finish scc, the sla hideout

****************************************************************************

OK, I Just Gotta Know. What The Heck Is This About "the sla hideout" ? You Have It In These Last Two Chapter Headings. Tell Me About the sla hideout.

scc. sacramento city college was the sla hideout. Dean Haro told me.

What!?

Yeah. Our Graduate Student met Dean Haro almost two decades later at a fast food place in Davis, Ca. He'd been retired a while, had a heart attack or two, gettin' old. Nice thing about old people is they don't give a fuck any more. They'll say whatever the hell they want to. So they're sittin' there munchin' french fries, Dean Haro talkin' away and he mentions that Patty Hearst was takin' classes there when she went "underground" and "we all knew."

Who's "we?" ?

I dunno. Go figure. He'd been talkin' about scc faculty. I don't see nobody else ! "You talkin' about ME, wise guy ?"

Very Funny.

I try.

So That's All You Know About It? That Patty Hearst Took Classes There ? And You Put It In The Title of Two Chapters!?

Hey. Writin' titles is an art form, pal. An art form. You're talkin' to an artist here. Like Diane Ravitch. You seen that title she wrote in DLGAS for chapter two? Artistry. Artistry. Sheer Artistry! "Hijacked! How the Standards Movement Turned Into the Testing Movement" Oh! Beautiful! Beautiful! See? She's rattin' out Lynne Cheney for bein' a hijacker, for hijackin the Standards Movement and turnin' it into the Testin' Movement, like I'm rattin' out the sla an' scc !

Why You Rat ! You Dirty R

SHUT UP!

shut up or I'll plug ya full a holes ! They had it comin' to 'em, I tell ya. They're no good. No good, I tell ya !

All Right, ALL Right ! You Win. Now Let's Get On With This Dirty, Rotten Story.

It's like this, see? The main point of this entire narrative is to show the conspiracy against Our Graduate Student that he uncovered over the years. sac city was his neighborhood community college. It was a half mile away from his house, a brisk, healthy 15 minute walk. He'd already taken classes there. But, after The 1982 Newsletters that he wrote a few miles away at sac state, he encountered a hostile environment there, a hostile learning environment from the faculty, see?

Sure. Sure, I Get It. How Hostile Were They ?

As hostile as they could, pal. If he didn't fight back, who knows how far they would have gone !? mchugh, the angry, frustrated, hate-filled former jesuit priest, had this FAKE Mythology in his head that Our peaceful, letter-writing Graduate Student was a violent terrorist ! He was insinuating that Our Graduate Student was taking chemistry classes to learn how to kill people and make bombs ! That's what the liberal and leftist RADICALS were doing ! not peaceful, letter-writing Neocons like Our Graduate Student. Crazy, frustrated, radical, violent jesuit priests, like the berrigan brothers were blowing things up with bombs! If Our Graduate Student didn't stop hulbe, the fat, roley-poley astronomy teacher, and mchugh, the hostile, frustrated former jesuit priest, and their campaign against him by exposing and challenging their hostile behavior, who knows how far the escalation would have gone !? They definitely would have run him off the campus, and they would have got him arrested if they could have provoked a confrontation, that's for sure! They might have provoked other students to attack him ! We will show how Our Graduate Student fought off similar attempts to get him over the next two decades, and how they eventually DID imprison him, resulting in his flight from california in 2006 as a Political Refugee!

Aren't We Being A Little Dramatic ?

No. We're Not. But, of course, it doesn't fit your MYTHOLOGY, does it ? You know, shortly after Our Graduate Student fled to Middletown, near Harrisburg PA, he read the local Harrisburg paper, "The Patriot News." There was a very self-congratulatory story in "The Patriot News" about a young refugee family from South Korea, living "somewhere" in the Harrisburg area (underground, like the sla, no doubt), being protected and supported by good-willed locals. Oh! They were so pleased with themselves ! Sooooooooooooo pleased with themselves ! And it was all just too too chic ! So very, very, tres, tres chic, I'm sure ! I mean, the young Korean man got on the plane in Korea just in time ! just before the authorities came to get him. It'll do so much for harrisburg tourism. The nice young couple from Peoria or Lake Wobegon will be vacationing with their young children and, as they walk on a downtown street, she'll see a young Korean couple, also walking the downtown streets with their young children. She, the young white woman, being quicker of mind and observation, and more perceptive and intuitive than her husband, will notice them first. "Oh, look ! honey. Maybe that's that political refugee from Korea. What a lovely family. Don't stare honey ! We don't want to make them afraid ! Let's just walk pass them and smile and let them know they're welcome here in America ! Let's wink at them, honey, so they'll know that we know who they are but that their secret is safe with us !" So they pass close by the Korean couple, smiling and winking at them. "Oh, honey ! I'm afraid ! That crazy American woman is acting so strange. Maybe she's one of those sex perverts we heard about. All those white american females are sex perverts ! She probably wants her whole family to have sex with our family !! But if a white man has sex with pretty girl, the american white females imprison him. They're so jealous ! They're so controlling ! They're crazy, honey ! Oh, hurry, honey ! Finish up your business ! I want to get back to Korea right away !" Oh, yes, it's too too tres chic. Soon downtown harrisburg will have a revitalization program based on the allure of possible sightings of young Korean refugee families who got out just in the nick of time. Meanwhile, they have an actual (not imaginary) real, live, home-grown refugee in their midst, but they'll never recognize him. They'll just fuck with him and keep him marginalized and impoverished. Acknowledging HIM would expose their FAKE Mythology ! He'll go to church to join in the community, and there a retired fbi agent will take him aside and tell him he better be cool. They're always doing that at truck stops and churches and wherever. That's their motto. intimidate. intimidate. intimidate. Oh, the wonderful Mythology that we're so wonderful. We give shelter to foreign refugees who arrive here starry-eyed and grateful and amazed at our goodness, Oh, it's so feel-good about ourselves ! It's so CHIC, like SoHo. So CHIC. We're with it, baby. Harrisburg has their own refugee ! Just like Davis, ca, has their own Superfund Site ! Somewhere between the golf course, the country-club campus, and the corn field davis, ca has it's very own Superfund site ! Gotta have something that makes your town cool and with it and chic. But a white American guy as a refugee !? No Way !!! That doesn't fit the Mythology !!! A refugee that WE created !? Who's fleeing us !? We'll just ignore him and pretend it never happened. We'll call him crazy. Offer him $400 a month for a mental disability. Besides, HE's not starry-eyed and grateful. He's mad as hell ! His eyes are full of condemnation, contempt, and rage ! We want starry-eyed and grateful refugees that we rescue from OTHER people, the BAD people. We don't want to have to admit that WE're the BAD people, that WE're the people who made a Political Refugee out of Our peaceful, letter-writing Graduate Student, that we've forced HIM underground like the sla. By the way, did you know that mary jane olson (soliah) (soliah, that's another cool-SOUNDING word. sounds like "soul", like "soul brother", "soul sister", "soul sistah" take out the s,s,t "soul i ah" yeah, that's right ! mary jane olson, aka soliah, is a REAL soul sistah, just like Eldridge Cleaver. she gets her five-year sentence, her slap on the wrist for murdering a church lady, and she mocks that she's gonna write a cookbook in jail, just like Eldridge Cleaver. recipes for revolution, no doubt. Oh! they're so witty, clever and superior, don't they think of themselves ! But, you know, mary jane olson is a WONDERFUL person. She lived up there near Laura Ingram Wilder. Neighbors! she was in a school play. THAT's RIGHT ! she was in a school play ! When she went underground, after murdering a church lady while robbing a bank, she was in a school play ! Well, that certainly wipes the slate clean, doesn't it? She's a wonderful person, said "the sacramento bee" because she was in a school play ! So we can't EXECUTE HER the way anybody else would be executed for doing what she did. We can't BURN HER AT THE STAKE FOR BEING THE WICKED WITCH SHE REALLY IS ! No ! She was in a school play ! That's what "the sacramento bee" said. That made her wonderful. But the sacramento bee doesn't like Patty Hearst, the 19-year-old girl who the sla kidnapped and kept in a closet for 57 days. And neither did the fbi ! They FUCKING PROSECUTED the kidnapped 19-year-old girl for being a terrorist ! I'd like to see that fucking punk of a prosecutor spend 57 days in a god-damned closet at gunpoint and not go crazy ! One day and he'd go crazy. But, whatever, he's crazy already anyway, a real fucking punk. A Shout Out to You, Patty Hearst, Sister ! The best revenge is living well, they say.

Soliah went UNDERGROUND !? On the Lamb !? Fleein' the Federalis !? Hangin' out in Sancho Panza's Hideout !? Meetin' "me and Julio" down by de school yard !? Me too ! I wanna be one of the cool kids, too ! I wanna go on the lam and go underground

and go to underground cafes... Of course, the murdered church lady's son had to PULL FUCKING TEETH to get the sacramento district attorney (jan scully) to prosecute mary jane. "They didn't have enough evidence" was the excuse, I think. Even though mary jane had admitted to the shooting, or there were eye-witnesses or videos or something. "The shotgun went off ACCIDENTALLY" she said. The loaded shotgun that she brought into the bank lobby to commit a robbery and that she pointed at the church lady went off ACCIDENTALLY and ACCIDENTALLY killed the church lady. sla terrorists don't kill people ! loaded SHOTGUNS accidentally kill people ! You silly americans ! But that sacramento district attorney (jan scully) didn't have to have any teeth pulled to get her to arrest Our Graduate Student as a felony fugitive for carelessly collecting 100 or so signatures in his whimsical venture to receive one official vote as a write-in candidate for governor in the 2003 recall election in california. Are you paying attention ?

Yes. And I'm Getting Sick.

Good. That's a good sign. And mad. Mad, I hope. You see, this story's been playin' out for a looooooooooooong time. They've been tryin' to get Our Graduate Student for a looooooooooooong time, and it's so unbelievable that it even took Our Graduate Student a looooooooooooong time to put the pieces together. It's so unbelievable to those who ascribe to the liberal Mythologies, like the Mythology that it's Betty Crocker who participates in school plays, that it's Dorothy in her red slippers who participates in school plays, that it's Opie's teacher who participates in school plays, that it's Beaver's teacher who participates in school plays, that it's Diane Ravitch's Mrs Ratliff who participates in school plays... it's so much a part of our feel-good mythology that teachers are angels and saints that it's very discomforting to accept that teachers and their conspirators have persecuted Our Graduate Student. So, we have to explain

THE WHOLE PICTURE

You see, if mary jane olson (soliah) can walk into a suburban bank to commit a bank robbery under the auspices of a terrorist group (the sla) and murder a church lady making church deposits in plain sight and then get an wink and a tap-on-the-wrist 5-year sentence, ONLY after tireless prodding by the murdered woman's son, because of the mitigating circumstance that she was later

in a GOD DAMNED MOTHERFUCKING SCHOOL PLAY !

while she was underground, we got some real stubborn education Mythologies to bust. some real stubborn Mythologies about the supposed "wonderfulness" of liberal, white, entitled, american females that need to be exposed and busted

I'm With Ya. We DO Have To Be Reminded Of These Things. In Fact, Some Of This Stuff I Didn't Even KNOW !

That's right. Information Overload. That's how they get away with it. Just like today, there was just too much happening for everyone to know what was going on. Just like me. Even though I participated in campus disorders, it wasn't until I read Diane Ravitch's historical accounts of them in "Left Back" and "The Troubled Crusade" that I put the whole story together. Similarly, we have to tell the WHOLE story to explain the conspiracy against Our Graduate Student. We can't just say, "U.S. senator barbara boxer and yolo county education administrator elizabeth ruport and other feminist and liberal educators and politicians based out of northern california, tried to entrap and frame Our Graduate Student with a fraud rap and destroyed his teaching career because they didn't like what he wrote in His 1982 Newsletters at sac state." We can't just say that, even though it's true, even though it's a true summary. People want to know, "Where's the beef?" You want it?

You Got It.

Here it is.

OK, Tell Us The Rest of the sac city story.

Not much more to tell about sac city, really. The main point is that Our Graduate Student was astonished and hurt to find all that hostility because he was just an enthusiastic student with a good attitude, grateful for another opportunity to educate himself. He was surprised and angry to discover that they were fucking with him over those Newsletters he had written at sac state a couple of years ago. Pretty damn childish of them, he thought. He had let it go in the summer of '82. Past. done. over with. history. move on. It had been a routine, commonplace exercise in Free Speech for Our sophisticated, cosmopolitan, intellectually mature Graduate Student raised in the New York City culture. He had actually moved to california for its reputation as a trend-setting state. Never did he expect them to be so intellectually immature and childish. So, he dealt with hulbe and mchugh, the fat astronomy boy and the angry, frustrated jesuit drop out. mchugh was a drop out, basically. he dropped out from the jesuits. mchugh the dropout.

What's This About ?

Oh, just havin' a little fun. It keeps you from goin' crazy, you know! Our Graduate Student was talking to mchugh one day and mchugh was getting his moral righteousness all worked up about the imaginary badness of Our Graduate Student, and mchugh yells, "You, sir, are a

a dropout !"

Our Graduate Student didn't know whether he should laugh or respond or whatever. These nitwit hating liberals are always surprising you, ya know? So, Our Graduate Student, somewhat taken aback and confused, replies, "Well, I have a B.A. degree from UC Davis that says I'm not !" mchugh didn't realize that he had taken on a champion word-fighter from Hazelwood Avenue in Newark, New Jersey. "Anything you say bad about me, I'm rubber. You're glue. Anything you say good, I'm glue, you're rubber." Our Graduate Student was a tenth degree black belt word-fighter. "Oh yeah ? I have a B.A. degree from UC Davis that says I'm NOT a dropout !" (as if that was something to brag about lol !) Whaddya have to say about THAT, loudmouth mchugh ? mchugh was left speechless Oh yeah ? Yeah! Oh yeah ? Yeah! Oh yeah ? Yeah! So's your mother ! Your mother, too ! It coulda gone on like that, I suppose. Now, Our Graduate Student just realized that mchugh WAS A DROPOUT ! from the jesuit order. Too bad Our Graduate Student didn't think of it back then when they were callin' each other names. He coulda said, "BACK ON YOU !" He really WAS rubber and mchugh really WAS glue when he said those bad, hurtful things. Is it too late to sue sac city for intentional infliction of emotional distress ?

All right. ALL RIGHT ! That's Enough. What Else About sac city ?

Not much. Our Graduate Student dealt with the hostility in a professional, mature manner and made a friend and colleague in Dean Richard Haro. Haro blocked for him, he could tell.

How So ?

Well, after that summer school chemistry class, Our Graduate Student enrolled in math and chemistry classes and started to work as a tutor in the "Math Lab". Sort of an oxymoron, don't you think ? I mean, there are no beakers or bunson burners in a math lab. But, anyway, that's what they call it out there. Our Graduate Student worked in the math lab for about a minimum wage. Better than driving a forklift and lumping freight. The place was swarming with feminist math teachers and high-powered female math students. It was the politically correct thing. Still is. Get the females into traditionally male classes and occupations. But they walked on egg shells around Our Graduate Student. But there's always one who tips their hand. There was this young math student who also worked in the math lab and she was always chatting up Our Graduate Student and she'd let little comments slip out so he could figure out what the female instructors on the campus were telling them to say. She compared him once to Germaine Greer, the author of "The Female Eunuch." (CHECK THAT OUT) It really surprised him. In later years, he came to realize that it was only the feminists who respected him. It was sort of a backhanded compliment, the was they persecuted him and tried to frame him as a fraud. "Well" he thought, "at least they think I MATTER, that what I did was significant, worthy of notice and punishment by those at the highest levels !"

That's Interesting.

Yes, the feminists were smart enough to understand that The 1982 Newsletters were significant, prescient, and apparently the script for the rush limbaugh program, the beginning of a trend that would culminate with "Illiberal Education" by Dinesh D'Souza and "The Language Police" by Diane Ravitch. But the conservatives just swept him under the rug rather than recognize his contribution. Assholes.

There's an interesting story about that girl that gives some historical context to the racial and sexual politics on campus (REFER TO D'SOUZA AND BERKELEY ADMISSIONS) She was a math whiz (talk about it) and applied to Berkeley She didn't get in (cite D'Souza) (do a piece on all those poor people without advantages who did very well academically and intellectually, like Lincoln, Franklin, Frederick Douglas, DuBois, Tom Sowell and other contemporaries)

So, Did Our Graduate Student Have A Good Year Taking Classes And Tutoring ?

Yes, he did. He read in the newspapers that there was a "critical shortage" of math and science teachers (there ALWAYS is) so he took The National Teachers' Exams in math, physical science, social science, and the general knowledge test and scored high enough to get credentialed as a teacher in those areas, so he decided to get a teaching credential.

So, Nothing Else Eventful ?

Well, he did have a romance for a couple of months with a cutie he met in the International Club.

Oh yeah ! Now You're Talkin' ! Lotsa Hot Sex With A Young Coed ! Let's Hear About THAT !

No. Just a stolen kiss on the cheek once. And a broken heart. That's all. Besides, none of your fucking business !

You Brought It Up !

You asked !

Your mother !

Your own mother ! And I'm rubber, you're glue for anything bad you say !

OK, OK ! I Give ! I Give ! You Win. You Win.

Well, there was one thing.

What Was That ?

There was this one, big amazon girl, big norwegian or irish or something, kinda reddish and BIG like a viking warrior or something. She was smart and the darling of the feminist math cabal. She managed the math lab. She was on her way to Berkeley. So, after Geraldine Ferraro got selected to be the Vice Presidential nominee, she starts wearing a button. Can't remember what it said. Some kind of feminist message. So, Our Graduate Stu

DON'T TELL ME !

So, Our Graduate Student goes out and gets his own button made,

"I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A WHITE MAN !"

and wears it in the math lab.

Oh, My ! Gotta Love A Guy Like That !

That's what we like to think.

So, What Happened ?

She took off her button. Our Graduate Student took off his. They eventually ran him out of the math lab.

So, That's It For scc ?

All I can remember now. He had enough units to get an Associate's Degre (A.A.) in Math, Science, and Engineering, so he did. So he got a two-year degree AFTER he got his four-year degree, but he figured he should get it because it was in math, science, and engineering, not history. He got a job as a garbage man (sanitation crew worker) for sacramento county for about six months, and then enrolled in the teacher ed program back at sac state.

OK

Very Easily.
