The Goat Pen

I'm a conservative Republican but in no way will I vote for Matt Bevin...... Guessing that there'll not be 5% of Kentucky teachers vote for him either. Can't vote for that idiot Beshear either. Won't vote in Nov. governors race.

because he killed the pension? I don't know what he did, but its something to do with that

here is him going after the media

Not only that but ridiculed and insulted ever retired and current teacher when we protested at Frankfort last year..... Check out some of the youtube videos and you'll see why we won't support him.

One of the many great signs at the Frankfort rally.....





Here's a whole bunch more.....

Funny stuff.....

What's wrong with not working and having everything paid for?

It's only good if only a few do it.

Hedge the comedian....

Actually I was serious...

happens to the best of us - I have been reading about Jerry Falwell Jr running Liberty University which led to this story

The pool boy will getcha every time...

Speaking of Falwell, here's a blast from the past. I wish Hitchens was still alive, I'd love to hear his take on Trump...

Falwell's son is an interesting read. He has turned a non profit university into a 3 billion endowment money money machine.

But he appears to be about as smart as I am (you're not very bright are you eCat?) and he's pretty big on do as I say, not as I do when it comes to christian doctrine.

I hate guys like that with a white hot passion.

Racist.

you Duke boys done messed up now

The Trump administration is threatening to cut funding for a Middle East studies program run by the University of North Carolina and Duke University, arguing that it's misusing a federal grant to advance "ideological priorities" and unfairly promote "the positive aspects of Islam" but not Christianity or Judaism.

An Aug. 29 letter from the U.S. Education Department orders the Duke-UNC Consortium for Middle East Studies to revise its offerings by Sept. 22 or risk losing future funding from a federal grant that's awarded to dozens of universities to support foreign language instruction. The consortium received $235,000 from the grant last year, according to Education Department data.

Officials at Duke and at UNC-Chapel Hill, which houses the consortium, declined to comment. The Education Department declined to say if it's examining similar programs at other schools.

Academic freedom advocates say the government could be setting a dangerous precedent if it injects politics into funding decisions. Some said they had never heard of the Education Department asserting control over such minute details of a program's offerings.

"Is the government now going to judge funding programs based on the opinions of instructors or the approach of each course?" said Henry Reichman, chairman of a committee on academic freedom for the American Association of University Professors. "The odor of right-wing political correctness that comes through this definitely could have a chilling effect."

More than a dozen universities receive National Resource Center grants for their Middle East programs, including Columbia, Georgetown, Yale and the University of Texas. The Duke-UNC consortium was founded in 2005 and first received the grant nearly a decade ago.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos ordered an investigation into the program in June after North Carolina Rep. George Holding, a Republican, complained that it hosted a taxpayer-funded conference with "severe anti-Israeli bias and anti-Semitic rhetoric." In a response to Holding, DeVos said she was "troubled" by his letter and would take a closer look at the consortium.

I'm guessing Rat had this same viewpoint in school even though he probably wasn't a Climate Change activist.
