Once upon a time, a critical mass of Hollywood men had military experience. What we see now are men without chests longing to be men without penises.

K-12: Patterns of Deception
The Education Establishment lie when they say learning basic facts is not important and multiplication tables are not useful or necessary. K-12 education these days is a relentless war on facts and memorization. (Children, we are told, don’t need to know history as long as they can think historically. This sort of drivel started in the 1950s: “We don’t teach history; we teach children.”)
How one can think ‘historically’ without knowing history is something of a puzzle.

Profs propose using classrooms to counter Trump rhetoric
“These students and their allies look to us for support and assurances,” they write. “The academy can, and should, help our students…contest increased social inequality and exclusionary discourse toward immigrants that is now being amplified by the Trump Administration.”
Translation: We are not engaging in any education anymore. Straight political indoctrination is the order of the day.

Prof suggests using art classes to help kids ‘turn out queer’
In his efforts to fight against the “heteronormative realities” of most K-12 schools, Greteman argues that art teachers could impart a “queerer agenda” on students that might “actually help kids turn out queer” [emphasis in original].
Homosexuals are openly abusing children by recruiting them to the so-called ‘lifestyle’. This is pure evil. Why would you abuse children like this? Because you like to sodomize children. It’s well-known that homosexuals are also pedophiles. Just look at all the Catholic priest scandals.

Why Professors Are Writing Crap That Nobody Reads | Intellectual Takeout
All of this is very unfortunate. Ideally, the great academic minds of a society should be put to work for the sake of building up that society and addressing its problems. Instead, most Western academics today are using their intellectual capital to answer questions that nobody’s asking on pages that nobody’s reading.
Another reason your college degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on… or even the ink.

When I was offered “free” goodies by leftist candidates; when people told me they were entitled to others’ money or time; when parasites of various kinds reared their ugly bloated heads, I thought TAANSTAFL, because that’s the ultimate truth of the universe. There is never something for nothing.
Parasites. Appropriate.
I also read Heinlein as a kid. ‘Time Enough For Love’ was my favorite.
The Muslim Understanding of Reality and History
To Muslims, it’s quite simple: Allah created the world and everyone in it. Would it make any sense that there would be more than one religion in Allah’s creation? Allah would never allow that! Therefore, Adam was a Muslim, Abraham was a Muslim, David was a Muslim, and of course, Jesus was a Muslim. Because people had drifted away from Islam, Muhammad was sent to bring them back.

Los Angeles Says, “Goodbye, Columbus” | Ricochet
So, I wonder if Mr O’Farrell wants to celebrate these peoples and civilizations. Maybe, he just wants to celebrate native peoples in North America, like the Iroquois. Many Native American activists contend that the Iroquois and their Confederacy inspired our founders in the creation of our republic (although this is doubtful since the Iroquois, like the Inca, had no written language). Then again, Mr O’Farrell may not wish to celebrate the Iroquois, who were a militant and aggressive group, constantly making war against others. This was usually done in pursuit of wealth, such as the Beaver Wars, in which, among other things, the Iroquois decimated the Huron (also known as the Wyandotte — Mr. O’Farrell’s tribe) all just to gain control of the fur market.
Greek Life retreat cancelled after banana peel found in tree
After word of the banana spread throughout the retreat, leaders decided to end the event early. Arndt explained that she “felt it was imperative to provide space immediately to students affected by this incident.”
According to The DM, some students left the retreat in tears, with McNeil noting that they “didn’t feel welcome” and “didn’t feel safe.”
Seriously? Over a banana peel? We’re doomed!

State to homeschoolers: Watching eclipse not educational
“In the nearly hour-long home visit, the assistant director told Hope that the trip that her family took to observe the solar eclipse wouldn’t be counted as school time. The school official also belittled her ability to educate her children, stating that even as a professional educator he wasn’t qualified to teach his own children at home,” the report said.
This ‘school official’ is human excrement. I AM qualified to teach anyone anything I know. This includes home schooling my kids, or any kids, through high school. I am a high school graduate. If you aren’t qualified to teach what you know, then your high school diploma is worthless and you should sue your school district.
