The Terrifying Decline

A university professor laments the precipitous decline he has observed in the ability of his students:

I work as a professor for a uni on the east coast of the USA. What strikes me the most is the decline in student writing and comprehension skills that is among the worst I’ve ever encountered. These are SHARP declines; I recently assigned a reading exam and I had numerous students inquire if it’s open book (?!), and I had to tell them that no, it isn’t…

My students don’t read. They expect to be able to submit assignments more than once. They were shocked at essay grades and asked if they could resubmit for higher grades. I told them, also, no. They were very surprised.

To all K-12 teachers who have gone through unfair admin demanding for higher grades, who have suffered parents screaming and yelling at them because their student didn’t perform well on an exam: I’m sorry. I work on the university level so that I wouldn’t have to deal with parents and I don’t. If students fail– and they do– I simply don’t care. At all. I don’t feel a pang of disappointment when they perform at a lower level and I keep the standard high because I expect them to rise to the occasion. What’s mind-boggling is that students DON’T EVEN TRY. At this, I also don’t care– I don’t get paid that great– but it still saddens me. Students used to be determined and the standard of learning used to be much higher. I’m sorry if you were punished for keeping your standards high. None of this is fair and the students are suffering tremendously for it.

If there were any chance of salvaging the #USA as a means of organizing #heritage #America, this might be lamented. But there isn’t, so this is a very positive thing for those who are propagating heritage America, as the #intellectual #capabilities of the ruling elite and the #invaders who prop them up are in a steep #decline.

#Political #collapse and #balkanization is inevitable, so it is paramount for heritage Americans to ensure that their descendants are a) #numerous and b) #well-educated. This is the way that #America will survive and eventually thrive again, stronger and wiser than before.

"... in their starched white shirts" - Look! It's our keepers!

This song perfectly pitched as we see so much of it.
A good song for some ads &/or memes I'd say. #truth

Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in

This is infuriating and shameful: The deputy of Kermanshah Cultural Heritage announced: The nationally registered Masih Kermanshah Hospital, the country's second historical hospital, was demolished on Wednesday, June 2, by the order of the owner of this building.

Kyomarth Khani Lalabadi, pointing out that the municipality has issued permission to demolish this historic hospital, continued: "For the past two or three years, the owner of the building was seeking to remove this building from the list of #registered_national monuments of Iran with a complaint in the Court of Administrative Justice. He failed to do so, and it seems that with this complaint in hand, he was able to get permission from the municipality to destroy it."

معاون #میراث_فرهنگی #کرمانشاه اعلام کرد: بیمارستان ثبت ملی شده مسیح کرمانشاه، دومین بیمارستان #تاریخی کشور چهارشنبه دوم خردادماه، به دستور مالک این بنا تخریب شد.

•کیومرث خانی لعل آبادی با اشاره به اینکه شهرداری مجوز تخریب این بیمارستان تاریخی را صادر کرده است، ادامه داد: "مالک بنا طی دو سه سال گذشته با شکایت در دیوان عدالت اداری بدنبال خروج مجدد این بنا از فهرست آثار #ثبت_ملی شده ایران بود که موفق به این کار نشد و به نظر می رسد با در دست داشتن همین شکایت توانسته از شهرداری مجوز تخریب آن را بگیرد."

Third Time’s a Charm — #Lunar #Library Successfully Lands on the #Moon#Backup of Human #Civilization Will Last for Up To Billions of Years.

One day, these spaceborne knowledge repositories will not only preserve our past, but will also enrich, inspire and accompany #future generations who venture forth and make their homes amongst other worlds. They will carry the flame of our civilization, our #heritage and our #homeworld with them.

I would be surprised if our civilization survives the next 50 years and whether we will still have the ability to reach #space at all. Another danger is the destruction of #knowledge by #AI. If AI can tell us everything in the future, nobody will have to learn anything.

WIDESCALE #DESTRUCTION OF #CULTURAL #HERITAGE IN #GAZA by Geraldine Kendall Adams #MuseumsAssociation

"As of 25 January, Unesco says it has verified damage to 22 sites in Gaza since the war began, including five religious sites, 10 buildings of historical and/or artistic interest, two depositories of moveable cultural property, one monument, one museum and three archaeological sites.

Other media reports suggest that the destruction may be more extensive. Earlier this month, several news agencies reported that Israeli forces had demolished the main buildings of Al-Israa University, south of Gaza City, including a museum housing around 3,000 objects of art, archaeological artefacts, specimens, materials and instruments."

Flicking through a newspaper in 2020, #SanjayAdhikari read a story that changed the direction of his life – a Nepalese statue of gods #Laxmi and #Narayan, was on display at the #Dallas Museum of #Art. “I could not sleep. Our god was locked inside a museum in the US,” he says.

#Republicans to meet allies of #Hungary’s Viktor #Orbán on ending #Ukraine aid
Story by Flora Garamvolgyi and David Smith

..."Allies of Hungary’s far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán will hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans in Washington to push for an end to US military support for Ukraine, the Guardian has learned.

Márton Ugrósdy, the deputy state secretary for the prime minister’s political director’s office, and Attila Demkó, a leading pro-Orbán academic, along with members of the Hungarian embassy in Washington, will on Monday begin a two-day event hosted by the #conservative #Heritage Foundation thinktank."...

The only democracy in Middle East : Israel's Minister of #Heritage Amichai Eliyahu: "The northern #Gaza Strip is more beautiful than ever. Bombing and laying waste to everything, just a feast for the eyes... The day after... we will hand out plots to all those who fought for Gaza over the years."

Openly talking about ethnic cleansing of Gaza and confiscating their land.
