Sick Of Lefty Universities?

Send your kids to college. Most colleges now offer degrees, so your kids will pay less in tuition fees, and get a better education.

A typical university economics course means your kid will be one of 300 stuck in a huge auditorium. A typical college economics course means your kid will be one of 30 in a classroom. A university business grad takes two years of arts courses and then takes two of business. A college grad takes two years of business courses and then takes two more of business related courses. A university grad takes sociology, modern dance, field hockey, and other social science courses to get their degree. A college grad takes courses that are directly related to the degree, no "fluff" courses are necessary.

Most importantly, colleges are not infested with leftist professors (yet) who dictate to their students how they should think, or student government that only supports those groups they agree with, and censor those they don't.


Carleton anti-abortion club wants court to review ban
The lawyer for an anti-abortion group just decertified at Carleton University said Friday he will take the school’s student association to court unless the ban is reversed. Albertos Polizogopoulos called the decision to decertify Carleton Lifeline by the Carleton University Student Association (CUSA) “totalitarian”  and “ludicrous.”
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association, meanwhile, has sent a letter to CUSA asking it to behave more responsibly and protect minority opinion.
“You can be pro-choice and for free speech,’’ said Nathalie DesRosiers, general counsel of the civil liberties group. ‘‘Student governments must act like a government and represent all students, not just the ones who think like them. They have a duty to protect minority views. We have told them that what they are doing is not proper and they should respect the right of dissent.”
Lefty universities are not teaching your kids anything worthwhile. What does your kid do with an English degree, or a sociology degree, or a degree in history? Where are the jobs for those kids? If your kid goes to a college, they can become a paramedic, a plumber, a welder, an accountant, all highly employable careers. 

My oldest boy has gone to the open houses for the U of A and NAIT, he has decided to apply to NAIT because he can get a two year diploma and go out and work, or he can get his degree, all for a lot cheaper than if he went to the U of A. If you do not want your kid indoctrinated by lefty professors, send them to a college, they get a better education without the politics.

Here We Have Someone Who Needs Help

This story is a sad commentary on universities today. I remember going to university from a small town of 5000, I was so sure the students would all be smart, mentally balanced, and wanting to succeed. Boy, was I wrong. Most were okay, but some were such misfits I couldn't understand how they ever got accepted. Like this little lady:

Yale University has threatened to pull a senior student's controversial "abortion art" project from an exhibition Tuesday unless she admits she lied about artificially inseminating herself and inducing miscarriages to produce the piece.

I'm sorry, but this girl needs help whether she really did induce abortions or not (miscarriages are spontaneous, not induced). If this is "art", I'm not taking my family to see it.

Salovey said that after he and School of Art Dean Robert Storr conducted an investigation, they determined two faculty members made "serious errors of judgment" and should be disciplined for the part they played.

"In one case, the instructor responsible for the senior project should not have allowed it to go forward," he said. "In the other, an adviser should have interceded and consulted others when first given information about the project. Appropriate action has been taken in these two cases."


No kidding Sherlock! Someone's head should roll.

On Friday, in a guest column that appeared in the Yale Daily News, Shvarts stood by her story that she artificially inseminated herself using sperm donors whose identities she said she was keeping secret, then administered herbal drugs to induce possible miscarriages.

She said she never knew for sure whether she was pregnant, but she collected blood around the time of her period after she took the herbs and spread it onto hundreds of feet of plastic that she wrapped around a large cube. The cube was to be suspended from the ceiling of the exhibition hall, and videos of her undergoing the alleged self-induced miscarriages were to be projected on the cube and the walls.


If this isn't a prime example of someone crying out for help, I don't know what is. Help that girl. She is drowning. This is not art, it's a scream for help from someone who is not mentally stable. Funny how all the misfits seem to be studying arts.
