On several occasions, I have written about the mind numbing propaganda campaign that is part and parcel of American education. We have seen several examples recently in high schools throughout the country. Liberal teachers preaching their left-wing mantra as if it is part of the curriculum, and unfortunately, it has become the curriculum.Â
The indoctrination does not end with k-12 though, as we have seen by way of the extremist teachings and rantings of college and university instructors. Two recent stories have made the news, and the latest points out the growing crisis at all levels of learning.Â
Kevin Barrett, a part time faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus announced publicly his belief that the Bush administration was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks. His contention was that the President orchestrated the devastating events to justify war in the Middle East. Despite the fact that there is not one scintilla of evidence that any of the instructor’s allegations are true, he will be allowed to spew his venom onto the minds of impressionable college students with a green light from the university.Â
Those in academia make up one of the largest contingents of far left-wing thought in our country. They go about their campaign of extremist views and teachings unimpeded and unimpinged by the acquiescing administrations at most colleges and universities nationwide.Â
While a right-wing viewpoint would be labeled racist, homophobic, extremist, intolerant or unacceptable by the same administrations, an extreme left-wing view is given the blessing and support by the same like-minded hypocrites. Freedom of speech is their justification and shield.Â
Do tax-supported public universities really have the right to operate as propaganda camps for extremist teachings? Did we not shut down several non-profit organizations, after 9/11, which operated as fronts for terrorist organizations? Is there a difference?Â
Libertarians believe that we are free to do or say anything we want in this country. That includes the unimpeded use of controlled substances, despite their tendency to cause you to lose rational thought, and regardless of the danger it imposes to society when you are in a delusional state. (read society as: innocent people). Liberals believe we are free to say or do anything we want, as long as it does not offend them. Â
These viewpoints cumulatively agree that anything goes, as long as the intended victim is conservative, republican or Christian. The viewpoint further espouses the notion that bigotry and hate speech should be squashed, unless they are directed towards the aforementioned groups.Â
Then there’s Ward Churchill, the left-over ’60’s radical hippie, teaching at the University of Colorado who has reached cult status with the left. If someone can exceed at being counter-culture and popular culture at the same time, this guy is it. Churchill argues that it isn’t the American-hating terrorists who are responsible for the 9/11 devastation, but the U.S. itself, and even the victims of that horrific day! He thinks it needs to happen again.Â
What has become of this leftist extremist who is filling college student’s heads with anti-American, pro-terrorist rantings……………in late June there was a decision to dismiss him from his job as a full professor at UC-Boulder. Today, he remains part of the faculty, as a full tenured professor, masters degree and all. This is higher education today folks; how left can you go, the more the better. Reminds me of teenagers in long black trench coats on a hot, sunny day.Â
Is matriculation just indoctrination in the year 2006? Looks a lot like that’s the case. Churchill will retire a full professor, as will his cohort, Kevin Barrett. Take my word for it………both universities will put on a song and dance, but in the end, extremism rues the day. If they have to change institutions, they will still go on teaching the same delusional hypothesis’ as if they are fact. Sounds a lot like the main stream media.
