Hat Tip: Jon Justice
Ernest Calderon, the Vice President of the Arizona Board of Regents stated yesterday, “What universities need to do is undertake their primary mission of fully educating our students so that they realize that they have challenges ahead.” All well and good, right?
No.
What Ernest Calderon means is Arizona grads don’t know enough about Global Warming, the tenets of Islam, and DNA. Further, Calderon is suggesting a mandatory class for all Freshmen on these topics. Mandatory classes on a religion because it is growing rapidly? Yeah, no agenda here, right?
How about this? Why don’t we teach incoming Freshmen about the current global cooling trend, The Ten Commandments, and DNA by Intelligent Design and the perils of cloning? No? I didn’t think so.
If you want people to learn these things, make them electives, and let the chips fall where they may. Otherwise, allow the students to leave political agendas at the door of the classroom and mandate that teachers do the same.
What Calderon is talking about is not rounding out a young person’s education, but indoctrinating young people to their political agenda. There is nothing lacking in a graduate who has managed to remain sane and still thinking after four years in the leftist pressure cooker our campuses have become.
