H/t weaselzippers
This is getting ‘effin ridiculous. I’m beginning to feel embarrassed for having gone to college and supplementing professor payrolls.
Prof. Beth Leuck - she ran as a Democrat for state Assembly.
A prominent local radio host Mark Belling was talking about this at length a couple of days ago. THIS is what we’re up against with the Walker Derangement Syndrome. Can you imagine giving extra credit for showing up at a Romney rally in 2012?
In my 28 years of college instruction, I have only once given extra credit for something that was unrelated to the class, and that was on September 12, 2001: I offered extra credit for any student who donated blood, or did something equivalent if s/he were medically unable to donate blood.
The reason we lose and they win is because we fight according to our principles, and they fight to win, and damn the principles.
Yet some would doubt the communists are completely embedded in all aspects of American institutions, culture and society.
They are almost in total control; our Constitutional Free Republic is hanging by a just few very thin, frayed, worn and strained threads.
The Walker budget cuts $300 million from the university system in exchange for giving college administrators more control over their spending decisions. That is, he supposedly will be removing some state mandates they’re currently subject to.
That said, the activists in the state university system lean heavily liberal. They shouldn’t be surprised that a GOP-controlled government is going to remove some of their sustenance, taxpayer dollars.
Incidentally, his current budget also calls for an expansion of the Milwaukee voucher program to all public school students, I believe. If successful, the money will follow the student. That change alone could make Wisconsin one of the leading educational systems in the country within a few years, especially if it’s coupled with a change in the ridiculous teacher certification programs where a person has to spend 5 years in college to teach first graders.
This shows that you do not measure I.Q. by adding professor to your title...does anyone have an e-mail address for either her or the institution?
I would hope the first thing the university system colleges would do is junk all their womyn’s, black, queer, etc. studies courses and all the leeches who staff and administer the affirmative discrimination er action offices. They’d save a lot of money there. Won’t happen, but I can dream.
How about getting extra credit for running this nasty looking wench to North Korea...where she can be with her ilk.
If this Nazi hatemonger were my teacher or my kid’s, I’d sue the SS uniform right off him. I’d sue him for so much that he’d spend the rest of his life and his kids’ lives paying for it.
What on earth does a Walker Rally have to do with English? This isn’t political science, it’s English.
The teacher should be summarily FIRED.
Be interesting to see if you still get extra credit if you got to the rally, but show up with a pro-Walker sign.
To her credit, she is at least offering extra credit equally to counter-protesters or even neutral parties. Not sure why this is appropriate for an English class (unless there's a writing component required); it would make more sense from a poli sci standpoint.
