Whoever charges liberals with brainwashing is him/herself brainwashed through religious establishments or through the effects of the right wing....True, brainwashing happens in communist systems, but they are neither liberal or liberated themselves. In the US, it's the conservatives who must exert force to brainwash the uneducated. Why do you think they need to suppress public education but establish good schools for the rich? So they can maintain a class society where the liberals (and intellectually liberated) are the clear threat.<br /><br />Just think of the Michigan State professor William Penn removed from teaching responsibilities as his student(s) ratted on him because he dared to speak his mind, and that was so inexcusable to the far-right. The spineless board of turds gave in and moved against the professor...<br /><br />I may just assume that some of them may have been home schooled and not exposed to the discussions in such courses as Government. Of course, the right-wing has raped the country! They should have pursued college education via home schooling instead of imposing their narrow worldview on a liberated Civil Society...I forgot: right-wing brain slaves hate that concept, too!<br /><br />Links to the story: http://www.freep.com/article/20130905/NEWS06/309050139/MSU-Republican-professor<br /><br />http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/05/professor-censured-gop-rant/2771991/<br /><br />This has a link to the video -- I do not sense any bullying -- the professor demonstrated raw but free speech like Kid Rock does by wearing the confederate flag. What message does that send to a growing segment of US population that may have been victims of the Confederate South??? <br /><br />So, some are right to express their thoughts through hate symbols like swastika and confederate flag and uphold the 2nd amendment rights, but it is not okay for the opposite side to enjoy EQUALLY inalienable right to vote, to assemble, to speak, or live healthy lives (a right to life value to me...)? Or should we shut down the federal government yet again over which rights are more important to the xenophobic-paranoid-fascist right-wing in the US?

As a result, you will be seeing an additional STRS amount withheld from this pay and next pay to cover the additional 1% that was not withheld during the months of July and August. In order to minimize the impact, the additional withholding is being spread over the two pays that are being paid out during the month of October.<br /> <br />You can calculate the extra withholding by going to your myUt webpage and by pulling up your pay stubs from pays 14, 15, 16, and 17. Find the deduction – STRS ARP and multiply the associated Applicable Gross by 1% for each pay period, add all 4 together, and then divide by 2, and that will give you the additional amount that is going to be withheld from your pay.<br /> <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

Although I think there are better options let's at least state the truth as why the lot is needed. And as to one parking lot along Bancroft on property already owned by UT decimating Old Orchard property values, great real as with a large green space buffer and fences there is no impact except for a few homes. If UT was smart they would build it close to Bancroft and leave playing fields next to homes. Besides nothing is going to happen until the City rebuilds Bancroft as a crosswalk will be needed. Frankly the residents of Old Orchard, need to get over themselves before UT builds a ten story residence on that property.

Contrary to the false and i...We hold these truths…<br /><br />Contrary to the false and inaccurate accusations of our detractors, we are absolutely NOT opposed to real, quality education, higher or otherwise, nor are we opposed to UT per se, nor are we interested in meaningless buzzwords or meaningless semantic hairsplitting.<br /><br />We oppose racism, sexism, bigotry etc. – but believe the opportunistic and manipulative Marxist-Feminist Postmodern victim identity politics grievance industry, both on- and off-campus, in effect promotes these social maladies, while claiming to oppose them – and that those who ultimately suffer most from this grand political and ideological deception are women, minorities, gays, the young, the aged, the infirm, the poor, the disabled etc.. <br /><br />We regard true, quality, efficient, effective, accessible and affordable higher education to be EXTREMELY important to the greater public good.<br /><br />We accordingly oppose mediocrity, redundancy, incompetence, greed, hubris, mismanagement and political bias in higher education as exemplified by the Marxist-Feminist Postmodern pseudo-academic charlatan professors and administrators and various politicized pseudo-programs and departments – we oppose bloated, inefficient education bureaucracies and education funding methods, intransigent faculty unions and other unions, the overall egregious mismanagement of academic human and capital resources and the squandering of trillions of taxpayer education dollars – all of which have together produced dismal academic, economic and social well-being outcomes and served to cripple real quality higher education and the American economy and social fabric.<br /><br />We nonetheless believe there continue to be many outstanding dedicated people, programs and departments in higher education and at UT – EVEN in the arts, humanities, social sciences etc.<br /><br />We believe these fine professors and other people in higher education do support and should support substantive reforms, as we do – substantive reforms aimed at dismantling the corrupt and toxic influences of the Marxist-Feminist Postmodern academic, political and ideological matrix.<br /><br />We believe at least some recent efforts by the UT senior administration at least appear to be steps in the right direction.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044792945653054348.post-954884152807843702013-09-28T13:38:31.922-07:002013-09-28T13:38:31.922-07:00Anon 2:43
