DUMB AND DUMBER (No. 18)
K-12 EDITION
HOLY COW, BATMAN!!! She’s a real MARXIST (i.e., the moral equivalent of a Hitlerian), and she’s running the largest school district in America. “UTLA President Confirms The Union’s Marxist Mission.”
In a stunningly revealing exposé in Los Angeles Magazine, United Teachers of Los Angeles president Cecily Myart-Cruz told the world what many of us already knew—that her primary concern is advancing her Marxist political agenda rather than educating children. . . .
UTLA ended its screed with a statement that typifies its obsession with class warfare. “As it stands, the only people guaranteed to benefit from the premature physical reopening of schools amidst a rapidly accelerating pandemic are billionaires and the politicians they’ve purchased.” . . .
Myart-Cruz doesn’t care about education, but rather prefers to build an army of angry and resentful children who are ready to serve the Marxist cause.
Don’t forget: Ms. Myart-Cruz wants, nay, demands, that she and her fellow teacher-revolutionaries be your child’s “second mother.”
IF YOU’RE STILL NOT COMFORTABLE SENDING YOUR KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL YET, YOU CAN ALWAYS JOIN THE HOTTEST TREND IN AMERICA AND HOMESCHOOL. “When It Comes to the Delta Variant, the Kids Are All Right: With few exceptions, parents should send their children back to the classroom—despite a COVID-19 surge.”
GOOD, BUT YOU’RE FOOLING YOURSELF IF YOU THINK THE PROBLEM IS GOING AWAY: “New York superintendent and CRT advocate ousted by school board, parents.”
AMERICA’S GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS SERVING AS AN ANTIFA RECRUITING PROGRAM: “Posters On Display In California High School Classroom Display ‘F*** The Police’ and ‘F*** Amerikkka’ Phrases.”
I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT THAT MONEY MIGHT BE BETTER SPENT ON GIVING KIDS SCHOLARSHIPS TO ATTEND A PRIVATE SCHOOL. “Anti-Critical Race Theory Organization Launches $500,000 Ad Campaign Criticizing Loudoun County School Board.”
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK: “One Of The Wealthiest School Districts In US Reallocates COVID-19 Relief Funds Toward ‘Equity’ Programs.”
One of the wealthiest school systems in the U.S. unveiled plans to reallocate COVID-19 relief money to promote “equity” programs and a “welcoming” and “culturally responsive” student learning environment, according to the district’s website.
Fairfax County Public Schools’ (FCPS) school board voted to approve the plan on Aug. 26, which said it would use $78.8 million, originally allocated for COVID-19 relief, to support efforts such as “equity professional development for school teams.”
FCPS was awarded $188.6 million from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) III Fund as part of the American Rescue Plan, which focused on “delivering direct relief to the American people, rescuing the American economy, and starting to beat the virus.”
The district’s plan says funding for schools will be allocated based on “size, poverty, English learners, special education, and achievement” to “directly support student social emotional needs.”
#JustWalkAway IS HAPPENING: “Archdiocese of Boston continues to see increased interest in enrollment, adds more than 1,300 new students.”
YOU WILL CONFORM: “Missouri Math Teacher Dismissed Following Private Conservative Facebook Posts.”
HIGHER ED EDITION
WELCOME TO COLLEGE: “Professor reported for allowing student to say transgender women aren’t women.”
SUE FOR FRAUD: This is what you get for $82,670 p/year at Brown U.: “Brown suspends in-person gatherings despite nearly 98% vaccination rate, no COVID outbreak.”
OH, BUT WAIT. It turns out Brown rules are not for the rulers: “Brown exempts its official functions from new indefinite COVID restrictions.”
CLOSE IT THEN—FOREVER! It’s not an unreasonable question to ask whether Harvard has done more good or more bad for America than, say, a two-year career college. At least the young men and women who graduate from two-year career colleges typically don’t take jobs for the purpose of ruling other people. “Campus paper editor: ‘Utterly immoral’ to keep Harvard open if one life will be lost.”
CLOWN SHOW!—MUHLENBERG COLLEGE EDITION: “Retroactive cancelation: College apologizes for operetta it staged 11 years ago, deletes old photos of it.”
BECAUSE THERE ARE SO FEW CONSERVATIVE PROFESSORS TO BEGIN WITH. Over the years, I have served as a formal or informal faculty advisor to Students for Liberty, Young Americans for Liberty, Young Americans for Freedom, Turning Point USA, an Ayn Rand Campus Club, and a Second Amendment Club: “Why so few conservative student clubs? Faculty are unwilling to sponsor them.”
THIS ARTICLE STARTS WELL ENOUGH BUT ENDS BADLY. “How to Cure Colleges’ Adjunct Addiction.” “A government-imposed salary floor for university teachers and ceiling for adjunct hires might sound outlandish, but there’s precedent for this type of government action.” No, this is not outlandish; it’s just stupid. Wage and price controls are always a stupid idea. Wage and prices controls don’t work and they have the added benefit of being immoral.
RACISM ALERT—Columbia Edition: “Columbia University Promotes ‘Students Exploring Whiteness’ Program So They Can ‘Critically Engage With Whiteness’.”
RACISM ALERT—Princeton edition: “Princeton freshmen forced to view video about university’s ‘systemic racism’.”
FALSE FLAG ALERT—Princeton edition: “Princeton ignores requests for noose investigation update.” Princeton really does seem like a cesspool of racism these days.
BECAUSE, YA KNOW, IT WORKS SO WELL: “Louisiana State University begins disenrolling students not compliant with vaccine rules.”
IT’S A RACKET, AND IT’S NOT JUST IN LAW JOURNALS: “Frye: Letter To The Yale Law Journal Forum.”
Christmas is right around the corner and you might want to treat yourself and . . .
or, you might want to . . .
for that very special person in your life!!!
