I can’t imagine that the Alumni of the University of Delaware are going to let this episode go quietly into the night. Their degrees and their reputations are sullied by this kind of anti-white and anti-Christian biogotry.

I am unconvinced that this is over. The policy didn’t materialize out of thin air. There are a lot of questions that someone at the University needs to ask and get answers for. For example:

(i)Whose idea was it to develop such a plan?
(ii)How did this get approved?
(iii)Who decided who would draft it? (iiii)Who drafted the plan?
(v)Who signed off on it?
(vi)Was the plan as implemented the same as the plan as approved?
(vii) Has/will anyone be held accountable for this debacle?

This last question is super important because, as we know, the types behind these thought control ideas never stop coming…they always come back in new guises.

I think that it is extremely important that the “brain” behind this thing be outed ASAP. People need to be aware of who is behind this crap and be on their guard the next time they come up with some new idea.

Even if whites are totally free from all conscious racial prejudices, they remain racists, for they receive benefits distributed by a white society through its institutions.

This propaganda, unfortunately, is not limited to the University of Delaware. It is being ‘institutionalized’ by our educational and religious organizations. The following appeared on a 2003 Ordination Exam for Episcopal priests

http://www.episcopalchurch.org/1521_6891_ENG_HTM.htm

Who is a Racist?

“All white individuals in our society are racists. Even if whites are totally free from all conscious racial prejudices, they remain racists, for they receive benefits distributed by a white society through its institutions. Our institutional and cultural processes are so arranged as to automatically benefit whites, just because they are white. It is essential for whites to recognize that they receive most of these racist benefits automatically, unconsciously, and unintentionally.”(Education and Racism, National Education Association, 1973)

A. In the light of the foregoing definitions, write an essay of two and a half pages describing the role the Episcopal Church has played and continues to play in perpetuating and/or combating institutional racism. As part of your essay, give at least three specific examples from your knowledge of the Episcopal Church and three from your own personal experience.

B. In an essay of one page, state what you believe the institutional church must do to eradicate racism within the church.

Please note the source of the definition and explanation of ‘who is a racist’…..
National education Association.

It would be interesting to see if the NEA still adheres to this definition.

I am so glad I earned my Bachelor degree in Manufacturing Engineering by attending classes on a Military installation. All of our professors were retired Military or had served a full term with an honorable discharge. They had all entered the workforce and worked in the manufacturing sector (before it started to go off shore). I see very little value in investing my time our money in trying to obtain a post graduate degree by learning from those whom have never had to work a real job in their lives. The higher education industry really needs to have its back broken by doing away with tenure and any public funding.

I’ve made my donation to the fine people at FIRE, for the good works they do.

How about the inpotence of the University of Colorado? It is completely unable to prevent Ward Churchill, a fired and disgraced racist, from entering the campus and using campus facilities to teach “students”. (Oh, his course is not for credit so that makes it OK – gasp.) Last time I checked, every public college administration has the responsibility to police the property of the state – and the students are not the administration. This is but the most recent example of the ineptness of liberals when faced with a real problem. (It makes you wonder just what they would do if Charlie Manson and his clan of murderers decided to give a lecture on the grounds. Oh, it would be OK as long as they didn’t murder anyone. Well, maybe it would be OK is they just sliced someone once and not too badly.)

Is it just me or are more and more incidents happening that remind me of the Matrix?

Yes, Virginia, anyone can be racist. Any race, any nationality (JAPS), any ideology (communism), any gender (male or female) can be. Wild animals are. They kill each other individually and enmass for no apparent reason except dominance and racism. Private schools, home schooling, independent schools, Christian schools, charter schools are the only alternative to government, propaganda schools.

I have often thought that, when I retire, I would like to go back to college; this time for fun. U.S. history. Now, I wonder if it would be a wise choice. I probably would walk out in disgust at what is being taught these days.

deja vu

In 1984 a book about this type of brainwashing in public schools was published. I believe Congress passed a bill the next year outlawing such actions in public schools – but no penalties were included.

“Child Abuse in the Classroom” is about the psychological, emotional, moral and intellectual abuse children experience while enduring such programs as “values clarification”, “behaviour modification” and “Outcome-Based Education”. This book contains over one hundred testimonies by concerned, outraged and angry parents about what their children have been getting in school. These are selected transcripts of 1,300 pages of testimony given at U.S. Department of Education hearings.

I thought nothing academia does could shock me anymore. I was wrong.

Their materials about “Shinin’ A Light On White” and the deeply racist rants against white people are astounding. They are a step or two away from launching some kind of kristallnacht against “whitey.” And this is from a state university? The world is getting more insane with every passing day.

“Each student will recognize the benefits of dismantling system of oppression”

This sounds like when Hugo Chavez changes his country’s constitution.

This is not good enough. There should be a full investigation and the program planners and University officials fired. All State participation should be examined and those responsible be brought up on charges. The brainwashing of college kids into a racist, bizarre ideology, in total violation of the USA Constitution is not a laughing matter.
