As real as last week, and yet so horrific, your hair might turn white. We here at "Make me a Commentator!!!" urge those with weak stomachs or hearts to avoid reading the following terrible tale.
There have been recent protests about the California Governors plans to raise campus tuitions. Apparently the protesters have not been all that numerous; but they have existed. Brace yourself, it gets worse.
According to academic Watchdog Website, Campus Report Online, some professors may have provided information on these protests. Check out this account, oh brave reader, and feel your blood run cold.
"During a recent class, our source at SFCC [San Francisco City College ]writes, our instructor went around the room handing out copies of a letter from the dean of the Castro Valencia campus.
?“When asked, he said he had been told to distribute them. This letter asked students to help fund a partisan effort to lobby against budget reforms currently being proposed by the governor of California.
We are finding that the use of students as political operatives, which many parents and their college-age children find inappropriate, is a standard practice throughout the California state university system. Our source at California State University at Sacramento informs us that her professors told undergraduates that they should attend the aforementioned grassroots demonstration."
Scary isn't it? This instructor had "been told" to pass out these letters. By whom? Was it someone else in the department? Or the president of the college? Or the ghost of Comrade Lenin? It's left unclear, and we are free to let our minds wander over who it could be. It is a blessing that this "source" didn't take the time to find out exactly who told this instructor to pass out these letters; I'm sure the truth would have been too much for even such brave readers as you.
Also note the apparent lack of coercion. I say apparent, because it is clear that in a story as hideous as this, there was massive coercion. Perhaps the teacher threatened to lower grades if the students didn't attend. Perhaps he threatened to open the Gate to the Plane of Boiling Oil and flay the skins from their bodies. The story provides no details as to what type of coercion might have occurred. The uninitiated might assume that this indicates that there was no coercion exercised; but you and I know the horrors of campus life. Of course there was coercion even if it was never spoken or expressed in anyway.
Also note the use of students as political operatives. Fortunately, college students are unable to think for themselves and so are enticed into participating into such demonstrations. If they were able to think for themselves, of course they would be in favor of raising tuition. Instead we have liberal zombie students shuffling their way from class to cafeteria to playstation to bed.
Anyway tune in next time for another bone-chilling politically correct story.
