IIRC, Florida International is a partly state-financed college. This is doubly wrong!

A simple question, this:

What is more important, unions and labor, or America?

I think America can survive without labor unions, but I doubt labor unions, as they currently exist, can survive without America.

It really is that simple.

those wonderful liberal compassionate universities LOVE hiring 3rd world slaves. chinese, russian, korean, etc. they all work for way less than an american post doctoral candidate, which is of course the whole idea. tell me what the difference is between moving your greedy corrupt business to china, and importing you low wage slaves from china?

Knowing the corruption in the educational system makes me glad that we decided to homeschool.

...educate workers and immigrants about their constitutional rights...

Except that workers and immigrants used above means illegal immigrants. You know it, I know it, and they know it. They're just hiding behind the spin. It would be nice to see how many of the workers and immigrants they "teach" are here legally. And, since we are talking about it, since when do illegal immigrants have constitutional rights? Oh wait! THEY DON'T! If you want constitutional rights, wait in your own country, fill out the forms, get in line, and maybe one day you can become a legal immigrant and then a citizen.

People wonder why college expenses have far outstripped other cost-of-living increases. These academics have been hiding their nonsense in the dark and have assumed that their “academic” characterization would make them immune to inquiry.

The nice thing about exposing these pieces of sh*t is that few of them really know how to fight back. They’re as corrupt as outfits such as ACORN and SEIU, but they don’t have the stomach to fight dirty. Exposing their political activities towards the ends of highlighting their violations is a tremendous development.

fox & friends had a discussion of public sector pensions, and how they are going broke. one of the key elements was that 2 of the 3 guests were 56 and 58. with a life expectancy of 78 for these 2, they will recieve 20 years of pension for 30 years of work. the social security system pays a pittance compared to these pensions, and requires over 40years work for a 15 year pension. hmmmm. looks like the taxpayer is going to have to dig deeper into his magic wallet to bail out big gubmints largess.

Maybe we can get video of the libs (concerned with and by Levin’s efforts) screaming like vampires on a sunny beach…!

On the serious side if you want to break the liberal stranglehold on higher education, you’ve got to get exposure of their spending AND public election of college regents…these people in most cases are selected by Governors (at least in Washington state) and are very liberal.

I know two graduates of Evergreen State. Both are libs to the nth degree. One is actually part of the volunteer board of directors at ESC. Just as closed-minded and liberal as you might expect, no surprises with this issue.

Labor unions, on the other hand, exist only to enrich their members, and monopolize the supply of labor in a particular employment relationship. They are legalized cartels, operating for the benefit of their members...

Forgive me if this is too far off point but the first thing that I thought of is that almost word for word the same can be said of cable companies in any given market. ~~Labor unions~~ Cable companies, on the other hand, exist only to enrich their members, and monopolize ~~the supply of labor~~ how we entertain ourselves in a particular ~~employment relationship~~ market. They are legalized cartels, operating for the benefit of their ~~members~~ political benefactors...

Shining a light on these groups is like illuminating a clump of cockroaches…..watch them scatter.

That’s why we need more inquiry.

Mark Levin is a true patriot and a hero. I hope that the “academic bubble” bursts soon. Some people are starting to seriously realize that, in addition to the public school K-12 system, the Left is in control of our “institutions of higher learning.” Ie: their tax dollars are going to fund the Ward Churchill/Bill Ayers types, who don’t instruct…they indoctrinate. I’d sure like it if no more of my money went to fund the Leftists’ propaganda disguised as “teaching.”
