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.

#Socrates understood the limitations of #knowledge 2,440 years ago. Why is it that today's #West is plagued by #credulity, #intellectual indolence, willful #ignorance and group-think?

An examination of the #ethnographic composition of the #Western #power structure suggests one reason #why.

A tiny #elite of #supranational, #elitist, #Nietzschean, #nepotistic, #supremacist, #sophistic, #hubristic, #manipulative, self-serving, #lying, #avaricious, #sociopathic, #arrogant, #plutocratic, #megalomaniacal, self-congratulatory, #dishonest, #cruel, #domineering, #selfish #plagiarists possess massively #disproportionate power in Western #civilization.

Why? Because Elite Scions would rather their global goals are achieved than protect & defend Indo-European, Western peoples.

Jewish community commits #intellectual #suicide before our eyes

Three acts of #censorship in New York demonstrate the desperate pass to which Zionism has brought the American Jewish community: we are walking away from our greatest treasure, literacy.

Two days ago I reported that the Museum of Jewish Heritage had spiked a panel featuring John Judis’s book on Truman and Israel because that book, which says that Truman was for the separation of church and state and took a dim view of Zionism but the lobby compelled him to act against his principles, is just too scary and controversial.

Yesterday we reported that Ramaz School in New York had barred Rashid Khalidi from speaking and that students had risen up demanding that the prohibition be lifted. Jerry #Haber says:

No doubt the school is fearful of alienating its donor base. No explanation has been given so far.

Then there’s the news that Judith #Butler was supposed to give a talk about Kafka at the Jewish Museum of NY on March 6 and withdrew after people began flipping out over her endorsement of BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions of Israel). Again, donor pressure is cited.

Despite the event being non-political, critics contended that hosting someone who advocates against Israel at a museum that receives charitable contributions from the Jewish community crossed the line.

“The hosting of [BDS] advocate Judith Butler by The Jewish Museum is a slap in the face to every Jew,” Richard Allen, head of JCC Watch, told JNS.org.

The museum said in a statement, “[Butler] was chosen on the basis of her expertise on the subject matter to be discussed. While her political views were not a factor in her participation, the debates about her politics have become a distraction making it impossible to present the conversation about Kafka as intended.”

This is truly disgraceful. The #Jewish community is in #IQ freefall, and it’s happening before our eyes. The crazy uncles in our community are putting their feet down about who can come into the house, and other forbears are accepting the prohibitions out of some tribal impulse that recalls the self-destruction of the Shabbatai Tzvi collective delusion of the 1600s.
