I think it's called strategically advancing to the rear.

He does his best work in the rear area.

Yes learned people do read, like I said, you should try it sometime.

Given the grammar used in that last post, you may want to take your own advice.

And learned people think for themselves, and rely on experience rather than what they're told and what they've read. And I've consumed two newspapers and a magazine before lunch so far, petunia.

You do realize the first link is to an op-ed piece which references the paper presented in the second link, right?
You also do realize that the Pope Center is focused on the university system in North Carolina and not necessarily on the national university system, right?
Of course, the Pope Center also demonstrates a decided political bias, but that's not unexpected.

However, the paper presented for publication in the Behavioral and Brain Sciences is still undergoing peer review as stated in the third line (just under the copyright), "Below is an unedited, uncorrected BBS Target Article recently accepted for publication."

Also, the abstract (last sentence first paragraph) delineates the area addressed by the paper, " We review evidence suggesting that political diversity and dissent would improve the reliability and validity of social psychological science."
This is then, by self definition, hardly an indictment of the entire national university system.

It does look interesting.
Please excuse me while I get out my dictionary and do some reading....

 

[Ulaven_Demorte]

That's a mountain of evidence? One paper that is still under peer review and an op ed that references that paper?

 

[Wrong Element]

Shut the fuck up. Packing our college level academia with large populations of Marxists, communist revolutionaries, radicals, former terrorists, anarchists, Socialists, all espousing some degree of leftist ideology and an institutional enmity towards more conservative thinking, is not intellectual diversity. It's dishonest to say it isn't simple left wing indoctrination. You're one sickbastard alright and that's no logical fallacy.

"Packing" is the wrong term, unless you believe there's a herd of Tea Partiers who want to become chemistry professors and are being blackballed. Truth is, conservatives tend to be much less interested in academic careers.

 

[1sickbastard]

Funny quote from that paper, end of page 5, first sentence of section 2, "There are many academic fields in which surveys find self-identified conservatives to be about as numerous as self-identified liberals; typically business, computer science, engineering, health sciences, and technical/vocational fields (Zipp & Fenwick, 2006; Gross & Simmons, 2007).

You know that suggestion I made earlier, about you taking your own advice on the reading thing?

Apology accepted.

Don't worry, you're not the only dumbigot in America.

Don't forget vetteman running away, I mean advancing strategically to the rear (aka reinserting his head into his ass) when called out to defend whatever it was he said.

Seriously dude, go shopping for a new purse or something.

Awww. Wooks wike poor Sgt. Schmuck's crybaby privilege thread isn't going the way he wanted it to.

Every time someone references your Love Of All Things Ass that you dare not take out of the closet lest your conservative buttmunch card gets revoked it hits a little too close to home for you, doesn't it?

If you ever wonder why you're referred to as VetteBigot, just take a look at this homophobic insult. I can also point you toward ageist and misogynistic ones if you want.

You know, just in case you wonder why you're seen as a useless bigoted fuck-wad.

if they have basis in fact..they should be debated

but the Bell Curve isnt

so , it's not

The truth of The Bell Curve is obvious to anyone who has tried to teach black children.

No, it isn't. The more you promote that debunked horse-shit the more you reinforce the fact that you're nothing but a racist fuck-stick, no better than DizzyBooby or JamesBRacist.

Excuse me. How has The Bell Curve been "debunked?" Where is the scientific evidence that the races are intrinsically equal?

The following charts for SAT and ACT averages demonstrated significant and durable racial differences.

You can make excuses for the Negro race. You cannot argue that it is intrinsically equal to the white race, unless you maintain that skill on the basketball court compensates for deficiencies exposed in the examination room.

The Bell Curve has served as a platform for many modern-day racists like yourself, giving them an "intellectual" basis and source of data to support many of their beliefs. When one looks at the sources cited by the book it's premise falls apart. The majority of those sources were thoroughly debunked for over a decade before The Bell Curve was printed (without being peer reviewed) by Stephen Jay Gould's classic work on the pseudoscience behind eugenics, The Mismeasure of Man.

Shut the fuck up. Packing our college level academia with large populations of Marxists, communist revolutionaries, radicals, former terrorists, anarchists, Socialists, all espousing some degree of leftist ideology and an institutional enmity towards more conservative thinking, is not intellectual diversity. It's dishonest to say it isn't simple left wing indoctrination. You're one sickbastard alright and that's no logical fallacy.

I've been to a lot of colleges/grad schools, public and private, and while I've met plenty of liberals, I've never encountered a single Marxist or Communist on the faculty. In any case, it doesn't matter, that is, it does not appear to be indoctrinating the students. See Political beliefs of academics.

Are professors actually liberal?

In reality, American professors are generally more liberal or left-wing than the general population; three causes for this phenomenon have been cited:

1.The more educated a person becomes, the more the person has to think. As a result, the person is more likely to question authoritarian or fundamentalist ideology or "traditional values". There is a correlation between (American) liberalism and education, with liberals and left-wingers being the most educated ideological demographic in the U.S.[1]

2.Right-leaning people are attracted in greater numbers by the larger salaries to be found in private employment, so fewer enter academia as opposed to right wing think tanks like the Heritage Foundation or right-leaning institutions like Hillsdale College (a sponsor on shows like The Mark Levin Show) or Liberty University, as well as the economics departments of public institutions Auburn University and George Mason University, known for their libertarian leanings.

3.The very few professors who are not tolerant of other viewpoints and/or populations (Mary Daly, for example) are usually of the left-wing persuasion, as noted below, and in the long-term a campus can sustain only one intolerant point-of-view.

Effect on students

However, the political beliefs of professors do not affect the outlook of students. According to a Washington Post op-ed by right-winger Howard Kurtz:

When asked about the findings, Jonathan Knight, director of academic freedom and tenure for the American Association of University Professors, said, "The question is how this translates into what happens within the academic community on such issues as curriculum, admission of students, evaluation of students, evaluation of faculty for salary and promotion." Knight said he isn't aware of "any good evidence" that personal views are having an impact on campus policies.[2]

Or, to put it in basic jargon, despite the personal beliefs of professors, academia lacks a "systemic bias" in favor of left-wing viewpoints.

Some radical professors are, of course, very open about the fact that they are in academia to grind a political or ideological axe and train their ideological successors; but this does not translate to a giant secret conspiracy involving all liberal and left-wing professors. If there were actually any sort of secret conspiracy among all the liberals and left-wingers in academia to mint students into good little foot-soldiers for their own cause, it would be the most miserably failed conspiracy since the invention of right-wing paranoia.

One of the popular claims is that these professors are cogs in a Democratic political machine. However, half of college students identify as Democrats, and only 52% of college-educated professionals (including professors) vote Democratic, which isn't quite the oft-painted image of a liberal hivemind.[3]

Statistics

By discipline

Not all academic departments have discernible political leanings.[2] Among professors, less than 20% of whom identify as conservative, liberals are most prominent in the social sciences and humanities. Professors in engineering and business departments are largely split.

 

[Sean Renaud]

In response to the original question about if the lack of nominations for Selma has something to do with racial fatigue and people just being sick and tired of uppity blacks. Nope. Go look at the history of the awards and the nominations of and winners of African American Heritage. The truth is closer to Hollywood isn't nearly the liberal bastion people like to claim it is.

Whether or not it's a conscious effort to block out blacks or more the more likely answer that the audience is white and the experiences shown in primarily black movies are not their own, the people on the screen don't look or talk like them and are difficult to relate to because of that, the music is by and large not their own, so on and so forth some combination of the first two or a third that is unknown to me is hard to tell.

As for the Bell Curve it wasn't even peer reviewed you don't need to prove it wrong or debunk it. They need to return to square one and prove their shit in the first place.
