************************************************* scribbled notes
I Thought We Were Going To Talk About The limbaugh dinner.
Oh. that. We can do that anytime. Just a boring Republican dinner. Everybody sitting around trying to look important and acting too important to talk to anybody. We'll do that tomorrow. Today, let's catch up on some of the scribbled notes I have. The story's already been told anyway. For the past 28 years, since Our Graduate Student wrote His Newsletters in 1982, there's been a conspiracy against him to keep him marginalized and impoverished and to destroy his reputation and brand him as a fraud, committed by the liberal fascist educators and politicians emanating out of sacramento with the cooperation of the useful idiot conservatives. I just have to fill in the details about the frame and entrapment attempts and that outrageous schwarzenegger prosecution. But, for now, The Mandelbroth Set.
The Mandelbroth Set ?
Yeah. I saw it on tv, on one of those learning programs. It's about this guy Mandelbroth who wrote this program and when you run in on a computer and graph it, it goes on and on and on forever in all kinds of recursive loops, repeating itself over and over and over again in repetitive designs. They call it "The Fingerprint Of God."
Wow ! Who Calls It "The Fingerprint Of God ?"
Those intellectual people on that learning channel did.
You mean them liberals ?
Yeah. Them learning channel people are liberals. Like I said, them conservatives are too stupid 'n ignorant to be able to discover Mandelbroth Sets.
Them liberals call it "The Fingerprint Of God !?"
I know. I already told you that. Ain't you listenin' ?"
Well, if God went and left a fingerprint, then we got him dead to rights. He exists. No use denyin' it. He left the evidence right there plain and simple in plain sight in The Mandelbroth Set. You can't leave a fingerprint without existin'. Even God prolly can't do THAT. And them there liberals is the ones what proved it for us ! The liberals done proved that God exists cuz they went and found his fingerprints, bein' all smarty pants with their Mandelbroth Set !
I reckon.
Whatsamatter ?
Nothin. I was just thinkin' about The Mandelbroth Set and all my scribbled notes. You know how the Russians have those dolls that are replicated over and over inside ? Each time you open one up, you find another one exactly like it inside. The Hindus and the Japanese have ideas like that too, I think, where the macro is represented by the micro and vice versa, the big is represented by the small and vice versa, like the way the solar system and an atom are similar. Then I started thinking about writing and how hard it is and how easy it is. Some times it seems really hard because they're so much to say and it seems like it's all so scattered and hard to pull together. Other times, it seems so easy, because wherever you are, whatever you write about, it's all there. I mean, it's like the story keeps happenin' and happenin' and happenin' and happenin' every year, everywhere in every way. You could tell the story of somebody givin' you dog food, and if you could explain it well enough, you could tell the story with just THAT.
Dog Food ?
Yeah. We'll get to that, since I've brought it up now. It's one of those connected things. But for now, let's clear up some scribbled notes. Sometimes I wonder if the story could be told from any one item in my scribbled notes. But, anyway, I scribbled this last night, basketballs class size to zero "mebbedeyno wahn u 2 no"
OK
They're talkin' about basketballs on the radio yesterday. President Obama goes to schools to encourage kids to excel and he always signs a basketball. Radio guy says he's sendin' the wrong message. He should maybe be signing a chess board or a computer or a science project or something. Our Graduate Student agrees. I mean, up there in Alaska in them native villages, the whole village life revolves around basketball. The ironic thing (I love to use that word. Nobody really knows what it means, I think. So they figure I must be a genius cuz I do, I think) Anyway, the ironic thing about it is that all them liberal educators is always goin' crazy yellin' about savin' them indigenous cultures and not imposing our Western Culture on them. D"Souza's "Illiberal Education" is full of that. Just read it. Only he ain't as easy to understand as I am all the time, but he's real scholarly, that's for sure. None a them smartass liberals can say they're smarter than him ! So, anyway, all them liberals wax prosaic (gotcha ! another cool phrase !) them liberal educators always wax prosaic about preservin' the native alaskans' indigenous culture and then them liberal schoolteachers go up there and turn every frikkin' native village into a frikkin' basketball camp. So they get to TALK all big and liberal and feel real good about themselves for it, but in reality they just go up there and collect really big salaries for being members of the teacher club and they turn the villages into american trash culture basketball camps. Then on another radio channel this talker's talkin' about how we gotta change our culture. That was in Ireland or England, I think but it don't matter. It's all the same everywhere. So, we need to change our culture and forget about schools, forget about saving "traditional public schools." I'd say that they're useless but that would be misleading. They're WORSE than useless. Theyr'e positively harmful. We need to start puttin' out more good, intersting educational videos and movies and books. class size to zero.
Huh ?
That's what I have scribbled under it. And that includes pods too. You see, kids go to school and they learn so much bad stuff that they'd be better off stayin' home or playin' with their friends. Then, throughout the day they could watch interesting educational videos and movies and explore some well-illustrated, well-written books. They learn to be bratty, anti-authority, victim-minded punks in the schools. Like their teachers. Focus on the curriculum. Focus on excellent curricula. And forget about the schools. Someday. Someday SOON, hopefully, they'll be an anachronism like other dungeons and torture chambers.
What's a pod ?
Oh yeah. Our Graduate Student subbed in one of them fancy, trendy suburbs once. They took down the walls, so like 3 or 4 or 5 classrooms were in one big room. They called the classes "pods." That's what they call groups of whales. Pods. They'll do anything to confuse you and make you feel out of it, out of the know. They start throwin' this word "pod" around and then wait with a sly look until Our Graduate Student asks what a "pod" is. Then they shake their head and roll their eyes like he is so last year doesn't know what a "pod" is. So, instead of children being in "school" like a school of fish, they're in "pod" like a pod of whales. "What did you learn in pod today, dear ?" Very Progressive. Then you got Larry King and Anderson Cooper talkin' a lot about "bullying" in the schools and what causes it and what to do about it and how to deal with it and they have Dr. Phil on and they're interviewing kids who used to be bullies and why they did it and all that. I understand. They got radio shows and they got to fill the time with something bullies. Paris Hilton. You can learn a lot about a country that way, by studying what they talk and write about. It's called content analysis (CITE "MEGATRENDS") The idea behind content analysis is that there's always the same amount of time for radio and tv shows, the same number of hours each day, and newspapers and magazines are usually about the same size issue to issue. So if they want to talk about something, something else will have to be bumped to made time or room for the new topic. By studying what's talked about or written, you can study the society and its trends. So, they're all carrying on about bullying. Now I love Andersoon Cooper. Everybody does. He's such a good person. And it would be a mistake to call him clueless. He's not. But about a year ago this bullying thing came up about this Irish high school girl who killed herself because of bullying here in America, and Anderson's interviewing the school districts' superintendent who did nothing but legally defend the principal's actions, or rather, lack of actions, saying that he didn't know. Of course, Anderson's a lot like I used to be. He expecting a good faith discussion. You'd think he'd know better, being a professional interviewer. He should be reading my book. Then he'd know that all these superintendents and principals and teachers are WORTHLESS SHITS. So, anyway, last night Anderson's on the radio talking to some enthusiastic young "experts" on bullying. See, this is the latest fad that education careers and bureaucracies are gonna be made of. It'll start with mandatory bully training. How to spot it, how to intervene. Interventions they call it. Use the word "interventions." It sounds more professional than "intervene." Nobody says "interventions" in real life. That'll make you sound smart, using professional jargon like that. Use unfamiliar sounding words that nobody uses in real life. How to recognize bullying, how and when to intervene, and how and when and to whom to report it. Then they'll have certificate programs in it. Then they'll make a course in bullying required to get your credential, and to get your credential renewed. They'll have majors in bullying, advanced degrees, masters and doctorates in bulling, and they a "Bully Studies" department. Bully Studies will become a political force allied with afro studies and white women's studies. Western Civ will have to be re-written again. "All intercourse is bullying." And so on, and so on... So this kid on Anderson Cooper, the "expert" on bullying, so he talks about the math teacher he met who pleaded that he only wanted to teach math, that he didn't know anything about bullying. Why they pick on math teachers all the time, I don't know. Somebody oughtta do a doctoral study on that. So this kid, the bullying "expert," just bubbled with hope and enthusiasm, sensing the teachable moment. "We can TEACH that math teacher about bullying," he exclaimed with joyous hope. Ah, yes, the teachable moment ! That silly math teacher thinks he supposed to teach math ! "We can teach that math teacher that his real job is to teach about bullying," the little boy bubbled. Don't forget dyslexia. We want our math and science teachers to be experts on THAT imaginary disorder ! And ADHD, too ! You know, the disorder that makes BOYHOOD into a disease and a crime. The energy and restlessness of boys is now a disorder, soon to be a disease, because the female dominated "traditional public schools" don't really like boys. No, that's not true. They HATE boys. They wish that all their students were girls. So they invent this disorder that boys are and give it a fancy sounding name and some intitials, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD. Why don't they just say that boys have COOTIES, like they used to ! It'd be a lot simpler. Didn't the feminists put up a big stink because pregnancy used to be classified as a disease or illness ? So, they oughtta know better, right ? Being a boy is not a disease or an illness ! It's a natural condition. Thank You. So, the math and science teachers are supposed to become experts on every fad. Bullying. Dyslexia. ADHD. Then they mainstream all the actual emotionally, physically, and mentally disabled kids, so math and science teachers have to learn all that. Then of course, there's sex. Every man is a rapist. Well, every WHITE man is a rapist. Blacks and hispanics are just delightfully hot-blooded. It's their indigenous culture (say "indigenous" a lot. It makes you sound "in the know." they started that in the late 60's on the campuses. Our Graduate Student was there, so he knows. In fact, Our Graduate Student is indigenous). Don't forget, math and science teachers. Every man gets drunk and comes home and rapes his daughter and gets he pregnant, leaving her with that horrible moral, emotional and legal dilemma of abortion. Then there's drug use. Gotta be able to spot drug use, math and science teacher. In fact, it might help if you take illegal drugs 'cause the white women know you're all not good, and if you get them complainin' about you bein' druggies it'll take their attention off all your other faults. Content analysis, you know. Besides, you're gonna have to be conversant with drug rehab programs and redemption 'cause all your kiddies will be havin' dramatic battles with drugs, like Lindsay Lohan. It's just the "in" thing to do. It's our culture. Our Graduate Student had to take this class to get his credential. It was about health. So they're talking about drugs and this white female in her 30's or so opens up and shares about how she's a recovered cocaine addict, and she used to have a $5,000 a day habit, and she just doesn't know HOW she got the money ! Our Graduate Student's thinking, "That's almost 2 million dollars a year !" That's what little children do - make up fantasy stories like that. mebbeday no wahn u 2 no.
Huh ?
Oh, this is as politically incorrect as hell ! In the summer of 2003, Our Graduate Student taught summer school at a high school in vacaville. between san francisco and sacramento. He was hired to teach fifth grade arithmetic to high school juniors and seniors who just REFUSED to learn it, for some reason. But that's not the point. It was somewhat racially mixed and somewhat violent. A young white girl got her jaw broken in the library or right outside it. It was kept hush hush, but Our Graduate Student heard about it (from the librarian, I think) So, anyway, he's fed up with this shit and he calls the local paper and he gets their education reporter on the phone, an asian girl, and he tells her about it and how apparently it's being hushed up and she says to him, "mebbe day no wahn u 2 no," real fast the way asian girls sometimes talk. Now, tell me. What's wrong with this picture ?
Um...Reporters Are Supposed To Discover The Truth, Discover The News And Report It And Not Help Cover Things Up ?
Yes. I told you asians just don't get. It's their culture. They don't UNDERSTAND. She didn't understand that her job was to report on the authorities when they misbehaved to report the bad as well as the good about schools. Maybe they just hired a nice, compliant asian female to fill their quota of minorities, to make their newspaper's yearbook photos look integrated. It's just as much a damnation of the newspaper as it is of that reporter. The newspaper didn't WANT to write any bad news about the schools. "Just let us know if any score goes up half a point and we'll make that our headline"

Solzenitzen (sp) wrote a whole book about just one day in a man's life, Ivan Iliych (sp). Another man wrote a whole book just about his thoughts that he had while drinking a cup of coffee. Hawkins, the physicist, wrote a whole book about a millisecond, "A Brief History of Time." So in small bits of time, one can find eternity. Similarly, in just two pages of D'Souza's "Illiberal Education," (pp. 7-8) one can find Our Graduate Student's story. "Baker emphasized the oral tradition, extolling the virtues of rap music and holding up as an exemplar such groups as Public Enemy and NWA. NWA stands for Niggers With Attitude. (ALL RIGHT. THERE YOU GO. THERE'S OUR GRADUATE STUDENT'S STORY RIGHT THERE. CONSTANTLY, OVER AND OVER, HE SEES THE WORD 'NIGGER' IN VARIOUS SCHOLARLY TEXTS, INCLUDING THOSE BY D'SOUZA AND RAVITCH. YET, OUR GRADUATE STUDENT HAS BEEN BLACKLISTED FROM TEACHING BECAUSE HE PRINTED THE WORD TWICE IN HIS 1982 NEWSLETTERS, EVEN THOUGH IN HIS CONTEXT HE WAS DEFENDING AFRICAN AMERICANS FROM THE WHITE FEMINIST BITCH'S CONTENTION THAT SLAVERY WAS NO WORSE THAN MARRIAGE. HAVE I MADE THAT CLEAR TO YOU YET ????!!! HUH !!!???? I CAN'T HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAR YOU !)
I Hear Ya.
In the next paragraph, Dinesh talks about leonard jeffried of ccny, New York's city college. jeffries says "that wealthy jews were responsible for financing the slave trade..." and that "...whites suffer from an inadequate supply of melanin." jeffries is the chair of the afro american studies dept, ccny, AND "coauthor of a controversial multicultural curriculum outline for all public schools in New York state. Moreover, such extreme views are now frequently expressed by black scholars and activists. "Many white students graduate from college with similar ideas." Dinesh quotes becky thompson (p. 8), women's studies professor at brandeis univ, who states, "'it is not open to debate whether a white student is racist or a male student is sexist. He/she simply is.'"
And under the heading "Life on Campus," (p. 8) Dinesh writes, "Most universities seek to promote 'pluralism' and 'diversity' on campus by setting up and funding separate institutions for minority groups...blacks, feminists, and homosexuals are regarded as oppressed victims... and permitted considerable license in their conduct." See what I mean ? It's all there, in less than two pages. I mean, I could have just taken those two pages and started my book from there and weaved the same tale of liberal fascist oppression and insanity as I did by starting out with The 1982 Newsletters. ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN IN SOME MORE DETAIL (GO INTO WELDON AND CCNY) DLGAS (P. 201) "to date, not a single book has been published that has questioned their education strtegies." *******Very Easily.
