Did You Know?: Chuck Norris Is A Loudmouth Conservative

As it turns out, Chuck Norris considers himself a writer (a columnist, even!). He has a space on World Net Daily (wnd.com) where he can espouse his hard-earned wisdom. In a recent column, he condemns the public schooling system for a number of injustices done to the conservative pupil. Here are a few paragraphs lifted from a nauseating rant:

He opens with this bullshit: "On Dec. 27, 1820, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his vision for the University of Virginia (chartered in 1819), "This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow the truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error as long as reason is left free to combat it.""

Cool, strong history-based source. But what does it have to do with your column?:

"What happens when the political and public educational pendulum swings from concern for the tyranny of sectarianism in Jefferson's day to secularism in ours? What happens when U.S. public schools become progressive indoctrination camps?"

This next paragraph leaves me saying 'This is a bad thing?' It's his cherry-picking of statistics from Dr. Black's text that has me mystified:

"Dr. Jim Nelson Black, founder and senior policy analyst of the Sentinel Research Associates in Washington, D.C., wrote an excellent book, "Freefall of the American University." In it, he documents the clear biases pervading our public academic settings. Among that lopsidedness is the intentional training of students to disdain America, freely experiment sexually, forcefully defend issues like abortion and homosexuality, as well as become cultural advocates for political correctness, relativism, globalization, green agendas and tolerance for all.

One of the primary ways these educative platforms are spread is by recruiting and retaining faculty members who reflect and teach them. For example, citing from the polling firm of Luntz Research, Dr. Black notes that the 57 percent of faculty members represented in our most esteemed universities are Democrats (only 3 percent Republican) and 64 percent identify themselves as liberal (only 6 percent conservative). Moreover, 71 percent of them disagree that "news coverage of political and social issues reflects a liberal bias in the news media." And the No. 1 answer they gave to the question, "Who has been the best president in the past 40 years?" was Bill Clinton (only 4 percent said Ronald Reagan)."

Last but certainly not least (Part II is on its way!), let's talk about how politics are making kids drop out of school:

"It is also no surprise that an average of 6,000 students every year is leaving the approximately 94,000 public schools in America. If the power-to-be over our public schools, like government and unions, continue to oppose conservative curricula and impose overarching liberal educational revisions and laws, public schools will continue to experience an exodus."

Right, it's not bullying, poverty or misconduct making kids drop out. Nope, they're TIRED of LIBERAL INDOCTRINATION! Thanks, Chuck, been wanting to get that off my chest for a while now.
