Brandeis University is training students to be Weaklings and Cowards
In an effort to assure the shame and humiliation of America, famed Brandeis University has developed a new language restriction policy.
Permission to speak? Nope. Stay silent, especially if your skin looks white. You never know what horrible things you might say. Like “Picnic” (sorry, I know it’s an offensive word, but I had to say it in order to make my point here.) Folks, I’m serious! The absurdity of political correctness has pushed the students and faculty at this once respected University over the edge to ludicrousness.
Here is the link to the: NY Post Article about Brandeis University restrictions
I am deeply offended by this action to remove freedom of speech and to assure the training of weaklings and cowards. But, my skin is white so it doesn’t matter if this hurts me. It only counts if you can fabricate a direct link to slavery in previous generations.

Shame on Brandeis for allowing this lunacy on their campus and in their communications. What product is likely when this is what you teach? Weaklings and Cowards who are afraid to have a relaxed conversation, be around strangers or express their opinions openly. Courage is impossible in a world where every instinctive action must be judged beforehand. The next generation, from Brandeis, will surely be people who simply obey and bow down to the god of political correctness.
If you had $60,000 a year to send your child to a major university would you be attracted to this? God save us if you would.
Let’s Make America Good Again, and stop the insanity.

Academic Underachievement As a Permanent Condition
Academic achievement occurs through individual effort: One boy and one girl after another rising above
On the state and local level, as decisions are made about how and in what form we will educate the nation’s children, an age-old issue remains. The underlying causes of income inequality and civil unrest likely has less to do with media-inflamed coverage and more to do with a lingering issue that few people want to earnestly discuss: educational disparity.
In virtually every U.S. school system, the disparity year after year, decade after decade, and even longer, in mathematics competency, reading proficiency, test scores, honor roll status, and graduation rates, between African American students and other students is disturbing.
A Disturbing Reality
Here in the third decade of the third millennium, with a male African American high school dropout rate at 40% across the U.S., can anyone view the situation optimistically? Any responsible American would understandably be concerned.

As Eric Hanushek, who is a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, as well as a senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, exclaimed “It’s remarkable.” Following his extensive analysis of the situation, he remarked, “I knew that the gap hadn’t been closing too much, but when I actually looked at the data I was myself surprised.”
In one community after another, and one school system after another, when strenuous efforts to bridge the gap do not bear fruit, invariably someone yells “foul,” as if some grand conspiracy is occurring and a magic wand, yet to be waved, could suddenly redress all. And, as if hard-working, dedicated teachers are not attempting their utmost for each of their students.
An Undesired Path
Consider the school system in Chapel Hill-Carrboro, North Carolina. This locale, deemed, “The southern part of heaven,” by a variety of writers, is among the most progressive in the United States. The teachers and educators here have a vested interest in demonstrating that their school system, beyond all others, can succeed in the vital area of closing achievement gaps between whites and minorities.
Nevertheless, year in and year out the gap remains. So, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education becomes primed to try anything! Another in an endless line of supposed “fixes” was to eliminate the advanced math classes in the middle schools and to lump all non-pre-algebra students together, with similar plans to eliminate other advanced classes such as in language arts.
Just as you cannot easily erect a sound building on quicksand, and you cannot expect to solve a decades-old problem by starting with a shaky foundation. Taking a lowest common denominator approach to developing school curriculum has never consistently worked, anywhere. It frustrates the students and dramatically increases a teacher’s burden – all such students must then be taught at individual learning speeds. Do you know any superhuman teachers? If so, could you afford them?
Face the Real Issues
Permanently closing the academic gap between underachieving students and the rest of the student population requires addressing reality – airing the truth about the disparity – not resorting to politically “correct” psychobabble and curricula finagling for another ten years, and then another ten, and then another.
This disparity encompasses such issues as the number of hours the television is on in given households, family or parental encouragement for completing homework assignments, a regular workspace, and established hours for studying in a quiet environment, among other factors.
Until solid analysis, exploration, and programs that address these issues are undertaken, no amount of wrangling with classes will prove to be the “winning formula.” And, school boards will have no chance of effectively addressing the continuing problem of poor academic performance among student groups.
In Arthur Conan Doyle’s short story The Sign of Four, detective Sherlock Holmes says, “…When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” The schools in U.S. communities routinely exhaust talented teachers with a task that cannot be solved by them, nor is it theirs to solve.
Students Eager to Learn
However improbable to those who wish to pretend otherwise, academic achievement occurs through individual effort: One boy and one girl after another rising above and cracking the books, then coming to class as serious students, eager to learn, and primed to excel. Such achievement is not likely to occur any other way.
Otherwise, expect that income inequality and civil unrest will continue for decades into the 21st century.

When America Loses THIS, It Loses Everything
We are in a battle for the soul of our country. And that battle is over truth.
We are in a battle for the soul of our country. And that battle is over truth. Truth must be the foundation of everything that we believe, honor, value, and esteem. If we don’t know what truth is, how can we stand for America? The left is at war with the truth and tries to reposition what it is that we believe to be true so that they can change society. We must stand for truth. PolitiCrosssing founder Chris Widener expands on the need to fight for truth in the short video below.
