If you're ever down in Tempe, look them up. Even a transfer through Phoenix, they're relatively close to the airport (prolly $30 round trip via taxi, but it's worth it to skip the airplane food and get a sample of their work--they sell great beer in 'growler' size jugs).
So she's no longer doing gender, society and culture, but will continue to do .. what? gender and culture?, or gender and society, or society and culture, or gender and gender, or ... whatever
C'mon. You assume she compels them to attend class. Or that they bother if they disagree with her.
I had an Economics teacher that was a Marxist. Unquestionably--he stated it outright in class. He would blather on for two hours straight about topics that had nothing to do with the test or Micro-economics. A friend of mine decided with me that we would devote the time we would have spent in class to studying A)microeconomics of beer sales and B)finding a student who'd taken the class the year before and weaseling a copy of their exams.
It was an effective study plan. I learned more about microeconomics...but I can't really remember any of it.
Some good brews around here (New England) are Smutty Nose Brewing Company and Portsmouth Brewing Company in Portsmouth, NH, Gritty McDuffs and Gearys in Portland, ME and Mountain Brewers in Bridgewater, VT. We've got a Redhook Ale Brewery on the old Pease Air Base in Newington, NH too.
Another personal favorite is the Victory Brewing Company in Downington, PA.
Seems as though that slippery slope the left is sliding down is a little slippery than normal, their actually picking up speed on the way down....LOOK OUT BELOW!!!
I have only one questions is the House Unamerican Activities Committee still around ? I think we need to clean house at our universities.
Ingenious!
The funny thing is that-despite the fact that most Economics Departments are overwhelmingly liberal in their political outlook-they remain-for the most part-the most conservative field on most college campuses.
Scary thought, isn't it?
Yep , another bullshit college curriculium . I was forced to take one of those courses to get my teaching degree. You CANNOT believe the crap they were pushing on me. I fought this professor tooth and nail every session .
Everyone should check out this site http://www.noindoctrination.org.
if you're interested in whats being taugh in colleges today . EXCELLENT site .
Shoving the M&Ms (Maoists and Marxists) out of the colleges is going to take time, and will probably coincide with the taking of the courts. Currently the courts are the stick. They abound with radical leftists who use dual reasoning to justify any Marxist propaganda on campus, while outlawing speech they don't like as either "hate speech" or "religious speech." We won't argue our way into victories. We have to replace these people.
The Board of Regents at CU is elected. Some Colorado Freepers need to start working on replacing them: From the CU web site:
The Board of Regents consists of nine members serving staggered six-year terms, one elected from each of the state's seven congressional districts and two from the state at-large. The members select their own chair and vice-chair.
We need candidates. Not wild-eyed lunatics, but sound, reasonable people, who will demand that state funding not be frittered away on ethnic studies and other pablum. Second, for courses that have a defined curriculum, instructors should be charged with teaching the curriculum. In most courses, there is not time for the fundamentals of Maoism if the curriculum is being taught.
Too many instructors believe that a University position is a state funded soapbox for them to ignore required duties and do whatever they feel like doing.
Boys, this system needs an enema.
Oh, no, on the campuses (campi?) I've been to, economics has almost universally been a bastion of sanity in a madhouse of liberalism.
And the test idea certainly wasn't ours. Georgia Tech, for example, has test files in many Greek houses that are insanely valuable to students.
That's the correct attitude. We're not going down without a fight. Now we need to get the GOP Senate to fight the same way...
