At least 5 people I follow on Facebook are posting photos of themselves touring colleges across the country with their high school senior children. It is so nice to see smiling young adults posing in front of university buildings and statues, with their proud parents on an adventure to see what campus would make the best fit. And most of the trips are pretty far from the Golden State. Auburn, Vanderbilt, Fordham, Boston College, TCU, Iowa State, almost anywhere besides California.
This may be an attempt to avoid some of the woke nonsense so common in our state, but it might not work . My last blog pointed out that these incoming freshpersons (see, I can be woke too) can choose a course in pornographic film making at a university in Salt Lake City. Brigham Young would be appalled.
And now this, from THE Ohio State University: John Fuller is parliamentarian of the University Undergraduate Student Government General Assembly. While presenting a resolution aimed at condemning all anti-critical race theory legislation he made these observations:
“I just wanted to say that and make this very clear, the only people who are taught that they are superior to another race are White people.”
I think I missed that course. Certainly I don’t recall anything like that in the UC Davis catalog from 1976. There is more…
“And I would absolutely love to live in a world where Black people were taught that they are superior.”
I wonder what the materials for such a course would contain? Duke Ellington genius, Mozart white supremacist who stole his melodies from Africa? Maya Angelou is the read deal and Shakespeare is a faker? And don’t even get started on that racist Mr. Clemens.
Mr. Fuller didn’t stop with that, he doubled down:
Fuller later repeated his original claim, saying that “I do believe that Black people are superior.”
Now if I disagree with Mr. Fuller’s thesis, does that make me a racist? Worse, if I write that this claim is hilarious nonsense would I get banned from Facebook or WordPress? One thing woke persons hate is to have their serious pontifications greeted with laughter.
So if you are a parent sending your offspring off to get a quality education and hopefully acquire some skills and knowledge that will lead to a productive career, this is the kind of thing you should be aware of. Warn them, and advise them not to laugh when they hear something so silly stated in front of them. They might get dissed or doxed or reprimanded for being insensitive. Or sent to reeducation classes. With coed porn film watching…
