Teach your children well...

 

 

 

"Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked, the one you'll know by"

Teach Your Children
CSN+Y

Those who have spent gobs of money sending their young, hungry minded kids off to get a quality education, here is a news flash - you might be getting ripped off. For some reason, our institutes of higher learning have turned into bastions of left leaning, latter day hippies. They are free to expound upon any topic, no matter the class subject, and our kids are forced to listen to, take notes, and be tested on this garbage.

Before I go into some of the bad actors who are teaching our kids, let us first address the cost of higher education. This is from the College Board website: A "moderate" college budget for an in-state public college for the 2012–2013 academic year averaged $22,261 (over $88,000 for a four year degree). A moderate budget at a private college averaged $43,289 (over $175,000 for a four year degree). And that does not include books. College books these days, which are also written by the same "Commies" that teach the subject, can cost hundreds of dollars each! When is the last time any of us bought a book for even a fraction of that much?

First we have Kathy Boudien. Do you want to send your kid to Columbia and spend a boatload of money? This former Weather Underground murderer, is now out of prison and is an adjunct professor at Columbia. Not only did she take part in the robbery of an armored car, she was involved in the killing of two cops and a Brinks guard. In most states, you kill a cop, you are locked up for life. In some states, you will fry in the chair. How she only did 22 years is beyond me. So she gets out, wins some award from the Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School, and next week will be featured in Robert Redford's new pinko film called The Company You Keep. To say the least, the families of the victims are beyond outraged.

What ever happened to the person that founded the Weather Underground? You know, that Bill Ayers guy. That close personal friend and former neighbor of President Obama. A little background about our all American boy, Professor Ayers. He was involved in a bomb making operation which killed two of his contemporaries, and then participated in the bombings of the NYC police HQ, the United States Capitol and then the Pentagon. Fortunately, nobody was killed in these blasts, but the damage was in the tens of thousands of dollars (quite a bit for the early 1970's). His punishment? A slap on the hand and working at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Education as a Distinguished Professor. Oh, just to think how many of our teachers learned under this radical. Then those teachers went on to educate our youth.

Who can forget Ward Churchill? This is someone we all want teaching our kids. Although not a criminal like Ayers and Boudien, they garbage that come out of his mouth when teaching at the University of Colorado at Boulder was nothing short of outrageous. He was a professor of ethnic studies and focused on the treatment of Native Americans by the United States government. In 2001, we wrote an essay called On the Justice of Roosting Chickens. In that essay, he basically blamed the 9/11 attacks on - - us. He referred to the people who died in the World Trade Center as the "technocratic corps" made up of "little Eichmanns". That was even too much for Colorado and they canned him. By this time the damage had been done - many thousands of students had to listen to the crap that came out of him mouth.

My advice is before you send you innocent kids to any college or university, do some homework. Looks into the classes which are required, and which ones are electives your kids might take. None of us would buy a car we knew could be a lemon. We should look at colleges the same way. As long as we keep paying for the product being taught to our kids, the longer they will keep teaching it.
