I would think that education would be a topic that Palin tries to avoid.

Alaska has the highest rate of high school drop-outs in the country.

What does she care...her kids are being home-schooled.

Alaska has a high level of American Indian/Eskimo population with the high drop out rates.

Also, same group has high incidence of alcohol addiction.

Excuses, excuses. And yet Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, Lousiana and the rest of the Gulf states, all with high Indian and minority populations with alcohol addiction problems, managed to rank above Alaska in drop out rates?

No wonder her hubby wants Alaska to secede. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. He could be king if they did.

ALARUM!

Waterboy is attempting a Thread Hijacking.

This thread originated about Obama, Columbia University, and the Frankfurt School of Marxist-Leninism.

What do Alaskan High School drop-outs have to do with this Topic?

Answer:

NOTHING.

Get back on Topic, please.

So, FB, couldn't get anywhere with your nonsense on another thread, so you start your own.  Do you really not appreciate how totally ridiculous you sound?  It's as dumb as the radicals that claim McCain is some sort of Manchurian candidate.

Columbia is a world-renowned University, ranking 8th in the country, and home of the Pulitzer prize.  Before becoming president, Dwight Eisenhower was the president of Columbia University--and we all know he was secretly a marxist.  Here's a list of the current courses that are being taught at Columbia:

http://www.columbia.edu/cu/polisci/undergrad/course-unify/2008-2009/index.html

All very relevant courses if you are to become president, IMO.  None of them on marxist theory.

C'mon FB, get with the times.  Marxism is no longer the buzzword your party uses to scare people into voting republican.  Even the communist countries don't believe in communism any more.  Your party now uses muslim extremists, in case you missed the memo.

Eisenhower was sent to Columbia to clean it up.

After all, he had beaten the Nazis.

Beating a few college professors would be mere child's play.

In 1949, the Frankfurt School moved back to West Germany.

Herbert Marcuse and some of his disciples stayed behind.....

Horkheimer moved on to the UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO............

Your only motive is to post flammable headlines that bear remote resemblance to reality. Then you're surprised that people gravitate away from them?

Like most bears these days you've gravitated to tourist trash bags for your dinner. Lazy trash eating bears. Oh, well, Garbage In...Garbage Out!

Sometimes adding 1 + 1 + 1 = Three.

Mommy was a Commie and an Atheist.

Daddy was a Commie and a Muslim.

Barry therefore was a Red-Diaper Doper Baby.  

And, became an adult Commie.  He's also a Muslim by birth, since his father was a Muslim, and by his annointed name so indicated his Muslim heritage.

Obama studied under the Marxist disciples of the Frankfurt School in his Political Science and history classes while at Columbia University, the nexus of their penetration into Ivy League academia.

Majored in Political Science.

Won't release Grades or Classes from Columbia.

And, READ what he writes and says about himself.  It is replete with references to Collectivism.  

Add it up.

I'm not wrong.

He's a Marxist-Leninist, and an indoctrinated believer in the Critical Theory of Marxism.

If you Google on "Obama and Communism", you will get 1,790,000 hits.

It appears that someone else has figured out that the Democrat Party Presidential Candidate is a hard-core Marxist-Leninist, having received his advanced indoctrination while a Political Science major at Columbia University.

Here's an interesting take on another of Obama's philosophical mentors, Frank Marshall Davis....The poet "Frank" in Obama 1st memoir:

Alaska also has the highest rate of airplane crashes per capita.  That is evil I tell you.  The Palins own a Piper Super Cub and have never crashed it, it's just not fair to the rest of the bush pilots up there.  

You really should check your facts a little closer, you are losing respect and credibility amongst some of us here with your poorly-researched hit pieces on the first female VP candidate with a real chance at making it into office.

I'd be willing to bet, she's the only sitting  governor in the country who has encouraged teens considering dropping out of high school to call her office.

http://juneauempire.com/stories/111207/sta_20071112001.shtml

I'd say she cares an awful lot about it.

It's real easy to impugn Gov. Palin when you don't understand squat about the realities of living in a place like Alaska.

Keep in mind this is from the liberal blogs:

That must be why the state is being sued by educators, parents, and school districts to provide adequate funding for public schools...

http://www.neaalaska.org/acaf/fund/zrelease%20filelawsuitaug04.htm

Educators, school districts, parents file landmark lawsuit against the state

Charge that inadequate and inequitable school funding violates Alaska Constitution

The lawsuit filed today charges that the state's funding of kindergarten through high school (K-12) education violates the Alaska Constitution for two reasons:

1) because the state does not invest enough money in its schools to provide an adequate education for all students; and

2) because the state's funding formula treats children of differing circumstances differently.

"Adequacy and equity in school funding is THE civil rights issue of our day," said NEA-Alaska President Bill Bjork.

Over the past two decades, while Alaska has enjoyed unparalleled wealth, we have systematically reduced our investment in our schools.  Inflation alone has eroded the value of each education dollar to just 52.7 cents.

Moore vs. State of Alaska is a natural extension of the Brown vs. Board of Education case that struck down segregated schools 50 years ago.  The litigation is also the latest in a series of school finance lawsuits filed in states around the country over the past half century.  

"The overwhelming majority of these lawsuits have been successful," said Bjork.  "And I'm confident that we'll prevail in ours."

Bjork also noted that the suit is about resource development.  "Alaska's greatest resource is our children, and all of us know the important connection between a well educated work force and economic prosperity.  Every Alaskan has a real stake in making sure our children get the best possible education."    

Kim Langton, superintendent of Kuspuk Schools and chair of Citizens for the Educational Advancement of Alaska's Children (CEAAC), puts the legal action into context in Alaska:   "Moore vs. State of Alaska is the necessary and logical next step from the landmark case, Kasayulie vs. State of Alaska."   That case, brought by CEAAC, successfully challenged the disparity between large and small districts in terms of funding school facilities.  

The new lawsuit charges that all education funding is discriminatory—that the state is violating the Alaska Constitution by treating poor, minority and special needs children different from majority children.  The state does this by arbitrarily and irrationally restricting funding for districts where children are overwhelmingly minority and economically disadvantaged.

"Here we are, 50 years after Brown struck down school segregation, and huge numbers of children in Alaska still don't have access to an equal education," noted Langton.

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit are:  Kristine & Gregory Moore of Wasilla; Mike and Maggie Williams from Akiak; Melvin and Rosemary Otton from Koyuk; Wayne and Martha Morgan from Aniak; Yupiit School District; Bering Strait School District; NEA-Alaska; and Citizens for the Educational Advancement of Alaska's Children, or CEAAC.

Plaintiffs ask that the court order a cost analysis for providing a constitutionally adequate education, and then fund that education accordingly.

What earthly relation does your post have to the Topic of: Obama, Columbia U., and the Frankfurt School??

Is this another attempted Thread Hi-Jacking?

There is another thread about Palin support for Alaska public education, coupled with why she's a terrible mother and an alleged adulterer.  I think it's a single Topic posted by one of your pals.

[waterboy]

You're joking right?

Here was another attempt to derail this thread with remarks YOU made unrelated to higher education:

Obama wants to make sure we read them their constitutional rights.

FB wants to send them straight to their mythological 72 virgins.

Then, bury the body face down wrapped in a pigskin. U.S. General Blackjack Pershing used this technique in the Philippines battling the Moro (Muslim) insurrection.

It worked.

Your hypocrisy is mindboggling.

Your hypocrisy is mindboggling.

It is a perfectly logical and acceptable segue in a debate to transition from discussion of Obama's Marxist orientation;

Then, link with how his Marxist orientation would administer the War against his brethren in the Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organizations;

Followed by then COUNTERING his unworkable approach with how our War against Islamicist SHOULD be conducted.

All perfectly synchronous.

It fits.

'In his books, Obama admits attending "socialist conferences" and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a "hard-core academic Marxist," which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes.

'However, through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just "Frank."

'The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations.'

. . . they say that like it is a bad thing . . .
