		<description><![CDATA[Not the same thing at all.  Apples and cars.  Higher education isn&#039;t broadcasting.  The basis, as I understand it, for the FCC&#039;s regulatory ability and for the Fairness Doctrine is that broadcasters are using public airwaves--that&#039;s not the same thing as a classroom (even if it&#039;s at what are increasingly laughably called public institutions).

Besides, nothing here has established that there&#039;s anything happening that might require such things in the first place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1.  You do not understand how the process works, clearly.  Student complaints do get heard and are part of any department&#039;s process of evaluation.  Just because evaluation is handled by peers doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s corrupt.  Nor has anyone demonstrated the kind of exclusion that you&#039;re imagining actually exists.  Look at Economics Departments, for heaven&#039;s sake.  

2.  Perversion, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.  It&#039;s easy to talk this way about &quot;academia,&quot; and even fun, I take it, but you&#039;re both oversimplifying and misunderstanding how things are.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s no evidence in your post, only opinion.   

You&#039;re imagining things, it seems, based on a fundamental misunderstanding of education and what appears to be a very thin skin.

What do you mean by an &quot;objective look&quot;?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The system is deeply infested, yes. But &quot;burn it down and start from scratch and put the military in charge&quot; is just fantastical The proposal laid out by &#039;rubber stamp&#039; is not.  


It is clear that our nation is grossly infected with fascist/statist/socialist propaganda or whatever other label suits you. &quot;Evil&quot; is just fine with me. But proposing burning things down and military charge does several things, and I apologize in advance for being overly literal with what you probably only intend symbolically, but it&#039;s been repeated several times now: 1) It misunderstands our perverted academia to be something tangible that military intervention could affect. This infection, however, is philosophical. It is soulish. So then, an appeal to military is an appeal to doing nothing, essentially. 2) This expression that it&#039;s rotten to the core and should just be burned down only demonstrates exhaustion and overwhelm. Which we do feel. However, that accomplishes nothing by itself. It gives up. What &#039;rubber stamp&#039; is suggesting is that our just anger and intolerance of this collapse to the Leftists prevail over the whelming loss we feel, and instead of leading us into unrealistic expressions, actually let it lead us to effective action. 


I could not agree more with &#039;rubber stamp&#039; because the tactics and strategies he is proposing are the exact same ones the leftist engineers have used for decades, with relatively little resistance, frankly. So I think, while this is all well and good to talk about, we all know what happens when good men do nothing. Action, my friends. Action.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the reply, and the truth which lies within it.  I believe ... wholeheartedly ... that the main reason I rose in academia was because I am one-half Comanche.  That made me a &quot;minority&quot;.  I never wanted minority status, and though I look &quot;white&quot;, at first glance, after a while, you can see the characteristic traits of native Americans, in my face.

I remember taking Speech, as an undergraduate.  While handing out assignments for our persuasive speech, I was assigned to speak against nuclear weapons.  I knew what the instructor wanted to hear, and so I said it ... something like this:

&quot;I will not be a part of a system that crucifies humanity on a nuclear cross.  &lt;b&gt;I will NOT!&quot;&lt;/b&gt;  ... long pause, then I look up and say, &quot;What about you?&quot;

The whole class came out of their seats in applause.  Afterwards, one of my friends who knew me better said, &quot;Hypocrite.&quot;  He was right, of course.  But I got that &quot;A&quot;!

I liked the last paragraph in your comment, and will remember it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#039;re not a laywer are you? You don&#039;t even understand how such a lawsuit would come about, and like the typical ignorant leftist, you frame questions in order to mislead.
So it does no damage to state university students that they&#039;re learning politically biased history? Hmmm, that&#039;s an interesting statement, especially coming from you, frodo. Anyway, do you think that courts of law in this country acknowledge no remedies for injuries to plaintiffs other than pecuniary damages? Do you know what an injunction is? Do you know what a subcommittee is? Have you ever heard of the ACLJ?  Not only do state courts have the legal and constitutional authority to adjudicate matters involving public education and instruction, state legislatures have authority to order public schools and universities to teach a balanced view of history, that is to say, one that doesn&#039;t present an entirely &quot;progressive&quot; (read: leftist) view of history. I could give you a list of books in US history that almost everyone could agree would provide students with a balanced view of US history. I can also testify from personal knowledge and experience that the typical U.S. history course in a state university today is FAR from anything even remotely balanced. Need I remind you that Howard Zinn got rich hawking his fictional stories as objective history, notwithstanding the reviews by some of the most respected American historians, including liberals like Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. and dozens of others. Harvard history professor Oscar Handlin, who in a scorching review of Zinn&#039;s best selling book, A People&#039;s History of the United States, called it among other disparaging names &quot; a fairy tale,&quot; containing NO primary sources, but replete with extremely questionable secondary sources. In short, the most respected historians in this country said that book was a LIE, one long, hideous, outrageous, LIE followed by another. NO, Handlin did NOT agree with you that Zinn&#039;s book was simply a collection of new &quot;perspectives.&quot; Handlin said that Zinn&#039;s books were filled with LIES from beginning to end. and that bast[a]rd, Zinn made millions from sales to public schools. Thus at least two generations of American students learned to hate their country and its foundations. But YOU, you nitwit, you fool, you dolt, no, you see NO injury to American school children or college history students from stinking, lying scumbags and communists like Zinn. But go ahead, convince yourself that &quot;progressives&quot; all agree with you. You will go right on believing that neither courts nor legislatures can address the issue of LIES and anti-Americanism in the teaching of US history because it&#039;s like, &quot;just ... like ... another perspective, .... man.&quot; Go back to your ganja stash and fire up another doober. Maybe you can convince yourself it&#039;s 1968 again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Liberals often believe that they&#039;re acting in the name of &quot;the greater good,&quot; and their beliefs in this regard are often &quot;bona fide.&quot; That said, what they regard as &quot;the greater good,&quot; is often that which is merely good for them in terms of keeping and expanding their own political power. In any case, it&#039;s easy for liberal politicians: they can and do promise to deliver all the goodies which makes it easy for them to get votes in return. Conservatives end up being the ones who are made to look like stingy old guys who are merely protecting their own stash. Obama, however, is not a liberal. He does what he does, and he advocates what he advocates not just to garner votes--although he does--he is destroying free enterprise in America. He sees the dismantling of free enterprise as &quot;good,&quot; which is how he justifies the lies he tells, i.e., that he&#039;s not really a Marxist. He well knows that he&#039;s a Marxist. It&#039;s just that he thinks Marx was right. One matter that many whites have never really understood about black Americans is that blacks have always believed in what might be called an urban myth. The myth, in a nutshell, is that &#039;whitey&#039; has all the money, and that &#039;whitey&#039; has so much money that if he were forced to share it with blacks, there would be wealth enough for all.

In any case, it&#8217;s easy for liberal politicians: they can and do promise to deliver all the goodies which makes it easy for them to get votes in return. Conservatives end up being the ones who are made to look like stingy old guys who are merely protecting their own stash. Obama, however, is not a liberal. He does what he does, and he advocates what he advocates not just to garner votes&#8211;although he does&#8211;he is destroying free enterprise in America. He sees the dismantling of free enterprise as &#8220;good,&#8221; which is how he justifies the lies he tells, i.e., that he&#8217;s not really a Marxist. He well knows that he&#8217;s a Marxist. It&#8217;s just that he thinks Marx was right. One matter that many whites have never really understood about black Americans is that blacks have always believed in what might be called an urban myth. The myth, in a nutshell, is that &#8216;whitey&#8217; has all the money, and that &#8216;whitey&#8217; has so much money that if he were forced to share it with blacks, there would be wealth enough for all. If I had the time, I&#8217;d cite a few historians to back up my theory.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I hear your criticism.  They would probably view some of the others as equally polemical; Bernard Lewis for example is scorned by the left.  Friedman will likely be on the next syllabus.  Levin may be a &quot;poor choice&quot; in your eyes, but I felt that two of his chapters spoke directly to what was in the textbook.  It was an appropriate match in terms of content, irrespective of his &quot;polemical&quot; stature.]]></description>
