    This is the key, perhaps, to understanding the hearings. "Republican leaders are making clear that they see the present moment as an opportunity to use bipartisan disgust about antisemitism on campuses to push ahead their agenda to force colleges and universities to rein in policies they consider far-left and “woke.”
    “He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8

    What is the source of the quote?
    Probably some unbiased, open minded person like TSherbs.
    Cuz, if he said it, it must be so. Right Chuck?

    I'd prefer not to answer.

    CN chose the bolded language to acknowledge the pervasive antisemitism on college campuses. Of course antisemitism is a far-left policy at colleges and universities.

    Maybe, but if you're try to drive a wedge between coastal elites and those somewhere in the middle, this is a gift. Since the 1970's the church people have been trying to argue against secularism in the American University. Oddly, football, remains the biggest thing on campus and the coaches the highest paid state employee. And, Trump tried and is trying to drive the same wedge. Funny how a dude who has cheated his entire life has been able to dupe those in the middle. Who does a rich kid who achieved fame by cheating get into the minds of Evangelicals and Middle America as a hero?

    Let's list all the things in CN's post that have absolutely nothing to do with antisemitism: church people, football and football coaches, "Evangelicals," Middle America, and (wait for it) Trump.

    All of which are listed to intended to deflect from pervasive antisemitism which both parties acknowledge is a problem. Must be comforting to fearful Jewish students and professors that there's no need to address a problem acknowledged by both parties because Trump.

    Interesting statistical reporting on book removal requests at schools across the USA (from WAPO, gifted). LGBTQ titles are targeted most often. Racial titles, second.

    "LGBTQ titles"

    Curious that they don't mention the comic porn (Shloop!), instruction on masturbation, and what to do if you feel like cutting your tits or pecker off.

    Cause there's a supportive English teacher for that.

    Hey look, it’s our old friend Mik!

    You can read more about Empty of Clouds (aka: David Jackson) and his spam escapades in this thread:

    Dogs eatin’ homework and other tall tales - or how EoC got caught spamming the forum

    New members should heed the warning in red at the top of the first post, if you don’t like drama.

    If you would like more information, David can be found at this link:

    "Return"? Do you think he ever left? His pseudonyms are plenty, and in use. He'll out himself inadvertently at some point with those too. I'm happy to wait.

    David - if you want to participate in the forum, you'll have to man up and own your shit. Many won't forgive you. I will, believe it or not. You can earn your place back into the fold. At any rate, I hope you find some peace - but you won't with this quest for revenge.

    Yes, you are right.
    And, we have seen these apparent manic induced flurries all before.
    I guess I was thinking more along the lines of the more well known & easily recognized pseudonyms like "Mik Joger."

    One goal of education should be to teach educators not to sexually assault students:

    In my opinion, the purpose of education is different for each person. But in any case, we all strive to receive the best education. I suggest you check out interesting math topics for presentation https://www.customwritings.com/howto...n-mathematics/ and you might want to use these ideas for your presentation. This approach will help you avoid mistakes in choosing a good topic and of course you will be able to successfully complete your math homework.

    The goal of education is to give people something to do with their fountain pens.

    Learn how to think critically, be objective, and skeptical, not cynical.
