There is an alarming media report about an effort by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) to target civics programs with the help of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. It is only the latest accusation of political bias at the AAUP under President Todd Wolfson. I will be debating Dr. Wolfson on the value of institutional neutrality on June 23.
Trinity College Professor Isaac Kamola, the director of the AAUP’s Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom (CDAF), explains that they want to unleash “naming and shaming and discrediting and undermining the legitimacy” of such civics programs.
As I discuss in my book “The Indispensable Right,” there has been a systematic purging of conservative, libertarian, and contrarian voices in higher education in America. This viewpoint intolerance has been fueled by the AAUP, which was created to foster intellectual exchange and diversity.
There has been a nascent effort to restore not just diversity but classic educational influences in higher education. As the father of four, I was appalled by how my kids could literally find no traditional history courses. Even a course on World War II was a study of identity groups during the war with virtually no discussion of the war itself. American political thought is often addressed from the perspective of colonization or white privilege.
Some schools have responded to the demand for more traditional courses with Civics centers. Notably, these centers are often created under the leadership of university presidents to blunt departmental ideological bias and hostility. Not surprisingly, many academics see the effort as threatening and intolerable.
These centers have been hugely successful and a draw for many students and academics marginalized by faculties that run from the left to the far left. These centers can now be found at universities, including the University of Florida’s Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education and UT Austin’s School of Civic Leadership.
John Sailer reports that Kamola spoke openly about the desire to target these centers. He is quoted as declaring:
“I would really love to see kind of a robust research project on these right-wing centers and individuals—like, naming and shaming and discrediting and undermining the legitimacy. I would love to strategically map who these f—ers are, and figure out what the weaknesses are, and design a research agenda that just goes through them and tries to knock them out.”
Sailer further acquired emails sent to a CDAF program fellow, including “brainstorming documents, grant records, and meeting audio recordings”:
“In a brainstorming document, Kamola identifies the centers as a key target. “Bring together faculty from different campuses that have dark money-funded, or legislature-imposed, ‘free enterprise,’ ‘civics,’ or other imposed centers,” the document reads.
In a meeting, Kamola expanded on the idea. “If we’re thinking about a five-year research agenda, I think unmasking, naming, and shaming, and just increasing the political costs and decreasing the legitimacy of these centers is going to be really important,” he said.
Kamola specifically calls out a Charles Koch Foundation initiative. His academic bio highlights his writings on the Koch Foundation and other conservative organizations. He has also joined many professors in denying the “so-called free speech crisis”:
“My teaching and research interest focus on the political economy of higher education, African anticolonial theory, and critical globalization studies. My latest book project, Free Speech and Koch Money: Manufacturing a Campus Culture War (with Ralph Wilson, forthcoming 2021), examines the dark money behind the so-called campus free speech crisis.”
CDAF was created through a grant from the Mellon Foundation, which Kamola shows support for his agenda and allegedly stated that “this is not public, so don’t share this anywhere, please—but that they have approved that or they’re in the process of approving it. They’ve gotten a budget that looks like it may be something like $10 million to create a new organization that would do rapid response.”
John Sailer’s research sheds light on the shadowy world of anti-free-speech grants and groups operating in higher education. I have written for years about the system of grants from the Biden Administration and private foundations that establishes and expands the censorship system. Leading institutions like Stanford University played a critical role in that effort as part of a government-corporate-academic coalition.
The system has functioned like a multiheaded hydra, in which cutting off one head only allows two more to grow back. These censors will not simply walk away and become dentists or bartenders. They have a skill set for censorship, and this is now a profitable industry supporting scores of people who market themselves as “disinformation specialists.”
If this account is accurate, the Mellon Foundation is continuing such efforts behind the scenes with groups like the AAUP. Higher education is still dominated by figures such as AAUP’s Kamola, who are eager to target “these f–kers … to knock them out.”
Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the New York Times best-selling author of “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution.“
Once again Turley demonstrates that he knows his audience all too well, and spews out irrelevant nonsense to stoke the rage of the MAGA cult.
The AAUP is, and always has been, completely irrelevant.
It has 44,000 members out of 1,500,000 teaching professors. Less than 3% of professors belong to this organization.
It is a completely irrelevant and inconsequential splinter group that the vast majority of professors simply ignore.
Turley knows this perfectly well, but continues to beat this dead horse that is not only dead, but is actually fossilized.
He does this for the sole purpose of stoking the rage of the MAGA mob, and everyone here falls for it hook, line and sinker.
You are a pathetically gullible cult of MAGA morons.
He is deliberately, disingenuously and hypocritically stoking the very rage that he supposedly condemns here on a daily basis, and in his stupid little books.
I’m not even sure I know what Turley is writing about today. But he’s hitting on all the usual themes of conservative victimhood.
Sometimes I almost wonder if Turley is really Estovir. There tends to be that mindless sense of rage for the sake of rage. Like conservatives need to ‘really’ get angry. Because this current outrage is the straw that breaks our backs!
ANON=MINDLESS MORON!!
K is no doubt Estovir.
The idea is to keep coming back with endless names. To create the impression that a vast MAGA army of seething Trumpers is screaming their lungs out! So hopefully liberal would-be commenters will the feel buckling pressure. The earthquake-like force of 10,000 Trumpers shaking theirs fists!
ANON no doubt is full of schiff! I am NOT Estovir!! You keep pushing this MAGA MORON crap!! You are the MORON!!! You think you are so important and powerful with your words. You are a grain of sand!!!!
And ANON is only 1 out of approx. 350 Million in the U.S.!! ANON MORON!!!
ANON= TDS infected brain rotting MORON!!! HA HA
This is an odd factoid to use to attempt a Turley gotcha.
It was Turley himself who pointed out, here on this website, that the AAUP has suffered a dramatic drop in membership.
The useful idiots took it over, and the normals decamped.
It occurs to me that your cluelessness may be ascribed to your being a boy. In which case, joke’s on me.
‘Disinformation specialists’ going after the Babylon Bee is so very funny. What dingbats.
Dear Prof Turley,
Look forward to your debate with Dr. Wolfson on the value of institutional neutrality. .. institutional political advocacy is never neutral.
According to the Pope recently, even institutional AI ‘technology is never neutral’.
*note. I disdain Republican and Democrat advocacy, in particular, with equal enthusiasm.
Whenever X/George disappears for the day, a certain “anonymous” shows up with comments remarkably similar in style, syntax, and sentiment……..
There was a time when university professors championed Socratic dialog as a means to explore and resolve conflicting ideas. Then, leftist militancy set in, and the gauntlet was thrown down to allow ad-hominem attacks, denunciations, and demonization of those holding differing viewpoints. It’s a cowardly system of passive resistance — unable to compete on the field of meritocratic debate, the left resorts to sneaky, underhanded ad-hominem tactics.
How do we recover from this expedient, fascistic excursion? Prof. Turley thinks it will just happen naturally so long as nobody can concentrate power over media with full-blown state-run-censorship (e.g., the CCP’s Internet Great Wall).
But, there is another perilous outcome, the one where conservatives give up on civility and take up counter-militancy.
Then, nobody will teach or practice Socratic dialog — only infowarfare will survive. At that point (which we are near),
nuanced, reasoned, creative policy options will be completely drowned out by ferocious side-taking. We will enter a dichotomization trap that we cannot escape, leading to civil war. And that only ends well for history-ignorant, romanticists.
pbinca,
I would argue to “recover from this expedient, fascistic excursion” we need to do what the good professor is doing: Pointing out the stupid and crazy. And we need to continue to make reasonable comments such as yours.
I do fear we are approaching a point of critical mass, where real, actual kinetic war breaks out. I do hope I am wrong.
However, our far leftist friends, and more than a few Democrats have voiced their support for exactly that kind of action.
As I have stated in the past, a civil war needs to be avoided. But I think we are getting to the point, it may be inevitable.
Every time lefties and wokesters – and these are college profs – refer to conservatives they use the term ‘right-wing’; but when referring to their own positions they don’t claim to be ‘left wing’ and mostly don’t claim to place their position on any such spectrum at all. Instead they simply presume that their position is reality and goodness all wrapped up in a shiny package.
America’s higher level of education will incorporate a fundamental shift as it begins to integrate artificial intelligence alongside the enduring standards of learning established in the free market place by renowned educators, distinguished legal minds, scientists, biologists and accomplished business leaders. This transformation has the potential to reduce reliance on costly physical campuses that contribute to overwhelming student debt, while expanding access to high-quality education. In doing so, it should clarify the distinction between genuine intellectual development and forms of instruction that prioritize ideology over critical thinking.
The liberal far left professors represented by the AAUP are the parasites that have destroyed academia from within. As time goes by they show no redeeming value. I’m convinced so many of them have congregated at the university because they likely could not get, and could not keep, a job in society outside of the protection of the university (“academic freedom”) and outside the protection of the AAUP that would enable them to have a comfortable life. Most, if not all, are not productive members of society and many of their positions and much of their salaries are funded by alumni donations and ridiculously high tuition for which students assume crushing debt and for which many receive little value upon graduation. It’s high time to starve the beast. Alumni, especially conservative alumni, should realize that their contributions are fueling much of this anti-free speech behavior by faculty and should inform university and college presidents, and Boards of Trustees, why they are no willing to contribute money to support the university or college. Parents students who want to attend a college or university with a faculty that is far left and contrary to the values of the student’s family should tell the student that he or she is on their own for tuition, room and board, and living expenses. Things will only change when enrollment falls and tuition income drops. Money talks.
End Federal Aid reaching colleges(this include state aid roundtripping) including backing of student loans…which Obama put in!
Also OUTLAW public unions…the political army of democrats, funded by Taxpayers!
Pretty sad that political battles are using children as hostages and chess pieces.
I remember when gay marriage was legalized nationwide the fringiest of fundamentalist Christians were screaming about how they would come for your children next. Little did I know how right they were. It is a multifront culture war with no boundaries, no morals.
Anon– In my opinion, the “truth” is that this is but one facet of a wide-spread campaign to get power consolidated in the hands of “progressives,” “socialists,” “Marxists” or whatever label you choose to give them. They have taken over the Democrat party which is the vehicle being used to get control of the House, the Senate and the Presidency. And, there are enough Yellow Dog Democrats in the land and even more Lemmings, easily swayed by the massive propaganda over the last ten years, who will provide a broad base of votes for whomever the candidates are. Consider the recent primary elections in Maine, California, etc. Great civilizations are never destroyed by outside forces; instead, they always are destroyed from within. Sadly, the great American civilization, without which these groups would not exist, is following that course.
The Left is waging war and the Right thinks it is engaged in a civil debate.
Exactly
“until you are willing to harm the left more than they are willing to harm you, they will win. It’s really that simple.
– Aimee Therese on X
The Blue Dog Coalition was choked to death in the primaries, and over the past 30 years, we have faced a more intransigent Democrat Party than ever before. I understand how that happened due to the primary system, but I am trying to figure out exactly where that power to choke and kill came from.
HLM, the downstream damage starts with the upstream loss of civics formation.
We have spent decades warning about AI systems that might outrun their programmers and begin making unilateral decisions about human lives. In a quieter way, that is exactly what has happened in higher education.
We built universities to transmit knowledge, cultivate critical thinking, and form citizens for a constitutional republic. Over time, the professors and administrators we empowered to teach have come to see themselves not as custodians of a shared inheritance, but as gatekeepers of what may be known. They invoke academic freedom for themselves, while working to ensure that students never encounter serious civic and constitutional frameworks that fall outside their preferred ideology.
When faculty organizations and foundation-funded centers talk openly of “naming and shaming” and “knocking out” civics programs that restore classic texts and American political thought, they are behaving like a runaway system we have lost control of. The institutions charged with preparing citizens for self-government are now actively narrowing what future citizens are allowed to learn.
That is not academic freedom in any meaningful sense; it is a curricular cartel, and it is fundamentally at odds with the ideals of a free republic.
What BS.
it is a curricular cartel… and only liberals indulge in that process? As for free republic, I’ll counter by stating, there is no such thing as free republic. Not even in your mind. Its just some BS you spew to the MAGA idiots populating this place.
That’s typical Olly, lathering up the crowd with his republic mumbo jumbo.
An idiot appears in your mirror daily and im sure you arent MAGA. NICE JOB OF PROJECTION.
Free republic? How free is a “free republic” if 50 legal entities have 50 sets of laws. In entity one I can do X without recourse, but in entity 50, its unlawful.
OLLY,
Reminds me of an age where only the clergy could read, write, were educated to keep the peasants in their place.
I am fine with making institutions like American Association of University Professors irrelevant.
There is an excellent article over on The Free Press that was, earlier this morning, open to read.
Odd.
I just checked again, and I can read the whole thing. And I am not logged in. I am paying subscriber.
https://www.thefp.com/p/new-college-florida-desantis-higher-education
Fake Farmer, who spends all day, every day here reading everything and posting like a maniac.
The AAUP is, and always has been, completely irrelevant you idiot.
It has 44,000 members out of 1,500,000 teaching professors. Less than 3% of professors belong to this organization.
It is a completely irrelevant and inconsequential splinter group that the vast majority of professors simply ignore.
Turley knows this perfectly well, but continues to beat this dead horse that is not only dead, but is actually fossilized.
He does this for the sole purpose of stoking the rage of the MAGA mob, and just like you, everyone falls for it.
He is deliberately, disingenuously and hypocritically stoking the rage that he supposedly condemns here on a daily basis, and in his stupid little books.
Poor ano You cry and cry about Upstate, but you refuse to engage him in debate,
Just the typical childlike insults.
Try harder.
Idiot.
I did engage him in debate.
He tried to make a point about the AAUP, and I pointed out that the organization is a completely irrelevant splinter group with absolutely no influence whatsoever in American higher education.
Upstate, your clergy analogy is better than you know. The monks lost their monopoly the day the printing press showed up. Once ordinary people could read the Bible for themselves, the game was over. Nobody had to defeat the gatekeepers. They just walked around them.
Same thing at New College. The critics screamed censorship. What actually happened? Kids are reading Homer. Professors teach without a loyalty oath. Enrollment is up three years straight. Nobody swapped one orthodoxy for another. They put the books back on the table and got out of the way.
That is the whole fight. A citizen who reads the founding documents himself does not need a professor to tell him what his rights mean. He can see it in plain English. The cartel knows that. That is why they guard the gate so hard. Hand the people the text and the cartel dies.
I love headlines…
“Ex-Trump DHS official explains how he deluded MAGA ‘into clapping for their own decline'”
That article was written by a traitor. Back in September 2018, the conservative Taylor was still serving as DHS chief of staff when he anonymously wrote a New York Times op-ed headlined, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration.”
Traiter? Are you talking about the 1000 people that stormed the capitol building to keep in power the person that lost the election?
How are those tariffs working out for you?
How is that war in Iran going? Price of gas not high enough for you yet?
If you’re going to spew forth more of your nonsense, at least have the common courtesy of spell check.
Is that a reply to John Say? He cannot spell worth anything.
No the Democrats, FBI agents and capitol police that welcomed them in, took selfies with them, tried to find them open rooms and then beat them and arrested them.
All the while the treasonous Democrats and Mike Pence suspending the rules of confirmation which require a pause to retire to chambers to discuss the challenge to the election and then come back to the Senate and decide to confirm or investigate further.
Instead the rules were suspended and Biden’s confirmation rammed through with out a vote. Confirmation was meant to challenge a suspect election not to be a rubber stamp. There were numerous GOP senators who were going to challenge the election.
Honestly, the bull shit people believe. Sad, so sad.
Her is mostly correct.
And don’t forget Nancy’s role in orchestrating the security failures!
I have no problems with protesting a lawless and fraudulent election.
If you beleive Trump lost in 2020 – then why did you go to so much trouble to thwart any scrutiny ?
There are myriads of examples of fraud that many of us were aware of BEFORE J6 – but today so many have managed to get even iunto the left wing nut news it is impossible for you to credibly claim the 2020 election was fairly conducted and decided.
And yes, People can protest an election even if it actually was conducted properly.
The first amendment is for those who are wrong even more so than those who are right.
“How is that war in Iran going?”
I am fine with it. Though honestly I think Trump should just bite the billet and take out the IRGC.
He essentially promised that to the irainian people a comple of months ago.
Regardless, I have no problems taking out a regime that has been OFFICALLY at war with the US since 1979
That EVERY US president has SWORN will never get a nuke.
That has destabalized the mideast for decades.
That is a threat to the mideast and europe
that is a religious death cult.
We are talking about leaders who are far more dangerous than Kim Un, or Xi or Putin.
“Price of gas not high enough for you yet?”
Still below the Biden average.
John
Let Iran get the bomb and watch the cost of fuel go sky high. Other Arab countries with get them and once one missile flies. All bets are off.
The leaders of Iran has claimed for years. Once they get the bomb, they will use it.
You mean the 1000 protestors who were following the law until the Capital police set off tear gas, which hit them instead. Then fired rubber bullets to harm and main.
That caused the riot.

Think of freedom of speech as a living organism. Then think of what is required for it to survive. Coming to mind are a population agreeable to its constitution (its environment) and the institutions (its nutrients) that keep it healthy. Currently, many institutions, including some political parties, question unfettered freedom of speech and are working to deny it, claiming it is unhealthy for the body politic. So far, many institutions, such as colleges, have suffered setbacks due to their educational incompetence, while those such as the AAUP are mere satellites and will sink with them.
Good luck in your debate.
What if free speech is not a living organism but just a mere blip in one’s thought while sitting on the toilet.
That is how the Europeans are treating free speech more and more. In fact the are even prosecuting for thoughts. Be careful what you think even while on the toilet.
Treating you say? More and more? And prosecuting for thoughts? Then you must have a library of documented facts as proof. Yet you provide none.
Here is but one excellent example, CJ Hopkins: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The New Normal Reich
“So the German Supreme Court has ruled on my case. Their ruling is that they will not rule on my case. They sent my attorney a letter to that effect. It literally says:
“The constitutional complaint will not be accepted for a ruling. No explanation is provided. This ruling is incontestable.”
So I am now officially a “hate criminal” in Germany. I was already pretty much a “hate criminal” in Germany, but now it’s official. This is Germany’s supreme court. There is no higher court to appeal to.”

You clearly have not been here very long.
Turley has posted numerous articles on the sad state of speech in europe – but despite numerous articles – he has barely scratched the surface.
Yes all of this is well documented
Thought is not speech, though Democrats have tried to make thought a crime for decades.
The absence of a right to free speech has consequences – first we KNOW from history what things look like when there is no free speech.
But further Free Speech derives from Free will – what other rights are you ready to sacrifice ?
If your speech can be controlled – why not your actions – if free speech is not a right – why is freedom – why isn’t slavery moral ?
but just a mere blip in one’s thought while sitting on the toilet.
While giving birth to you.
What Turley describes and what the Mellon Foundation and AAUP are trying to do is very similar to what we see in Europe today, where someone in Germany, for example, can be imprisoned for three years just for expressing a belief that may be incorrect on some level. The effort to stifle speech resonates well with the other pop-art movement underway to promote socialism or communism under the guise of democracy. After all, a keynote feature of these central authoritative forms of governance is obedience to a single mindset that follows the elite who, we’re told, manage the “warmth of collectivism.”
Stupidity, like the common flu, is cyclical. We are still in the upswing of a stupid cycle, but the good news is that it should reach its apex soon and begin descending quickly, quietly, and completely. The petri dish for what Mellon and AAUP are trying to push across is Europe, and already, we can begin seeing the reaction there as more and more Europeans ask themselves, Why can’t we make Europe great again? They, like we, see the reason and the answer. Get rid of the oligarchy of woke leaders and bring back good old patriotism, nationalism, and self-worth. And freedom of expression. If you want your view respected, you must respect mine.
What exactly are we seeing in Europe? “The effort to stifle speech ” is not specific to liberals. You know that – right? Please say you know that.
They are socialists if you want to get specific. So it’s all relative. They are so far left they are all “liberals” compared to an American political scale.
Lay off the LSD. Its .
If we were talking 1950 – you would be correct – in 1950 in the US the primary threat to speech was from the right.
But it is not 1950, and todays left makes Joe McCarthy look like a whimp.
As to Europe – While the European Right is rising – they do not as of yet have any consequential power and they have not for decades.
Who knows how they will be with power. But you can not blame them for the loss of freedom in Europe.
There is a difference between Conservative and authoritarian. That difference between liberals and authoritarians has shrunk to a point unseen. You need to recognize these things.
Headline: “USPS Proposes Halting Mail Ballot Delivery To States That Refuse Voter Roll Verification.” And you believe that only Europe suppresses free speech.
Free speech does not legitimize corrupt elections. Ballots mailed to dead people those that have moved out of state etc. needs to be stopped. The crooked Democrats don’t anything that prevents fraud. Nice try though.
How can a dead people have a mailing address?
Don’t act dumb. There are mailing list databases all over the place with bad entries. Keeping dead people on the rolls privides marging for cheating.
All over the place? Then you mean, you have some? Don’t act dumb.
For you… it’s no act now is it?
Yes all over the place – Federal law has required that states remove invalid names from voter registration for decades.
But they do not.
A recent JW lawsuit found that LA had over 1million registered voters that did not exist.
That is a single city.
Nationwide it is estimated that 19% of voter registation entries are invalid.
But in many places the number of invalid voters exceeds the number of valid ones.
You have not seen what is going on in LA. They were paying the homeless to vote.
Yes it’s on video too.

“How can a dead people have a mailing address?”
With ease
I still receive mail for my father who died 13 years ago.
Ocasionally I get mail for a wide varietr of people who do not live here – some dead some not
Regardless the post office uses addresses, not names for delivery.
They do not verify names in anyway.,
Free speech doesn’t allow for outrageous lies either. That is why there are slander and libel laws.
“Free speech doesn’t allow for outrageous lies either.”
False.
“That is why there are slander and libel laws.”
Nope – defamation claims are claims that you have harmed the reputation of another person.
All lies are not slander or libel.
Further outside of the US truth is not a defense in a slander or libel case.
You can libel someone in the UK by telling the truth about them.
That is not suppressing free speech.
That is enforcing election integrity to ensure fair, legal, secure elections.
How is this a free speech violation ?
Are you trying to claim that fraudulent ballots are an exercise of free speech ?
Regardless USPS is not threatening to censor mailin ballots – it is just not going to transport ANY ion states that fail to comply with existing federal laws that are decades old.
Sounds good to me.
It is reasonable for the federal govenrment to suspect all kinds of services for states that refuse to obey the law.
Don’t argue with a troll, that only encourages one. Mock and make fun of trolls because all they do is lie
“What Turley describes and what the Mellon Foundation “
As we all know, Mellon was a conservative, as were Ford and many others. These 501(c) (3) s were created as non-partisan entities only to pivot to so-called social justice, actually social injustice due to an authoritarian fixation. That gets back to the operant (effector) money (power). This money is indirectly coming from taxpayers and supporting authoritarian ideas, some of it foreign. 501 © 3s should be ended, and the money returned to the taxpayer.
What belief is it, specifically, and on what level, exactly?
Is it lies about Jews not being killed and the Holocaust was just made up? That belief?
OT but of interest, Conservatives Took Over a Progressive College. What Happened Next?

LOL you post and article everyone has to make an account to see anything. What a maroon.
Tell ua you didn’t click the link without telling us. Once again you expose yourself as a self-serving troll. The link works perfectly. No account creation needed.
No acct… FYI, no one wrote that.
Michael A. Crognale,
It must of gain so much traction, they put it up behind an account required. It was fully open this morning.
I just checked again, it is fully open.
I think it has to do something with browser settings. I tried on a mobile device and I have to create an account. But on a desktop computer, I can see the whole thing.
It’s a website. you need brains to operate it.
Ever think for yourself. Spoon fed by rightist media. Idiot.
Anyone is not Marxist is rightist media idiot right?
Your words …
No I only watch leftist clown media and laugh. What rightist media are you talking about?
I searched google and MSN but they couldn’t find one right leaning site for me to get spoon fed. Could you please post some right leaning media hyperlinks for us to read?
No I only watch leftist clown media and laugh. Then you missed the right leaning media hyperlinks intentionally? The internet isn’t just full of liberals, but rightist idiots too.
My my, now you are getting testy for getting called out on your trolling and hypocrisy. I am still waiting for you to rage though, it makes my day.
If you think The Free Press is right wing media, then you are an idiot and a moron! 🙂
Well, not useful idiots like you.
HAHAHA, try harder. That was a poor retort
I wish I could hear the debate but I’m moving to TX from the NE on that date for a university job. Will it be recorded?
“There has been a nascent effort to restore not just diversity but classic educational influences in higher education. As the father of four, I was appalled by how my kids could literally find no traditional history courses.
Some schools have responded to the demand for more traditional courses with Civics centers. Notably, these centers are often created under the leadership of university presidents to blunt departmental ideological bias and hostility. Not surprisingly, many academics see the effort as threatening and intolerable.”
Democratic response:
My god! How will democracy continue to exist if we teach children history and American civics?
Civic centers should teach the history of Karl Marx and indoctrinate in the civics of socialism, communism and property seizures.
The Marxist, Socialist, Communist, Anti-American, Anti-Capitalist professors and administrators took over colleges and universities decades ago in America. The curriculums are indisputable proof of that.
So, Professor, are you on the list to be knocked out? If so, it is truly a badge of honor
And what if he is “knocked out”?
These people are sick creatures. We are surrounded by demons. Keep the faith and never shy away from truth.
What exactly is the truth AL? A couple words will suffice.
If funny you should ask what the truth is. Your admission to not knowing exactly what is true is quite unexpected.
And… what is the truth? Your admission to not knowing exactly what is true is quite unexpected.
Anonymous the Troll is channeling Pontius Pilate. George prepares a trap and steps in it himself.
