I was taught mostly by professors. And they were also doing research & publishing studies. Easy job? Hell no. You couldn't pay me enough to be a teacher or professor. I believe people who are scornful of teaching are the ones who failed at being students. And no, I don't mean you personally.

Freedom of speech is a pitch.

The plan, outlined in the documents called for a complete rewriting of American history, beginning at the university level first, to then train the next several generations of "teachers" to indoctrinate the entire US populace with socialism ... to prepare the American people for a merging of ideology with the Soviet Union.

As bat crap crazy as that sounds ... please save the childish comments ... and just do your own fact checking. I've given you everything you need to start to re-educate yourselves.

This explains why we've found ourselves in this socialistic nightmare that is destroying the country now.

The plan is right on schedule.

I don't assume anything a "should". I consider what a healthy society is like, based on some conditions.
I think you missed my point. Im saying no liberal argues " should". Just that the opportunity be there for them.

No wonder you are such liberal.

What was your major?
TSA = Technology Student Association

Phi Beta Lamnda = Future Business Leaders of America


Phi Theta Kappa = National collegiate honor society where you get in with a 3.5 GPA and must maintain a 3.0 or above.


SSS = Student Support Service where you tutor other students and organize campus events.

And in case the above didnt tell you, I was a Business major.

Is it impossible for you to have a conversation with someone without snide remarks, or are you just that kind of person.

further more, Are you arguing that Conservatives are loners in college ????

And you claim to be college educated? Are you not capable of ascertaining known facts? How did that happen, given your supposed college degree and all?
You do realize that googling a statistic has nothing to do with a college degree right ?????

Yes, you gave a reason why "racism" may be hardwired.

Seriously? This is not true at all. Think about where modern medicine would be without germ theory, or how we'd have developed lasers, computer monitors or atomic energy (or any number of other inventions we take for granted) without studying theoretical physics, or whether we'd have ever discovered DNA and all of the applications that knowledge has led to without theoretical work in biology, etc.

Socialist nightmare? I'll leave it to the real professors to debunk the rest of your crazed Alex Jones-borrowed right wing conspiracy.

Since you want to "re-educate" us, what's your highest level of education completed? I don't want amateurs reshaping American history as we know it.

"Education" is political.

Guy seems to retain immunity from political persuasion and coercion.
