Occupy Atlanta gets another Icon
It was just a matter of time . . . before Jesse Jackson showed up in the "Cradle of the Civil Rights Movement," here in Atlanta.
Although Jackson personally did not take part in the night time march last weekend, he did deign to offer his pearls of Historical Perspective to protestors and reporters gathered at his feet. Said the Icon, "'This is the cup running over. The people can't take it anymore.'"
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution dutifully recorded the Historical Event: "protestors were voicing dissatisfaction with banks" (yeah, I hardly earn any interest on my
Dissident Prof has incorporated! Dissident Prof is now registered as a non-profit corporation in the state of Georgia as Dissident Prof Education Project, Inc. Just got the checking account and EIN number. Now for the IRS paperwork. Dissident Prof believes she has 27 months to file the paperwork, so contributions might be tax-deductible now. She is a bit behind in dispatches because of all the paperwork, but promises not to take 27 months!
Speaking of contributions, she is extremely grateful for a start-up grant, and contributions from dissident supporter-citizens. Most recent ones include

It's been an exciting month with Dissident Prof testifying before the Georgia Non-Civil House Judiciary Committee on a bill that would deny illegal aliens the right to attend public colleges. Why did she feel like Whittaker Chambers? Maybe it was because an advocate of illegal behavior, one of the attendees of the Teach-In, accused HER of lying by shouting it out in the committee room.
A Ho Chi Zinn Week by Mary Grabar, posted July 27, 2012: The historians have spoken! And they have deemed The Jefferson Lies by David Barton and endorsed by Glenn Beck as the least credible history book in print. That was the finding in a poll on the History News Network. Among those criticizing Barton's book were two professors from Grove City College.
Coming in close (very close) behind, though, was Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. (But HNN's headline named only Barton.) Zinn earned the ire of 641 historians as opposed to the 650 who condemned Barton's book.
Starve the Beast! (yes, Big Bird) by Mary Grabar, posted July 20, 2012. Although it might seem hopeless with a Democrat-controlled Senate, funds should be eliminated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and for Americorps, the national service program. That's what Republicans in the House want to do in the budget, with alarm raised by the Associated Press (ever so subtly) about it pleasing the Tea Party (and by implication only a few extremists). But while the media may want to present PBS and Americorps as sacrosanct American institutions, the truth is that both are taxpayer-funded programs for indoctrinating the youth of the country.
By Mary Grabar, Posted January 4, 2013: As regular readers may remember, Dissident Prof tracked down the Hamilton College Porno Prof, Alessandro Porco, in a December 10, 2012, dispatch. That post focused on kink on campus. She had found out that Porno Prof landed on his feet as "Alex Porco" with a three-year contract at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington, after finishing up a year at Hamilton College. (Her first article was published on August 31, 2011, at Minding the Campus, "The Porno Prof at Hamilton.)
Since Dissident Prof's December 10 dispatch, other sites have reported on Professor Porco. Jay Schalin at the John William Pope Center for Higher Education Policy published a commentary on Porco titled "The Smutty Professor." He referred to some of the same sacriligious poetry and commentary by Porco on St. Augustine, as quoted in the site PopMatters.com.
