I Can’t Breathe…
This country was founded on violent rebellion. Our constitution drips with the blood of the American Revolution and our success as a nation is rooted in the genocide of Native Americans and centuries of legalized homicide, rape, and unthinkable brutality to enforce the chattel slavery of African-Americans. This is our reality. Racism, violent crime, rape […]
Veteran’s Day
Happy Veteran’s Day, but don’t talk to the Frenchwomen.I read tonight that during WW1 “Brigadier General James B. Erwin issued an order which forbade Black soldiers of the 92nd Division to speak to Frenchwomen. American military policemen arrested Negroes who were caught talking to Frenchwomen.” 92 Division? 92 Division? Yes, I remember now. My grandfather, […]
Why Are We Striking?
Why are we striking? I will try to keep this short; but, there a many complex issues involved in the faculty strike Tuesday and Wednesday. I do not pretend to understand fully all of the complex pension issues. I will make two points on which I have strong feelings. Point A. You have two categories […]
FACULTY UNITED !
Summarizing some of what I have read and experienced, it seems that I am quickly becoming a dinosaur under the corporatization of higher education. In 1969, “78 percent of…college…instructional staff was comprised of tenured or tenure-track professors, with adjunct faculty making up the rest.” “By 2009, the figures had nearly flipped, with a third of […]
fresh out of pink smoke?
“On the ordination of women, the Church has spoken and said no…that door is closed.” –Pope Francis, July 29, 2013. Okay Frank, I see you. After all, you aren’t continuing to promote a male-dominated power structure that views ALL women as inferior. You just ain’t got no pink smoke?
The higher education bubble.
Reconcilable dilemma. As a college professor, I indirectly pay my mortgage, buy groceries, put gas in my car, and otherwise provide for my family [in part] on the backs of indebted college students who are drowning in student loans and increasingly struggling to find satisfactory employment. Students for whom the rate of return of a […]
“white on white” crime
I’m rethinking my use of the term “black on black” crime. For the last few weeks some have complained there is too much [disproportionate] attention on the Trayvon Martin murder and not enough on the day-to-day murder of blacks and browns; especially in Chicago. Could it be that the media simply does not lend itself […]
Innocent vs. Not guilty?
Elsewhere [on facebook] I wrote “Zimmerman was found innocent of the charges.” A former student replied “Zimmerman wasn’t found innocent. There is no such finding made by American courts. He was found not guilty…” From my social science perspective as a social being with emotions and a warm heart (not just academic training) this is […]
