of course they are scum. "academic freedom" is only a liberal freedom, not a conservative

freedom.

 

and free speech is only free when THEY use it.

 

and Constitutional law only applies when THEY want it to.

1) What is AP Gov AND Econ? How are both one year? That's weird.

 

2) You see nothing off with a former Republican office candidate giving students a mostly conservative summer reading list? You know how much you'd be flipping shit if this was reversed?

 

3) The parents weren't sure if the books met a 12th grade reading level. Ha

1. don't know, isn't relevant to the story at hand.

 

2. I wouldn't be flipping at all - I went to Kent State, I was well used to liberal asswipe instructors

using their academic freedom to bash our country, have a lefty reading list, and dump bad grades

on conservatives, one of them, me. I went to the dean, with the grade gone on the copy, and talked to him.

He read it overnight, and said even if he was trying to screw with my grade, he couldn't give it less than

a B+. The original grade was a D-. The instructor was a diehard socialist/anti-war protest activist asswhole.

 

That means, I KNOW what I am talking about, and you do not.

 

3. any leftwing excuse, no matter how emotionally unstable or stupid... is their chosen excuse.

1) My own observation

 

2) Yes, I'm sure that did happen to have exactly as you described. I see no reason why you'd embellish anything.

 

If a liberal teacher provided mostly liberal books for their students required meeting, would you be mad? We have years and thousands of posts that say that yes, you obviously would be.

 

3) Or they didn't meet the required reading level

You're just completely avoiding the question Cal. It's clear your fine with your group doing it, but not the other. And you're hiding behind some "academic freedom" nonsense to justify it.

 

 

This clearly seems to be a teacher pushing their politics on students. The type of thing, of even remotely true, you post hundreds of threads on if it's a liberal teacher.

 

Now it's a conservative and you're going on about academic freedom...

 

 

 

 

This is clear to anyone who's head isn't up their political party's ass

there you go, ascribing false narratives to me. It isn't about me, woodpecker. Stop your crap.

 

I just explained that I read liberal lists of books here and there, the books were stupid, I had no problem

with it.

 

I did have a problem with false low grading because I was conservative, while the leftist commie asswhole prof

didn't like my paper, that was clearly conservative. HE gave the issue, we could pick either side of the issue.

So, I did. PRO effectiveness of the anti-war movement... or CON - the lack of effectiveness of the same.

I chose the latter. Little twinkletoes snowflake commie prof pouted a lot, and lowered my grade accordingly...

that was an emotional knee jerk - he must have broken his kneecap on his nose.

and, my point was made solidly by the DEAN of the entire dept giving me an "A", and who said he could

not give me lower than a b+ if he were a lefty prof.

 

Another lefty prof was freshman English 3. In that quarter, our assignment was to read 64 books on his "classics" list.

I read really at a high level, always did....had fun with it. "Great Gatsby" whatever. some of his books were way left,

none conservative....and every freaking single time, he had his own personal narratives on the "hidden meanings" behind

'each book As in, leftwing anti-capitalist/anti-America blah blah boring crapola.

 

And, he would go around class, and ask students what they thought the "hidden meaning" was, and if it wasn't what

he wanted the answer to be, the frail, bedroom slipper/jammie bottoms,tshirt with tweed jacket/goatee/wire rim glasses

freak said something mildly derogatory about the students intelligence.

 

Hahaha. I played part of his game. I invented hidden meanings that were conservative, and most of the class

applauded. He didn't like that, but just puffed on his pipe quicker (actually was smoking - smoke smelled like

rotten black walnut husks) and moved on.

 

I got a "B" in the class. Not bad for challenging him in a fun way with all that nonsense. I mean, every "classic" got some kind

of a leftist "hidden meaning" from him. "man's inhumanity in a capitalist micro-world"... "the oppression of freedom in the U.S."

blah blah nonsense blah. I was lucky he didn't give me a "D"... LOL

 

so, again, I KNOW what I'm talking about when I bring up academic freedom. Fine by me, but with liberal/leftist asswipes,

academic freedom goes out the window when they don't like it. that is the point you molt around, woodpecker.

 

Come to think of it - there was this one gay frail him/her/whatever student in our class - God help ya if you sat next to it.

he/she apparently rarely took a shower and agreed with the tweed jacket/rotten black walnut husk prof like as in a

stupid teen robot movie. The goal for most of us, is to never sit next to..it. There were two empty seats in the class, and

they were always around ...that student.

And to our credit, not one time did any of us ever talk to...it and say anything about the stench. blue streaked hair,

black fingernail polish, ... I think it lived in a culvert somewhere. Had a big nose, one of the other guys privately referred

to...it as a pelican. So, woodpecker, you should be happy to know that you aren't the only birdbrain around. There ARE

others. But you have your own place now, and I'm sure you don't live in stink, so there's that goin for ya.

I can't imagine what a liberal reading assignment would be.

THE LEGEND OF THE WOODPECKER C. S. B. Adapted from Phœbe Cary's poem.

THERE was once a little old woman who lived all alone at the top of a hill. She was the tiniest, neatest little old woman you ever saw, and she always wore a shiny black dress, and a gay little red bonnet on her head, and a big white apron with a floppy white bow tied behind.

But because she lived alone, and thought of no one but herself, this little old woman had grown very selfish. She never invited any one to drink a cup of tea with her, and she never gave presents to anybody.

One day, when the little old woman was baking round cakes with plums in them, a tired, hungry man came up the hill and rapped at her door.

"May I have a cake?" he asked. "I am hungry, and I have no money to pay you, but whatever you wish for, that shall you have."

The little old woman looked at her cakes, and she decided that they were too large and plump to give away. So she broke off a wee little bit of dough, and [178] put it in the oven to bake. It puffed and swelled; and when it was done she decided that this cake, also, was too nice and brown for the hungry man. She broke off a tinier bit of dough, and then one smaller still, but each came out of the oven as fat and brown a cake as the first, and she set them all on a high cupboard shelf, because she thought they were too good to be given away. Then, at last, she took a bit of dough as wee as the head of a pin, and put it in the oven to bake, but this, too, came out a fine, large, crisp cake; so the old woman hid it in the cupboard with the others, and brought out a dry crust of bread for the hungry man.

The poor man just looked at the crust, and then he was gone, before you could wink your eye. But the little old woman began to feel sorry to think how unkind and selfish she had been.

"I wish I were a bird!" she said. "Then I could fly to that hungry man with the largest cake on the shelf."

And, all at once, the little old woman began to grow smaller and smaller. Her nose changed to a beak, her arms stretched out until they were wings, and her feet became claws. She was really the bird she had wished to be, and the wind whisked her up the chimney and over the hill to the woods.

If you look, you may see her to-day. She still wears her shiny black dress, her white apron, and the gay little red bonnet upon her head; but all day long she must run up and down the trunks of the trees, pecking her food from the hard bark. Listen, and you will hear her tap, tap, tapping away; the selfish little old woman who was changed to the red-headed woodpecker.

Yes Woodley, I would have a problem if summer reading assignments contained only liberal reading, and have no problem with this prof assigning conservative reading only.

 

Do not students get enough liberal indoctrination the rest of the year?

 

A quote from Professor Jonathan Haidt, a lifelong academic, and liberal, never exposed to Conservatism.

 

But it wasn’t until I was about 40 that I happened to pull a book off a shelf that said conservatism on it that I was ever exposed to conservative ideas. And I’m well educated. And I had never encountered conservative ideas. So, there’s a real asymmetry in access to the other side’s ideas.

The little freak probably has me ignore, so if someone could relay this info.

Indoctrination is indoctrination. I wouldn't want my kid getting dumped on with a teacher's political ideology, no matter their politics.

How you can defend a conservative for doing something you've roasted a liberal for doing, and not even realize your own bias, is amazing to me.

 

I know I shouldn't be surprised by your complete lack of self awareness anymore, and yet, here we are.

but there hasn't been an article where a prof had a liberal reading list, and was denied

to use it.

 

you aren't a victim here, either. your false allegations aren't getting you anywhere

except into some lofty dreamland in your own emotionally warped bird brain.

well, you show me where I defined it in this thread, or any thread, ever?. Go ahead, the entire board will wait, woodpecker knee jerk.

no, your woodpecker appraisals are not definitions. You don't get to scramble definitions of words and

get away with it around here. Most of us are smarter than that.
