White (Male) Authors & Culture Denied

In the USA, UK and other places academics are pressing for replacing (Or supplementing) White (Male) authors (eg In English/Literature studies programs) with such persons-of-color selected out chiefly on a basis of race/color and without any great regard to their time-tested value to the corpus of our civilization's literature.

Some of this perversion is based on claims of "colonialism" as a negative force acting towards the suppression of "indigenous" literature and culture. Such claims are proof-positive of either ignorance of History or the most gross dishonesty.

Those who understand history will, if honest, declare that the colonial powers (eg England, France, China, Spain, Russia, et. al.) took political control over many lands and peoples for very practical and non-academic reasons.

With such acts there was an education of those "colonized" peoples in the wider-used, literary, languages. In the Americas, Sub-Saharan Africa, Oceania  and some parts of what is now Russia those peoples were given literacy. itself! That skill and tool was not had before "colonization" and is the most-basic foundation of real literature,  (Even the local bodies of oral traditions, views and concepts could not be shared across the globe without that benefit of "colonizers".)

Those proposed changes are also demands for "instant gratification" as is arch-typical of infants and criminals.

Those academics should/must also remember that real universities were invented, nurtured and developed by White (European), male, Christians. Those temples-of-learning are now, very much, under attack by Fascists waging a form of Jihad against knowledge-and-wisdom (Using actual physical violence or academic intimidation or both).

"Curtilage"

What is CURTILAGE?

The enclosed space of ground and buildings immediately surrounding a dwelling-house. In its most comprehensive and proper legal signification, it includes all that space of ground and buildings thereon which is usually enclosed within the general fence immediately surrounding a principal messuage and outbuildings, and yard closely adjoining to a dwelling-house, but it may be large enough for cattle to be levant and couchant therein. 1 Chit. Gen. Pr. 175. The curtilage of a dwelling-house is a space, necessary and convenient and habitually used for the family purposes, and the carrying on of domestic employments. It includes the garden, if there be one. and it need not be separated from other lands by fence. State v. Shaw, 31 Me. 523; Com. v. Rarney, 10 Cush. (Mass.) 480; Derrickson v. Edwards, 29 N. J. Law, 474. SO Am. Dec. 220. The curtilage is the court-yard in the front or rear of a house, or at its side, or any piece of ground lying near, enclosed and used with, the house, and necessary for the convenient occupation of the house. People v. Geduey, 10 Ilun (X. Y.) 154. In Michigan the meaning of curtilage lias been extended to include more than an enclosure near the house. People v. Taylor, 2 Mich. 250.

It appears that the above applies to student residences at (Public) universities AND the keeping and bearing of arms within such areas.

New Personal Pronouns & Sexual Identity

At one count there are 61 "sexual identities" beyond the millions-of-years-old male and female.

Some have been searching for new pronouns as apply to the 61 formulations.

Being a helpful person, I have strongly recommended that those who deny genetic reality should be address and described as "IT"---As they have denied their humanity.

Due Process (Academic) Fine-Tuned

1. Right to a timely AND sufficient-time prior (Written)notice-of/access-to the: “Charges” against the citizen; The  Law/rules/regulations alleged to be violated; The names and other identifying information of all witnesses who have provided testimony ;or other evidence; Documents/physical-evidence as to the “charges”.
2. The right to a timely “due process” hearing to prevent the departure of witnesses or deterioration of other evidence;
3. The right to have legal counsel present at all hearings and such council allowed full and active participation in all proceedings.
4. The right to compel personal testimony of witnesses and to have that testimony given on oath/affirmation (Allowing for criminal or civil punishment for perjury/false-swearing if such is inflicted) AND to personally OR by counsel cross-examine those witnesses.
5. The right to a hearing before a neutral hearing examiner.
6. The right to a written decision from that examiner.
7. The right to appeal any such decision to a court-of-law based on the facts, the law and state and federal constitutions if a public institution is involved (OR to to the highest authority in a private organization).

These were the rights given to convicted criminals facing revocation of probation/parole by Wisconsin's Department Of Corrections. I fail to understand why universities will not provide the same “Due Process” to students facing in-school disciplinary actions. (Where guilt or probable cause was found by a court-of-record, some of these rights were not given.)

Use Of American Indian Names

There was a time when it was appropriate to use the names of American Indian tribes/bands/models for sports teams and symbols of various schools.

Why?

In those times those provided examples of courage and dignity.

Now, the whining and sniveling professional victims who object to such uses are the very model of a most-dangerous and self-destructive “surrender monkey” movement rotting out too much of our nation's collective values.

I must note that the Seminole Nation of Florida expressly and enthusiastically approved of the use of their name by an athletic team.

It might be best for all tribes/bands to have an all adult member, secret-ballot, vote on this issue and that without using such loaded words as “mascot”.

2018 And Froze To Hell???

Please look up the term "1815 And Froze To Hell". The eruption of one, large, volcano resulted in the beginnings of a Mini-Ice Age as did not continue.

If the three volcanoes now on the verge of major eruptions (And, perhaps, others) concurrently fill the atmosphere with various particulates, that might yield a real Ice Age. That would demonstrate that the puny efforts of humans are as nothing. 

In such a case, all might hope for some "Global Warming".

I am checking out my "long johns"; You might do the same.
