"The South Bay assemblyman was a student at El Camino College near Torrance when he joined protests against the war and funding cuts to education while advocating for ethnic studies classes at his school."
Do we need one more race-baiting politician convinced that minority students need to be suffused with ethnic self-aggrandizement in order to feel valuable and useful?
Ethnic students have done nothing but promote a horde of grievance industry driven voters who elect fire-eating politicians to pander to stirred up sympathies.
This pandering takes the form of government largesse to state universities hiring humanities professors whose coursework is in no way connected to the real world. Young people leaving post-secondary institutions with a piece of paper called a "diploma" are indoctrinated with layered mantras buffered by empty scholastic studies peer-reviewed by the same liberal myopia that gave rise to these grievance industries in the first place.
Rather than instilling any sense of pride, ethnic studies programs promote a sense of hopelessness in young people, convincing (or rather, conniving) them to believe that the world is a hostile, racist area, solipsistically determined to thwart their every effort to improve their lot in life. These programs also "teach" these "True Believers to Be" that only greater government intervention can effect a more fair society, based on the double-speak nonentities of "fairness" and "social justice".
The masses of recently graduated derelicts imbibed with such anti-rigorous rhetoric have taken to the streets, Occupying Everywhere, demanding a Peter-Pan existence at the hand of the state, subsidized by someone else's money, presumably the Rich White Elite Males who "dominate" Wall Street.
Such anti-intelligent (yet very intellectual) banter has demonized the hopes of many youth, still stuck in a moribund mode of self-pity, waiting for someone else to make everything better.
Such a mad manifest is in part the work of ethnic studies programs initiated by State Assemblyman Warren Furutani.
Do we really want more of the same sitting at the helm of local government, taking advantage of unjustified rage to justify the further encroachments of the state into our daily lives, frustrating economic recovery and undermining the individual ethic that makes possible the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
I hope that the voters of the 15th Council District in Los Angeles will ponder this matter before casting their vote next week.
