So it’s OK to teach this un-American crap as long as they got a football team you like.

I did not say that. I was one of the ones not going to the games when the coach and players talked that mess (withheld my money), then resumed going when they quit talking that mess.

My son, who obviously has more recent experience, says the DEI/CRT/LGBTQWERTY mess isn't discussed in the computer science and higher math courses (nor were the liberal stuff taught in my CS and math courses decades ago).

It looks like they’ve gone back to talking that mess.

I, for one, welcome our new female, African American, equal opportunity, affirmative action overlords.

FYI, blacks tend to have problems understanding a free society. There isn’t one black nation that is (or ever has been AFAIK) not a dictatorship.

“FYI, blacks tend to have problems understanding a free society. There isn’t one black nation that is (or ever has been AFAIK) not a dictatorship.”

My post was a joke. I won’t argue your first sentence but the second is very, very wrong:

“Millions of Africans will go to the polls in 2020 to participate in the most sacred of all democracy’s rituals, to elect their leaders.

There will be presidential, and in some cases also parliamentary elections, in Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Niger, Seychelles, Tanzania and Togo.

Parliamentary elections will also take place in Chad, Mali, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Comoros, Egypt, Somalia, Liberia and Gabon.”

I’m sure their elections are as legitimate as ours.

For me and my relationship with my “Alma Mater.”

After contributing small amounts to different “drives,” I realized, by reading semi annual and then annual, “surveys,” the culture of my college had changed and not for the better.
What was originally founded as a school with ties to religion, was becoming a strictly statist, socialist and “Woke,” institution. A Dean was hired who had been a Democrat Party hack and advisor to Presidential Candidates.
We had a “Chapel Requirement,” which was not onerous to any of the students.
It was a once a week attendance. It is no longer a requirement.
Sadly, the school has lost its place in the list of good, solid institutions that graduate young men and women to become contributors to our nation’s professional ranks and society, in general.

More sad than that, this has been repeated in all states of the nation.

Back when I got my MA at UA in the early 90s, the History Department was mostly liberal but had two conservatives left. The often-published Forrest McDonald and the very maverick Gary Mills were a real presence on the Tuscaloosa campus. Nowadays, to walk through Thatch Hall here at Auburn, and view the political messages on the profs doors, it seems like Berkeley or worse. I don’t think much history gets taught at Thatch.
