Dan Savage: Too Gross for America’s Kids

Dan Savage of the “It Gets Better” campaign is the latest favorite of the White house. Obama dumped “Safe Schools Czar” Kevin Jennings in order to clean house for the election year. Among Jennings problems was the underage sex issue, and the seriously pornographic stuff he had passed out to minors as sex education materials. The alignment of the White House with the likes of the unglued Dan Savage would be questionable in any portion of the political cycle.

Warning….. Dan Savage is the guy who invented the “google Santorum” nastiness, and he’s nothing but gross. Bear that in mind if you choose to listen to a compendium of his public comments in the video below, which ranges from fantasies about sex with the unwilling, to extremely inappropriate advice for minors. (Language and content warning.) Savage is in recent hot water for attacking Christian students at one of his so called anti-bullying rallies.

Middle School Student Suspended For Hugging Teacher « CBS Charlotte

Middle School Student Suspended For Hugging Teacher « CBS Charlotte.

That eighth grader could be a pervert…. He tried to hug his teacher. After all the governmental, educational and media efforts to sexualize the kids early, people now assume the worst.
It’s against school rules for a student to hug a teacher, and some of those eighth graders are bigger than their instructors.

Ryan Blackmon, now suspended from the Bladenboro Middle School in North Carolina, says that he thanked his teacher for breaking up an impending fight between himself and a fellow student. He claims: “I went to hug her, then she just snatched me up by the arm and drug me to the other teacher and said that I needed to be written up, and that something serious had happened.”

There is no access to the whole story in this matter, so this can just be chalked up as another sad sign of the times.

On Conservative Distrust of Science

There’s a ‘study’ which concludes that Conservatives increasingly distrust science, and this group has shown the greatest change from trust to distrust in the last three-plus decades. The author attributes the intertwining of science and public policy as a possible reason. Left out of the coverage is the issue of rampant dishonesty and fraud, which has become increasingly visible to those outside the research fields.

In the coverage at the Blaze, there is an interesting comment that people don’t really agree on what science is. It’s a fact that most people, as a result of the dismal failures in education, have no idea that science is a methodology for studying the physical phenomena. Many of them erroneously think that science is an aggregation of information honored as “fact” by consensus.

Retraction Watch <—– See a blog which monitors science journal retractions. This exemplifies the main reason why there’s a growing distrust of science. People observe and hear of rampant fraud and abuse. An example of this, the Global Warming Hoax (cult religion), has become very expensive to us.

This former researcher, and present day pharmacist is often hard pressed to distinguish what appears in NEJM, JAMA and Lancet from what is written in the Journal of Irreproducible Results.

Among the false intellectuals who dominate academia, there is little sense of accountability. They scoff at the idea that a person has responsibility to others. This is passed on to their students.

The natural result is dishonesty and work product of low quality. Conservatives, who show a tendency to think in a more left brain fashion, would be the first to notice this and register the loss of confidence.

“What a Snob!” Santorum takes on the Obama College for All, Promise.

Pharmer’s current plan is to fund the most technical type of education possible for the kids after high school, and push them towards obtaining their continuing cultural education outside of the academic boxes filled with lefties. Most likely they will be more successful if their consciences and work ethics are not impaired by conventional university education.
This conclusion was reached after 11 years of college and graduate education, (lotsa alphabet soup) and work in research, teaching and pharmacy practice.
Pharmer’s husband obtained two associates degrees. He now teaches at a technical school in a third field, in which he is self-trained, as a master automotive technician.

Santorum is correct that the universities are not the only road to success. Curiosity and constant self instruction are the keys. Always be willing to learn something new.
He’s also very correct about the academic snobbery.

Planned Parenthood Created Indiana Girl Scouts Sex Ed Program.

Planned Parenthood Created Indiana Girl Scouts Sex Ed Program | TheBlaze.com.

Beautiful Bloomington* was the academic home of A.C. Kinsey, that kinky professor who messed with his students and called it sex research. It’s not a surprise that this bright blue leftie place would also allow a planned unparenthood sex educator to design a program to get their little girl scouts busy earlier in life.

The Blaze was a bit equivocal in its last coverage of the involvement of Indiana Rep. Bob Morris, who expressed his disgust at the connection of planned parenthood and Girl Scouts of America. It seems that they’ve amassed enough solid evidence that they’re willing to commit themselves and say yes, the two really are connected.

Indiana Right to Life spotted a little detail about the development of a sex ed program for the girl scouts of Bloomington, and 12 surrounding counties.

Leftie city of Bloomington Awarded Ann Reece posthumous recognition as follows:
“Lifetime Contribution Award winner Anne Reese was nominated posthumously by Carol McCord, Barbara Light, Kathryn Brown and Judy Klein. Anne’s career started with Planned Parenthood in Bloomington where she worked for many years as a health and sexuality educator, and helped initiate the Family Life Education program for Girl Scouts ages five to 18 throughout a twelve-county area”

Learn more about why planned parenthood is not the preferred sex educator for normal people HERE and HERE.

*Bloomington, Indiana stands out as the only place, so far, where Pharmer was threatened with arrest (on the campus of Indiana University) for speaking at a prolife students meeting. It’s just that nutty.

Muslims are Following Evangelical Christians into Homeschooling.

Muslim families turn to home-schooling – Washington Times.

In the U.S. the majority of home schooled children are evangelical Christians, who have developed extensive curricula extending from K to grade 12.

The Washington Times highlights a program started by Cilia Ndiaye, who, as a child, was removed from school and taught at home after unpleasant experiences with the other students dissing her for her religion, and for wearing the hajib.

She now offers a curriculum which can be bought, or is free online for those who cannot afford to pay.

This report also mentions Muslims who feel more comfortable sending their kids to Christian religious private schools, rather than public schools, for the benefit of moral training in the educational process.

Still in its infancy, the Muslim home school movement hopes to duplicate the success of the Christians: children performing much higher on the standardized tests than the students from public schools.

Debbie Squires Michigan Education Testimony: Parents Don‘t Know What’s Best

It’s Baaaaaack. The Blaze says that Michigan Elementary and Middle School Principal’s Association Associate Director, Debbie Squire’s testimony was pulled from YouTube. Apparently she upset people when she said that educators know what’s best for their kids with respect to schooling, and that parents don’t. This came in the context of speaking out against a new school choice program. See for yourself:

Measuring this up against the difficulty that educators are having with teaching a basic curriculum, What do you think? Should more of education be privatized?

Megadeth Frontman Backs Rick Santorum

Megadeth frontman backs Rick Santorum – POLITICO.com.

Dave Mustaine says: Anyone but Obama. “I’m just hoping that whatever is in the White House next year is a Republican,” he said. “I can’t bear to watch what’s happened to our great country. Everybody’s got their head in the sand. Everybody in the industry is like, ‘Oh, Obama’s doing such a great job. …’ I don’t think so. Not from what I see.”

What caused Mustaine to take a good look at Santorum? That time out he took during the Florida primary campaign, to take care of his daughter, Bella, when she was sick. The veteran rocker prefers Santorum’s style of campaigning over the others: more issues and less strident attacks on the other primary candidates.

Mustaine has some interesting things to say about his own long career, and the state of the music and recording industry in his interview at musicradar.com . Fellow rockers will want to take a look.

So the Frat Boys and Jocks Can Buy Plan-B For Their “Dates”

Shippensburg University To Offer Plan B Contraception From Vending Machine « CBS Philly.

You know….. those “Dates”, where several guys take advantage of a single intoxicated girl ( often of questionable age)? Now the guys can put a couple of different drugs into her drink and GET ER DONE!!!! Classy Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania will have Plan B One-Step in the health center vending machine, for the sake of privacy. Shippensburg is now the no-tell motel, and it vends the date-rape drug.

Parents might wish to check the plan B policies of universities and colleges before sending their kids out of town for school. The policy reflects an attitude towards how the female students, and underage females in the vicinity are to be utilized.

Shippensburg issued a statement dated 2/7/12 regarding their policy of vending Plan B.

Nearly Half of Public Schools Fail the “No Child Left Behind” Standards

Worst of the pack are the schools of Washington DC and the State of Missouri. While the public school teachers now make twice the hourly wage+benefits as the average private sector employee, ( 59 bucks vs 28 bucks), the schools are increasingly producing poor results. Tax payers should be concerned about return on investment. Admittedly the teachers are handcuffed by political correctness and fear of their unions, and in some areas this renumeration is actually COMBAT pay.

The teachers would be making six figures if they worked year round, making them a juicy target for class envy. Expect a new round of protests: Occupy Public Schools!

Kicking Someone in the Groin is Sexual Harrassment?

First-grader accused of sexual harassment – Metro – The Boston Globe.

Why do administrators of Tynan Elementary school classify a kick or punch in the groin as sexual harassment? It seems entirely unrelated to sex, but maybe these people like the stuff that hurts.

The story? Seven year old Mark Curran says that a another kid on the school bus, had choked him, and stole his gloves. He claims to have kicked the kid in the groin in response to the choking, because he couldn’t breathe.

Whether or not the story is exactly as told, Mark has a letter from the school saying that he violated codes of discipline related to sexual harassment and endangering the physical safety of another student, because of that strike to the groin.

Most schools, including those Pharmer’s kids attend, will punish those who defend themselves from assault. The desired response is to take a beating, and then tell the administrators. This of course ensures further beatings, since the administrators do not have the ability to provide protection.

Kids who are forced to defend themselves need to make the effort really worth the punishment which will ensue.

Do your kids a favor and find a good Karate school for them. Start early. Pharmer’s kids have been at it for a decade or more. So far, their school years have been pretty peaceful.

Penn State – Further Into the Dumpster

Jerry Sandusky Rumored to Have Been ‘Pimping Out Young Boys to Rich Donors,’ Says Mark Madden – College Football – NESN.com.

Pharmer supposes that all sorts of rumors will be flying, including the one headlined above.

This rumor is not implausible because the Board of Trustees has seen fit to boot Joe Paterno immediately, as well as the University president Graham Spanier, who had been in place for 16 years.

Student unrest (rioting) has ensued, involving students on each side of the issue of firing Joe Paterno.

Expect much more to come out of this Penn State scandal as the digging continues.

April 2011 article asking why Sandusky retired so early.

DA who did not charge Sandusky after the 1998 incident disappeared in 2005

Remember Michael Mann, Climate Gate, and Research Fraud? Penn State found no trouble with him.

Voice Analysis Software Indicates Cain Tells the Truth, Bialek Lies

Software Analyzing Voice Recognition Says Herman Cain Telling Truth of His Innocence | Video | TheBlaze.com.

It appears that a person can get a lie detector test without making any effort. Herman Cain has just had one, courtesy of private investigator TJ Ward, who applied his software voice analysis to the recent press conference. His software rates Cain’s speech as low risk, which means he’s likely telling the truth.

When Sharon Bialek described sexual impositions in her meeting with Cain, the software rated her as high risk. Ward said that she is likely not lying about having met him, but is lying what what happened.

Law enforcement uses similar voice analysis software with a very high degree of success in detecting lies.

Comments at this story on the Blaze were amusing, with one person suggesting that applying the equipment set the test equipment on fire.

Meanwhile, Ann Coulter has a column, worth reading, which details the David Axelrod actions to wipe out Obama’s political opponents in Chicago. Remember, Sharon has a residential kind of connection with Axelrod at the very least.

She notes that the allegations against Cain all stem from time with the National Restaurant Association, and no other time of his long business career. The NRA period is Cain’s closest brush with the Chicago cesspool.

With poor Perry showing some really bad performance at the debates (order of magnitude worse than neophyte- Pharmer’s first appearance on national television), Cain is the current top tier conservative. This will inspire further false allegations and attacks from the left. They fear him even more than they fear Palin.

New Jersey School officials apologize for kinky summer reading list

Risque summer reading selections have parents upset, school officials scrapping books in Monroe Township | NJ.com.

New Jersey school officials are apologizing for their kinky summer reading list for the high school and middle school students.

Some parents found out what was in the books and protested. Seems that graphic business of the gay orgy (Tweek: Growing up on Methamphetamine) and lesbian sex (Norwegian Wood) was a bit too much for their tastes, even if it was only an effort to entice their kids to read.

Stanford Professor: Unions Protect Teacher Interests, Not Student Interests

The U.S. School systems are designed with the interests of the teachers in mind, and not the students. This is a natural result of protecting the job interests of the teachers, and it has degraded the quality of public education. Professor Terry Moe is explaining what’s in his new book on the topic in the video below. Read more on that HERE.

Non Productive Federal Department of Education

Fed. Gov‘t SWAT Team Busts Down Man’s Door Over Estranged Wife’s Student Loans | The Blaze.

Here’s another example of non-productive activity from your federal government, this time, the Department of Education. It issued a warrant pursuant to collecting a student loan in Stockton, California. The trouble is that they screwed up… and had the Swat team destroy the doorway of the loan recipient’s estranged husband and his three children.

Not able to correctly distinguish between the husband and wife, even by sex, they held Mr. Kenneth Wright in a police car for hours, and no doubt, this and the search of his home was extremely disconcerting to the three young children.

Note: The Stockton Police Dept. wished to emphasize that they did not exhibit nor take part in this degree of incompetence.

Charges against Ms Hadsock have been dropped, as the self defense situation is readily apparent. She is suspended from teaching and student contact for now, but hopes to be reinstated.
Last year, Hadsock had been voted teacher of the year. Pharmer thinks she has earned that award again.

Europe Sinking

Third of Berlin university students consider sex work – Yahoo! News.

Are the university students starving, or are they just EASY.

Under bad economic conditions in the third world, people might turn to prostitution, most often to to obtain the bare necessities of life.

Now we hear that in Berlin, a third of the students would consider doing sex work in order to finance their education, with 4% of the students already haven given it a try.

The survey reveals that 29 percent of students in Paris, and 18 percent of students in Kiev would also consider sex work for their tuition dollars.

Perhaps the students aren’t sufficiently healthy to sell their plasma, which is what we did when the dollars ran out before pay day.

Althouse: See Union Respect for the Environment

Althouse: How much respect did the demonstrators show for the State Capitol grounds?.

Check out the pics at the blog above, to decide if you want your tax dollars to support these union pigs, and if you want the same hypocritical slobs preaching “greenie religion” to your kids in school.

Should you pay 11 thousand per kid per year for this ?

If you wouldn’t want these animals in your house, why pay for them to teach your kids?

Apparently larger herds have descended to trash the capitol of Wisconsin Saturday, to wreak vengeance for not getting their way.

Ask yourself: why it was OK for Jimmy Carter to restrict collective bargaining for federal employees, and Obama to stick with that status quo, but at the same time call the actions of Republicans an assault on unions?

To understand how collective bargaining works… the majority of people in a union will fight to retain their plush salaries and benefits, and it does not matter to them if those on the lower echelons of the union ladder lose their jobs as a result. This is the position of the protesters in Madison.

Seniority takes precedence over usefulness, merit or competency in union life. Only 8 percent of the population are public union employees. Should they be extorting from you through the kind of terrorism seen in Madison?

The only positive aspect about the mobs gathering in Madison, Wisconsin is that they allow us to see and record public union employees as they really are.

Highschools exhibit reduced enthusiasm for Obama commencement speech

» Obama Blames US High Schools For Dissing Him – Big Government.

Last year about 1000 high schools vied in a competition to have Obama appear as commencement speaker.

This year, as of Feb. 22, there were only 14 applications very shortly before the deadline on the 25th….. so it must be that the schools are procrastinating.

Who wouldn’t want Obamanator as the commencement speaker, talking about himself again? Pharmer hears that he needs a teleprompter even for that, to get the story straight.

The Whitehouse is extending the deadline to march 11, and trying to drum up some more applications. By the end of February there were said to be 68 applications.

Sign of the times….. tells you more than any fake media poll.
