The liberal dumbdown continues!

Title IX shouldn't be used as an academic weapon: "But they are conducting a review of math, physics and engineering programs at selected universities to root out supposed bias against women and girls. Their weapon is Title IX, which 'is not just related to sports,' says Stephanie Monroe, assistant secretary of Education for civil rights. 'We're in the process right now of putting together our dockets.' She assures us that these Title IX reviews are just business as usual for her department. "
If the Education Department and National Science Foundation were strictly to impose Title IX compliance standards on academic science, we could see men's participation in math, physics, technology and engineering capped at the level of female interest. That would wreak havoc in fields that drive the economy and where the USA already lags other countries.
And our nation snoozes on....

When "effort" equals failure

Superintendent honored for diversity effort: "Schulze, who is retiring at the end of June after 14 years as superintendent, has seen African-Americans become a majority of the student body at Muskegon and has strived to promote minority employees.
He also has implemented a 'Changing the Odds' initiative to address achievement of students of color.
Schulze said he is 'very honored' and 'very pleased' by the establishment of the fund.
'I think (diversity) remains the main issue that our society has still yet to come to grips with in any significant way,' Schulze said. 'I think we've made steps forward but we've also taken steps backward.
'If there's any important thing I've done, it's certainly in that area (of diversity) ...
Well, his focus on diversity has resulted in an almost exact correlation with declining scores for his "diverse" students over the last 14 years. At least we're not honoring him for his success in educating our children. The emperor has no clothes and no one will stand up and tell the truth.

Georgia: Chatham County Dumping Unprofitable Cameras: "Unhappy with losing money from a red light camera at the intersection of Highway 204 and King George Boulevard, officials in Chatham County Georgia have canceled their photo ticketing contract with Nestor Inc. after just five months. Chatham County expected the same success as nearby Savannah which brings in $60,000 in monthly profit from camera tickets. Because Chatham's program has lost $3000 each month, officials gave the camera vendor until Monday, June 12 to remove what was once hailed as a valuable public safety tool."

Bill to make English official language passes House: "English would become the state's official language under a bill passed Tuesday by the state House.
If the legislation becomes law, state agencies would not be required to provide documents in languages other than English. However, supporters of the bill said nothing in it would prohibit an agency from printing documents in a foreign language if it so desired."

Such a practice should not be allowed, he said, 'period, end of debate.' "

Kirkpatrick hit liberals for blaming America first: "'When Marxist dictators shoot their way into power in Central America, the San Francisco Democrats don't blame the guerrillas and their Soviet allies,' Mrs. Kirkpatrick said of her party, which had just had its national convention in San Francisco. 'They blame United States policies of 100 years ago. But then they always blame America first.'
With those words, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations -- a long-time Democrat -- described the difference between President Reagan's determination to defeat communism and Democratic Party leaders' inclination to accommodate communism everywhere. "

An American disgrace!

Don't you know who I am?: "But when it comes to determining who will push the nuclear button, ......, we, for the most part throughout America, don't even bother to ask who the hell is voting him in.
A friend of mine voted in the town elections the other day and was never asked who he was. He then asked the polling people if they had ever seen him before. He went on to say that he could'�ve used his neighbor's name, his mechanic's name and address and then waited until the first shift of poll workers went home and come back and voted again.
My, they were unnerved about it. Wow, they said, in unison. They'd never thought about that.
Did you also know, he went on, that Governor Lynch recently vetoed a bill that would've prevented this?
No, they all said, and were shocked that they hadn't heard a word about it.
No, America just stumbles along fat, dumb and happy, letting anybody at all drag into a polling place, not checking a thing, allowing the most brazen Democrats to vote over and over, with no concern evinced about who in the hell is determining the end user of the votes--the fellow with the nuclear football, the guy who can trumpet down the walls of Jericho, the man or woman who can flatten the planet, the woman who can sic the IRS on us.
It is a shame that the last place where no one knows my name, or anyone else's, is at my polling place.
Don't you know who I am?"

Four fraternity members accused of making pledges wear cowboy clothes and suffer homophobic insults in a 'Brokeback Mountain'-themed initiation ritual face $1,000 fines under the state's anti-hazing law.
University of Vermont police said the civil penalties stemmed from a March 2 party at the Phi Gamma Delta house based on the movie about gay cowboys.
'What they did, which I felt was homophobic in nature, was inappropriate,' UVM Police Chief Gary Margolis said.

TheStar.com - Muslim girls allowed private swim test: "The decision to close a high school pool to give three Muslim girls a private swimming class is stoking debate over the place of faith in Quebec's public institutions.
At issue is the practice known as 'reasonable accommodation' for religious views, one that's increasingly common in a city that's home to most of Quebec's immigrants.
Parents say the decision by Commission Scolaire Marie-Victorin, with more that 40,000 students in 80 schools, risks encouraging 'segregation in the name of religion.'
The board argues it is simply respecting provisions of a recent Supreme Court judgment on wearing Sikh kirpans (ceremonial daggers) in classrooms that set limits on restricting religious rights."
