Cultural Marxism

It's the educators that have created the problem. From K - college. Female educators.

‘What makes older women particularly dangerous is that they have experience combined with a backlog of rage sufficient to slash and burn a man’s entire life to the ground, and the frequency and severity of payback meted out by angry women rises with time and notches on the headboard. Most are jaded party girls or bitter divorcées with a lifetime’s worth of transacting sex for attention and increasingly coming up short-changed. They begin to confuse bullying with being strong; caustic insults with wit; narcissism with self-esteem, fascist policing of others’ behaviour with being a good citizen and the current classic, blaming Straight Western Anglo-Saxon Males for everything they don’t like.’

 

bouys i found the vid with the (retarded) college cnuts as un regulated.... as for a motion was not named........BUT i must rape and pillage for i am Swedish. Good luck Europe # Viking-Arab alliance # sarcasm....#idgf.....you cant change the world though.......#swellinfo.

 

yank, honestly feminism has destoyed western society...trust me i live with the repercussions.

 

Yeah all good points, what college grad would want to fry food for you? But for real jobs a degree from a good major is still the way to go. All the neighbors on my street that are high school grads are struggling with 30k per year jobs. Those with degrees are thriving. I love when the high school grad neighbor says"you are going on another trip???" Yeah dude I am.

 

Stop bothering clown with facts. We all know education is a big waste.....

 

I love it. be lazy, complain, wait for handouts college kids! While your sitting around pulling tubes my kid will be getting the job you were too lazy to look for. thanks for being ****ing morons!

I am so freaking sick of these whiny chitbags.

 

This is what is commonly known as a "humblebrag".

 

Why are you asking me when you already know how I feel? What kind of response are you looking for?

Yeah dude I feel ya. There's another reputable school near Evergreen that's quite a bit more conservative, but it's mostly Catholic. Just won't work for any of us. These are the closest accredited schools, an hour's drive east.

This is my kid's third college, not counting his early college high school where he received his AA. He's seen every end of the spectrum, politically. Trust me on this.

So he picked Evergreen. And he has my support, emotionally and financially. It wouldn't be prudent to send him to a school that he doesn't like, and ultimately ends up bailing out...costing me more $$$ in the process.

He's a smart kid, I trust him to make smart choices and learn from mistakes. Because we learn nothing from never having failed.

 

right on KR, I feel you

 

Yeah, I understand. He doesn't think like me, you or much anyone else for that matter. He's his own person, and I respect that. I think he sees the dark side of the conservatives, and I'm sure that he sees the actions that you outlined as ridiculous.

I don't try to force my belief system on him...I only hope that he'll watch, learn and understand and choose his own correct path. Lord knows, I don't believe that a single person here exists that ever wanted to be *exactly* like his "old man".

But yes, to confirm your suspicions, what happened at Evergreen is just another example of what is socially wrong in our country right now. TBH, it reminds me a lot of the 1960's. The parallels are too strong to ignore.

Our country will get through this, as it has before. Most of the young rebels will grow up to be mature, responsible adults with respectable jobs while a handful will live out their lives as if they were still in the 60's, so to speak.

That's the Way of the World

 

Nice I didn't think you had it in you. I love how women always claim highground to push any agenda.

 

College is still useful if you get a certificate like nursing or something like accounting or law. I call them white collar trades. Business degrees aren't a guarantee. The problem is alot of kids get stupid degrees, then complain because they were sold a pile of krap

Trust me I don't want to live in a world without doctors.

Psychologists can kick rocks though, that science has been to destructive ( from electro therapy to chemical therapy that kills )

College subsidies produce non-marketable majors and that is what communism is when related to all markets. Even Jesus knew that!

^that last statement is for you fungus

 

And you wonder why Trump got elected??? Because of elitist statements like this from the all knowing liberal left. I didn't go to college and I make 6 figures. My neighbor is a union fitter. Barely finished high school. He makes more than me. Union benefits. I've traveled all around the world for surfing and non surfing. So think before you say stupid sh1t.

 

Worthy of a mic drop!

 

+1........the HS grads auto mechanics who work on my service van fleet make $125k per year working 40 hrs week.

And, for the arrogant young fungal (he does say so much stoopid shiiite), this:

'Smith also reconfirms to us that there are only three kinds of assets that have intrinsic value in difficult times….. productive assets that have a daily need, think toothpaste or a razor…. alternative stores of value that encompass everything from eggs to gold….. lastly the knowledge and experience in your head that is needed by society, think shoemaker or locksmith, or auto body repair.'

 

The Campus Mob Came for Me—and You, Professor, Could Be Next
Whites were asked to leave for a ‘Day of Absence.’ I objected. Then 50 yelling students crashed my class.

Olympia, Wash.

I was not expecting to hold my biology class in a public park last week. But then the chief of our college police department told me she could not protect me on campus. Protestors were searching cars for an unspecified individual—likely me—and her officers had been told to stand down, against her judgment, by the college president.

Racially charged, anarchic protests have engulfed Evergreen State College, a small, public liberal-arts institution where I have taught since 2003. In a widely disseminated video of the first recent protest on May 23, an angry mob of about 50 students disrupted my class, called me a racist, and demanded that I resign. My “racist” offense? I had challenged coercive segregation by race. Specifically, I had objected to a planned “Day of Absence” in which white people were asked to leave campus on April 12.

Day of Absence is a tradition at Evergreen. In previous years students and faculty of color organized a day on which they met off campus—a symbolic act based on the Douglas Turner Ward play in which all the black residents of a Southern town fail to show up one morning. This year, however, the formula was reversed. “White students, staff and faculty will be invited to leave the campus for the day’s activities,” the student newspaper reported, adding that the decision was reached after people of color “voiced concern over feeling as if they are unwelcome on campus, following the 2016 election.”

In March I objected in an email to all staff and faculty. “There is a huge difference between a group or coalition deciding to voluntarily absent themselves from a shared space in order to highlight their vital and under-appreciated roles . . . and a group or coalition encouraging another group to go away,” I wrote. “On a college campus, one’s right to speak—or to be—must never be based on skin color.”

My email was published by the student newspaper, and Day of Absence came and went almost without incident. The protest of my class emerged seemingly out of the blue more than a month later. Evergreen has slipped into madness. You don’t need the news to tell you that—the protesters’ own videos will do. But those clips reveal neither the path that led to this psychosis, nor the cautionary nature of the tale for other campuses.

 

Evergreen is arguably the most radical college in the country—and while it does lean far to the left in a political sense, it is the school’s pedagogical structure to which I refer. Rather than placing students in many separate classes, most of our curriculum is integrated into full-time programs that may run the entire academic year. This structure allows students and professors to come to know each other very well, such that Evergreen can deliver a deep, personally tailored education that would be impossible elsewhere. When it works well, it is unlike anything else. Last week’s breakdown of institutional order is far from an indictment of our founder’s wisdom.

Rather, the protests resulted from a tension that has existed throughout the entire American academy for decades: The button-down empirical and deductive fields, including all the hard sciences, have lived side by side with “critical theory,” postmodernism and its perception-based relatives. Since the creation in 1960s and ’70s of novel, justice-oriented fields, these incompatible worldviews have repelled one another. The faculty from these opposing perspectives, like blue and red voters, rarely mix in any context where reality might have to be discussed. For decades, the uneasy separation held, with the factions enduring an unhappy marriage for the good of the (college) kids.

Things began to change at Evergreen in 2015, when the school hired a new president, George Bridges. His vision as an administrator involved reducing professorial autonomy, increasing the size of his administration, and breaking apart Evergreen’s full-time programs. But the faculty, which plays a central role in the college’s governance, would never have agreed to these changes. So Mr. Bridges tampered with the delicate balance between the sciences and humanities by, in effect, arming the postmoderns.

The particular mechanism was arcane, but it involved an Equity Council established in 2016. The council advanced a plan that few seem to have read, even now—but that faculty were nonetheless told we must accept without discussion. It would shift the college “from a diversity agenda” to an “equity agenda” by, among other things, requiring an “equity justification” for every faculty hire.

The plan and the way it is being forced on the college are both deeply authoritarian, and the attempt to mandate equality of outcome is unwise in the extreme. Equality of outcome is a discredited concept, failing on both logical and historical grounds, as anyone knows who has studied the misery of the 20th century. It wouldn’t have withstood 20 minutes of reasoned discussion.

This presented traditional independent academic minds with a choice: Accept the plan and let the intellectual descendants of Critical Race Theory dictate the bounds of permissible thought to the sciences and the rest of the college, or insist on discussing the plan’s shortcomings and be branded as racists. Most of my colleagues chose the former, and the protesters are in the process of articulating the terms. I dissented and ended up teaching in the park.

+1 I didn't finish college and I'm doing alright myself. I don't want to list all the reasons why I'm doing alright, because it would seem like bragging.
