students grammar mistakes?  - Photo Credit  Advance the Struggle

If you are a college student in Obama’s America then you are wondering if the protest at UCLA is a throwback to the 1960’s civil rights era or is it  just Affirmative Action 2013.  Whether or not racism is alive and well on the left coast at UCLA, it appears that a white professor who has been targeted by some minority students is certainly not engaged in discrimination.

What is his alleged sin?  He is accused of correcting the grammar of some minority students who did not conform to graduate level standards, reported the Young Conservatives.  Is it a crime?  Maybe it is a crime, but Professor Val Rust of the Graduate School of Education & Information Studies did not commit it.  That most onerous crime was committed by teachers of these minority students in K-12 and perhaps even undergraduate studies.

This is tragic because all too often, minority students who are not working at the graduate level standards which are expected are far too easily drawn to the post-Obama era “Somebody did this to me…and they are probably white,” sloganeering.  In a hot minute you can expect the civil rights Calvary headed to the UCLA campus in the guise of General Incompetent Al Sharpton and Colonel Rhyme-a-Lot Jesse Jackson.

Former President George W. Bush would have labeled the problems these minority students face as the soft discrimination of low expectations. After all, Rust was quite clear about his alleged issues with the student’s performances. Professor Rust explained in a letter to the department that,   ”I have attempted to be rather thorough on the papers and am particularly concerned that they do a good job with their bibliographies and citations, and these students apparently don’t feel that is appropriate.”

So what exactly are these students expecting the result to be by engaging in an endless series of 60’s era sit-ins and protests?  Are standards in graduate schools supposed to be lowered and lesser levels of achievement supposed to be acceptable?

State Sen. Dan Patrick, chairman of the senate education committee, told Fox News he is very disturbed by the photograph as well as reports that students were exposed to a story that blamed Egypt’s turmoil on democracy – rather than the Muslim Brotherhood.

“Parents are very sensitive to any issue that seems to be anti-American – that blames democracy for some sort of trouble in the world,” he said.

A Texas mom became outraged after she discovered a Facebook photo of her child wearing Islamic garb.

The lesson on Islam was taught in a world geography class at Lumberton High School.

Sally Mae ‘Next Economic Flashpoint
Aiming toward Disaster,’ Warns Moody’s
 
 
            How dare these credit-rating agencies continue giving Barack Obama all this heat? Last week Standard & Poors lowered the Federal Government’s rating on bonds and U.S. paper from Aaa+ to an unheard of low Aa+ and also downgraded the government-owned mortgage giants Fanny Mae or Freddy Mac in the same fashion. And now the credit-raters at Moody’s are telling BO that the national student loan program (which Barack took away from the free markets and gave over entirely to the government roughly thirteen months ago) a.k.a. “Sally Mae” has within it the makings of the economic surprise-disaster of the year. 
            It works like this: just as the government decided 34 years ago that everybody must own their own home (by FORCING mortgage loan companies to make poor loans to unqualified buyers with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 a.k.a. CRA ‘77) and took the percentage of “suspect home loans” in the nation from 0.24% in 1975 to 34.2% by 2005 . . . the Obama administration has likewise decided to extend the idea of college loans to virtually every young person in the country. And just as the sub-prime lending crisis that sunk our economy from 2005 to 2008 was predictable from the very day President Jimmy Carter signed CRA ’77 into law . . . this Obama-formatted Sally Mae boondoggle, too, has a very predictable ending akin to a banana peel being dropped under your moving feet.  
The obvious result of Sally Mae’s creation will be seen when all these new college grads will have ZERO jobs awaiting them when they leave school . . . with no jobs, they’ll have no noteworthy income other than food stamps (which Obama has recently authorized for college students as you probably know) . . . with only food stamps as “income” these students will not be able to repay their student loans e-v-e-r . . . and the effect of all those student loan defaults will, Moody’s appraisal of the situation warns, very likely mean that the present S&P Aa+ rating will degenerate into a much, much lowered rating by S&P, Moody’s, Fitch’s and other credit-rating agencies. The size of the now expanded student loan program will ensure that America’s debt to GDP ratio rises from its present 110% (following recent authorization to expand the debt-ceiling to $17 TRillion) to a Greece-like 128%. 
Meanwhile Europe is burning courtesy of the riots in England; and the economic collapses of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Hungary; and now perhaps Belgium and France as well . . . all the while the U.S. economy seems to be more and more rivaling these pathetically-poor (p-poor?) European role models. Just as an old folk song asked us Where Have All the Flowers Gone? and then led listeners upon a tragic house-that-Jack-built type story that wound up with all the military graveyards bursting into bloom . . . the Sally Mae program is a program created by blooming idiots holding the seeds of future economic disaster.
In response to the revelations by Moody, the Obama spin doctors and the Obama puppet master George Soros via his CREW people have been going wild trying to cover the President’s golf-playing tush. CREW, of course, is the much-quoted supposedly neutral (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) research group. Funded by Soros, (figures NOT included within the main $48 million in media funding that Soros has sponsored this year) CREW has never run a positive story on Sarah Palin and never run a negative story on Barack Obama and runs highly negative stories on Conservative issues eight times for every single mildly negative story on liberal matters . . . according to CREW, of course, the newly Obama-formatted Sally Mae is the greatest thing to happen to young people since condoms. Condoms with holes in them . . . more likely . . . .
As another gross and needless debacle looms, friends, can’t you just see young Barack holding the axe in his hand above the fallen economic oak known as the free market, “No, Father, not me -- the Tea Party, did it!”
