For those not familiar with the GI Bill – the program which provides numerous benefits for our veterans when they complete their terms of service – it can be a pretty good deal. It’s undergone several changes over the years (having first evolved in the 40s and 50s) but it’s helped a lot of veterans, including me. One of the most commonly used features aside from home mortgage programs is the education benefit. Veterans can go to school and have significant portions of their tuition covered, allowing for an easier transition to civilian life.
Some of the schools which a small number of veterans are choosing, however, are rather outside the mainstream. (To say the least.) Reveal News has published the results of an investigation into non-accredited schools which receive GI Bill reimbursement funds from taxpayers and at least some of them are rather… questionable.
Iraq War veteran David Rodriguez steps into a softly lit classroom at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco, crosses his legs and sits on a pillow in front of an altar decorated with a rope, a model of a penis and a statue of a Hindu god.
Rodriguez, a retired Navy lieutenant commander who led an engineering battalion that dismantled roadside bombs, is here for a class on “sexual bodywork.” When instruction begins, he will join his classmates in practicing different forms of masturbation.
I’m going to stop the excerpt there because it goes downhill pretty quickly into material we generally don’t publish here. But this school is one example of a non-accredited institution of higher learning which is receiving at least some reimbursements from Uncle Sam and is providing an education which may be of rather dubious usefulness. Further, the guy running the place has some odd views on the accreditation process itself.
Rev. Ted McIlvenna, the school’s president, walks down a narrow hallway cluttered with erotic paintings and sculptures, pornographic magazines and reel after reel of pornographic films.
“This is where we keep the kiddie porn,” he said, pointing at a 10-foot-long locked cabinet. “You have to have a doctorate to open it.”
McIlvenna offered a parting gift: two etchings of naked women, a promotional poster for the 1978 X-rated film “Hot & Saucy Pizza Girls” and a DVD of “Pretty Peaches 2,” a 1987 pornographic film that the institute digitally restored. It includes a rape.
McIlvenna, who has been in business since 1976, says he will never seek accreditation from an organization approved by the Department of Education.
“Accreditation is a bunch of crap,” he said. “They would never let me keep my library.”
There are all sorts of schools on the list, some of which seem far more legitimate and useful than others, but the reader can be the judge for each. Still, some of these outfits and the people who run them should raise some questions as to how much tax money should be heading their way. They include:
– A construction academy whose president has declared bankruptcy twice and been arrested for assault.
– A nursing school whose president has faced five liens for unpaid taxes.
– A commercial trucking program whose president has lodged eight guilty pleas in traffic court, including driving an unregistered vehicle, driving a vehicle without proper inspection and speeding in a school zone.
– A beauty school whose founder has two bankruptcies in four years and served time in prison for vehicular invasion and aggravated robbery.
So how important is accreditation and should it be a requirement for the GI Bill program? I don’t think we want to shut out all private and technical schools which fall outside the government system, but there have to be some standards, right? For what it’s worth, eight members of the Senate have gotten wind of the story and launched an investigation into what’s going on here.
Yet another front in which our government has failed “we the people” .....sigh
Until I read this article, I was not aware that schools for how to masturbate actually existed. Except, of course, any program on how to manage government programs. I learn something new every day.
“When instruction begins, he will join his classmates in practicing different forms of masturbation.”
Whaaa? He’s paying to do a circle jerk in a classroom? Or we are paying, rather?
Well, most liberal arts programs have been teaching mental masturbation for decades, so I suppose physical masturbation was inevitable.
We need to purge
Disgusting!
These are the same sort of programs, taxpayer money was funding in universities, to force Satanism on our youth—pagan ethics in the 90s-—to deliberately destroy moral formation in people to create chaos. It is as St. Augustine said over a thousand years ago, and so did the Ancient Greek Masters: You have as many masters as you have vices.
They have to destroy Virtue in the the young, because that destroys all the children who will be born or killed by these people who have no moral values. The State will raise and shape the minds of the children for political power. (Libido Dominandi—with sexual license, there can only be totalitarianism.)
It is why Montesquieu and our Founders stated that all Just Law has to promote “public virtue” in Republics, otherwise they will collapse.
Cicero stated the same about law that promotes evil and vice. It will collapse culture.
This is why it is essential for “homosexual” marriage to be outlawed-—so that Vice isn’t normalized for our children—pure hyper-sexualization and irrationality in our children (satanic Ethic system) to create little pagan tribal minds——children who are just irrational and group thinkers who will believe any irrational thing, like snow is black, and Slavery is Freedom, and males are females, for the Marxist Utopia of artificial Reality removed from all biological connections and Natural instincts (interchangeable cogs in the wheel) and such ignorant masses of “happy sex slaves” with the intellect of the obamaphone lady. Just happy with crumbs from the elite masters.
No Truth, no Natural Law, no Rule of Law (Higher Law/God’s), no Christian Worldview or Constitution allowed-—that which gave us individual Natural Rights from God and Modern Science and the Age of Reason.
Can’t have profound minds like our Founding Fathers. They wouldn’t be groveling slaves for the State.
I used the GI Bill to learn that I was not disciplined enough to become a physical scientist...which was likely fortunate for physical science.
I became an accountant instead. Now fully retired and loving it.
