The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

I wonder whether Martin Luther King Jr. would join me in flinging poo at this lady? On second thought....he can take care of the rhetorical destruction of this disgusting racist, and I'll do the actual poo-flinging.



I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Yep. But for years, since the '80's, I have heard that only whites are racists because other groups are just "reacting" to oppression. It's just that they are louder and have the unswaying support of social media and the MFM.

But what I find strange is that most, say 95% of the non-caucasions I have encountered have been lovely, kind and engaging. I have actually had more negative reaction from liberal whites. Things that make you go, hmmmm.

Don't get me wrong, she should face consequences for this.

But I think the offense is the reverse of what is perceived. She naturally wants to give the remedial students special attention. The ones who need the most help.

The ones who won't ask hard questions and make her look like an ignorant ass.

But the way she generalizes that along racial/gender lines is definitely offensive.

114 China does come to the plane if he flies west ... but it takes a lot of fuel to "stop" the plane because the atmosphere/wind keeps blowing against it.

To really "stop the plane" it would have to go at about 1000 mph relative tot he ground. Of course he is still not "stopped" ... orbiting the sun, accelerating expansion of the universe, and all that.

But is that translation real? Does he think Mecca is the center of the universe?

Hillsdale is one. They also have a number of free online classes that are pretty good. Your son might enjoy checking a few of those out.

144 I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

========

Skin color is a collective characteristic. Character is an individual characteristic.

The problem is that things like AA/quotas which are codified in law encourage people to think of "justice" in collective terms instead of individual terms, even though only individuals can be wronged.

This allows people like Wilson to think she has been wronged by Kelly or Trump, even before she started shit stirring. It puts a chip on her shoulder and makes her think she has the right to slander and hate people she has never even met.

AA/quotas should be ended not only because they are unfair, but because they encourage delusional, violent, paranoid thinking among feeble minded people like Wilson, or Trigglypuff.

This is what Obama wrought with his open borders/all unaccompanied minors policy.

Step 1: Tell parents in foreign countries that if they send just their kids, they can be used to help the whole family eventually immigrate legally via chain migration.

Step 2: Parents send kids across borders with coyotes/cartels, who rape and abuse them

Step 3: Organizations who care for unaccompanied minors (including many Christian charities) are then responsible for providing the kids reproductive care, including abortions.

Posted by: Tami Picard at October 23, 2017 12:20 PM (Enq6K)



CCs typically focus on teaching, and some of my best teachers were at CC. Four year institutions focus on prestige, and teaching is typically the lowest priority/ROI, and so such tasks put upon the post-docs and grad students.


This was most evident to me in the transition from pre-engineering physics and chemistry at the CC to four year classes. OMG, the four year pre-req classes were horrid.


Plus, you can save a lot of money getting the exact same thing, piece of paper, which nobody really cares about (except as a negative example) once you start employment.


And in the end, the best indicator of the quality of the education is the student themselves.

BYU is worth considering. Sure it's 97% LDS, but it's a great school, not very expensive, and certainly not a leftist indoctrination pit.

Their 2017-2018 undergrad estimate for a full year including tuition, room and board, books, transportation and personal expenses for non-LDS students is $23,890.

Compare that with your local hard-left indoctrination center. It's probably less than a single semester of tuition alone.

When we ran #s four years ago for my youngest, it was actually less expensive to go to the smaller private than the local CC.

284 "Four year institutions focus on prestige, and teaching is typically the lowest priority/ROI, and so such tasks put upon the post-docs and grad students. "

Typically, yes. My alma mater (Bradley University, electrical engineering) had a teaching focus. Grad students graded papers and assisted a professor in labs -- I had classes taught by founders of the department, one by the head of the department, and one by the dean of engineering.

One prof found out we were gathering in the library to work on homework -- he started showing up to help us. He's now head of the department, and the former head of the department is the assistant dean.

287 So last week there was some debate about some fliers for the Virginia election conspicuously missing the Dem Lt Gov candidate, Justin Fairfax.

Happens that Fairfax is black. So racist.

Turns out this wasn't just some targeted flier or an oversight or anything. Gun control groups have given Ralph Northam (Gov candidate) $400k, and Mark Herring (asshole incumbent for AG) $300K. They gave Fairfax....nothing.

So looks like the Dems are giving Fairfax the Cuccinelli treatment.

There is simply no reason to pay four year rates (housing, etc.) for the first two years, unless you want the party atmosphere or unless you are truly gifted and need a particular school's specialty to help develop it, such as an MIT, an art school, etc., or is renowned for its particular (pre-selected specialty) programs, like an Ag or mining school.

I think he doesn't even want to tell them he might be going to the CC. We've had long conversations about debt and the value or trade school. It's just not penetrating. What can i say.

Good to know about Bradley for EE. Obviously, there will be exceptions.

We had some very good undergrad and post-grad level teaching Professors, and I took all my electives from them, because after taking a logic class from an AA post doc, in which I had to correct her errors in logic, there was no way I was going to take an introductory X for idiots class, when I was the one paying for it.

I got my money's worth and then some.

Based on the totally truthful telling by the widow and the congressbitch, the call went like this:

"hello...pls hold for the president."

"This is the president Donald Trump, many people say I am doing a great job, fabulous even. Not every one says that, some people are being very unfair, especially the fake news. Of course, I knew what I was signing up, there'd be fake news and people who were very scared that I'd drain the swamp....just like your husband what's his name knew what he was getting into.

Sorta.


You can argue that either way, but a lot of universities are onto that and now are setting up majors so certain pre-reqs and required courses are only offered every so often. This might work if you're a history major or something, but STEM studdents tend to need to be in a program from second semester freshman year on, otherwise you're looking at 5-6 years to graduated full time.

Virginia schools developed a program saying that you could get acceptance to UVA/Tech etc if you went to a CC for two years and did well. They didn't bother to say that theyn it would still take you 3-4 years to fulfill your major requirements at the name university.

324 To further build my boys' immune system against Marxist indoctrination I took my 15 year old to an Appleseed course this weekend.

For those who don't know it its a program run by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association the provides excellent rifle training, mixed with some Revolutionary War history (emphasis on the 2nd Amendment of course and the role of marksmanship in the Revolution, and in the American tradition).

Obviously it all works together: your own example, your family's values, activities you engage in with your kids, and the schools. But so far so good. Two boys, 13 and 15 going to school in a "good" but liberal suburban school district. Both are notably conservative (watch Ben Shapiro vids etc) and have at least some friends associated with other conservative families.

No guarantees of course but my hope is that by the time both kids get to college they will have a deeply enough ingrained set of values to fend off this sort of crap. That, and we are seriously screening schools for culture (e.g. Dartmouth would be great, no thank you NYU)
