What They Learn in College: Revolution

[PoliticalChic]

1. What is the obligation of an institution that issues an invitation, to the invitee? Is there any?

At the most basic level, would one accepting said invitation to speak at a conference be entitled to expect the air conditioning to work? Or...at least the lighting...microphone?



2. How about physical protection, security:
"Students stormed the stage at Columbia University's Roone auditorium yesterday, knocking over chairs and tables and attacking Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minutemen, a group that patrols the border between America and Mexico." At Columbia, Students Attack Minuteman Founder - The New York Sun

a. "Two men ran up on stage last night and threw pies at conservative author Ann Coulter while she spoke in Centennial Hall"
Arizona Daily Wildcat - Coulter avoids pie in face - Friday, October 22, 2004

b. Based on the facts.....is the acceptance of an invitation to speak an agreement to accept whatsoever thugs decide is appropriate?





3. Which brings me to the most recent outrage by Liberal 'Brownshirts.' "Students shout NYC police commissioner Ray Kelly off stage over 'stop and frisk' at Brown University"

a. A handful of Brown University students successfully ended a campus speech by New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly on Tuesday, accusing the official of overseeing the city’s "racist" stop and frisk policy."
Students shout NYC police commissioner Ray Kelly off stage over 'stop and frisk' at Brown University






4. This debate....speech....exchange of views....that college thugs are ending....shouldn't the administration require student photo ID's be submitted at the door, and this behavior punished by suspensions?

And...if noting is being done to prevent same....isn't the subtext simply that this oppression is being endorsed???


a. Here is the extent of the administration's response:
Brown President Christina Paxson released a statement which slammed the actions of the protesters.
“The conduct of disruptive members of the audience is indefensible and an affront both to civil democratic society and to the university’s core values of dialogue and the free exchange of views,” Paxson’s statement read.


b. This is the message of Liberalism being taught: shut down opposition voices. No different from any totalitarian system.

This is the real instruction at our Liberal bastions.





5. Now, a word about Brown University. Yes, it is one of the Ivy's....but considered the laughing stock of the Ivy League, having succumbed to early on to the radical influences, which exchanged learning for rule by radicals.

a. "The death knell was the ascension of the radical generation of the 1960's. They not only assaulted the universities, but cowed the administrations. Consider the talented and tireless Ira Magaziner. “As a student activist at Brown University in the late 1960s, he helped codify the no-requirements approach of the so-called New Curriculum (few grades, lots of self-discovery) and changed the face of modern academics."
Goldberg, "Liberal Fascism."

And this mention of the reputation of Brown University:
6. "We were talking about what they were learning in the course, and I mentioned how much it helped me in my upper-level English courses to be able to refer to Augustine's attachment to Neoplatonism before his conversion, and rely upon the fact that the students would know something of what I was talking about. They said that they didn't know anything of it either, and I laughed and replied that they would, by the end of this semester. And I added, "Unlike freshmen at that four-year community college on the other side of the city, er, you know, what's its name -- Brown!" We had a nice laugh at that. For Brown has had no real curriculum since the days when Ira Magaziner was a student rebel there, and assisted the administration in eliminating it." The Credentialed Gentry and The Unpersuaded Yahoos by Elizabeth Scalia | First Things



a. “…The fate of the modern university and the fate of Western civilization are inextricably intertwined.”
Brigette Berger, “Multiculturalism and the Modern University,” from ‘The Politics of Political Correctness,’ in the Partisan Review (1993) pp. 516, 519





And there you have it. For political power the Left has ended the hegemony of Western civilization.
In Obama's America we can see the elements of a backwater banana republic, where might makes right, and laws are made malleable.



Lament the late, great, United States....

 

[Neotrotsky]

The left depends on ignorance

Truth is hard for the left
In fact, it is their worst enemy

It is better and easier to keep them ignorant than
have to cover up the truth later

To give one an example of the "quality" of education

Pennsylvania public school graduates currently enrolled at four different PA universities to see what they know about the Holocaust, WWII, and Genocide in general.

i will NOT lament.., i will fight till there is no more fight left in me...., or i run out of ammo........, which will take a very looooooong time

They need to be taught retaliation. I bet they won't like it.

 

[regent]

It seems that some people appreciate some of the college rewards: a degree, a better job, a rise in status, but what they don't like is that damn thinking that some schools, some classes and some professors allow their students to partake. It's that student thinking coupled with all that new information that is the problem. That's the part that is communistic, socialistic and evil, a bad combination-new information plus thinking.
If only colleges would just take the student's money, give degrees and keep that new information to themselves how much happier some people, including parents, politicians and citizens would be.

A. The tactics of the New Right, i.e. The Tea Party, and their orchestrated shout downs of members of Congress during the summer of 2010 and the calling of the President of the United States a lair ("you lie") as he spoke to the nation missing from PC's rant must be an oversight. Otherwise one might come to the conclusion that PC is a political hack and dishonest in blaming "Obama's America" for our devolution into a "banana republic" (which by the way is a racist comment one might expect from an elitist).

B. Apparently not an oversight, and in her own words: "b. This is the message of Liberalism being taught: shut down opposition voices. No different from any totalitarian system."

Democrats/liberal/progressives are the voice and spirit of love and tolerance, who would never dream to interrupt, disrespect, shut up and disdain opposing voices.

Just ask Ann Coulter, Juan Williams, Ray Kelly and any and all speakers who are not pro-abortionist, pro-life and dare to call their idol, the first (half) black president what he is.

...in support of secular Leftism.


1. "To Mark Bauerlein, a professor of English at Emory University, the present is a good time to be young only if you don't mind a tendency toward empty-headedness. In "The Dumbest Generation," he argues that cultural and technological forces, far from opening up an exciting new world of learning and thinking, have conspired to create a level of public ignorance so high as to threaten our democracy.

Mr. Bauerlein contrasts such "evidence-lite enthusiasm" for digital technologies with a weightier learning tradition. He eulogizes New York's City College in the mid-20th century, a book-centered, debate-fostering place where a generation of intellectuals rejected the "sovereignty of youth" in favor of the concerted study of canonical texts and big ideas."
From Bookshelf- book review in the May 13, 2008 Wall Street Journal




2. "In the past 50 years, by one reckoning, the working vocabulary of the average 14 year-old has declined from some 25,000 words to 10,000 words. This is not merely a decline in numbers of words but in the capacity to think. It also signifies that there has been a steep decline in the number of things that an adolescent needs to know and to name in order to get by in an increasingly homogenized and urbanized consumer society.

That fact says a great deal about why the decline in working vocabulary has gone unnoticed—few are paying attention. The decline is surely not consistent across the full range of language but concentrates in those areas having to do with large issues such as philosophy, religion, public policy, and nature. ....As a result we are losing the capacity to say what we really mean and ultimately to think about what we mean. We are losing the capacity for articulate intelligence about the things that matter most.

"That sucks," for example, is a common way for budding young scholars to announce their displeasure about any number of things that range across the spectrum of human experience."

[Moonglow]

yet again we see that a minority is regarded as the majority.

 

[Old Rocks]

Once again we see the preferance for no more than a third grade education in a 'Conservative'. But we fully understand the disdain for science and learning. When one is as mentally handicapped as these people are, it is easier to do the neener-neener act than admit that far smarter and more adult people are handling the heavy lifiting in our present society.

Sorry PC, the people that do intensive study in the various disciplines in the Universities earn respect. Those, like you, that stand on the sidelines and demonstrate your ignorance, earn the earn nothing but disrespect.

Of course, that shows a modicum of intelligence......

....Your total belief in two of the biggest scams of the century....global warming and Darwinism, certainly don't deserve respect.

 

[PoliticalChic]

They need to be taught retaliation. I bet they won't like it.

Well....let's explore that idea.....

If one were to assume that university administrators were adults who lived by the principles that they claim to endorse.....

"Brown President Christina Paxson released a statement which slammed the actions of the protesters.
“The conduct of disruptive members of the audience is indefensible and an affront both to civil democratic society and to the university’s core values of dialogue and the free exchange of views,” Paxson’s statement read."

....then, how would they act?

1. They could begin by seeing to the ID's of those attending speeches and conferences....use of a card-swipe computer to have a record of attendees....
and use same to track down "disruptive members of the audience."


2. Those who break the rules...e.g.. "...an affront both to civil democratic society and to the university’s core values of dialogue and the free exchange of views,”....should be suspended from school.

Otherwise....the message is clear: this kind of behavior us just fine.





It was done here:

"Middlebury College suspends student in 9/11 flag grabbing
Anna Shireman-Grabowski was suspended for one year for violating several college policies, including “General Conduct Standards, Respect for Persons and Respect for Property.” The college did not name Shireman-Grabowski, but she identified herself as a participant in an online post shortly after the incident. Excerpts of this post were published in the Independent last month….
Shireman-Grabowski appealed the suspension, but it was upheld Oct. 9 by the Middlebury Community Judicial Board."

"Students stormed the stage at Columbia University's Roone auditorium yesterday, knocking over chairs and tables and attacking Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minutemen, a group that patrols the border between America and Mexico." At Columbia, Students Attack Minuteman Founder - The New York Sun

a. "Two men ran up on stage last night and threw pies at conservative author Ann Coulter while she spoke in Centennial Hall"
Arizona Daily Wildcat - Coulter avoids pie in face - Friday, October 22, 2004

b. Based on the facts.....is the acceptance of an invitation to speak an agreement to accept whatsoever thugs decide is appropriate?





3. Which brings me to the most recent outrage by Liberal 'Brownshirts.' "Students shout NYC police commissioner Ray Kelly off stage over 'stop and frisk' at Brown University"

a. A handful of Brown University students successfully ended a campus speech by New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly on Tuesday, accusing the official of overseeing the city’s "racist" stop and frisk policy."
Students shout NYC police commissioner Ray Kelly off stage over 'stop and frisk' at Brown University






4. This debate....speech....exchange of views....that college thugs are ending....shouldn't the administration require student photo ID's be submitted at the door, and this behavior punished by suspensions?

And...if noting is being done to prevent same....isn't the subtext simply that this oppression is being endorsed???


a. Here is the extent of the administration's response:
Brown President Christina Paxson released a statement which slammed the actions of the protesters.
“The conduct of disruptive members of the audience is indefensible and an affront both to civil democratic society and to the university’s core values of dialogue and the free exchange of views,” Paxson’s statement read.


b. This is the message of Liberalism being taught: shut down opposition voices. No different from any totalitarian system.

This is the real instruction at our Liberal bastions.





5. Now, a word about Brown University. Yes, it is one of the Ivy's....but considered the laughing stock of the Ivy League, having succumbed to early on to the radical influences, which exchanged learning for rule by radicals.

a. "The death knell was the ascension of the radical generation of the 1960's. They not only assaulted the universities, but cowed the administrations. Consider the talented and tireless Ira Magaziner. “As a student activist at Brown University in the late 1960s, he helped codify the no-requirements approach of the so-called New Curriculum (few grades, lots of self-discovery) and changed the face of modern academics."
Goldberg, "Liberal Fascism."

And this mention of the reputation of Brown University:
6. "We were talking about what they were learning in the course, and I mentioned how much it helped me in my upper-level English courses to be able to refer to Augustine's attachment to Neoplatonism before his conversion, and rely upon the fact that the students would know something of what I was talking about. They said that they didn't know anything of it either, and I laughed and replied that they would, by the end of this semester. And I added, "Unlike freshmen at that four-year community college on the other side of the city, er, you know, what's its name -- Brown!" We had a nice laugh at that. For Brown has had no real curriculum since the days when Ira Magaziner was a student rebel there, and assisted the administration in eliminating it."

a. “…The fate of the modern university and the fate of Western civilization are inextricably intertwined.”
Brigette Berger, “Multiculturalism and the Modern University,” from ‘The Politics of Political Correctness,’ in the Partisan Review (1993) pp. 516, 519





And there you have it. For political power the Left has ended the hegemony of Western civilization.
In Obama's America we can see the elements of a backwater banana republic, where might makes right, and laws are made malleable.



Lament the late, great, United States....

yet again we see that a minority is regarded as the majority.

Did you know that society has laws that single out murders.....who, as of this moment, are a minority.


Your problem with that is .....exactly what?

 

[PoliticalChic]

1. What is the obligation of an institution that issues an invitation, to the invitee? Is there any?

At the most basic level, would one accepting said invitation to speak at a conference be entitled to expect the air conditioning to work? Or...at least the lighting...microphone?

Since you obviously didn't learn anything of value, clearly, college isn't for everyone.

Do you know the meaning of "obviously"???


Based on the meaning of the word, your post is fallacious.
