Public schools in the United States

Because of violence, vandalism, and other undesirable elements, this public school has a glaring sign warning of the on-campus surveillance cameras at its parking lot entrance.

Public schools in the United States are government-sponsored institutions intended to indoctrinate children up through 12th grade. The failures of underperforming public schools are a paradigm of socialism, along with landfills and the Canadian health care system. Public schools are generally split into:

• "Grade School" (sometimes called "Elementary School"), usually housing children from pre-kindergarten through 5th (or 6th) grade,
• "Middle School" (sometimes called "Junior High School"), usually housing children from 6th (or 7th) grade through 8th grade, and
• "High School", usually housing children from 9th through 12th grade (the collegiate terms "freshmen", "sophomores", "juniors", and "seniors", representing grades 9, 10, 11, and 12, respectively, are sometimes used as synonyms).

There are also some "Technical Schools" for training in specific skills or careers (the term "magnet school" is common, and is usually oriented toward a specific career requiring a college education).

Schools are arranged into school districts, which generally are independent of city/town, borough/township/county, or other jurisdictions, though they may share common geographical boundaries (such as a city or county). In some areas, a large city may (due to growth into neighboring areas) be served by several districts (this is the case in Texas, where districts are (with one exception) totally independent of cities; most of the major cities are served by many districts, with the district carrying the city's name being the poorest performing and least-desirable for parents).

Public schools have become predominantly liberal and atheistic^{[1][2][3][4][5]} government institutions that employ 3 million people and spend more than $410 billion annually at a cost of more than $10,000 per student. Liberals censor classroom prayer, the Ten Commandments, sharing of faith in classrooms during school hours, and teaching Bible-based morality.^[6][7] Mandatory homosexual indoctrination is common as early as elementary school in more liberal states.^[8] Many public schools have created eSports teams that compete in video game tournaments, wasting taxpayers monies and further diluting their educational "mission"; this has spread to the college sector, and many students will get into college due to their gaming skills rather than any other reason.

The following are characteristics of US public schools:

• 30% of public school students fail to graduate from high school,^[9] and more 40% of minorities fail to graduate;^[10] the real drop-out rate may be 50%.^[11]
• Nearly 70% of students leave high school unqualified to attend four-year college, and many are unable to hold a steady job.^[9]
• A 2007 study funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that 77% of students between eighth and 12th grade had used illicit drugs.^[12] Fatal overdoses are common but underreported.^[13] Public schools are required to present "drug education" to students.
• More than 60% of public school teenagers (in one regional study) watch more than 3 hours of television a day, compared with a national average of 35%^[14]
• About half of the viable pregnancies among girls attending public school end in abortions and about half end in birth. Public schools "educate" kids about sex.^[15]
• "About 160,000 students miss school daily because they fear being bullied," and students viciously fight each other and post videos of it on YouTube.com.^[16]
• 20% of students had been dangerously "binge drinking" in the previous 30 days, and 50% of seniors regularly drink illegally, according to a 2007 study of Ottawa County, Michigan.^[17][18]
• 10-20% of students become addicted to cigarettes^[18][19]
• More than 10% of public high schools have a homosexual student club.
• The majority of public school students are completely ignorant about the Bible, even as history and literature
• 35% of students are overweight.
• Health screening of public schools in Memphis, Tennessee, found that nearly 10% of students have mental health problems.
• California public schools, largest in the nation, now rank at the bottom in academic achievement.
• Public schools are among the main locations where socialism is promoted.^[20]

History

Religious origins

In 1647, Massachusetts Puritans enacted the second law, after Scotland in 1616,^[21] establishing universal public schools in the English-speaking world to block the attempts by "ould deluder Satan to keepe men from the whole knowledge of the Scriptures".^[22] Each settlement larger than 50 families was required to pay a schoolmaster to teach reading, writing and religious doctrine to the children in the community. Beginning in 1670, Massachusetts provided tax funding for school maintenance. This model was then copied throughout the colonies, and even throughout the world.

Curricula used

According to Noah Webster, "the books used were chiefly or whole Dilworth's Spelling Books, the Psalter, Testament and Bible".^[23] Other sources such as the U.S. Office of Education note the following books used: The ABC, the Horn Book, the New England Primer, the Bible, Catechisms, and the Psalters.^[24]

The New England Primer is of particular note given its widespread use over such a long period of time.^[25] The Primer, also known as The Little Bible, was in use in schools for over 150 years.^[26]

Importation of the Prussian model

In the mid 19th century, Horace Mann, an early education reformer, studied the methods of Prussian Education and brought them back to the United States. According to John Dewey:

Mann would travel to Prussia in 1843 to visit the schools and study them.^[28]

Secularization

According to historian Ellwood Cubberly:

John Dewey regarded Horace Mann as the "patron saint of progressive education."^[30]

20th century

Many children did not attend public school for the first two centuries. It was not until 1852 that Massachusetts became the first state to require attendance^[31] by students aged 6 through 16, and it was not until 1918 that all states had compulsory attendance laws. High schools did not generally exist until after the Civil War, and the first American kindergarten didn't exist until 1856 in Watertown, Wisconsin.

Improvement of early childhood education

Many public schools have launched pre-kindergarten programs for 3 and 4-year-old children. Some states have shifted from half-day kindergartens to programs that match the school day schedule of the other grades. Currently, 14 states and the District of Columbia require full-day kindergarten.

Research has demonstrated the importance of testing third graders for reading ability. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia require non-proficient readers to repeat third grade if they fail a reading test.

Historically, early childhood education focused on reading and writing. However, the research shows that young children's minds are receptive to math and logic. So public schools are adding Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM Education) to the lower grades.^[32]

Views on morals

In response to increasing violence in public schools, public schools are installing security devices such as metal detectors and bullet-proof glass

So-called "character education"

In response to the perception that public schools have stopped teaching morality, many state education departments have or are in the process of developing "morality" that avoid good and evil, right and wrong, and instead present under the heading of "character" education.^[33] The lack of appreciation for right and wrong can surprise outsiders, and even school principals. When one public school student was charged with felony computer crime for altering the grades of 20 students, the principal said, we "want to teach them what's right and wrong, and it's tough for some kids to catch on to the idea that changing grades is the wrong thing to do."^[34] The impact of the removal of morality from the public school curriculum (which is also used in private schools) is that "more than one in three boys (35 percent) and one-fourth of the girls (26 percent) — a total of 30 percent overall — admitted stealing from a store within the past year."^[35] Liberal politicians are the most frequent opponents of initiatives designed to build moral fiber in the public school system, with organizations like the ACLU and teacher's unions devoting a significant amount of their resources towards this end. In 2010, a school board in North Dakota decided to change the name of their mascot from the "Satans." Liberals unrolled a large-scale media campaign that blanketed the district with pro-Satan propaganda in an attempt to keep the name, but they were unsuccessful.^[36]

Prayer

See also: Classroom prayer

The White House announced the release of Revised Religious Guidelines for America's Public Schools on May 29, 1998. Within this announcement, President Clinton stated, "Nothing in the First Amendment converts our public schools into religion-free zones, or requires all religious expression to be left behind at the school house door."—President Clinton, July 12, 1998^[37]

In 2003, the Education Department released the following guidelines that clarified and added requirements to Public Schools to ensure the religious rights of students.^[38]

Schools that don’t allow students to pray outside the classroom or that prohibit teachers from holding religious meetings among themselves could lose federal money, the Education Department said late last week.

The guidance reflects the Bush administration’s push to ensure that schools give teachers and students as much freedom to pray as the courts have allowed.
The department makes clear that teachers cannot pray with students or attempt to shape their religious views. The instructions, released by the department on Feb. 7, broadly follow the same direction given by the Clinton administration and the courts. Prayer is generally allowed provided it happens outside the class and is initiated by students, not by school officials.

The department, however, also offered some significant additions, including more details on such contentious matters as moments of silence and prayer in student assemblies. And for the first time, federal funds are tied to compliance with the guidelines. The burden is on schools to prove compliance through a yearly report.

Teaching the Bible in public schools

The National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools^[39] (NCBCPS) provides a program for teaching the Bible in public schools. Currently, the NCBCPS's Bible curriculum has been voted into 462 school districts (over 1,900 high schools) in 38 states. Over 210,000 students have already taken this course nationwide, on the high school campus, during school hours, for credit.

However, many public schools suffer from a liberal bias, resulting in policies opposed the Bible and Christianity, while topics favored by leftists, such as other religions or the homosexual agenda, are promoted.

Teaching of Islam in the public schools

Public school textbooks have been found to be portraying Islam in a positive light. Some world history textbooks in Florida claim Muslims profess to worship the same God as Christians and Jews, women historically had more rights in the Islamic world than the Christian world, and Jihad is not a violent movement, among other falsehoods. These lies have caused patriots some areas of the state to complain to local school boards, but not much has been done by the boards to actually remove the Islamic propaganda.

In California seventh grade social studies classes, students analyze the geographic, political, economic, religious, and social structures of the civilizations of Islam in the Middle Ages. Hence, Islam is one of eleven units taught in the class.^[40][41] In addition, a San Diego school district worked with CAIR to add "anti-Islamophobia" classes.^[42]

Censorship

Public schools enforce liberal ideology through aggressive censorship of right-wing and conservative students, including for speech or conduct occurring off school grounds. Conservatives, as well as some libertarian organizations, have challenged instances of school censorship under well-established legal precedent protecting free speech against all state actors, including public schools.^[43]

Gender disparity

Public schools as of late have seen girls' scores soar above boys' because schools have been geared toward the needs of girls and schools seek to emasculate boys by preventing healthy roughhousing and having psychiatrists prescribe boys drugs such as Ritalin. Then boys often come to hate school because radical feminists seek to prevent men from being men and forcing males to go through counseling to "discuss their feelings" and other liberal values treating all students as if they were female. Colleges, because of this trend, see a trend of 60/40 female to male ratio because of feminist drivel such as romance novels in literature and ineffective therapy and attempts to push feminine traits on boys and young men making them frustrated and fed up with the system unless they agree to the school's desire to become effeminate.

Schools commonly suspend students for defending themselves from violent bullying, even though that is illegal under the laws of all 50 states which protect the right to self-defense.

Liberal ideology has also eliminated most male role models in public schools, such that less than a quarter of the teachers are men now.^[44]

In areas on such standardized tests as ACT and SAT, girls have typically scored higher in areas such as mathematics and science. Colleges have become majority female, and the feminization of men is strong on college campuses with events that openly advocate female superiority. Females are also intent on emasculating males by forcing them to see "chick flicks" and concerts of female singers which also promote feminist nonsense, strongly continuing a trend that begins in high school which results in a large number of males taking up historically female programs such as psychology and nursing; this begins in school where teachers and administrators teach boys and girls to be girls and not only condone but encourage such emasculation which only continues throughout the boys' lives as learned behaviors are strongest during the crucial formative years these boys are in school.

Most U.S. public schools receive federal funding. Those that do are subject to Title IX which among other things requires equal access to extra curricular activities and sports.

Suppression and intolerance of alternative views

Several courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, which frequently engage in judicial activism, have ruled that teaching creationism^[45] and intelligent design in public schools is unconstitutional because they claim that such teachings would amount to a government establishment of religion, which is prohibited by the First Amendment.^[46] Hypocritically, nothing has been done to remove the religions of Secular Humanism and Islam from the schools.

Educational outcomes

Declining literacy

Since the rapid expansion and liberalization of public schools after World War II, students' literacy levels have dropped significantly. While the average 14-year-old had a vocabulary of 25,000 words in 1945, the equivalent student in 2000 had a vocabulary of only 10,000 words, a severe disadvantage in an increasingly textual world.^[47]

Liberal bias in textbooks

See also: Textbook bias

Textbooks (K-12) have been systematically analyzed in a study funded by the U.S. government. The 1986 findings were that massive, systematic liberal bias exists, resulting in several information blackouts in four key areas of modern American life—marriage, religion, politics, and business. While an actual conspiracy was then ruled out, the cause was found to be a "a very widespread secular and liberal mindset" pervading "the leadership in the world of education [and textbook publishing]".^[48]

Professor Larry Schwikart, of the University of Dayton, wrote a book about biased textbooks. False claims common in those texts included that the Founding Fathers wanted a "wall of separation" between church and state, that "Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation only because he needed black soldiers", and that "Mikhail Gorbachev, not Ronald Reagan, was responsible for ending the Cold War".^[49]

Evidence for bias in school textbooks includes promotion of Homosexual agenda, support of liberal viewpoint, as well as support of the unproven theory of evolution. Most Biology textbooks do not provide the Creationist viewpoint a chance, or even a second thought.

Non-Dismissal of tenured teachers

Due to the strength of the nation's teachers' union, it is nearly impossible to fire a bad performing teacher with tenure. The process can take years and involves countless steps to even attempt. The union claims that the protections are needed against arbitrary and malicious lawsuits.

The New York public schools system has approximately 700 teachers accused of insubordination to sexual misconduct. They remain in seclusion from the classroom but are paid full salaries until their cases are heard, sometimes from months to years later. All because their union contract makes it extremely difficult to fire them.^[50]

Professor values

Professor values refer to the common value system embraced by a large percentage of professors, just as Hollywood values refers to the common value system of many in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Professor values are currently one of the most prevalent forms of liberal indoctrination. Toronto professor Jordan Peterson, who had a teaching stint at Harvard, was asked if you should still send your kids off to college. His response was "Send them to trade school," and "I think you can make the case that universities do more harm than good now." ^[1]

An extremely high percentage of professors disagree with conservative principles, but very few replace them with the discredited philosophy of postmodernism.^[2] Professors' common value system typically includes anti-Christian politics, censorship, socialism, unjustified claims of expertise and knowledge (for example, the dogmatic promotion of the theory of evolution^[3]), liberal beliefs, liberal grading, liberal bias,^[4] historical revisionism, anti-patriotism, anti-Americanism, lack of productivity, bullying or discouraging conservative students (for example, homeschoolers),^[5] and promotion of sexual immorality.^[6] Although a majority of academics believe in God, a disproportionate percentage of academics are atheists compared to the general public (see: Atheism and academia).

Such attitudes are also shared by educators in the public education system from grade school through high school, and even by members of public school boards who take an elitist attitude toward parents of the children being indoctrinated with those same beliefs (particularly the promotion of sexual immorality and the encouragement of experimenting with homosexuality) by liberal educators.^{[7][8][9][10]} These same educators, knowing that what they are doing is wrong, go out of their way to deliberately hide the truth from their students' parents, who they know would not support what they do in the classrooms and would call for the resignation or firing of the offending teachers and school board officials who support them; to that end, liberal elitist school boards stand up for the teachers and the professor values they support by ignoring parents' complaints, denying any wrongdoing to them, attempting (by means of deceit and disinformation) to discredit any information on educator wrongdoing uncovered by parents,^[11] blocking their inquiries and even resorting to intimidation and making outrageous false accusations^[10] and criminal threats against them (and later denying making such threats when publicly called out on them afterward)^[12] in an attempt to silence parental opposition to what are clearly illegal actions against underaged students.

An excellent example of academics going beyond their expertise is the example of the cryonics movement. Cryonics is a pseudoscience that tries to extend life or achieve immortality in a non-theistic way after a person is legally dead (Cryonic procedures are performed shortly after a person's death).^[13] Robert Ettinger was an atheist and American academic who some consider to be "the father of cryonics" because of the impact of his 1962 book The Prospect of Immortality.^[14] Isaac Asimov was a popular American science fiction writer and a professor of biochemistry at Boston University. He was also an atheist.^[15] According to The Cryonics Society, Asimov said of cryonics, "Though no one can quantify the probability of cryonics working, I estimate it is at least 90%..."^[16] See: Atheism and cryonics

In a Zogby poll, 58% of Americans said that the bias of professors is a serious problem, while 39% said it is a "very serious" problem.^[17] The survey demonstrated further that "an overwhelming majority also believe that job security for college professors leaves them less motivated to do a good job than those professors who do not enjoy a tenured status—65% said they believe non-tenured professors are more motivated to do a good job in the classroom."^[17] One study in 2008 found that "Texas university professors overwhelmingly favor Democratic candidates in their campaign contributions,"^[18] and a survey in 2018 found that 88% of Harvard professors thought Donald Trump did a "very poor" job as President.^[19]

Professors rarely engage in wrongdoing while completing research. "About 1,000 potential incidents of fabrication, falsification or plagiarism in scientific research go unreported every year, according to a survey that suggests such misconduct is far more prevalent than suspected....[A]bout 22 percent was by a professor or senior scientist."^[20]

Indoctrination

For a more detailed treatment, see Liberal indoctrination.

Progressives have long believed that America and Western beliefs are problematic, and have written as much. One such professor proudly proclaimed that "The canon of great literature was created by high Anglican assholes to underwrite their social class."^[22] Professors have played a large role in promoting socialist values.^[23]

Free speech

During the McCarthy era, academia prided itself on resisting attempts to restrict the rights of professors to advocate for Communism or other positions unpopular with the general public. However, in the 21st Century, faculty are not allowed to make statements that could be viewed as potentially making some students uncomfortable. So, minority students hold faculty into account for "microaggressions" or the failure to make "trigger warnings" if course material deals with topics that some students may find offensive. Universities and their staffs are expected to create "safe spaces" where minority students can exchange their pre-conceived notions about issues without being exposed to contrary viewpoints. These politically correct imperatives take priority over any concern for freedom of speech and/or academic freedom.

• Campuses create “safe spaces” where students can shelter from discombobulating thoughts and receive spiritual balm for the trauma of microaggressions. [1]

For example, at the University of Virginia, Douglas Muir, an executive lecturer in the Engineering School and the Darden Business School, had used his personal Facebook account to respond to a post about a lecture given by a co-founder of the Black lives matter movement. He wrote, "Black lives matter is the biggest racist group since the clan. Are you kidding me. Disgusting!!!"^[24] The BLM students protested, and the Dean at first issued a statement saying that Muir's views do not represent the University and later announced that Muir was asked to take a leave of absence. After the leave of absence was announced, the local NAACP still asked that Muir be fired.

At Cornell University, historically white fraternities (which are not allowed to discriminate based on race or religion) are suspended for even minor violations involving underage drinking. However, when Omega Psi Phi, a historically black fraternity, held a party that ended in a fatal knife fight, no disciplinary action was taken against the fraternity or individuals. Also at Cornell, which has never been racially segregated and was not built with slave labor, black student activists have demanded that the "Cornell Plantations" a garden that has held that name since its founding more than a century ago, be renamed because the word "Plantations" evokes associations with pre-Civil War slavery.

In contrast, at the start of the fall 2016 semester, the University of Chicago sent a letter to incoming students denouncing political correctness and "trigger warnings." The letter stated, "You will find that we expect members of our community to be engaged in rigorous debate, discussion, and even disagreement. At times this may challenge you and even cause discomfort."^[25] The American Association of University Professors issued a policy statement against trigger warnings in August 2014. It states in part:

At Evergreen State College, in 2017 a group sought to dramatize the important role that minorities played on campus by having all white students and staff absent themselves from campus for a day, and then have a day discussing racial unity the next day. One white biology professor objected to being forced off campus, which drew threats of violence. When the campus police said that they could not guarantee his safety, he held his class (for both white and minority students) in an off-campus park. Subsequently, minority students continued to demonstrate to demand his resignation or dismissal. He is still on the faculty but is considering a lawsuit.

Poor performance and often failing to meet the needs of society

See also: Academia and intellectual development

Presently, there appears to be a higher education bubble that will burst.^[27] In addition, college is clearly not delivering the goods in terms of intellectual development for a large percentage of its students. An American study found that forty-five percent of students achieved no significant improvement in their critical thinking, reasoning or writing skills during their first two years of college. After four years, 36 percent displayed no significant increases in these so-called "higher order" thinking skills.^[28] Students, particularly those who made poor curriculum choices, are increasingly angry that college does not adequately prepare them for the marketplace and leaves them with a pile of debt.^[29]

Politicizing hiring

In 2013, a study found that academia was less likely to hire evangelical Christians due to discriminatory attitudes.^[30] See also: Atheism and intolerance

Faculty boards have been known to (on multiple occasions) block the granting of a tenured professorship to candidates for tenure who:

• criticize the theory of evolution^[31]
• criticize feminism
• criticize abortion
• oppose the homosexual agenda
• criticize the global warming hoax
• criticize the liberal bias in academia itself
• profess a Christian faith (see: Atheism and academia)
• endorse the mere investigation of Intelligent Design

For example, professors at Washington University wore white armbands to protest an award of an honorary degree to Phyllis Schlafly, a noted conservative, in an act of political partisanship and utter unprofessionalism.^[32] At the University of Chicago, more than one hundred professors signed a letter to protest a proposal to honor conservative-leaning Nobel Prize-winning colleague Milton Friedman.^[33]

Politicians are routinely given high-ranking academic positions. Examples include:

• Al Gore^[34]
• Alexander Downer^[35]
• Michael Dukakis
• Gary Hart
• Bob Kerrey
• John Edwards^[36]
• Tony Blair^[37]
• Tom Kean
• David Boren
• Donna E. Shalala^[38]
• Marty Meehan^[39]
• William M. Bulger (brother of the noted organized crime figure and fugitive Whitey Bulger)^[40]

• The head of the Economics Department at Bard College, 54-year-old Professor Kristie Feder, was arrested on drug charges on November 14, 2008 "after State Police found 16 marijuana plants growing in her home ... ranging in size from eighteen inches to seven feet."^[49]

• Sociology professor Hassan Diab was arrested for his involvement in the 1980 terrorist bombing of a synagogue which killed four.^[50]

• A college professor accused of intercepting the e-mail of a student with whom he had an affair pleaded not guilty to the charges. Stephan Grzeskowiak, 34, entered the plea.

He is accused of intercepting e-mails and instant messages on a computer used by the woman in May 2007.^[51]

• "Vanderbilt University professor James J. Lang was arrested [on a] Friday evening in Fairview on a charge of receipt of child pornography."^[52]

He had worked in the Clinton Administration and was driving his new BMW when stopped for the third time.^[53]

• University of Iowa political science professor "Arthur H. Miller, 66, [was] accused of demanding sexual favors from students in exchange for better grades .... He was arrested on four counts of bribery, a class C felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison ...."^[54] After being released without bail, Miller then disappeared and police wasted thousands of dollars looking for him.^[55] Later his body was found in a park. "He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound."^[56]

• Arkansas Tech University chemistry professor Albert Snow, 33 years old, was sentenced to 10 years in jail "on a charge he stalked a person he believed was a teenage girl on the Internet ... Snow was arrested in January 2007 after showing up at a Russellville apartment complex where police say he expected to meet a 15-year-old girl."^[57]

• At Northern Kentucky University, language and literature professor Sally Jacobsen incited some of her students to vandalize a pro-life display by Northern Right to Life, the campus pro-life group. Jacobsen herself also participated in the vandalism, which involved destroying rows of white crosses symbolizing the graves of aborted children. Jacobsen justified the vandalism as free speech, stating, "I did, outside of class during the break, invite students to express their freedom-of-speech rights to destroy the display if they wished to." Jacobsen was unrepentant until given the choice of facing criminal charges of theft, criminal mischief and criminal solicitation or apologizing. She chose the latter and also paid Northern Right to Life for damage to the display. Jacobsen was suspended by the university and subsequently retired.^[58]

• College of New Jersey adjunct professor of engineering Bruce R. McKenna, 43, "surrendered to authorities after allegedly having sexually explicit conversations with an undercover officer posing as a teenage girl." He was "charged with six counts of attempting to endanger the welfare of a child, six counts of attempted sexual contact, sexual assault and attempted luring. ... Before McKenna was arrested, the situation escalated to the point where the professor was allegedly trying to meet with a 13-year-old girl."^[59]

• A South Korean court sentenced a former university art professor to 18 months in jail for forging her US degree certificates, officials said.

• Kansas State University English professor Thomas Murray was a popular teacher, but he was convicted of murdering his ex-wife with 17 stab wounds and blunt trauma to her head. She "was found dead in her bedroom atop a dresser."^[62] Professor Murray had written several books, including "The Language of Sadomasochism."^[62] He did not testify in his defense and spoke only at sentencing, where he called the state's case a "fairy tale."^[63]

• Shortly after the end of the school year and his contract, Marshall University Psychiatry associate professor John M. Adams burglarized and murdered Bobby Burns on July 2, 2003, and then kidnapped two women and forced them to drive him across the Ohio River.^[64]

• University of South Florida professor Sami al-Arian pled guilty to "aiding a terrorist group" and was "sentenced to 57 months in prison."^[65] He then "spent more than a year in civil contempt after refusing to appear before two grand juries investigating Islamic charities in Northern Virginia."^[66]

• Simone de Beauvoir, in 1943, was charged with abducting Nathalie Sorokine, a minor and one of her best students, by Nathalie's parents. Although her abducting a minor would have resulted in a jail sentence, mutual friends of Beauvoir intervened and she was acquitted, although she nonetheless had her teaching license revoked and was banned from ever teaching again within France's borders.^[82]

• Michel Foucault, during the January 1969 Student Protests at the University of Vincennes in France, proceeded to "gleefully" throw stones at the police trying to control the riot. He was also one of the few faculty members to participate actively in the protests alongside the students.^[83]

• Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin, astrophysicist, retired Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, and producer of the most popular physics video lectures on MIT OpenCourseWare. There is some controversy about these videos because a 32-year-old French married woman, Faïza Harbi, suffering from psychological disorders watched some of them and was pressured by Lewin to send him some naked selfies.^[84] MIT apparently had some concerns that this caused a Title IX violation, and cut ties with Lewin and the videos.

Immoral, unethical, or bizarre behavior

• James Boster, a professor of anthropology at the University of Connecticut, became unhinged and angrily shouted at a campus, open-air, Christian preacher in a crude and ignorant rant (See Video^[85]). The incident was so embarrassing for the university that they felt compelled to denounce Boster's behavior.^[86]

• Thirty-two hundred educators, most of them professors, signed a letter supporting unrepentant domestic terrorist and fellow professor William Ayers (a protege of Obama). They claimed Ayers' bombing of the Pentagon and other government buildings, his direct involvement in at least three deaths, were just "history." Notable signers included Professor Rashid Khalidi (No. 5), known for his call to destroy Israel, and the above-mentioned Ward Churchill (No. 814). George Leef, director of research for the John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy, Raleigh, North Carolina, said, "History should be important to teachers."^[87]

• American history professor at the Massachusetts College of Art, Noel Ignatiev says, “If you are a white male, you don’t deserve to live...."^[88]

• Associate Professor David Guth of the University of Kansas journalism school says that NRA family members' children should die in the next mass shooting as divine retribution.^[89]

• In 2009, Central Connecticut State University student John Wahlberg gave an in-class presentation on gun control, pointing out that if students were permitted to carry concealed weapons on campus, school shootings could be more easily stopped. Wahlberg's professor, Paula Anderson, complained to campus police, who interrogated him about the location of all his firearms.^[92]

• Arthur Butz, professor of electrical engineering at Northwestern University, is a prominent Holocaust denier. His most infamous book is The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, one of the first major works of Holocaust denial written in English.^[93]

• A Texas Southern University professor was investigated for allegedly plagiarizing his grant proposal.^[94]

• The President of the University of Texas-Pan American is under investigation after allegations that she plagiarized her 1974 dissertation.^[95]

• An Iowa community college president resigned after publication of a photo that appeared to show him pouring beer into a young woman's mouth. But the school's board of trustees approved a severance package that officials said was valued at about $400,000 plus benefits.^[96]

• A Kansas university professor, Fort Hays State University debate coach William Shanahan, came "under fire after a video showing him mooning a room full of students and faculty during a heated debate found its way onto YouTube." He "is shown on the video in a profane, in-your-face argument with his counterpart from the University of Pittsburgh ...."^[97]

• Emory University History Professor of History Michael Bellesiles, a gun control advocate, wrote a book entitled Arming America, The Origins of a National Gun Culture (2000). Gary Wills gave it a glowing review in The New York Times, but admitted later that "I was took. The book is a fraud."^[98] Bellesiles resigned from his position as Professor of History when an independent committee of scholars examined his work and concluded that "his scholarly integrity is seriously in question."^[99]

• According to one columnist, 88 Duke University professors—more than 10 percent of the Duke professorial faculty—endorsed and published an advertisement hurtful to the 3 students who had been wrongly accused of rape during a lacrosse team party, which "helped create the lynch-mob atmosphere."^[100]

• When student Rebecca Beach circulated an email at Warren Community College in New Jersey disclosing that decorated Iraq war hero Lt. Col. Scott Rutter would be visiting, English professor John Daly replied: "Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors." Young America's Foundation later placed Beech on Fox News's Hannity and Colmes to expose this and other intolerant e-mail. The resulting outrage ultimately forced Daly to resign and for the president to issue an apology, stating that faculty would now be required to undergo free speech sensitivity training from now on.^[101]

• Ward Churchill was fired from the University of Colorado for fabricating his research and for plagiarizing the work of others. He had falsely claimed to be of Native American descent in applying for the post. Previously, he had infamously insulted the victims of 9/11 as 'Little Eichmanns.'^[102]

• Richard Lenski of Michigan State University was rude and demeaning when replying to a member of the public who asked about his research.

• When challenged to provide data, professors who push evolutionism on the public evade the question.^[103]

• Madonna Constantine, a New York City Columbia University professor claimed she was the victim of racism in the fall of 2007 when a noose was found on her office door. She was later fired for plagiarizing the work of other professors and even her own students.^[104]

• Vulgar and viciously bigoted anti-religion (mainly Christianity) University of Minnesota Morris professor and blogger PZ Myers infamously raised the hackles of Catholics by stating his desire to desecrate a Holy Communion wafer (viewed by Catholics as the Body of Christ).^[105] The resultant outcry from Catholics resulted in the university removing all links to Myers' blog from their website.^[106] Myers has also stated that he is looking forward to the death of George W. Bush so he can travel to Texas and urinate on Bush's grave.^[107]

• Professors engage in grade inflation, giving their students artificially high grades—whether they deserve them or not. In addition, classes have been dumbed down at most universities and require much less work than previously.

• On August 7, 2009, the above-mentioned PZ Myers visited Answers in Genesis' Creation Museum in Kentucky with a large group of students. During the visit, the 52-year-old eagerly climbed atop a saddled kiddie dinosaur meant for souvenir pictures of children 12 and under. To complete his buffoonery, PZ borrowed a cowboy hat.^[108]

• A Boston University professor was dismissed after sexually harassing a colleague and several students. In his defense, he claimed his medication made him do it.^[109]

• Jean-Paul Sartre committed a lot of polygamy, often seducing many of his own female students while in a relationship with Simone de Beauvoir, often having the latter procure several girls for him to seduce. This behavior was common enough that he became dangerously well known for it by the early 1940s, with Robert Francis, in a hostile criticism of Sartre's play Huis clos, specifically remarking on this behavior by writing "We all know Monsieur Sartre. He is an odd philosophy teacher who has specialized in the study of his students' underwear."^[110] He also wrote various letters after his womanizing that were vulgar in the description of their sexual relationships. He also frequently did false proposals to marriage to various women, including de Beauvoir. He also largely supported Stalinist Russia and was also responsible for referring to Argentine Marxist-terrorist/revolutionary Che Guevara as "the most complete human being to have ever existed."

• Simone de Beauvoir acted as a procuress for Sartre for his various sexual escapades. She also has done a threesome sexual relationship where she and Sartre secretly mocked the woman behind her back. She also has been rumored to have molested several of her own students, also being brought to charges with one of them, Sorokine. She also wrote in her book L'Invitée the murder of Olga Kosakiewicz as a means to convey her hate of Olga for her relationship with Sartre.^[82]

• Michel Foucault frequently told his students to go out and take risks on a limb, with neither questions nor answers. In addition, he frequently did LSD, drugs, various forms of sadomasochism, and homosexuality, the latter of which landed him with AIDS, and his infecting countless others during the final years of his life.^[83]

• Nicholas de Genova, an assistant professor of anthropology and Latina/o studies at Columbia University, made comments denouncing the American military and American patriotism in 2003. After being given negative responses from various people, Genova reiterated his statements, and has even implied he advocated in the name of self-determination having "a million more Mogadishus" regarding the then-recently occurring Iraq War, and has considered Vietnam a "victory for human self-determination," and has also implied that he's for "America" as in the continents, not the actual USA.^[111]

Intolerance

Intolerance is a common trait among the almost exclusively liberal professors in modern American colleges, who cannot seem to accept that alternative viewpoints to their own even exist, let alone are held by their more intelligent students. Examples include:

• Censorship of any mention of creation science in any biology class
• A recent professor quit his role as adviser to a conservative group at Texas A&M University, opposing their justified opposition to the tactics of terrorist William Ayers^[112]
• Refusing to acknowledge that gun control always increases crime
• Intolerance of any questioning of their beliefs, even (especially) while forcing them upon their students
• Intolerance of academic accountability, believing that being granted tenure ensures they can do whatever they want for the rest of their careers, and that they have a right to keep their jobs no matter what.
• Opposition to drug testing, even though parents have a right to know if their children are being taught by criminals and addicts.

Are professor values a crime against humanity?

• Time magazine's Atomic deacon William G. Pollard has pointed out how professors victimize students, robbing them from experiencing the supernatural and transcendent world (i.e., God):

"Throughout the whole wide range and diversity of human experience, with the sole exception of the West in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the world of nature has been alive with, and immersed within, a supernatural world which everywhere made contact with it, although was transcendent to it. It is this whole dimension of reality which the scientific age has lost the capacity to experience or know. An age such as ours which has lost a genuine capacity for knowing and responding to some great segment of reality is actually, without knowing it, in a dark age.... We really have lost a genuine capacity which the rest of mankind has possessed and actively exercised, and we have become a people trapped and in bondage within the prison of space, time, and matter....It is primarily the business of the university...to maintain the imprisonment of our time. It saddens me to see a new generation being victimized by this all pervasive spirit of the epoch."^[113]

Professor values and bestiality

Professor PZ Myers said, "I don’t object to bestiality in a very limited set of specific conditions...".^[114] When asked what conditions were acceptable for bestially to be morally acceptable, Myers was silent.^[114]

See also: Academia and bestiality and Atheism and bestiality

The atheist philosopher Peter Singer defends the practice of bestiality (as well as abortion, infanticide and euthanasia). Despite holding these immoral views the liberal and pro-evolution academic establishment rewarded his views with a bioethics chair at Princeton University.^[115] Peter Singer was installed as the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University in 1999 and in 2006 it was reported that he still worked part-time in that capacity.^[116] In 2006, it was also reported that Singer worked part-time as Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne in the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics since 2005.^[116]

Professor PZ Myers, an atheist and evolutionist, said, "I don’t object to bestiality in a very limited set of specific conditions...".^[114] When asked what conditions were acceptable for bestially to be morally acceptable, Myers was silent.^[114]

     To the Editor: Spectator, now for the second time in less than a year, has succeeded to quote me in a remarkably decontextualized and inflammatory manner. In Margaret Hunt Gram's report on the faculty teach-in against the war in Iraq (March 27, 2003), I am quoted as wishing for a million Mogadishus but with no indication whatsoever of the perspective that framed that remark. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that your Staff Editorial in the same issue, denouncing the teach-in for "dogmatism," situates me in particular as the premier example of an academic "launching tirades against anything and everything American." In my brief presentation, I outlined a long history of U.S. invasions, wars of conquest, military occupations, and colonization in order to establish that imperialism and white supremacy have been constitutive of U.S. nation-state formation and U.S. nationalism. In that context, I stressed the necessity of repudiating all forms of U.S. patriotism. I also emphasized that the disproportionate majority of U.S. troops come from racially subordinated and working-class backgrounds and are in the military largely as a consequence of a treacherous lack of prospects for a decent life. Nonetheless, I emphasized that U.S. troops are indeed confronted with a choice--to perpetrate this war against the Iraqi people or to refuse to fight and contribute toward the defeat of the U.S. war machine. I also affirmed that Iraqi liberation can only be effected by the Iraqi people themselves, both by resisting and defeating the U.S. invasion as well as overthrowing a regime whose brutality was long sustained by none other than the U.S. Such an anti-colonial struggle for self-determination might involve a million Mogadishus now but would ultimately have to become something more like another Vietnam. Vietnam was a stunning defeat for U.S. imperialism; as such, it was also a victory for the cause of human self-determination. Is this a tirade against "anything and everything American"? Far from it. First, I hasten to remind you that "American" refers to all of the Americas, not merely to the United States, as U.S. imperial chauvinism would have it. More importantly, my rejection of U.S. nationalism is an appeal to liberate our own political imaginations such that we might usher in a radically different world in which we will not remain the prisoners of U.S. global domination.
