You have to understand the level of education in Colorado.

'‘We will not, at any time, debate the science of climate change’

Three professors co-teaching an online course called “Medical Humanities in the Digital Age” at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs recently told their students via email that man-made climate change is not open for debate, and those who think otherwise have no place in their course.

“The point of departure for this course is based on the scientific premise that human induced climate change is valid and occurring. We will not, at any time, debate the science of climate change, nor will the ‘other side’ of the climate change debate be taught or discussed in this course,” states the email, a copy of which was provided to The College Fix by a student in the course.

Signed by the course’s professors Rebecca Laroche, Wendy Haggren and Eileen Skahill, it was sent after several students expressed concern for their success in the course after watching the first online lecture about the impacts of climate change.

“Opening up a debate that 98% of climate scientists unequivocally agree to be a non-debate would detract from the central concerns of environment and health addressed in this course,” the professors’ email continued.

“… If you believe this premise to be an issue for you, we respectfully ask that you do not take this course, as there are options within the Humanities program for face to face this semester and online next.”'

The three professors have as their specialities - genetic engineering of yeast, 16th-17th English (with research in early modern recipes), and the Sociology of climate change.

And they can't even  get the 97% claim right.

This puts me in mind of the last item on SBS News last night . . .and I think you'll understand why.

They ran a whole lot of footage of people stealing or pulling down Donald Trump signs.
Now I know it happens everywhere, including here, but this seemed to be something of an epidemic.
And the funny thing was in many cases people would stop their car, quickly get out, steal the sign, quickly get back in & drive away.

Now, the guy filming one sequence went up to the people in the car and said:
"Why are you doing this"

"Because we don't like your politics" came the answer, and then "Anyway we're teenagers (which they didn't look to be) so I guess we get some leeway on this."

The stupid stupid people who do this have never considered that when they take away another person's freedom of speech, they are diminishing their own at the same time.

Topic: Obama's legacy.

Lee's input...

You are such a god damn hippie, I swear.

Let's see, what do Obama do?

Well...no, lets not start there.

Obamie did appoint Timothy "assface" Geithner as treasury secretary to send out an unambiguous smoke signal to Wall Street that its corporate/capiltist interests would be protected at all cost. Yeah, he did do that.


Assface Central

Assface Geithner served as the big-wig of the Federal Reserve Bank while the Obama Administration overlooked the the inflation of the subprime mortgage bubble that exploded in late 2007 that eventually led to the September 2008 financial meltdown that so buggered over America it never has recovered. Assface here was one of Obamie's main douchenozzles, along with that (Texuun) Bush-appointed hack of a Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chair Nazi Bernanke. Remember them? They were the architect of TARP program who allowed for the subsequent infusions of public funds to be funneled right back into into the corrupt banking and financial system. So Obama did do that, yeah.

Then-

Obama gave the all mighty "bugger you" to any government-imposed limits when it came to the salaries (and bonuses) of all those Wall Street Nazi's executive bankers AND corporations that received billions of dollars in federal handouts and guarantees through TARP. So yeah, Obama did do that.

Obama also allowed for the US Federal Reserve to lower its benchmark interest rate to near zero (or close to it) while adopting the policy of something called “quantitative easing” that also funneled trillions of dollars into the financial markets.

So yeah, Obamie did do that.

Then -

Obama reappointed Bernanke sometime in 2009 and his femme fatale financial assassin Janet Yellen (another Nazi) as his successor in 2013 in order to fully support the continuation of his buggered-up policy.

Some legacy!

Of course, this in return gave a boner rise that has greatly exacerbated the growth of social inequality upon which many Americans are paying for today. Obama made god damn sure the wealth of some odd 400 richest individuals in the America went from a measly $1.27 trillion in 2009 to to a whopping $2.34 trillion in 2015.

Legacy or what?

So you see, not everybody was left with "zero"

Hippie.

There was once a time when Boey was cool. A time before Brietbart.

Oh and Panther was never cool.

Allow me to explain something to you.

Typical day at the Breitbart (pseudo) journalism offices:

Brietbart pseudojournalist 1: "Whatcha doing?"

Brietbart pseudojournalist 2: "Nuthin'"

Brietbart pseudojournalist 1: "Want to make something up?"

Brietbart pseudojouralist 2: "Sure! What do we have to do?"

Brietbart pseudojournalist 1: "That's the beauty of it. We don't have to fact check, research, or even interview. We just make it up as we go along. But, you know, keep it anti-Hillary."
