned above, on the outside I may appear rude, abrasive and sarcastic, but, just like an onion, when you peel away the layers, ...you'll find the same thing...and you'll cry like a baby.

Sweetcheeks, the only time I cry at what you post is from laughter at your pronouncements that you are educated enough to cut and paste anything that actually matters, which you are not of course. The joke is, you don't know that. Your "education" comes from partisan hacks like Coulter. Her books should be in the Humor section only her fans, like you, aren't in on the inside joke...

"Your "education" comes from partisan hacks like Coulter."

Wanna hum along?

Shameful that you would insult such a well-respected and honorable institution, by pretending you attended it.

Oooooo......look who's jealous!



Stand up for your alma mater....
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College

Even if you had attended anything like a good school, beyond cleaning the bathrooms, I wouldn't be jealous. I have pity for you, nothing else. You've been lied to your whole life, and don't know it...

What is the matter with you today???

Gads....these are your weakest posts ever!


So simply to prove you're lying......any examples of mistakes,errors, falsehoods in any of my posts?

None?

Not one"

Not even an itsy bitsy flub?????



You poor thing, you.

Don't you want to thank me for including you, here:
"...[John] Dewey arguably did more than any other reformer to repackage progressive social theory in a way that obscured just how radically its principles departed from those of the American founding.

Like Ely and many of his fellow progressive academics, Dewey initially embraced the term “socialism” to describe his social theory. Only after realizing how damaging the name was to the socialist cause did he, like other progressives, begin to avoid it. In the early 1930s, accordingly, Dewey begged the Socialist party, of which he was a longtime member, to change its name.

“The greatest handicap from which special measures favored by the Socialists suffer,” Dewey declared, “is that they are advanced by the Socialist party as Socialism. The prejudice against the name may be a regrettable prejudice but its influence is so powerful that it is much more reasonable to imagine all but the most dogmatic Socialists joining a new party than to imagine any considerable part of the American people going over to them.”

Dewey’s influential 1935 tract, Liberalism and Social Action, should be read in the light of this."

Now do you understand that calling yourselves 'Liberals' is really admitting that you are Socialists?

Excellent.




BTW....any errors or lies here?

No?

"Rather than squabbling, Adams and Jefferson knew that public education was at the heart of democracy. “The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people and be willing to bear the expenses of it,” wrote Adams. “There should not be a district of one mile square, without a school in it, not founded by a charitable individual, but maintained at the public expense of the people themselves.”

Jefferson, witness to the Revolution, drafter of the Declaration of Independence, and founder of the nation’s first public university, rightfully believed that it was the government and citizenry’s duty to invest tax dollars in public education: “[T]he tax which will be paid for this purpose [education] is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance.”

Hand in glove? Then if it doesn't fit, you must acquit! The left hasn't raised people in the education system to be free thinkers, they have raised them to be NON-Thinkers. You must acquit them totally from doing it!

Know what? It would be ok if they were teaching them advanced methods of math, or science, or anything that demanded a formula. But when 2/3rds of these people are going for liberal arts, or any endeavor the is SUBJECTIVE, graded upon the SUBJECTIVE thought process of the professor, something is amiss.

In all honesty, I think the odds are 60-40 that in the not to distant future, you lefties will have your way. (not this time around, but in 20 or 24, and it will not revert back) At that time, it is going to be set in stone that we will ALL crash, certain countries sooner, some later.

We now have a country of people not tied to it, but rather because of lefty policies, they could just pick up and leave going to greener pastures, because home is where the heart is, and they are not being taught in any degree this is home. In fact, they are being taught to exert their political will while not tying their allegiance to here.

I will probably be gone, maybe you too. But this is what we will leave behind for those that come after us to pick up the pieces and continue on.

I kinda hope you are younger-) I will never know what has happened, but YOU will be forced to face what your choices have wrought upon our children, and grandchildren.

Doesn't mean I am 100% correct. Nobody is 100% correct, we all know that. And yet, I find solace in the thought that YOU will have to deal with your own mess, and those who think like you. At least I am consistent-----> GW spending very bad, Obama spending, worse because it was more. You tend to divide them, how, I will never know.

Good luck! i WILL BE LOOKING EITHER DOWN, OR UP, LAUGHING AT YOU TRYING TO EXTRICATE OUR COUNTRY FROM THIS MESS. If they have beer, wherever I am located, I will order one up and smile-)

The "mess" the country is in is because the citizens are poorly educated, and have been allowed to, because it's good for capitalism, think almost universally only about themselves, not the nation as a whole or their fellow citizens. And the partisanship of politics never stops, even after the elections when governing is supposed to begin. It's become a Winner Take All game, and everyone is losing.

The fix for that is a well-educated population with a high understanding of civics and willing to do the right thing for themselves and their fellow citizens. Right now, those people are few and far between. See if you can agree with me, without partisanship, on this: We have only ourselves to blame...

7. Tenure is one of those perqs that Liberal/Progressives use to keep the teaching profession in line.

Want graduated increases in income?

Career advancement and a promise of eternal employment?

Well....remain a lock-step Liberal and all will be well.


Doubt who gets the reward of tenure?


'Academic feminists who received tenure, promotion, and funding, tended to be pro-abortion, pro-pornography (anti-censorship), pro-prostitution (pro-sex workers), pro-surrogacy, and anti-colonialist, anti-imperialist, and anti-American…proponents of simplistic gender-neutrality (women and men are exactly the same) or essentialist: men and women are completely different, and women are better. They are loyal to their careers and their cliques, not to the truth. [In their writing, they] have pretended that brilliance and originality can best be conveyed in a secret, Mandarin language that absolutely no one, including themselves, can possibly understand…and this obfuscation of language has been employed to hide a considerable lack of brilliance and originality and to avoid the consequences of making oneself clear.' “The Death of Feminism,” by Phyllis Chesler



8. Liberals stamp out dissent by social and professional ostracism and legal discrimination. This is the modern version of methods used by medieval Christianity: a secular Inquisition.


a. Intelligentsia as grand inquisitors: in the media, universities, the law, political and professional groups. The dominating ideologies include anti-capitalism, feminism, multiculturalism, and environmentalism. They form the unchallengeable orthodoxy in academia. No challenges or deviations are permitted, and anyone who does not share these values is defined as extreme.


b. These ideologies have as their common theme the overturning of the established order of the West.


c. How ironic that intellectual liberty is assaulted within the institutions of reason. Melanie Philips, “The World Turned Upside Down,” ch 6


Liberals and Progressives are, by and large, the recipients of tenure. It's called 'keeping it in the family.'

I've read your threads. They resemble a turd more than an onion.

So....that's your term for 'truth,' you disgusting little twerp?

Truth? You claim tenure is a bad liberal plot, but admit it is widely used by the most conservative universities. Why don't you just post on teabagger forums? They will fall for all your silly crap. Sane people just laugh at your convoluted reasoning.

I proved it's origination is to support racist Progressive ideology.

That was my intention...and, again...a success.

I will go on to show how it is related to a defeat for Liberalism.



So far you have been unable to find a single error or inaccuracy in my posts.
That would be a clue were you more intelligent, and less indoctrinated.

You are truly a legend in your own mind. I'm sure you are proud.

Must be a reason you pretended not to see it.

'Academic feminists who received tenure, promotion, and funding, tended to be pro-abortion, pro-pornography (anti-censorship), pro-prostitution (pro-sex workers), pro-surrogacy, and anti-colonialist, anti-imperialist, and anti-American…proponents of simplistic gender-neutrality (women and men are exactly the same) or essentialist: men and women are completely different, and women are better. They are loyal to their careers and their cliques, not to the truth. [In their writing, they] have pretended that brilliance and originality can best be conveyed in a secret, Mandarin language that absolutely no one, including themselves, can possibly understand…and this obfuscation of language has been employed to hide a considerable lack of brilliance and originality and to avoid the consequences of making oneself clear.' “The Death of Feminism,” by Phyllis Chesler

Feminist icon and political activist Phyllis Chesler, author of the 2.5-million copy bestseller Women and Madness and the controversial The New Anti-Semitism, calls for an overhaul of the women's movement. In this important book, Phyllis Chesler asks the questions: Within feminism, is there room for free thinkers who oppose the party line? What if a feminist believes in capitalism? God? Patriotism?
