To all, thanks for all the links and suggestions. Daunting sometimes, isn't it?
I attended Stanford and mrs tom h attended Hanover College, yet we are doubtful that our children will attend our alma maters because of the rampant liberalism.
I have been cataloguing possibilities -- we are a Christian family so you will find some of these on the list:
Hillsdale College, Hillsdale MI -- the Stanford of the right.
Patrick Henry College, Leesburg VA -- most of the Bush Administration interns come from here.
Grove City, Grove City PA -- famous for rejecting matching Federal funding.
Thomas Acquinas College, Ojai CA
Ronald Reagan University -- planned for somewhere in Tennessee.
There will be more. But even age 18 is too young for inflicting liberalism on children.
Excellent take on Churchill,
except this unwanted scrutiny seems to be bringing to light that indeed the ethics studies professor is less than ethical, beyond the issue of his native American status
I did hear that UC was going to review all his writings because it appears Mr. Churchill has a little problem with plagiarism and making up facts.......
gasp.....gee he's seem like such an honest grounded in reality kind of guy, NOT
of course I hear cheating and plagiarism are no biggy in the left leaning world of academia anymore - I refer to the big Harvard Law cheating school scandal as one example
I am hearing more and more about teachers who give their students failing grades for plagiarism and their useless parents browbeating even public school and high school principals until they reverse the failing grade - in my day, my parents would have punished me more severely than the school for such indiscretions, of course I would have never even dared nor considered cheating in school.....then again I was smart so I guess I didn't have to cheat, LOL
I remember a teacher in the US quit last year because the kids were told right at the time of the assignment, you will fail if you are caught plagiarizing off the internet
sure enough a bunch of kids did ( please children footnotes are not that hard - footnoting and paraphrasing are not difficult skills) and their parents moaned and groaned so the kids didn't get a failing grade, by order of the principal so the teacher quit because the administration didn't back her up and she couldn't countenance the bad message being sent......
ain't it ironic, the left leaning world of academia is in fact actively creating the next generation of Enron executives.......and NY Times journalists, oops.....
Hear hear. Cloaking themselves in the credibility of science. I think of Freud and Boas.
seems like you have strong values and if you instilled them properly they shouldn't have a problem......Hell, I went to UC Berkeley which you going to Stanford know that both those universites are outstanding academic institutions which is why I went. Sure I was surrounded by liberalism but it never was as bad as the press would have you believe, and it never dented my entrenched conservative values and viewpoints learned from my excellent parents. I just hate ot see otherwise smart kids not go to great universities cause they are "scared" of the liberals....is 18 also young to inflict conservatism on them also.....
It should be ETHNIC STUDIES.
Bump for Patriot's History.
"Has anyone said this guy can't teach a classroom on Indian History or Ethnography? Maybe he does it well."
Somewhere around here is the thread on how he made up the history of germ warfare against the Indians by the US Army. If by "does it well" you mean "makes it up as he goes along," then you may be onto something.
HEHE. This guy "bumps" us just by opening his mouth. Honestly, people who would have thought we were "conservative" listen to Churchill and think, "these guys are downright centrists!!!"
I hear you ... maybe I am imparting some of my own insecurity to the situation. I had strong Republican parents also, but I was a searching young man and fell in with bad crowds during my time at Stanford. [Academically I did fine but I regret many of my actions and my lack of direction.] I saw lots of nice kids with Midwestern values become California-ized after six months at Stanford. Young adults with strong character like you will thrive anywhere. Unfortunately, I think most 18-year-olds are on the other side of the divide.
Nice work.
Churchill is just a symptom of the disease. The disease itself is minority studies departments, that really don't have a core discipline, just fob off other disciplines, such as they are, to focus on certain groups, and tend to attract nut cases and folks not interested in scholarship, but with an agenda.
The professors at my small private college make less than the town's PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS and have to do more work than the clowns at the big universities since the departments are smaller.
They do it because they love kids and are willing to struggle to make ends meet. I have great respect for my professors. They know there stuff inside and out; they aren't teaching here because they were not good enough for a state university. They are here because they believe in the mission of small Christian colleges.
People like Churchill get into the big universities because they love getting lots of MOOLAH for teaching a couple classes and getting lots of research breaks that really aren't that stressful time-wise.
He can shove his cash up his a$&.
ick.....been making typos all night.
THEIR stuff, not there. Geez.
I wasn't going to do so earlier, but I am thinking I may review your book for my college newspaper. Yeah, we do not have many history majors here, but the college paper is printed in the town paper, and I bet the townspeople would be interested in getting your work.
Churchill doesn't even have a doctorate and is making almost 100 grand, which is outrageous.
"B.A., M.A., Sangaman State University
Communication"
That is shocking. His degree isn't even in anthropology or anything related even slightly to ethnic studies. I will have to let my HG professors know. They only get in the 40 thousand range and that is with doctorates in history. How sick.
"Has anyone said this guy can't teach a classroom on Indian History or Ethnography? Maybe he does it well."
I believe that would be a false assumption Sherm. Anyone who interprets recent history as he does and revises past history as he does, and has espoused the political position that he has, quite simply could not teach anythig well. This man indoctrinates--he doesn't teach.
Oh--forgot--he is said to have taught the Weathermen how to make bombs, but don't know if he did it well.
