The College Fix recently reported that UNC Chapel Hill has a disproportionate amount of professors who are registered democrats. Their research reveals 17 departments do not have one registered republican. The ratio of democrats to republicans is 12 to 1. That shouldn’t surprise anyone who lives in North Carolina. It’s also no surprise that some of these professors are very vocal in their contempt for conservatives.
Gene Nichol is a “distinguished professor” at UNC
Chapel Hill. He often writes op-eds for
liberal rags that infest this state. A
couple of weeks ago, he presented a “bill of particulars” outlining the grievous
transgressions of North Carolina’s General Assembly. However, anyone with a basic education in
economics and an iota of common sense could easily refute this man’s ravings. Here are a couple of examples:
1. Tragically
refused to expand Medicaid. Merely to show disdain for President Obama, they’ve
denied health care to a half million poor Tar Heels though the federal
government would pay almost all the fare. Hospitals have closed, tens of
thousands of jobs have been lost, over $30 billion in federal funds are
surrendered and a thousand or more of us die each year as a result of one of
the most cruel and indefensible decisions in N.C. history
Really? This has become an age old argument and I
addressed this in past blog posts. You
can read the following: What
Medicaid Expansion Means to North Carolina, North
Carolina to Address Medicaid, N.C.
Liberal Rags Complain About Medicaid Expansion and Medicaid Expansion Squeezes Middle
Class.
We’ve pretty much established the fact that liberals
are deceitful manipulators of truth and logic.
Nothing exemplifies this as the lefts’ insistence that Voter I.D. laws
somehow disenfranchise minority voters.
Here is the rant of a lunatic.
2. Enacted the most aggressive
voter suppression law in a half century. The central purpose of North
Carolina’s monster voting law – imposing a biased ID requirement, limiting
early voting and eliminating same-day registration, out of precinct voting and
early first-time registration – is to make it harder to cast the franchise. It
is foundationally un-American.
How is requiring an I.D.
at the polls un-American? I believe our
voting laws were much more stringent prior to the 20th Century, but
somehow, liberals believe they have cornered the market on everything “American”
even to the point of rewriting history.
I don’t have time nor
the patience to refute every assertion of this lunatic. Common sense and a simple Google search should
be an easy guide. However, I will touch
on another hot topic and that is the politics of education.
4. Moved
systematically and pervasively to dismantle the public schools. Through teacher
and teaching assistant layoffs, reductions in pre-K programs, massive budget
cuts, the expansion of charters, the introduction of vouchers, the (attempted)
elimination of tenure, the closing of a celebrated teaching fellows program,
the creation of a destructive A-F school grading system and, now, the adoption
of achievement school districts, the General Assembly has worked to lay waste
to public education.
Nothing is more reprehensible than using children to score
political points. I have to ask, why is
an A-F school grading system destructive?
Prior to libtardism, school children were graded on this basis. That’s what I and millions of others grew up
with. This isn’t newly created. What is this guy talking about?
And let’s disabuse ourselves about the state of teachers in
North Carolina and all this nonsense about budget cuts. Here are a few blog post refuting progressive
assertions on our educational system: North
Carolina Teachers Have It Better Than They Think, North
Carolina Teachers Finding Greener Pastures?, N.C.
Legislature Scrooged Over Education Cost, and NC
Teachers Need to Educate Themselves on State Budget.
North Carolinians should be concerned about the
state of education in North Carolina, especially when it comes to tenured
professors spewing a bunch of nonsensical lies in our university system.
