Attempting To Do What The MSM Won’t

 

1. I read that-at Anti and Jawa-and I’m still suspect of Prof. Woolcocks explanation.

   It sounded too much like he was speaking a kinder ,gentler version of “academiaese” to cover his ass.
   Jury’s still very much out on this story.

2. I agree.  But just in case.....

3. I have doubts about Wollcock’s explanation. I found this at Students for Academic Freedom -
   “The final straw came when the class was instructed to complete a take-home final exam which consisted solely of the question: “Dye and Zeigler contend that the Constitution of the United States was not ‘ordained and established’ by ‘the people’ as we have so often been led to believe. They contend instead that it was written by a small educated and wealthy elite in America who were representative of powerful economic and political interests. Analyze the US constitution (original document), and show how its formulation excluded the majority of the people living in America at that time, and how it was dominated by America’s elite interest.”
   Despite the obviously slanted phrasing of the essay topic, Ahmad bravely chose to write an essay defending America’s Founding Fathers and upholding the Constitution as a progressive document which has contributed to freedom beyond America’s borders”

   If this was in fact the directions that Ahmad was given to write his final essay, I don’t blame him for writing the essay he did.
   I read his original essay, it certainly does not comply with the above instructions, but I like it none the less and Hurahh for him for bucking the instructions of his professor.

   Here is the link to the article quoted..
