WE need to start naming names, in articles and books, of these ´professors´ and the universities. They should not be able to hide behind the academic walls to carry on their subversion. Expose them in every which way. Bring them forward and let them present their beliefs to the public. If they´re so cocksure they should want to.

The protesting academics have never studied voting systems. The Founders used a simple tool for a complicated problem. As my father once said,: "Most college professors are educated idiots. In many cases I tend to agree with him.

Wagner was right. It was a great compromise to name slaves as human beings at all. The prevailing thought at the time was that they were no different than the other barnyard animals.

This is what comes of ignorance. A great step forward against the tide of public opinion is being judged by today´s standards.

PC bleep in the ivory towers

Facts are inconvenient things when considered in academia. Generally tenured professors have all the answers even if they are wrong.

There is a commonly held notion in "Black Studies" that blacks should be granted the right to have their votes carry extra weight because of past grievances.

Isn´t this type of proportional representation the same thing in both directions ??

.....or is it like "Racism" where only white people can be wrong ?

I work at a University...I never discuss this type of thing with students. If I did and word got out. I´d be out of a job in a flash. I´m very careful of which faculty and staff I discuss this with....I never bring up Thomas Sowell with anyone.

Even Fredrick Douglas praised the wisdom of the three-fifths compromise.

The Iron Tower - public academia is very like being locked up in Barad Dur. Everywhere you look you see nothing but orcs.

My brother has been on the adjunct faculty of a major university. Our father was chair of a university history department. Both conservatives, neither ever mentioned politics in the classroom or faculty lounge. Discerning students from time to time figured they must be Republicans, because they were silent on the subject. When asked, they would just smile. That is how you survive as a conservative in academia.

You are so right #10-- I had to endure the lefty PC during my 25-year Teaching/Counseling career in higher education. Most times I would never mention my conservatism nor my military service in Vietnam, but on some occasions a student or two would know where I was coming from and nudge nudge wink wink as if to agree with me. Man I wanted to strangle some of those " chairwarmers" that I worked with.... token hires,affirmative action clowns, lesbians, idiots, morons, stupid liberal people who only majored in one simple subject but knew diddley-squat about most other things in life. So many stinkingly poor role models in education...Nowadays, from grade school to high school to college, a conservative kid doesnt stand a chance against the indoctrination, the kool-aid, the lefty agenda, the hatred for the white man, the re-writing of history...I should write a book!

Semper Paratus

The 3/5 compromise reduced the Congressional clout of slave-holders - disenfranchised blacks, and others denied full rights as citizens should not have been counted at all in apportioning representation! How ´Black Studies´ experts get away with twisting logic 180 degrees just has me shaking my head in disgust.
