Bush Bashing Disguised as Philosophy Class
[I have changed the name of the teacher to "M.", I am not on a
witch-hunt, just exposing what academia is today]
As I sat at my local Borders bookstore reading
Let Freedom Ring by Sean Hannity, I overheard a college student
talking about her "philosophy class" to a friend. She was shocked that
the instructor began the course with "If you like Bush or Rush
Limbaugh, LEAVE
NOW!"
This student was more than willing to talk with me about it. She
stated that at Cuesta College, Calif., teacher Jacqueline M. is
forcing her students to read anti-Bush rhetoric to pass an
"Introduction to Philosophy" class.
She stated that students are to retrieve their required reading
homework assignments, which were highly "anti-Bush" from M.'s website
(see
copy). Many of the students immediately dropped the course
according to this student.
As of 12/10/03, the student's statements were confirmed. With a
logo of Cuesta College at the top, the website links students to four
required reading assignments at "Mother Jones," a radical
Bush-bashing site. Students are referred to sites such as "Move-On."
Also included is a large picture of Howard Dean campaigning before a
crowd and slogans of "Howard Dean for President 2004!"
"I could not believe this was presented as a 'philosophy' class,"
the student stated. She didn’t agree with what was being hammered at
her.
Within 24 hours of posting this article, Jacqueline's website has
been changed, it's much more subtle, yet as of 12/11, one can still
find Bush-bashing while campaigning for Dean. To see links, previous
required reading, and the web site of Jackie M. before it was
covered up,

Currently posted on Jacqueline M.'s website is a definition of a
liberal:
Liberal:
1a. Open-minded; tolerant. b. Favoring
civil and political liberties, democratic reforms, and protection from
arbitrary authority.
How duplicitous! To bask as a liberal
described so, and yet MANDATE students to read anti-Bush websites and
use a state funded college position to campaign for Dean! Her new
website states, "I make no apologies for my criticisms of the Bush
administration's policies...[followed with more criticism of Bush].
Protests to Cuesta College appear to have
resulted in a statement on M.'s website that Cuesta College does not
pay for the website, yet students clearly are still directed to this
blatant Dean campaign, Bush bashing site for homework. Is ANYONE
naieve enough to believe this teacher is presenting a balanced,
"liberally tolerant" class???
This teacher is abusing her position to bash
Bush, yet she claims the Bushites are out to crucify her. This
is beyond shameful. And Cuesta College, with full knowledge of what
she is doing, continues to allow her to "teach".
State funding should not be used so that
predatory teachers can attempt to sway the presidential
election 2004! Teachers should not mandate liberal left
rhetoric under the pretense of philosophy! This is an example of why
we need
legislative protection for
conservative students.
[Editor's note: We have never encouraged anyone to write
hate mail to M.. In fact, her email link has always been
blocked. If anyone emailed Jacqueline M., they found it at her own
website, not from blessedcause. We also
ask that no one send hateful emails to anyone. If you want to send an
email, please send it to
Gov. Schwarzenegger and inform him of
this outrageous abuse of school funding by Cuesta College]
This left agenda at colleges and universities
is nationwide. In Ohio, a class about Vietnam is taught by a professor
who, "turned out to be a '60s leftist who regarded America as an
imperialist monster and the Vietnam War an expression of America's
inherent racism and capitalist greed," reported David Horowitz.
A student, a member of the ROTC, tried to drop
the Vietnam class but was denied by the professor. "The student
completed the course, but received a failing grade from the professor
because he chose to be in the armed forces," Horowitz says.
David Horowitz has begun a movement for the "Academic
Bill of Rights" which calls for intellectual diversity, balanced
reading lists, a ban on political bias by professors, equalized
funding for student groups and on-campus guest speakers, and a
non-hostile environment for conservative students. Contact "Students
for Academic Freedom" to find out how you can get involved.

It is shocking that our tax dollars are funding the left’s hatred
of President Bush, campaigning for Dean and consistently promotes
hatred of America through college and high school courses. Something
MUST be done about the unbalanced liberal left agenda in public
schools even as our elementary schools are becoming ever more similar
to Nazi Germany schools:
"When an opponent declares, 'I will not come over to your side',
I calmly say 'Your child belongs to us already. What are you? You
will pass on. Your descendants, however, now
stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else
but this new community.'"
- Adolf Hitler, 1939
There are evil principalities under new names at work
in America that are out to destroy this once great nation and the
freedom afforded it by our Judeo-Christian heritage. Give me liberty
or give me death, God save us from the liberal left!

1/10/04 Clearly the left
is anything but tolerant. Since posting this, someone keeps signing
BlessedCause up for the Dean campaign.
(sigh) This intolerance of my rights is as intolerant as the left's
"pro-choice" murder. How tolerant are abortionists of innocent babies
hoping to grow? The liberal left are clearly the most intolerant of
all. -jent
