Wow.
After we get the country back, it’s time for some de-nazification in our universities and in our mainstream press. Or we can just scrap both and start from scratch.
Either way.
(thanks to Carin)

It’s all well and good that we have started to push back at Big Government with the rise of the Tea Party and Tea Party candidates being elected and sent to Washington.
But the real fight is in Academia and Culture (to include the media). Conservatives ceded those fronts a long time ago.
I wonder if the only way to win that battle is to hope for the burst of the higher education bubble, ala Glenn Reynolds.
These lib academics suffer from an accute case of lack of fear of being punched in the teeth. I happen to know the cure, though.
How about this one?
Among skulls and bones! How ironic…
Professor Higginbotham sounds like a very good man, who will likely be soon in the bite of the line.
Jeff, just wondering what Professor Brian “Special K” Kiteley have to say on the subject?
Save your knuckles, alp — they’re not worth the Bactine®.
Use a crowbar. Preferably an old, rusty one.
You should email him and ask, Joe.
All this talk from the left about civil wars probably has him in quite a state. Oh, the vapors!

Better yet McG, a wet lettuce leaf. Easier to hide and just as painful for these poofs.
Make sure it’s arugula, though. Wouldn’t want to give them a rash.

havehas to say on the subject?My bad. Professor Kiteley would likely have failed me for such a glaring error.
“De-nazification” seems to me to be precisely the correct word for what needs to be done.
The sort of people who would behave in the manner described are the very people for whom residence under an overpass ought to be considered a step up on the social ladder.
wild drunken parties of OSU nuclear engineering students
I call shenanigans.
I kid. Really. I spent the first years of my professional life in university administration and there is very little that would shock me. I remember it being so bad, that when my mentor first mentioned that maybe I’d be better off in the private sector, I thought he was plotting some sort of crazy revenge for… honestly I had no idea why, I thought that’s just what department heads did. It was like four years of living “I, Claudius”. Later I wised up and went into the non-profit sector, which was more like “The Godfather” and eventually ended up where I am now, which is a lot like “Deliverance”. I’m alternately Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds and Ned Beatty, depending who’s in office at any given time.
I wonder how much the Oregon taxpayers are going to have to fork over to cover OSU’s legal bills after this abomination. If it is as blatant as it seems, there should be a battalion of lawyers at the Robinsons’ door looking to take the case.
Sometmes, I am embarrassed to be a resident of the state of Oregon. It galls me that liberal enclaves like Portland and Eugene can swing the whole state in elections. Now Oregon State University can join Deb Fritsch and Tonya Harding in the Oregon Moonbat Hall of Fame.
rah rah rah! cess pool bah!
pump it out, pump it out!
and this is where the wheels come off.
Because of the where to dump toxic sludge.
…And the poor fellow’s a UCSD alum and worked at the Pauling institute?
All right, tell me who to punch.
Even the Bachelor is tolerable on a 150″ HD projector ;-)
OSU fires back at Arthur Robinson with a carefully crafted legal bit of boilerplate: ‘We know nothing, can’t say anything more, but let us assure you this this unfortunate and embarrassing leak of the machinations of our internal political affairs is baseless, without merit and unfounded. Good DAY!”.

He’ll tell you hush and not to worry as he slips the noose around your neck and then kicks the chair out from under you.

Try that with “Housewives of Atlanta” and get back to me.
The university system is maybe the most corrupt in American politics. They have students on the radio every day here in GA crying about losing HOPE scholarship money and how they will be denied an education if the state doesn’t come up with more money.
A college education in this country is ridiculously over-priced. If it were a good investment, you wouldn’t have such trouble financing it, or paying back the money after graduation.
This story was linked by Glenn Reynolds, with a caveat. We should see, soon, whether or not this story is truthy.
I agree, B. Moe. It’s a racket. I’m glad I got out.
Which was easy, once I learned that practically no one was interested in testing ideas. It was all about claiming a bit of turf and setting up shop there, then protecting it by surrounding yourself with fellow travelers.
The whole thing disgusted me after a while.
Carin – nothing could make that tolerable. Nothing. Oh, ran 6.5 miles yesterday. I am on pace in training for the half marathon next month.
I just had a chance to really look at this story. When getting my engineering degree, we were required to take 3 humanities and 3 social science courses. My MO was to say something blatantly non-leftist early in the course, and if the first grade was a fail I knew this teacher favored ideology over intellectual rigor and I would drop. This was U Illinois Chicago, Billy Ayers home base. I eventually found a poli-sci professor who while leftist was fair; I never found a fair professor within the humanities and I took my poor grades in those classes and moved on.
The Robinson children do not have that luxury. The left-wing party-line purges have now moved out of the soft “sciences” and humanities and into engineering and science. This is a tragedy that cannot be left standing. I urge all of you to check out Art Robinson’s website and to then contact the University administration, your Oregon lawmakers, to cut off state funding, and your Congressional representative, to cut off federal funding.
OSU delenda est!
It’s all about the paper. “Accreditation”, which is a fancy way of saying “government-approved”.
If I want to learn something, I ask somebody who knows, and I’m willing to pay a reasonable price for the knowledge transfer. I don’t need a receipt for the informational structure, thanks. Nor am I much interested in credential “throw-downs”…
Engineering and science were pretty much ideology-free when I was in school. A lot of my fellow travelers were liberals, of course, perhaps most, as was my advisor, but there were a few obvious conservatives who understood that one needs to be able to actually do useful things as some point.
Mojo, I’ve met plenty of credentialed people who were not that bright, and many really intelligent, knowledgeable, and capable people who didn’t have the credentials. Credentials are sometimes necessary to get you in the door, but if you don’t need them for that, it may not be worth it.
Oh, ran 6.5 miles yesterday.
Excellent. Didn’t it feel great!
I puked too. Yippee.
Way off topic … But,
“The National Endowment of the Humanities is the reason we have in northern Nevada every January a cowboy poetry festival. Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist.”
The National Endowment of the Humanities now controls whether or not people exist? Those tens and thousands of people ld not exist but for this big government program? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Maybe the NEH is where PelosiReidObama hid the $150 mil Bachman was talking about in hidden funding for O care that no one in Congress noticed in the bill – those death panels are hiding somewhere…
