Good deals for the future in which perpetual warfare is a reality!
Do you think the college and university brochures, websites, or the campus counselors encourage students to major in an area of study under Humanities? No corporate advertisement and newspeak on the Internet, on the television, and on the billboards have already educated students to follow the money"
And more--
There is a discourse to be learned and advanced: There are enemies everywhere, young man, young woman. Enemies in your home, your neighborhood, town, state, across the nation and abroad. And there is money for you to think of ways to annihilate them!
But have we also reached a point in which many, and not all traditional transgressors, can chuckle at the absurdity of corporate enlightenment?
Fresno State University has its " Save Mart Center " and the University of Maryland its " Comcast Center " (Parentdish.com). Blue Cross and Blue Shield offered $15 million to the University of Iowa in exchange for the school naming its Public Health department after the corporation (Parentdish.com, August 2007). At the University of Missouri - St. Louis , "corporate support for UMSL students is highly valued" (http://www.umsl.edu/services/develop/support/corp-partners).
I didn't know it until recently, but I am a student at Nike University"
Recently, a faculty head of an American Studies at a large Midwestern university was guest on one a radio program. African American Studies is this faculty's area of study. The voice belongs to one who knows but who also observes his subject at a distance. It cannot be helped.
At the end of some fifteen minutes of discussing race, whites, and Black Americans, a young Black male caller intrudes: why do schools and universities fear teaching U.S. history? Why do white teachers, specifically fear teaching U.S. history?
What do whites fear, he asked--that people of color, if they were told the truth, would hate white people?
Let the chips fall where they may, said the caller. Teach U.S. history!
I hear the speaker mention Arizona . Arizona ? And I am now looking at his department's website. I can see the speaker, male, white, and youngish. I see a predominantly white faculty, including women. Possibly two members may have been non-white but not Black. Most of the faculty teaches Indigenous, African American, and Mexican American studies.
Arizona !
