UNLV removes Hey Reb!, eyes mascot changes

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Not sure if this belongs here or not, but here is Dan Wolken continuing his quest to be the most socially aware and biggest douche of a journalist going.
He raises a good question... should UNLV change it’s mascot? I’m sure that’s what he referring to

Well UNLV took down a statue.

He's trolling Ole Miss, they are still technically the Rebels. But he's a typical sportswriter douche

He’s the worst. He was the worst prior to all of this during our coaching search.

He really hates UT because they own Tiger High and he constantly hates when Memphis the city is made fun of for it's awfulness

So you are saying that the United States is a collection of sovereign states? Not a Unified nation of individual states with consolidated power.

That's how it was back then.

That's why states still have to ratify amendments even in congress passes them.

It's truly amazing that so many people know so little about our history and structure.

And the way things are now, the reality about that might be dead forever.

I didn’t know it had anything to do with Memphis. That’s hilarious. The USA Today really has had it in for Tennessee over the years. Whether it’s been Woken, Nancy Armour, Christine Brennan they all like to take their shot at UT for stupid stuff. It’s all manufactured garbage takes too.

See the protests. They are tearing down any old statue assuming they are racist. Even if the statue is of a dedicated abolitionist or a regiment of black soldiers.

It's why I have been posting in this thread. There is clear intent to not actually know the truth of the matter but instead some woke version of our history which dishonors those who actually went thru the real thing and their accomplishments.

I for the life of me cannot understand how college educated people could not know the history of this country. How they could support increased federal power will always be a mystery to me.

I agree, and I don't know how anyone can look at the first 10 years of the republic, including Hamilton's financial system, and reach the conclusion that order and property rights are not paramount. I didn't jump in on that one the other day, because sometimes it's just not worth it.

It's hard to explain truth to people who have no interest in it or simply do not want to believe it.

It’s almost like there’s an outside influence on the minds , hours at a time throughout the week .

Check out today's teachers and curricula, and you might come to a better understanding..

I have to attend in-service at several of the local colleges because I teach an upper-division history class once or twice a year for them, and I can tell you that it's a bad situation in terms of how many high schools have turned US history into a one-semester class. I'm not even sure how many schools teach modern Europe anymore. (My "20th Century Europe" class is no longer offered because of lack of interest.) History is pretty much deemed "non-essential." And if you look at the state standards for a lot of subjects, it's a real head-scratcher in terms of who's putting these standards together, which because of testing requirements seem to be the only things that a lot of teachers emphasize. Those of us who got into this profession for the right reasons are very frustrated with the whole direction of it all, I can tell you.

It's the best way to allow the atrocities of the past to happen again.

Dont bother teaching the truth, teach your version of events and you can mold the future.

Well,that was like over a 100 years ago and they wore wigs and wrote with feathers.

My wife got her eyes opened early to the public educational system, and quit after student teaching. She opened a business instead. It worked out well for her.
