The Merit System in Academia Is Unjust Because It Rewards Productive Individuals, Professors Argue
Campus Reform | 09/09/2021 | Kate Anderson

Professors from the University of Arizona and the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, are arguing that “success and merit” are “barriers” to the equity agenda.

“Admitting that the normative definitions of success and merit are in and of themselves barriers to achieving the goals of justice, diversity, equity and inclusion is necessary but not sufficient to create change,” professors Beth Mitchneck and Jessi L. Smith recently wrote for Inside Higher Education.

Oh, wait. It’s real. (Sad Face)

Pelosi Orders U.S. Capitol Police To Reinstall Fence Around Congress…
Citizen Free Press | 9/10/2021

WASHINGTON (AP) — Law enforcement officials concerned by the prospect for violence at a rally in the nation’s capital next week are planning to reinstall protective fencing that surrounded the U.S. Capitol for months.

Nancy Pelosi hinted during her weekly press conference Wednesday at extra safety precautions for the Sept. 18 rally by saying: “We intend to have the integrity of the Capitol be intact.”

A security plan that is being finalized calls for a fenced perimeter on the streets immediately surrounding the Capitol building and the Supreme Court, though not around the congressional office buildings nearby.

The Capitol Police formally requested the fence to the board that oversees it, and it is likely to be approved, according to a House Democrat aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to talk about private discussions.

Police continue to track intelligence indicating groups like Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are planning to attend next week’s rally to demand “justice” for the hundreds of political prisoners who have been charged.

“Justice” is now (sarcastically) in quotes?

Welcome to IMAO! What the Heck Is Upstairs?

No one knows.

FrankJ sweeps down the stairs occasionally, preceded by dark, ominous organ music — or, on special occasions (of which there are few), a fanfare of trumpets. All are amplified through some pretty cool recessed loudspeakers.

And then — if one is lucky — one gets a cookie. Sans walnuts, of course. Or raisins; or ceremony. Or flour, sugar, or expensive butter.

The visitation is done. He brushes the dust of these “cookies’ from his fingertips, and the triple-thickness oak door clangs shut behind him.

And another year goes by.

Someday he will learn to breathe like Darth Vader.
