Professors Blame Racism, Republicans for Government Shutdown
Frontpage Magazine ^ | 10/1/13 | Sara Dogan

◾Professors at campuses across the nation have been quick to lay blame for the government shutdown. And they are not blaming Barack Obama or the Democrats. University of Pennsylvania Associate Professor Anthea Butler claimed on twitter that racism against President Obama was responsible for the shutdown stating that a previous shutdown had taken place under the leadership of “fake black president Clinton” but this time Republicans have a “real black president to mess with.” ◾Assistant Professor Rachel Slocum at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse sent students in her geography class an email stating that “some of the data gathering assignment will be impossible to complete until the Republican/tea party controlled House of Representatives agrees to fund the government” due to the Census website, among other resources, being unavailable. When a student objected to the partisan email, Slocum sent a second email to her class claiming that she hadn’t “meant to be partisan” but still laying out essentially the same argument and further stating that “It’s important to recognize that within the Republican party there is disagreement over how to govern. Many are not happy with this all or nothing style that people on the far right (who refer to themselves as the Tea Party) are advocating.”

The kind of moron that thinks her students can actually learn something useful on an assignment that requires getting ‘data’ from a government web site that is truthful.

I would take a President Mia Love, a President Herman Cain, a President J.C. Watts, a President Walter Williams or any of a host of others in a heartbeat before tolerating President Bystander stumbling through a single additional unprecedented (and either meaningless or destructive) milestone.

The various leftist profs and talking heads blame racism for hangnails and mildew stains on their shorts. It’s best to ignore the jabbering animals in the zoos/colleges.

True, though the real tragedy is once these students graduate, most of them will be on the hook for 10’s of thousands in student loan debt, for the privilege of being exposed to this level of stupidity. An ivy league education has become a bigger scam than the pyramid schemes.
