"Tenured cultural Marxist punks raking in beaucoup bucks"???? Is that a George Gollin reference? George Gollin sent his um-daughter to Oberlin. Notorious gay boy pornographer Thomas "Chip" White attended Oberlin. Quite the little cesspool of fraud and fuckery.

Quote:How Oberlin Manufactured the Hate-Crime Hoax of the Year
Michelle Malkin | Aug 23, 2013



Busted. Stone-cold busted. Just as I suspected, "progressive" pranksters at [regionally accredited] Oberlin College have been definitively unmasked as the perpetrators of phony campus "hate crimes" that scored international headlines in March. The blabbermouth academic administrators who helped fuel the hysteria are now running for cover.

The Associated Press, The New York Times, MSNBC, Yahoo News and the Huffington Post were among the media outlets that trumpeted the story of supposed racism, homophobia and anti-Semitism run amok at my alma mater. Throughout the winter, anti-black and anti-gay graffiti, swastikas, and a shadowy figure in a "KKK hood" surfaced on the tiny campus outside Cleveland, Ohio. Black Entertainment Television News decried the hate outbreaks and "KKK sighting."

Because of my firsthand knowledge of Oberlin's long history of self-manufactured hate-crime incidents, the fake-hate-crime alarm bells went off immediately for me when I read the reports. Back in the 1990s, race-obsessed nutballs at Oberlin College cooked up a horrid hate-crime hoax. Asian-American students claimed that a phantom racist had spray-painted anti-Asian racial epithets on a campus landmark rock. It turned out that it was a warped Asian-American student who perpetrated the dirty deed.

Student newspapers were filled with complaints about imaginary racism. One Asian-American student accused a library worker of racism after the poor staffer asked the grievance-mongering student to lower the blinds where she was studying. A black student accused an ice-cream shop owner of racism after he told the student she was not allowed to sit at an outside table because she hadn't purchased any items from his store.

My suspicions about the latest "hate" crime were bolstered by police statements that the "KKK hood"-wearing menace was actually a female student wrapped in a blanket. Hollywood darling and Oberlin alumnus Lena Dunham was undaunted, however, in ginning up emotional calls for Obie solidarity on Twitter, which the AP dutifully reported as "news." My warnings and reports on previous Obie hoaxes, alas, were not deemed AP-newsworthy.

The orgy of self-flagellation swelled. Liberal grievance-mongers applauded the administration's decision to shut down classes. Faculty, students and opportunists took to the airwaves and the Internet to bemoan "white privilege," institutional bigotry, lack of diversity, yada, yada, yada.

And now, the rest of the story. According to police reports published by Chuck Ross of The Daily Caller News Foundation this week, two students had 'fessed up to most of the incidents (and fellow students suspect they are responsible for all of them). The Oberlin Police Department identified the hoaxers as Dylan Bleier (a student worker bee for President Obama's Organizing for Action and a member of the Oberlin College Democrats) and Matthew Alden. Bleier told police the pair posted inflammatory signs and a Nazi flag around campus to "joke" and "troll" their peers.

Investigators "caught them red-handed" trying to circulate anti-Muslim fliers, and a search of Bleier's email confirmed he had used a fake account to harass a female student. Cops told Oberlin President Marvin Krislov, but he failed to pursue any criminal action. The two students were removed from campus before the bogus "KKK" brouhaha and news-making shutdown.

Krislov not only remained silent about the two pranksters, but he also stoked the fires of political correctness and helped fuel the false notion that real bigotry had pervaded the campus. The spring edition of the Oberlin College alumni magazine opened with a self-congratulatory essay from Krislov titled "A Fitting Response."

After perversely bragging about the "national and international news" headlines on the "bias incidents (that) disrupted our campus community," Krislov clucked that "similar things have occurred at other colleges." Which, of course, is inadvertently true. As I've reported for 20 years, American college campuses are the most fertile grounds for fake hate.

Krislov then praised "students, faculty, staff, alumni and fellow Oberlin residents" who "turned hate into an opportunity to educate." Of course, "hate" had nothing to do with it. And the police reports suggest that Krislov knew it. The rash of "intolerance" that littered the Oberlin campus was a symptom of juvenile delinquency and perverse self-delusion. Instead of examining their guilt in coddling hate-crime hoaxers, Krislov giddily promoted new efforts "strengthening the emphasis on diversity."

There are other adults who deserve to be called out. As Cornell law professor and blogger William Jacobson, who has pressed the administration for months about the cover-up, notes: "Oberlin continues the wall of silence which delayed for months disclosure of the hoax. It's time for Oberlin to reveal who knew what, and when, particularly as to the oversight exercised by the Board of Trustees."

Sad to say, this is the sorry state of liberal arts colleges in America today: Extreme identity politics, multiculturalism and pedagogical self-indulgence are creating a generation of race trolls enabled by tenured cultural Marxist punks raking in beaucoup bucks. The bursting of the higher-ed bubble can't come fast enough.

Congratulations to regionally accredited Grand Canyon University on reaching the magic 200 complaint mark with their local Better Business Bureau. In the last three years 200 people had to get help from the BBB to get a square deal from GCU. No telling how many others got screwed over and didn't bother to seek help.

Remember, regional accreditation is the "Gold Standard." Yeah, right. Your assurance of "quality," based on no objectively measurable standard other than they say so.

This is too funny. The illegals couldn't protest on campus because they didn't file the right paperwork.

They snuck into the movie theater and now are demanding free popcorn.

Quote:Illegal Immigrant Students Demand Lower College Tuition

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Dozens of [illegal alien] students at [regionally accredited] Wake Technical Community College are pushing for changes to a policy that requires them to pay out-of-state tuition. The [illegal alien] students are forced to pay the out-of-state fees, which are nearly four times the cost of in-state tuition, even if they graduated from a North Carolina high school and have been living in the state for some time. Five [illegal alien] students were arrested at Thursday's protest after repeated warnings to leave the campus. Wake Tech officials said the group didn't file the proper paperwork to protest at the college. The five [illegal alien] individuals, ranging in age from 17-27, are all charged with second-degree trespassing. Meanwhile, [illegal alien] students moved their demonstration to the highway demanding equal tuition rights.

"I think it's discriminatory because they give us the opportunity already to be able to study here. We work really hard," said [illegal alien] student Jose Rico.

Quote:Cheating is rife in colleges — by admissions officers



By: Michael Barone
8/9/2013 06:00 AM

What is the most intellectually dishonest profession around? My nomination: the admissions officers at highly selective colleges and universities.

Evidence in support of this comes from, of all places, a recent article in The New York Times.

The writer is Ruth Starkman, and the subject is her experience as a reader of applications to the highly selective University of California, Berkeley.

“Admissions officers were careful not to mention gender, ethnicity and race during our training sessions,” she notes. But when she asked one privately, “What are we doing about race?” she was told it was illegal to consider it, but that they were looking at “the ‘bigger picture’ of the applicant’s life.”

Racial discrimination in state universities was made illegal in 1996 when California voters by a 55 percent margin passed UC Regent Ward Connerly’s Proposition 209.

At first UC admissions officers enforced the law, as Richard Sander (a UCLA law professor) and Stuart Taylor report in their book, “Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It’s Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won’t Admit It.”

The result was that fewer blacks and Hispanics were admitted to the most selective UC schools, Berkeley and UCLA, but more were admitted to and graduated from less selective UC campuses.

But then admissions officers started to cheat. They declared that they were using “holistic” criteria, trying to gauge from students’ applications the “bigger picture” of their life.

In practice, this meant racial discrimination in favor of blacks and Hispanics, and against Asians and whites

Starkman’s job was to read applications and rate them on a numeric scale, with 1′s being the most desirable. She “was told I needed more 1′s and referrals. A referral is a flag that a student’s grades and scores do not make the cut but the application merits a special read because of ‘stressors’ — socioeconomic disadvantages that admissions offices can use to increase diversity.”

It’s not hard to imagine what “stressors” might include. A Spanish surname. A home address or high school in a heavily black neighborhood. An essay recounting “the hardships that prevented the student from achieving better grades, test scores and honors.”

So the admissions officers were tipping the scale heavily in favor of certain students — and heavily against others.

“When I asked about an Asian student who I thought was a 2 but had received only a 3, the officer noted, ‘Oh, you’ll get a lot of them,’” Starkman writes. “She said the same when I asked why a low-income student with top grades and scores, and who had served in the Israeli Army, was a 3.”

What’s extraordinary about this is that you have an organization every member of which is well aware of its main purpose — illegal racial discrimination — but in which no one will say so out loud. A willingness to lie and break the law are job requirements.

Now I am aware that there are arguments against a college just admitting the students with the highest test scores. It does probably serve some educational purpose to bring together people with different interests and different strengths.

Preferences to offspring of alumni and talented athletes may be warranted for schools that need private contributions to thrive.

But racial discrimination is unlawful and has been rightly repudiated by the American people. The corrupt silence concerning such discrimination in college and university admissions suggests that at some level these people know they are doing something for which they should be ashamed.

Unfortunately they are doing their intended beneficiaries no favors. That’s proved beyond demur by Sander and Taylor’s “Mismatch.” Black and Hispanic students tend to drop out of schools when they find themselves less well prepared than their schoolmates.

Those intending to major in science and engineering tend to back out of those fields. Many do not graduate yet are stuck with mounds of student loan debt.

Meanwhile, there appears to be a ceiling on the number of Asians in selective private schools, similar to the ceiling imposed on Jews there from the 1920s to the 1960s.

Just 19 percent of students at Stanford and 16 percent in the Ivy League are Asian — numbers that have remained static for two decades despite increasing numbers of Asian applicants.

This is, in my American Enterprise Institute colleague Charles Murray’s phrase, “discrimination against hardworking, high-achieving young people because of the color of their skin.” His word for it: “despicable.”

Before you say "WTF?" you probably should know...this all took place at a college in the wonderful State of Illinois....in the City of Decatur, which just happens to be located right about smack in the middle of the 13th Congressional District....the very same one in which another brain-addled RA prof is running for office against an alum of said college.

Quote:Illinois university backs psych professor even after learning he murdered family in 1967
By Joshua Rhett Miller /
Published August 08, 2013 /
FoxNews.com

An Illinois university is standing behind an award-winning psychology professor, despite the new revelation he gunned down his parents and sister when he was a teenager, spent time in a mental institution and changed his name.

Dr. James St. James, chair of [regionally accredited] Millikin University’s Department of Behavioral Sciences, joined the school in 1986, some two decades after he confessed to killing his mother, father and older sister with a .22 long-barrel rifle in Texas in 1967. A jury found the then-16-year-old — born James Gordon Wolcott — not guilty by reason of insanity and he was released six years later after being treated for paranoid schizophrenia. Two years later, in an attempt to restart his life, Wolcott changed his name to James David St. James.

James’ violent past was unknown to university officials until an expose by a Texas newspaper — the Georgetown Advocate — that revealed his troubled history in a series of reports last month. And despite calls by Decatur Mayor Mike McElroy and U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., for James to either step down or be placed on administrative leave, university officials are backing the man who won its Teaching Excellence and Leadership Award in 1997.

“[Regionally accredited] Millikin University has only recently been made aware of Dr. James St. James’ past,” the statement reads. “Given the traumatic experiences of his childhood, Dr. St. James’ efforts to build his life and obtain a successful professional career have been remarkable. The university expects Dr. St. James to teach at [regionally accredited] Millikin this fall.”

A spokesman told FoxNews.com Thursday that the liberal arts university would not be commenting beyond its statement issued last week and declined to discuss calls by Illinois lawmakers for the professor to leave the classroom.

“In all matters, [regionally accredited] Millikin University remains committed to its mission of delivering on the promise of education by preparing students for professional success, democratic citizenship in a global environment, and a personal life of meaning and value,” the statement concludes.

St. James, 61, declined to comment when reached early Thursday by FoxNews.com at his Decatur home.

“Have a wonderful day,” he said before hanging up.

McElroy, who did not respond to several messages seeking comment, told the Chicago Sun-Times that it would be the “right thing” for St. James to step down now that his past has been revealed.

Davis, who is also an alumnus of the 2,300-student university, said he’d like to see university officials act before [regionally accredited] Millikin University’s image is further sullied.

“My issue is I don’t want to see my alma mater have its reputation damaged,” Davis told the Chicago Sun-Times. “I’m a parent of a 16-year-old daughter who’ll have to choose a school in a few years. If my daughter said she wanted to be a psych major at [regionally accredited] Millikin, I hate to say, I’d have some concern.”

Davis, who graduated from the school in 1992 but did not have St. James as a professor, said he’d also like to know why St. James’ past wasn’t uncovered three decades ago when he was initially hired.

“At a minimum, they should put him on administrative leave to get to the bottom of why this wasn’t disclosed,” Davis continued. “I frankly don’t know why this guy would want to stay, especially with all the media attention he’s going to attract … Why bring the institution down?”

St. James, according to the Georgetown Advocate, was a brilliant teenager “by all accounts,” an accomplished musician and voracious reader. His father, Dr. Gordon Wolcott, was the respected head of the biology department at nearby Southwestern University; while his mother, Elizabeth, was a “vivacious” woman originally from South Carolina. His 17-year-old sister, Libby, was also known for her musical talent and affection for literature.

“They were exceptional people living what seemed to be a typical suburban life,” the newspaper reported Monday.

Minutes after midnight on Aug. 4, 1967, James, in his own account to reporter Ann Marie Gardner, “sniffed some airplane glue ‘to give him a boost’” and then loaded a .22-caliber long-barrel rifle before walking into the living room and shooting his father twice in the chest. He then shot his sister in the chest and face before doing the same to his mother, who was awakened by the initial gunshots.

“He later admitted that he had decided to kill them a week prior and made a plan the night before,” the Georgetown Advocate reports.

The Wolcotts' relatives from South Carolina arrived in Texas shortly after the killings. His uncle, according to the newspaper, concisely summed up his version of what happened.

“Jim has always been on the brilliant side, and he has gone berserk,” his relative said.

The perverts at DI seem to be on a nostalgia kick lately, longing for the glory days of Sheila and MIGS, Maxine and AWU....

What's next, Klempner and Greenwich, CPU, Fairfax, LIAR, Millard Fillmore, etc., etc.?

Quote:Students Sign Petition to Legalize 4th Trimester Abortions
by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 7/25/13 4:03 PM



Just how pro-abortion are some college students? They were happy to sign a fake petition to legalize abortions in the nonexistent fourth trimester of pregnancy.

The Media Research Center set up the fake petition drive and interviewed students to find out show how solidly they support abortion on demand for any reason throughout pregnancy — and beyond.

As MRC notes:

Once again, MRCTV’s Dan Joseph went to a college campus and asked students to sign a petition. This time the goal was to get people to show their support for legalizing 4th trimester abortion.

For those of you who failed biology, babies are born at the END of the 3rd trimester. For those of you who didn’t, watch this….

The big announcement--the one all Republicans in the 13th Congressional District of IL have been hoping for--idiot marxist George Gollin is running for the Dimocrap nomination!

Looks like it was a bad hair day for The Sphincter--or would that be a bad scalp day?? Clearly the photog knows a quality source of amusement and public ridicule when he sees one.

A "small crowd"???? Since when is a dozen people and a horse considered a crowd?

Do you think he discusses the phallic qualities of his food with dear old mom the way his daughter does?

Quote:UI physicist joins race for 13th District
Tue, 07/23/2013 - 3:41pm | Tom Kacich


George Gollin announces his candidacy to run in the Democratic primary for the 13th Congressional District at the Champaign County Fair on Tuesday July 23, 2013. Tuesday was Democrat Day at the fair.

URBANA -- There are now four candidates -- two Democrats and two Republicans -- in next year's 13th Congressional District race.

George Gollin, 60, a University of Illinois physicist from Champaign, announced Tuesday that he is joining the race with incumbent Republican Rep. Rodney Davis of Taylorville, GOP challenger Erika Harold of Urbana, and Democrat Ann Callis, a retired judge from Edwardsville.

In announcing his candidacy before a small crowd on Democrat Day at the Champaign County Fair, Gollin noted that Congress used to "put alliances aside and work together to solve problems that we face. They would compromise to effect solutions to the problems that confronted us. Alas, it is no longer this way."

Gollin asserted that "we need different people in Congress."

Without mentioning Callis, he said that "Congress is a place that's filled with lawyers. Now the law is an honorable profession, but lawyers are trained to argue and trained to dispute facts. What we need are people who work with facts."

What is needed in Washington, Gollin said, are "more facts and less argument."

Gollin begins the campaign -- he formally declared his candidacy last Thursday by filing with the Federal Election Commission -- at an organizational and financial disadvantage to Callis.

She reported last week that she had already had raised $226,076 as of June 30, and had $211,288 on hand. Callis also the organizational backing of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Gollin said he was unconcerned about Callis' finances and her head start.

"It's early on. Both of us are very early in this process. I'm known in universities. She's known, I assume, in the legal community," he said.

Nor was he dissuaded by the DCCC's involvement.

"The first time that Rush Holt, who is the older of the two physics Ph.D.s in Congress, won an election for Congress, he wasn't the DCCC's candidate either," Gollin said of the New Jersey Democrat serving his eighth term in the U.S. House. "His advice was, 'Just don't worry about the DCCC. Run a good race, learn how to be a good candidate.'

"David Gill (the Democratic candidate in the 13th District last year) was not the DCCC's pick. I find that David is a wonderful person. I find that his views tend to be close to mine in the things we've discussed. So I think it's best to run the best race I can and not worry about things I can't control."

He said he didn't have a fundraising goal.

"Enough so that I win all the elections that I'm ever in," he joked.

Gollin, who has been exploring a congressional race since April, said he has been encouraged to run by his academic colleagues.

"What I've been doing is talking to my colleagues in higher ed and mostly physics. Everybody has said that this is great," he said. "There's been nobody I've spoken to who's a scientist who's been anything other than wildly enthusiastic about this."

Gollin said he would continue his academic work at the UI this fall.

"I like everything I do. I love to teach. I love to do research with my students. This campaign stuff is very interesting. I think I have an idea of how to balance that all," said Gollin, who has been at the UI since 1989. "There will be gaps in which I can do the candidate thing."

In the spring, he said he will go on unpaid leave.

"I'm going to be taking a salary hit and I will stay on unpaid leave until I lose an election or decide to retire from the House," he said.

Somewhat ironic considering the state's dismal record on academic liberty. In some ways Oregon is good and in others its bad. Well at least its students will not be saddled with huge debts.
