Re-Segregating America, One University After Another
Arnold Ahlert: "I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood." —Martin Luther King, Aug. 28, 1963
While Americans remain distracted by the election, college campuses across the nation are busy turning Martin Luther King's vision on its head. Students are demanding to be segregated, and spineless administrators are accommodating them.
At California State University Los Angeles, the Black Student Union sent a letter to president William A. Covino asserting that black students "have been, and still are, consistently made the targets of racist attacks by fellow students, faculty, and administration." Fourteen "DEMANDs" were listed, including "the creation and financial support of a CSLA housing space delegated for Black students."
Spokesman Robert Lopez offered up Orwellian rationale for Cal State's surrender, insisting the arrangement "focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory."
At the University of Connecticut, there is a "living-learning" community reserved for black male students. That's okay with administrators because it doesn't take over the whole dormitory — it's one of 20 learning groups "topically" categorized — and because, as UConn spokesperson Stephanie Reitz put it, at "many predominantly white institutions nationwide, elements of African-American culture are harder to find, which can make some students experience a sense of detachment from their universities."
Northwestern University plans to quadruple the number of black student safe spaces on campus, based on a 149-page task force report titled "Black Student Experience." It asserts black students feel "dissatisfied, exhausted and alienated on campus," and recommends a "cultural audit" of the entire campus to ensure it is "representative of the diversity that exists within the University."
In a Washington Post op-ed, Northwestern president Morton Schapiro revealed the intellectual bankruptcy that attends these segregationist impulses. Commenting on an incident where a group of black students in the cafeteria decided they didn't want two white students joining them, he insisted the black students "had every right to enjoy their lunches in peace." He elaborated, "There are plenty of times and places to engage in uncomfortable learning, but that wasn't one of them. The white students, while well-meaning, didn't have the right to unilaterally decide when uncomfortable learning would take place."
One need only imagine a group of white students denying black students seats at a cafeteria lunch table to grasp the hypocrisy.
Unfortunately, at DePaul, the nation's largest Catholic university, no imagination at all is necessary to see how deep the hypocritical rot goes. A group of pro-life students was told it could not display posters reading "Unborn Lives Matter" because doing so could upset the campus's Black Lives Matter movement. "By our nature, we are committed to developing arguments and exploring important issues that can be steeped in controversy and, oftentimes, emotion," explained University president Father Dennis Holtschneider in a letter to the College Republicans who had sponsored the effort. "Yet there will be times when some forms of speech challenge our grounding in Catholic and Vincentian values. When that happens, you will see us refuse to allow members of our community be subjected to bigotry that occurs under the cover of free speech."
Apparently the BLM movement, whose entire existence is based on fomenting anti-police bigotry, remains a paragon of Catholic and Vincentian values, even as one of the central tenets of the Catholic faith is too provocative for First Amendment protection. Not to mention that abortion claims a hugely disproportionate number of black lives.
Chicago Tribune reporter Ted Slowik adds a dollop of the victimist worldview to the mix, insisting that "our system of public education isn't perfectly balanced," meaning some students "simply aren't as well prepared for college as others." Thus "peer support" (read: segregation) is an acceptable tool for achieving academic success.
Maybe some students of color aren't well prepared for college because in virtually every major city in America, public education has been controlled by Democrats for decades. Democrats completely aligned with unaccountable education unions promising "reform" for 50 years and failing to deliver. Unions so strong, the NAACP voted for a moratorium on charter schools, despite the reality they currently provide 700,000 black families with an escape route from the most disastrous public schools overwhelmingly located in minority neighborhoods.
Or maybe students are indoctrinated into the grievance culture long before they reach college. Like those "taught" by the thousands of Seattle teachers who wore Black Lives Matter T-shirts to an event organized to dramatize the inequality of public schools — run by those same teachers. Or like students at Middletown South and Toms River North who decided to honor police officers, EMTs, firemen and military at a football game — only to be sent a memo by the New Jersey chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union condemning the ceremony as a "frightening message" designed to "intimidate and ostracize people who express their views about systemic racism and social just [sic]."
"Americans need to understand that this otherwise fringe ideology and extremism is now thoroughly embedded throughout the education system, from pre-K through university," asserts Alex Newman, co-author of "Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians are Using Government Schools to Destroy America's Children." Newman further points out this system has "harmed black Americans even more than others, although all Americans have suffered from it" even as he warns the cure is not more of the same "racialist, collectivist, leftist poison."
It is racialist, collectivist, leftist poison that has engendered one of the great ironies of modern times: people of color demanding segregation, making an utter mockery of King's work and his vision. It doesn't get much more twisted than that. ~The Patriot Post

Sick New Detail Emerges About liar-Hillary
and the Night of Benghazi
by Harry Hibbs
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton didn’t send or receive any classified emails, or so she says. We all know this is a lie, including ALL Leftists, and the complicit FBI... Most Americans have seen the leaked emails, the videos of the trial, and liar-Hillary’s own speeches involving the Benghazi attack on our men. This email however could have been the very thing that got Ambassador Stevens killed along side the 3 other American heroes. As if exposing the sensitive location details on a man that is a clear target for terrorists wasn’t enough, liar-Hillary also forgot the name of the very man she called friend, referring to him in the email about his death as “Smith.” The emails that outlined Stevens’ location and movements were all sent from and to her personal email, giving a very un-secure doorway to any terrorist that had even a minute knowledge of hacking... http://gopthedailydose.com/2016/10/29/sick-new-detail-emerges-hillary-night-benghazi/

Hold Everything – DiGenova Says l
iar-Clinton Aide Laptops Not Destroyed...
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ It was hard to believe that the FBI would agree, as part of an unnecessary plea deal for evidence that they could have quite easily just demanded through subpoena... to destroy the source laptops upon the completion of their very limited examination. DiGenova said, “According to the agreement reached with the attorneys who handed over their laptops, the laptops were to be destroyed per the agreement after the testimony was given –the interviews were given – – by the attorneys. The bureau and the department agreed to that,” Washington D.C. attorney Joe DiGenova said. “However the laptops contrary to published reports were not destroyed and the reason is the agents who are tasked with destroying them refused to do so. And by the way the laptops are at the FBI for inspection by Congress or federal courts.”... http://rickwells.us/digenova-clinton-aide-laptops-destroyed-pick-up/

Resignation letters piling up at FBI
by Joe Kovacs
{wnd.com} ~ The decision by FBI Director James Comey to reopen the investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton’s email server and her mishandling of classified material came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by FBI agents described as “mutinous.”... “Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,” said the source. “They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting liar-Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.”... http://www.wnd.com/2016/10/resignations-letters-piling-up-at-fbi/

What Will The Next Chapter Be About?
by Tom McLaughlin
{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ Baby boomers now running our country, or seeking to run it, came of age during the hubris of the 1960s and 70s. That era shaped them for well or ill, and we’re seeing more evidence of the latter as this unprecedented campaign unfolds. Being a teenager and young adult at the time, I recall quite vividly that societal norms governing sexual behavior were thrown to the wind. The ethos of the age was such that religious and cultural strictures around sex were considered repressive and unnatural. They were shredded so we could be “liberated.” People should “do their own thing” regardless of millennia-old exemplars. The principle that sex is best confined to marriage sex produced children who were best raised in nuclear families was widely accepted Though violations were frequent, they were stigmatized. Since the sixties, however, we’ve been “defining deviancy down,” to borrow a phrase from Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY), and here we are, like it or not. Sex isn’t for procreation anymore. It’s recreation. Babies are more a problem than a blessing.
Anthony Weiner
Much of today’s media has been pornified, but remember that the sixties began with John F. Kennedy’s presidency. His White House promiscuity has become widely known but few knew at the time. Media knew but chose to ignore it. Public scandals were confined to politics: Watergate in the Nixon presidency and Iran-Contra in Reagan’s. liar-Clinton’s scandals were sexual but liar-nObama’s returned to the political. Now, however, liar-Clinton’s sexual escapades have been resurrected by Trump after his own were widely publicized. And now, bizarrely, those of the former congressman with the unfortunate name are back in the news. Sex, especially its misuse, dominates America’s attention as we approach election day. The FBI is investigating former Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner after he was caught for the third time sending unwanted pictures of his genitalia — this time to a 15-year-old girl. The probe turned up something unexpected which may determine who becomes our next president. Exactly what that is, we don’t yet know, but it’s evidently important enough to make its existence public at this critical time.
Sex has so dominated public discussion of the biggest election campaign in years that other issues get little attention. An hour before the first big Wikileaks email dump on Friday, October 7th, NBC released the now-famous Trump remarks on the bus in which he claimed women let him grope them because he was famous. Before that, he had been talking about world and national issues and cutting into liar-Hillary’s lead. Some polls even showed him ahead, but he slid behind again after his prurient 2005 remarks went public. They consumed so much media oxygen that few Americans learned about Wikileaks emails showing that liar-Hillary lied even more often, about even more things, than we already knew. Suddenly it was all about sex again.
Bill liar-Clinton at 2nd debate as Trump fingered him
In their second debate two days later on October 9th, Trump turned the sexual focus back onto the liar-Clintons, claiming he only talked about groping women while Bill liar-Clinton actually did it. He brought several women into the debate hall who alleged President liar-Clinton had groped or even raped them while he was Arkansas Attorney General, Governor, and president. Then, for days after, about a dozen women claimed that Trump had groped them over the last three decades. Trump’s denied their allegations, threatened to sue them, and continued his slide in the polls. Americans felt soiled by sordid charges thrown back and forth and looked forward to the election being over.
Trump finally went back to talking about issues and began creeping back up in the polls. Continued release of Wikileaks emails and FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) documents pried out of the State Department continued damaging liar-Hillary. The biggest bombshell dropped last Friday when FBI Director James Comey notified Congress that he was reopening his investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton’s unsecured, classified emails. At least it didn’t involve sex, we thought. Only hours later, however, we learned that Comey’s investigatory turnaround was prompted by information found as the FBI gathered evidence on Weiner — the estranged husband of liar-Hillary’s closest aid, Huma Abedin, who evidently left thousands of emails on his computer. It was back in the cesspool again for all of us.
This is the third presidential election during which I’ve been able to interview candidates — seven this year including liar-Hillary Clinton. For me that makes the process more interesting, but this cycle has focused more Americans than any other. It’s forcing us to look at ourselves. Our votes — Democrat and Republican — gave us these candidates. Why, then, are we disgusted with them? To answer that, we have to look at the culture in which we’re swimming. Lying and sexual misdeeds don’t seem to matter much anymore. Everybody does it, right?
