Always stirring the pot, aren’t you, lol? Eastern NC pork barbecue is awesome when prepared correctly, let me just go on record with that. I haven’t met too many styles of barbecue that I dislike. The only one I can think of involves mustard and emanates from Baja Carolina.

"when the next big war comes you will be surprised how patriotic Americans will become"

nonsense...first of all we can have no more wars because we have so few men with testosterone and knowhow...we have two generations of mamby pamby boys who play video games and date girls on the computer for sex....

second of all, the only patriotism is any that will shown is when most of us are jailed....then they'll all cheer...

Why didn’t they just all walk out? That would be more effective then bitching and crying. Good grief make a real statement. Walk out.

“...of the 19?”

I don’t know. I didn’t realize there were 19 that participated until I read the apology letter. I think the original article said “several”.

19...that’s a LOT of stupid.

“He also affirmed “the rights of our students, staff and faculty to express their personal views.”

Not on the taxpayers dime, they don’t. They can cram their their sticky little personal views down their throats sideways. No one is interested in their freaky personal views.

On a positive note, I took my youngest Grand Daughter to school this morning...7 years old...We were about 15 minutes late...When we entered the office there were about 5 other kids who were also late...

Before they were allowed out of the office to go to their classrooms, one of the office personnel had them turn around, put their hand over their hearts and recite the Pledge of Allegiance to The Flag of The United States of America...

I told them thank you as I was pretty proud of the school...

"The Dean of Students should have placed them all on probation if not expulsion."

Or, at least, double-secret probation!

And I, for one, am not going to sit here and let you badmouth the United States of America! Gentlemen!

when the next big war comes you will be surprised how patriotic Americans will become—even Liberals

Cherry, you are right. We were attacked by Islam on 9-11 and there was about 5 days of unity followed by liberals attacking the war, the president and the troops, ceaselessly, giving hope to the enemy and leading to casualties by our forces. They coddled our enemy and feared our patriots. It has gotten worse over time since then.

Most of the older universities were the projects of specific church denominations. These schools quickly began to play out the Protestant dynamic on an intellectual level, serving as a sort of radical vanguard for their day and age, while the rest of the culture, although caught up in the same dynamic, tended to lag behind academe since it wasn't in a hurry to push the dynamic toward its endgame ("building the kingdom of God on earth," "pushing knowledge wherever it may take us", all in the absence of an openly unifying principle.)

This dynamic was embedded with a crisis of authority; any claim regarding an overarching purpose, any statement of a unifying principle could be trumped by an appeal to personal sovereignty -- the political aspect of the Protestant dynamic to which the philosophical aspects are subordinated. So the whole thing was bound to be revolutionary. This revolution happened to play out in stages.

When many of the universities became businesses or tools of government, that was a pivotal step in the long process of incremental revolutions. The crisis of authority persists -- there is no one willing to "displease the entitlement brats", as you say. There is no one to identify or nominate an explicit authority empowered to fix the problem, because the old dynamic will instantly shoot it down. So the entitlement brats, or rather the government who manipulates them, are the de facto authority.
