#1 Is it just me, or the Western educational system went astray in some stage, and we just now noticing?

#2 We’ve been concerned for a while, Grom. It’s a topic that goes back to the early days, here at Rantburg.

#3 ^Just a WAG on my part, but could it have anything to do with: (a) Affirmative action; and (b) the fact that Leftism is an acceptable alternative (due to affirmative action) to professional competence?

#4 There it is again.

government and institutions bending over backwards and passing special laws and regulations and wtaking away our ability our ability to talk to one another openly and honestly. And for whose benefit? It sure as hell ain't for ours.

First Amendment, motherfuckers. We'll say whatever we goddamned well please. And if you don't like that, you can go pound sand.

Ann Arbor are obviously idiots,for fuck's sake. But you know what? Freedom of speech includes the ability to say whatever you like, even if it's wrong. And it includes the freedom to make a complete ass of yourself in public like Ann Arbor is doing. I can't believe I'm saying this, but 100% support to those fuckfaces in Ann Arbor. Because you know what? They're fuckfaces, but they are AMERICAN fuckfaces. And you NEVER FUCKING FORGET THAT!

He was raised in Los Angeles, attended Stanford University for his first degree, and then took his graduate degrees at the University of California at Berkeley." (Get the picture?)

Since we know the N.E.A. runs & controls many schools curriculum's in democrat areas.

So one might correctly assume, there is an N.E.A. political association with Hamas?

Which then calls into question the OBAMA, Biden, and the demo-rats support of the N.E.A., its perverse agenda and generally seen anti-semantic positions.

#7 Isit just me, or the Western educational system went astray in some stage, and we just now noticing?

It became rampant after November 1989 when the wall came down. Instead of going after the Marxists and communist agents, allies, and simps with vigor and payback, we let them continue to infest our institutions. It's like a cancer. It certainly wasn't benign.

#8 First Amendment

Guess what, its not absolute.
Threaten bodily harm to someone and its Assault, Battery is the consummation of that threat.
Libel someone other than Donald Trump and find out how expensive can be.
Call upon the overthrow of the government and unless you succeed, its sedition.

Now if you are an absolutist, I recommend going into the hood and address some homies with a long tirade with lots of 'N' words. Good luck.
