— Advice to the College-Bound from the Old, White Professor – Abraham H.
Miller
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/08/advice_to_the_collegebound_from_the_old_white_professor.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Nearly all college experiences begin with a series of orientation sessions.
Most start with the assumption that you are the cursed offspring of a flawed
society. You come to college not to be educated but to be reeducated. You have
imbibed of racism, sexism, and homophobia. And for some outrageous amount of
tuition that will send many of you into perpetual debt, the modern-day Gletkins
of academia will purge you of these impure thoughts. The brainwashing will
begin in orientation but will not end there. If you live in a dormitory, there
will be required sensitivity sessions run by minions from the office of
residence life. These generally are graduate students who are shouldering the
intellectual rigors of a degree in education administration. The aim of these
sessions, which are reminiscent of those imposed on Soviet factory workers to
remove their “mechanistic thinking,” is to reeducate you to rid yourself of the
values your parents taught you. Many of you, irrespective of discipline, will
be compelled to complete a multicultural requirement. These courses are
compulsory because otherwise no rational person would sit through them. Your multicultural
requirement might be taken in African-American studies where, being a white
person, you will learn that only whites, by definition, can be racists and all
whites are racists. The evils of slavery will be pounded into you, even though
your ancestors probably not only didn’t own slaves, but they also came to these
shores long after slavery was abolished. Nonetheless, your skin color makes you
guilty. But invoke a stereotype about black people based on their high crime
and recidivism rate, and you will be admonished that to brush all black people
with a single brush — especially without context — is racist. To characterize
all white people as racists, however, is not a stereotype but an intellectual
incision. You will learn that there is such a thing as “true truth.” This is
the shared reality of an “oppressed” group whose common belief makes something
true. Or in the profound words of Alexandria Octavio-Cortez, you can have moral
truth without factual truth — whatever that means. In these classes, you will
never say that the trans-Atlantic slave trade was the product of Africans who
shifted the trans-Saharan slave trade westward. You will never point out that
two African potentates, King Tegesibu of Dahomey and King Alvare of the Congo,
were among the wealthiest men in the known world, having gotten rich by selling
slaves. It is not that the administration doesn’t know what goes on in these
classes, but to intercede would result in charges of racism and violation of
so-called academic freedom. If you complain, your grade will crash to the
floor. In gender studies, remember there are more than two genders. Never, ever
say you can’t change your DNA. Women are equal to men in every way, and biology
is not destiny. All apparent biological differences are really a function of
culture. After all, we live in a world where trans-women should be able to get
abortions. All genders and races should be in all the professions in proportion
to their distribution in the population is the current dogma. Any departure
from that is a function of cultural oppression. The fact that Asians
disproportionately dominate math and science classes is a function of some
cultural flaw. Only on the athletic field does pure competition exist. If you
regurgitate this view of the world, apologize for being white, and check your
white male privilege, you will do fine. Do these classes change attitudes? Yes,
but not as the intellectual Gletkins think.)

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/01/us/news-deserts-future.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
crisis in local journalism is catastrophic — and it will get worse. More than
1,300 communities across the United States are without local news coverage, and
thousands more have inadequate journalism. At the next recession, the collapse
will accelerate. Studies have now validated what we all know intuitively: The
disintegration of community journalism leads to greater polarization, lower
voter turnout, more pollution, less government accountability and less trust.
This problem is not going to be solved by a new phone app or an increase of a
few pennies in digital ad rates. It’s time to try something dramatically
different. The local media ecosystem of the future must have a much bigger role
for nonprofit media and philanthropy. We accept this reality in the worlds of
education and health care. It’s time to embrace it for local journalism. We
believe people have an obligation to support libraries and symphonies. Now they
have to support good accountability reporting.)

recent date with a new degree and omitting an old one. . .Avoid phrases that
needlessly date you, like “30+ years of experience.” Use “20+ years of

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Have
you ever lied on your resume, in an application, or during an interview to get
a job? Some of the common resume lies are about academic degrees, age,
technical abilities and criminal records. In interviews, people tend to tell
lies related to salaries, references, and complete work history. Getting caught
lying can be grounds for firing and yet many people take these risks. . .A
report from 2017 stated that 85% of job applicants were caught by employers
using some form of dishonesty. So, perhaps tech workers are more honest than
some other types of employees.)
