The War for Our Schools

East Georgia College

Professor Thomas Thibeault of East Georgia College of Swainsboro, Georgia, was fired, or suspended, or something, we’re not sure yet.  The administration can’t seem to make up its mind.  First he was told he was fired, then they said he was suspended with a committee deciding if termination was warranted.

What did he do you ask?  He was fired/suspended/we’re-not-sure-what for sexual harassment.

What did he do?  We don’t know, they won’t say.  Who did he do it too?  We don’t know, they won’t say.

He was fired and escorted off the property under threat of police using force.

So he has been banned from the campus, unsure if he is fired or suspended.  No charges have been filed.  No evidence has been presented.  No hearings undertaken.  No accuser to face.

Because it’s all a lie.  Because Professor Thomas Thibeault dared to be politically incorrect.  He dared to be politically incorrect in a sexual harassment training session.  Did he make an off color joke, grab a student, leer at someones boobies?  No.

He asked what provision was there for someone who was innocent, someone who was being either mistakenly or maliciously accused.

Tsk, tsk, Professor, you know that absolutely no one would ever lie about being sexually harassed.

Two days after asking that question he was fired.

University of Oregon

A student named Dan Lawton who was studying journalism at the University of Oregon noticed that of all his classes, he only had one conservative professor.  He mentioned this to that particular professor and was “warned” that he was stirring up trouble.

So he decided to conduct a little study, in which he found that out of 111 professors, only 2 were republicans.  He felt that such one-sidedness hurt the university and hurt the students.  Diversity after all.

He also wrote an article about it in the campus newspaper.

There was outrage.  Demands for apology.  Mockery and ridicule.  And the suggestion that if he wanted conservatism he go to school in the South.  Wow, what a bigoted remark from an enlightened professor.

St. Louis University

Conservative David Horowitz, originally one of the fathers of the New Left back in the 60s, has spoken at over 400 colleges and universities.  He was coming to St. Louis University to speak about Islamo-Facism awareness and civil rights.

But the school uninvited him.  They felt there would be no balance to the thoughts and ideas, no one to contradict the facts he would present, no one to mock him and his ideas to make sure the students understood what would happen to them if they harbored ideas like his.

Apparently diversity is only a good thing if it’s a particular type of diversity.

Who is Teaching in our Schools

Columbia University has just granted tenure to Joseph A. Massad.  The polite introduction would be to call this Arab Studies professor anti-Israeli.  But why dilute things, the left doesn’t.  Columbia brings a bigot on board.  Not only do they bring him on board, but they give him the unheard of dream of lifetime tenure.  Which by the way is against Columbias own rules.

Have we Forgotten Duke?

Where before the dust was even settled, faculty, in a show of leftist civil rights posted there own Desiderata regarding how they felt about the students who raped that poor woman.  Except it turned out to be a lie.

Right now the war is being waged in the schools.  Our children’s minds the battlefield.  They have shown that they will lie, attempt to personally and publicly destroy a person, conspire to put them at odds with the law, or in prison over trumped up charges.

What next, murder?
