it's amazing how dumb they are

here is the thing: look at english lit pre-shakes and you see beauty, look at it after shakes and you see brilliance. shakes did so much for english, the man created the language used for hundreds of years. he is fucking uncompromised, and he took on the throne through his writing too

I now know why Socrates wanted an Enlightened Despotism rather than a fucking Democracy

yea democracy means regression to the mean

and the mean... by it's fucking name... is average. average people should not rule us

If the 'Average Standard' is lowered enough...

God help us

why does my vote count the same as a guy who steals TVs to sell at his pawn shop for crack?

i think we really do need an IQ test before voting. I really mean that.

When I first heard of a university they made it sound like this:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Raphael_School_of_Athens.jpg

hahahaha that's not a university now

this is http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/university-of-texas-carry-dildos-instead-of-guns_us_57bf0342e4b085c1ff27fa3b

and yes some of those are my students, at my university

God help us.

and that is in ... TEXAS holy shit that is my university

if it was at Cal I could understand it, but that's Texas, the reddest state i the US

Praise Kek

It is Austin though

Universities are indoctrination centers...

yea, but Austin has gotten redder of the past few years. i mean, i heard fireworks going off at 2:30 am on the night Trump was elected

Red States should pass laws to /REQUIRE/ diverse thought, not diverse skin.

Too many Liberals?.. No funding, put some Conservatives in there.

(I'm talking in the teaching position)

UT tries to get diversity everywhere. but a lot of the affirmative actoin stuff they put out backfires. like 40% of my students are hispanic (I teach at UT) and I'd say maybe 20% of those pass my class

we do need more right wing teachers. i'm surrounded by marxists. not exaggerating either. the peopel I teach with, are genuine communism fans

The Education system needs a purge of these idiots - -

I mean.. teach free thought, not a singular ideology.

i teach students to question authority and to read for themselves. and always ask for a citation when someone makes a claim they disupte

and when they question authority, they end up questioning the left, so the left hates it

Ha! How the wheels have turned...

They (the left) want to maintain power, so they stop asking people to question authority...

yea they are the authorities now, and they want conformity. the real vanguard of freedom and western values are the kids who take my class and come back like 3 yiears later ans say "Oh Dr. X we loved your class it got me through the last few years of my life" and it makes me really happy

and i'm like.. I'm not a phd yet, but thank you. >:D

Ah? When are you getting your Phd?

May of 2017, i should graduate then, but I'm thinking of putting it off until I have a job so I don't end up homeless or something

but I've worked for 8 years on it, so I want to graduate soon. I'm getting sick of school

Yeah academia is a bit of a bubble

Obama is saying in a press conference that the russian "activity" shoudl be shown to the electors on monday. lawlz

It would be wonderful if we can gain control of Academia... that is one of the most important spots of control.

yea it really is Heimat, once you are in, you are in for life, and then there is no reason to ever say anything again that doesn't fit your viewpont

If we can regain control back, we can influence generations to come.

And not indoctrinate.. but influence..

it's the most important spot, and there are lots of red pilled people coming up through the ranks, but we need to get teaching positions. that is the difficult part

breitbart said politics is downstream from culture, but culture is downstream from the universities

I left academia because I couldn't stand the social aspect of it

were you in grad school?

The smug superiority

sigh..yea. it's very elitist

Snobs.

Snobby snob snobs, with their noses so high in the clouds, they could walk into a beartrap and claim they're still ordrained by god.

i have some cred because i went to an ivy league undergrad, (not the best but a good one) and that shuts most people who criticize me up. but it's very very elitist

I worked on something like a PhD topic during my Masters

Bur quit after nadtwrs

ahh cool i didn't know you went that far, cool to know there is another academic here with me

Master's

Yeah I was heavily into research

Do you guys think the reason why they're soo extreme in schools is to scare off conservative professers?

i think they grad down conservatives and right wingers

But switched to industry now

and with bad grades you cant get hired

so they grad us down so we can't get hired and we end up working at Best Buy (I know a guy who does and he has a PhD)

right wing academics end up at think tanks if they are lucky

Again.. there needs to be a law that requires an equal number of conservatives to liberals...

i agree, especially in states like Texas, we coudl easily pass that law

evening folks

whats the topic?

Sup Slav.

Education. Academia.

hey slav we're talking about academia and politics

oh....great

my favorite part of society

haha i take it you love the topic

Well I mean....it's a pretty worn out topic by now

But yeah...conc. camps for academics

let's make it happen

Pfff.

true, but Heimat asked what Common Core was and we took off from there

Common Core

2+2=9

😄

Hehe

Common Core: 'If you have two dollars, and bart has five cats.. How many dogs are in China?' 'Answer: Purple'

has anyone used 23 and me to find out about their genetic lineage? i've been thinking about it but wasn't sure

naw

havent done any of those things

I'd like to but haven't

"No child left behind" is such a stupid idea that I don't know where to begin

how to know if it's accurate?

i mean, my dad is from England, my mom is German and Czech so I basically know, but I would like to find out more

No child left behind is a nightmare.

yea mroe like "no teacher's union left behind"

more*

People leave their kids behind in Wal-Mart all the time.

What's the big deal?

Imagine a society where everyone is an intellectual? Imagine the smugness clouds

I'd kill myself

grown people smelling thier own farts

'Let us allow kids with IQs compareable to rocks through all the way to the university'
