BIAS ALERT: Elementary Students Told To Color A Picture Of Great American… ILHAN OMAR

All across the country we are hearing stories of children being discriminated against because of their support of President Trump and his battle cry, “Make America Great Again” (AKA “MAGA”).

He’s too controversial, they say. These students have been silenced and even suspended for daring to believe that he could be a great American, worthy of respect. As reported by Daily Wire:

For example, in 2018, a high school student from a public school in Oregon, Addison Barnes, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt supporting President Trump. “Donald J. Trump Border Wall Construction Co.,” the T-shirt read.

The student ended up suing the school and won on First Amendment grounds.

In March 2018, a student from a public school in Georgia caught her teacher on video lecturing about how terrible President Trump is, claiming he has “killed millions,” reported The Daily Wire:

“When my president says let’s Make America Great Again, when was he talking about?” sixth-grade teacher Johnetta Benton is heard asking, later suggesting that Trump means “[America] was great for Europeans,” but “when it comes to minorities, America has never been great for minorities.”

Last month, students were suspended for simply wearing gear with President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” logo.

Parents at a Southeast Valley high school are upset after they say school administrators demanded their children remove clothing and accessories that touted President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” logo.

Parents say at least one student was suspended in the Friday incident.

Conservatives would assert that there is political bias within the union-dominated public schools, while Liberals would assert that there is a need to stay out of politics for the sake of safety in the classroom. So what’s the truth?  Is there overwhelmingly slanted political bias, or are the public schools just getting a bad press?

A blogger at Powerline claims that he has uncovered a story about an assigned report/coloring project at at least two public schools in Minneapolis where the students needed to color a picture of Ilhan Omar, and then write a report about her on the other side of the page.

Note the following statement from the author of the article, John Hinderaker:

“This photo came from a public elementary school in Minneapolis. I’ve been told that the same coloring project has been reported in at least one suburban school district, but I don’t have definite confirmation of that yet.”

Do we need more evidence than what is presented in the photo? Indoctrination is scary, and unfortunately, widely accepted in the public schools.

Don’t believe me? How do you respond to the heretical songs taught to elementary students, like the following?

“Hmm, hmm, hmm, Barack Hussein Obama! He said, “Red and yellow, black and white, all are people in his sight!”  Hmm, hmm, hmm… Barack Hussein Obama!”

Still don’t believe me? Just watch at around 1:12 on the following video to watch it for yourself:

When I was a kid, the only person who got credit for loving all the children of the world (red and yellow, black and white) was Jesus.

So what do you suppose the public schools are trying to teach youngsters about Obama? That HE’S actually the savior? Disgraceful.

Whether or not you agree with me, you have to admit that there is clear bias when you can’t wear a T-shirt that says “Make America Great Again” but you can rewrite church songs about Jesus Christ to make it seems as though Obama is the one that deserves all the praise.

Harvard Professor's Conservative Views Get Him Disinvited From Canadian University

A conservative Harvard University professor has been disinvited from giving a talk at Canada’s Concordia University, because of his traditional views on gender.

Harvey Mansfield had been invited by Concordia to deliver the university’s spring commencement address to its Liberal Arts College. The address was to coincide with the university’s 40th anniversary celebration in May. Mansfield is a professor of great books and Western thought, and has been teaching at Harvard for 50 years.

But then the university abruptly rescinded its invitation. In a letter, Principal Mark Russell told Mansfield that Concordia faculty and staff regretted they "were unable to reach consensus as to what we wanted to achieve with this event." Russell claimed that the selection committee "acted in good faith but rather precipitously" when it invited Mansfield to deliver the address in the first place.

According to Mansfield, however, that was not the real reason for the disinvitation.  

“What had taken place,” Mansfield wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Sunday, “I learned but not from him, was a faculty meeting prompted by a letter from 12 alumni that demanded a reversal of the committee's invitation because my ‘scholarly and public corpus … heavily traffics in damaging and discredited philosophies of gender and culture.’”

“Promoting ‘the primacy of masculinity,’” Mansfield continued, “apparently a reference to my book ‘Manliness,’ attracted their ire. Though I was to speak on great books, not gender, this ‘trafficking’—as if in harmful drugs—disqualified me without any need to specify further. Such sloppy, inaccurate accusation was enough to move a covey of professors to flutter in alarm.”

Mansfield also admitted that the snub was not necessarily unexpected. "The invitation was a surprise, and the rejection less of one, because I am a white male conservative professor," wrote Mansfield.

In an email, Russell had written, "We heard from many that they would not attend the event because they objected to the views he has expressed publicly on women and homosexuals .... A majority of LAC faculty decided it was best NOT to have Professor Mansfield give the keynote address at the College's reunion since it is intended to be a time of celebration and unity."

Not all Concordia alumni agreed with the university’s decision, however. In a letter addressed to alumni, Julie Amblard, president of the college's alumni society, Frederick Krantz, the co-founder of the college, and current Concordia professor Eric Buzzetti criticized the decision to disinvite Mansfield.

"We are saddened that some alumni of the (Liberal Arts College) thought it appropriate to attempt to silence a scholar with whose views they happen to disagree," their letter read. "We are also saddened that their attempt was successful."

Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program at Princeton University, also spoke out against the university.

“Now this. This is insanity. Harvey Mansfield is one of the most accomplished scholars and eminent teachers of political philosophy in the world,” George wrote in a tweet.

Buzzetti said the scheduled events celebrating the school's 40th anniversary might be postponed to the fall semester, or they may not happen at all.

"I hope something will happen," Buzzetti said. "But it is a bit difficult to organize something and then turn your back on a speaker. It will certainly not happen in May."

'White males' should be BANNED from speaking during university classes so women and transgender students are more willing to contribute to discussions - seminar suggests

A workshop at one of Australia's top universities discussed banning white male students who look like Liberal Party voters from speaking in class.

The seminar titled How Privilege Manifests in Tutorials was held last week by the University of Melbourne Student Union.

Attendees discussed ways to make tutorials and lectures more inclusive by encouraging women, transgender, foreign and gay people to speak up more.

One proposal was to ban 'white, male students' and 'students resembling Liberal voters' from speaking.

This caused outrage among members of the student Liberal Club.  Thomas Carlyle-James, 21, said it was unfair to paint this stereotype of Liberal voters. 'There's generally this sort of idea that Liberals are all racist, rich, white kids,' he told The Australian.

'I know plenty of Liberals and none of them are racists and they aren't as wealthy as people think and are also from all different ­nationalities.'

The workshop was one of many held last week during the Student Union's annual event titled Radical Education Week.

Other workshops were titled Feminist History of Capitalism; Burn the Prisons Down & Tear Apart the Walls; and Climate vs Capitalism: Eco-socialism as an Alternative.

Student Union president Molly Willmott defended the workshop. 'This is not about stopping people from speaking,' she said. 'We're a university that encourages free speech.

'It's about giving space to people who don't feel included on university campuses because of things like gender, language (and) queerness.'

A University of Melbourne spokeswoman said: 'This is a workshop run by UMSU.' 'What is discussed is not university policy.'
