Academic Intellectualism Promoting Intolerance ?
August 15th, 2012 by Mick Sheldon
Has Tolerance been replaced with
Academic Intellectualism
Recently I have come to the conclusion the best two sides of the
cultural debate can do is basically agree to disagree. There have
been a change in how we learn, how we see the world.
After World War Two our Universities and Colleges boomed in
their ability to educate our citizens . In those years America was
celebrated , our Faith Institutions were respected and even
supported . For instance Yale, Harvard , Princeton would have
mandatory chapel once a week for underclassmen . History was taught
with facts , yes American History has aspects that show
inappropriate parts , but the facts bear out a free people moving
forward . Our Arts were celebrated , Poets like Robert Frost
,Picasso, Leonard Bernstein were known and celebrated world wide ,
not just in America .Robert Frost actually spoke at the
inauguration of JFK , If an American poet spoke today at at an
Inauguration, most people, except those in the Art world most
likely would not know who he was . America changed . What made our
Universities turn out journalist and lawyers who were taught
theories instead of facts.
In the book America Lite: “ How Imperial Academia Dismantled Our
Culture”
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0089EMMH8/ref=rdr_kindle_ext_tmb
David Gelernter the author goes through the steps of how America
changed , in the opinionated book it takes basically a conservative
education system , which did not even allow coed dorms , where
liberal intellectuals spoke out against our involvement in World
War Two and such , but were in the minority and were ignored or
tolerated . The blame on America for the our woes became a dominant
voice in our Universities in the late 50s. Setting the stage for
the sexual revolution, the anti capitalism beliefs of free markets
of the left , the support for collectivism that was
only tolerated a decade ago was now the main themes taught in our
our our colleges.
Speak now to dedicated leftist in this country , and you find facts
matter less than theory . For instance the unwed birth rates in
this nation pre Roe V Wade was basically consistent at 5 percent .
It now is 72 percent in the Black community , 50 percent in the
Hispanic community , across the board in all communities it is a
dangerously high 40 percent . The leading cause of children moving
into poverty shares one basic denominator , single moms . Our Judea
Christian culture once supported and celebrated even in our
Universality’s is now sometimes quietly ignored . Women and men are
now taught to be interchangeable . Title 9 takes the view that boys
liking to play sports more than girls is actually discriminatory .
If males and females cannot be seen as interchangeable , you are
discriminating . The word equal means different things to different
people today .
New intellectuals see the power and rich of today America as
being evil , gaining their fortunes on the backs of the masses. The
policy is to take from the evil powers of yesterday and give them
to all deserving masses. To think otherwise is supporting evil and
not deserving TOLERANCE . The intellectuals teach the college
student their theories and our open minded youth of today absorb
their teachings . Not how to think , but what to think . How did
this come about ? Why did the established education system
flourishing after we participated in the most destructive war known
to history , where basic freedom over tyranny and oppression was
actually in question. Why has the collectivism views that murdered
even more after the war by Stalin and his peers being supported
while our lost of freedom freedom to government is being
ignored.
It seems to be just a quiet change of guard . But this new
intellectual view in our Academic teachings still use some of the
oldest beliefs recorded in history . Pagan Earth Worship for
instance , the sacramental view of homosexuality , ancient pagan
beliefs sandwiched with new intellectual theories . The point is ,
disagree and your not worthy of tolerance , you are theoretically
supporting evil , and that’s all that is important .
Is this over , nope , history is still being written . Real history
