Hello, Michelle Malkin readers! By Mary Grabar, Posted January 25, 2013: Dissident Prof was delighted that Michelle Malkin mentioned her by name yesterday and today. In today's Creators Syndicate column "Readin' Writin' and Deconstructionism," Malkin links back to the Dissident Prof's own article posted January 15 about Florida's Orwellian lessons and writes, "English professor Mary Grabar describes Common Core training exercises that tell teachers to read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address without emotion..."
In Part I on her series on Common Core, "Rotten to the Core: Obama's War on Academic Standards," she links back to the Front Page article: "Mary Grabar has written about Common Core and Team Chicago's lefties here."
Speaking of Orwellian and Florida, take a listen to a 3-minute recording of a statement by Pam Stewart, chancellor of public schools at the Florida Department of Education.
Twas the season, lo that merry month of December and on into mid-January, for the celebration of Christmas, Hannukah, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s birth.
As Dissident Prof gets ready to head to Washington for C-PAC, she learns from a dilligent reader about Big Labor's plans to "occupy" C-PAC. The D.C. AFL-CIO calls C-PAC an "elite conservative gathering," presumably of the 1%.
More money for mostly worthless college educations. Always more ways to get unprepared, unmotivated college students, especially at community colleges, to avail themselves of the resources so that they will stay in college (and keep the federal aid coming in). A study suggests requiring not only that students take remedial classes but that they avail themselves of the other remedial resources being offered, like those for test-preparation, study skills, and "student success" habits. Next thing you know, the feds will be providing escort service from bedroom to campus, with assistance in packing book bags.
The Document Dump from the White House happened after Dissident Prof had written her post last Friday. She saw notice of "New 'Diversity' Guidelines" on Phi Beta Cons first and then went back to read the directive from the departments of Justice and Education.
