Systems of education and its discontents

Sometimes people’s indifference shocks me.

Hey Kids! No more Barney for you!

PragerU needs to die in a fire. They are not educational, they are propaganda bullshit, period, full stop. Young Earth creationism, “slavery was actually pretty cool,” white supremacy, and so on. I don’t know that they have done any pro-pedophile work, but it would not surprise me.

I don’t have a link, but the radio just said that the USG Chacellor, Sonny Perdue JUST got another raise (to like $570,000). Meanwhile, I’ll be teaching 2 classes for a few thousand smackers over the course of the fall semester (I’ll get the contract this week and see my exact compensation then). But hey… we care about education and educators in GA!

I assume from the Perdue family? So, he probably needs the money. /s

No relation to the chicken company, surprisingly enough… his father was a farmer down in in the southern part of the state, but I don’t think his family was particularly wealthy prior to his rise in business and politics.

Yup, well, there you go. Not at all shocked or even mildly surprised. And this will not, in any way, affect the way this asshole is held in respect by the MAGAt wing. (Need I point out that he is neither trans nor a drag queen? I feel this needs to be noted.)

I wonder how many generations of inbreeding it took to make him?

Not to defend the loon, but is the quote part of a strawman argument of how atheists should be fine with incest? Which usually leads to the nonsense arguments that only religion can provide moral guidance, blah blah blah.

He starts with “There is no secular argument against…”, and the word “secular” jumped out at me.So I’m wondering whether the full transcript shows him defending incest or slandering secular society.

Either one shows a broken mind; I’m wondering which kind of broken.

I don’t think so, since particular students were neither named nor harmed in the making of these memes.

Reading them with Philomena’s voice in my head, I found many of them hilarious.

And sometimes inadvertently profound!
