If you send a child who has been "trained in the way he should go" (Proverbs 22:6) this is what that child must be prepared to do in an institution of higher education.

Now UNC Chapel Hill has hit a new low with a 9/11 literature class in which students will read the poems of Al Qaeda terrorists rather than 9/11 survivors and the children of 9/11 victims.
An English class offered at UNC Chapel Hill this fall called “Literature of 9/11” explores the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks from the perspective of radical Islamists and those who view America as an imperialist nation.
The readings mostly focus on justifying the actions of terrorists – painting them as fighting against an American regime, or mistaken idealists, or good people just trying to do what they deem right. None of the readings assigned in the freshman seminar present the Sept. 11 attacks from the perspective of those who died or from American families who lost loved ones.
The texts include Poems from Guantanamo featuring a poem from Jumah al Dossari, an Al Qaeda member who allegedly recruited the Lackawanna Six.

UNC has become such a BS school. They try to come across as deep thinkers but the only thing I see is deep BS.
Kind of seems like the enemies of our country have already won. They’re in our courts, our schools, our govt. Trump, Cruz, Carson and the rest are too late. The Repubs already in office are sold out to the dems for position and party favors. I just don’t feel much hope at this point. Makes me so sad.
Why isn’t anything ring done about it? Why aren’t parents refusing to pay tuition to such a school?
We are sooooooo enlightened, because we can embrace the opposite of what most people expect! We are sooooooo cool!
“Why aren’t parents refusing to pay tuition to such a school?”
Gubmint brokered studentbloans pay tuition these days.
Again I ask why are people going into debt for junk like this and lesbo porn?
Marx is smiling. His legacy, idiocracy.
It is a stupid idea. I understand the “shock value” of reading from an opposite point of view.
I recall having a conversation with a professor in college one afternoon. He was a drafted 19 year old German Infantry soldier. He was on the bluffs of Normandy. I was enthralled by his story. It was so different from the war stories of my family. Here was a guy that hated his country’s leadership so badly he could not wait to be captured—although he was smart enough to know there was no prisoners to be taken that day.
I wasn’t sympathetic, nor was he looking for sympathy. But rather it was an experience that taught me to look at both sides of an issue and understand that most of what is written in superficial history, while not lies, is bullshit.
But, this was 40 years after the fact. And it was a private conversation.
College professors these days are idiots. Sweet justice would be one or two vets in her classroom who could enlighten her about how glorious jihad can be in real life.
Why in hell would serious college students or their parents agree to signing up for such frivilous course offerings?
I always thought college was to enhance a person’s overall knowledge in a way that be of benefit to him/her in future endeavors, like careers.
Seems that today the parents and students paying the tuitions and fees are just sheep being fleeced by frauds in the institutions of so-called “higher” education. ....Rant over.
Journalism graduates these days can’t even write a coherent article using proper grammar and sentence construction. I get so aggravated trying to read articles in my local newspaper and news websites written by these young so-called journalists. I don’t think they ever proofread anything they write.
I absolutely agree. Nobody proofreads anything anymore. And some of them don’t even know the difference between “their” and “there.”
