Does anyone doubt that most teachers are dumb? With apologies to my friends who are high school teachers, I have to say that as far as the majority goes, I have not met a more lemming-like group of people. I spent a couple days with them at the National Council for the Social Studies and [...]

Cathy Young presents one of the most reasonable assessments of Ayn Rand as her birthday passes. Atlas Shrugs has some great passages, some great jabs at the left. But parts of it are very disturbing, and Cathy points them out. (Oh, and the sex scenes just parody themselves.) It seems that many of Ayn Rand’s [...]

Here in my report on the National Council for the Social Studies convention I reveal how social studies teachers openly discuss strategies for indoctrinating children while earning continuing education and graduate credit…thanks to you, the taxpayers. Pictured here (at the 2008 Democratic National Convention) is Obama’s sister, “peace educator” Maya-Ng, who had to postpone her [...]

Michelle wore purple which went along with Barack Obama’s lip service to “bipartisanship.” Well, now that the Democrats lost “Ted Kennedy’s seat” and two governorships, they want “bipartisanship.”
They were singing a different tune a year ago, when Republicans practically begged to be included in negotiations for the stimulus bill, which was posted on the Internet [...]

Morehouse English professor Stephane Dunn, writing in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today, implores Morehouse men to pull up their pants and dress appropriately when they attend her class. I say ‘hurray’ to Morehouse for its new dress code and to Professor Dunn for speaking up.
Because she is a “sister,” Dunn is allowed to command her [...]

Dog bites man.
Cornel West speaks on race at Emory. Ho hum. “George W. Bush is a racist.” Yawn. “We’ve come a long ways (witness my speaking fees), but we’ve got a long ways to go (otherwise no one would have reason to book me as a speaker).” (Just doing a little deconstruction for the folks [...]

Yes, coming to the Decatur Library through the Georgia Center for the Book (a federal program).
I have no problem with Outwrite Book Store hosting a “Queer Literary Festival.” But imagine another group, like the heterosexual writers of America, trying to book a room at the library that DeKalb County taxpayers’ support. How fast can you [...]

SOCIALISM! As I was teaching “The Speech” last night it struck me that in 1964 Ronald Reagan was not afraid of using the S word. Yet, “conservative” (by Daily Kos standards) columnist Kathleen Parker, in a column likening Glenn Beck’s program to a “sideshow,” cited a count of the number of times Glenn Beck used [...]

Here is one professor weighing in in a forum called “Brainstorm” on the number one issue facing America today: race, specifically, racism in the form of one isolated Justice of the Peace refusing to marry an interracial couple….and Rush Limbaugh. The professor in typical humorless fashion ignores the origins of the “magic negro” comment, and [...]
