	US Conservatives Concerned... Put an end to popups!

From a story that ran in the Chicago Tribune last Sunday:

quote: Just when you thought the streets were safe from the Political Correctness menace, the neo-conservative right has uncovered a new threat to the survival of the republic. In the pages of the WSJ and the Washington Times, the American Enterprise and other venues, alarms are sounded because according to surveys, 85% to 97% of faculty memebers in the humanities and social sciences departments of our most prestigious universities identify themselves as left of center.

Duh!!!!!!!

And they need surveys to bring this to their attention...
Like this hasn't been going on for the last 50 years...

I'll be that in the business and marketting departments the ratio is the exact opposite.

Good point.

edit: actually you should be a bit concerned scared if humanities departmens are right wing oriented too

The fact that conservatives needed a poll to tell them this just goes to show how out of touch with reality they are.

I know... I just couldn't stop laughing when I read it.

Also in the story is quote from a story that ran in one of the right wing web site rags... Front Page Magazine...

quote: It's a vast left-wing consipiracy, part of a gigantic social machine working to push society to the left.

And people actually believe this stuff...

Your words have chilled me to the bone as they ring so true with what we already know.

I'll testify that Ming has the capacity to be nice. And the capacity to be arbitrary.

Hey, Stewie is obviously concerned that the US state's propaganda machine isn't up to it since the end of the Cold War

Yeah, this is stating the obvious, academia tends to have a higher proportion of lefties. I remember there was one tutor at my old uni who was quite well known for being a communist, and he was in geography...

So, tell us. What's the difference between marxist geography and the common reactionary geography of public schools? I want to know what truths about the spartial space that has been hidden from my by the regime.

Too many lefties spoil the curriculum. Why are we required to take Multi-culturalism and Sensitivity 101 when 90% of my class can't point out turkey or Iraq on the map.

Pc bullsh!t.

Maybe because all those right-wing high school and primary school teachers couldn't figure north and south on the map! Oh, and those conservative schoolboadrs got rid of a geography component to their education.

So it was the conservatives who got rid of basic skills geography and history and replaced them with Self-esteem 101 and The history of Bra-burning? Hardly.

And che, you know the difference

Why do we need to know geography in the modern world? If I want to get somewhere all I have to do is log on and do a search on the internet. Get driving directions. Or if I want to fly I just need to know the destination.

Okay, let's make it more simple for you. You're rquired to take multicutural courses because your fellow classman cannot point out Iraq or Turkey because they're a bunch of self-centered twits who can't be arsed to realize there's a world beyound their own skin.

Hey, the history of bra-burning is a important part of the history of most countries in the western world and concerns the social, economic and political situation for half of the population in modern times. It's at least as important as keeping track of dead monarchs.

Perhaps it is time that many people learned where places are, I know my knowledge is very good...

So its the job of a university to take our large amounts of money and "re-indoctrinate" us? I spend a lot of money and should take what I think is important for me, not what some university thinks I should know that 's completely irrelevant to what im studying.

It's a form of PC, liberal agenda, forced indoctrination.

As for your university cources Sardwhatever. I might not agree with your views of some of those cources but I do agree that forcing people to take certain cources at the university-level is wrong and hardly constructive. Particulary so if you actually pay for it.
