UCLA Students Urged to Expose 'Radical' Professors
rts008 writes to tell us Reuters is reporting that a conservative alumni group is working hard to expose 'radical professors'. The group is a creation of 2003 UCLA graduate, Andrew Jones, who stated that he runs the organization on his own with $22,000 in private donations. From the article: "Jones told Reuters he is out to 'restore an atmosphere of respectful political discourse on campus' and says his efforts are aimed at academics who proselytize students from either side of the ideological spectrum, conservative or liberal. 'We are concerned solely with indoctrination, one-sided presentation of ideological controversies and unprofessional classroom behavior,' Jones said on his Web site." The tactics used by Jones and his group are raising quite a few questions, however, offering to pay students for recordings or teaching materials that could provide 'evidence' against professors in question.
Because this one is nothing but flamebait.
But don't worry. I'm sure some Democrat somewhere at some point did something similar, which justifies, of course, anything.
Having said that this, at least, is hopeful:
Good for you, Rep. Rogan.
And, when you look at it, compared to Stalin, Hitler was an amateur with his paltry 6 million people killed in death camps. Stalin killed 10 million MORE, and despite that, he emerged as a "benefactor of mankind" (he would have, if those 16 million killed were spammers and telemarketers).
Does it surprises you? Conservatives and right-wingers aren't especially noted for broad intelligence nor education. Quite nothing compared to the right-wing brain-washing that occurs every sunday in a church near to you.No. Republicans and Democrats stand for the status quo. Look who makes up the American government: it's mainly Democrats and Republicans! And like we've established, Democratism are a separate political ideology from liberalism, and Republicanism is a separate political ideology from conservatism.
Indeed, there are political groups who follow such ideals. They're the true conservatives in America. Yet they often are not represented in government because they hold those ideas.
In order to become seriously represented in the government they would have to basically follow Republicanism, rather than conservatism. Thus within the confines of the current system, they couldn't become part of the government as conservatives; they most likely have to become Republicans. And when they become Republicans, they are no longer conservatives.
Cyric Zndovzny at your service.
1) McCarthy was right - he did find a lot of communists, and
2) What the hell is wrong with collecting documents and recordings of things that the profs themselves said? It's not like they're making anything up here - they're just bringing them to light. As someone else has already said, a lot of the radical tenured professors are left of Josef Stalin in outlook.
Disclaimer: IANAL. This post is, however, legal advice, and creates an attorney-client relationship.
Why do you push unaccepted definitions? Use a dictionary.
A lot of people engage in suppression of ideas, not just right-wingers and for your information ID IS a science. The fact that you parrot what is told to you about ID belies your own laziness and ignorance in understanding what it actually is. The state US education is grim indeed when it produces parrots like you.
Some of us worry about your religious beliefs effecting your children as well. Not to say that anyone would ever legislate against parents raising their children in their own religion, yet it seems to me that by forestalling any choice in the matter whilst they are in their formative years is an ethical dilemma of some import. Perhaps no one under 21 should be allowed in churches since no one under 21 is allowed in my churches (strip clubs and bars).
An Education is the Font of All Liberty
Ward Churchill is NOT a nutjob professor. His writing and teaching is widely respected.
But perhaps his methods are...unsound.
May the Maths Be with you!
UCLA faculty - make money now by turning yourselves in if you or a colleague exhibit any of these radical ideas.
.. paranoid crackpot leftover from the days of Amiga.
Gotta love it when you are attacked for speaking your mind. Did we just teleport back to the 50's or what?
---- Booth was a patriot ----
You have confused "republic" with "democracy". Two different things.
So when a private groups resorts of fascism, and they support the republican-style government, then it is a case of fascism.
This doesn't make any sense at all. What are you trying to say?
