"Mr. Lirtzman handed over 20 student programs, all of which showed that
administrators placed students in classrooms with uncertified teachers.
The investigator informed Mr. Lirtzman that these were confidential
documents.
"Now I am opening an investigation of you, she told him. It would be enough to bring a smile to the lips of Kafka"
“These are the most vulnerable kids, the ones no one really looks out
for,” Mr. Lirtzman said. “This wasn’t a gray legal area. This was black
and white, and the Department of Education decided that I was the
problem.”
Exhibit 2.
"The graduates of our social sciences and humanities programs are increasingly found wanting in the workplace. Unless they can find employment in a leftist dominated milieu (e.g., government, academia, public sector union, media conglomerate), the American business world finds them ill-equipped to function successfully in what remains of the US entrepreneurial society.
The costs of a university indoctrination--er, that is, education--have skyrocketed. In light of the previous bullet, consumers-- i.e., the students' parents--find it increasingly hard to justify the expense
Intense criticism of the faculty is on the rise: they can't teach; or what they teach is garbage or propaganda; they're too busy with their "research"; and they are overpaid.Administrative policies make no sense--multiculturalism trumps achievement, political correctness outweighs impartiality.Most damaging, our universities, after a prolonged period of indoctrination, return students to their parents in a form that parents cannot recognize--their opinions, values and behavior have been altered beyond repair. (To be fair, it is encouraging that a not insignificant percentage of college grads manage to resist the brainwashing on campus)."
Exhibit 3.
"It is rare for such students to be genuinely desirous and capable of learning how to improve. Most of them simply hope that I will come around. Their belief that nothing requires improvement except the grade is one of the biggest obstacles that teachers face in the modern university. And that is perhaps the real tragedy of our education system: not only that so many students enter university lacking the basic skills and knowledge to succeed in their courses — terrible in itself — but also that they often arrive essentially unteachable, lacking the personal qualities necessary to respond to criticism."
Exhibit 4.
"We got here in large part because the mainstream media is full of biased hacks and jokers, and our educational establishment cares more about preserving union power and money than about educating our young."
