RE: “Don’t make me choose” – A precis, brief of course, of today’s unlinkable Sun Sentinel, with emphasis on the nexus of education, free speech, and unintended consequences.

MS O,

I want to blame the feral chaos in Florida public schools, a topic that your Page 1 news story shows the results but not the cause[s], on Abe Fortas but  your separate article on anti-Semitism, also Page 1, prompted a “chilling effect” that nudged me to the “slippery slope” exit ramp labeled self-censorship.

By the time using race got to its overflowingly ripe fistula posture in determining educational policy, Obama, he of the still undiscovered 57 or 58 states plus the elusive English/Austrian dictionary and his self-proclaimed “wingman” Eric Holder, he of the Clinton pardon giveaways in January 2001, the rice was cooked.

Obama’s policy had a simple goal. Cut, reduce, decrease, retard, exfoliate, desiccate – choose your own word – the number of Black, Negro, colored, high yellow or shining ebony students with the Mark of Cain on their transcripts cum rap sheets, a Scarlet Letter of, and let’s be charitable because it is the Holy Season of Advent, “irrational exuberance”, particularly in classroom interpersonal relationships.

Let me get back to Abe Fortas.

I’m never sure whether it was Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton – and we give their Reverend status a good look – who called New York Jews “hooked nose interloping diamond merchants” but it seems not to have harmed their public careers. In fact, a strong case could for it enhancing them.

Do you remember Harold Howe? He was LBJ’s first, forgive me, educational rabbi? He had a strong Lysenko streak in his educational DNA. With careful preparation, meticulous tending, and strong community support and encouragement, students could be genetically altered to become, at once, better students, caring citizens, and contributing members of society who believe in doing all they cold for the collective good of their society.

He got his job because “Landslide Lyndon” sent Abe Fortas, the prototypical “New York lawyer”, as Bernie Nusbaum, Esq described himself after Vince Foster ate his gun in 1993, to Duval County, Texas to aid in the recount of the Democratic primary for US Senate in1948. Olivay, but, mirabile dictu, Honest Abe found 200 votes, in alphabetical order, that made Johnson a Senator. He then became Vice President and, if we are to believe “MacBird”, President Johnson. And it all began in Duval County, Texas. That’s where the first plans for the D.C. Vietnam Wall were hatched. 

[Full disclosure requires me to tell you that I first fracked an oil well there in 1974. I add that both I and the Republic have survived. That experience led me to 10 years in the cola business in Kentucky and West Virginia as a sole proprietor, general partner, and as an officer and director of a public company. These activities now have caused me to have a 3^rd party start my car because Granny Bloomberg and Friggin’ Hypocrite Tom Steyer want to have me flayed, flogged, dismembered, and then defenestrated]

Harold Howe was incidental collateral damage. Concomitant with LBJ proudly announcing that the Navy and the Air Force could not bomb a single “Vietnamese shit house” without his imprimatur.

The goal was to raise self-esteem by increasing test scores. One of the ways that were tired and abandoned was to change PI from 2.1416 to 3.0. It did increase math scores but some practical people realized that a whole generation of bridges would fall down. Of course, it would have led toa perpetual “Summers of Recovery” fueling hundreds of thousands of “shovel ready” jobs offset, tragically, by all those bodies in the river.

On to school violence.

Edmund Burke said perpetual conflict in any society is always between order and freedom.

I ended my daughter’s pre-teen bullying – she was the catcher and let me add that Congressman Schiff never had a violence-free lunch when he was in high school – the old-fashioned, Bayonne way. Further, I was perfectly willing to accept the consequences.

I will spend Christmas with her and her 3 daughters – My Texas Ladies – in Texas, “weather permitting and if the Creek don’t rise”. Believe me when I tell you that the same order of protection has been extended to them. I don’t know if we can stretch this particular to a universal, a problem unknown to moon-bat modern American Liberals, but

NOLO ME TANGERE CUM IMPECUNIS

is certainly worth a try.

PS – Somewhere in your paper today someone says Boris Johnson is “an incredible lucky politician”. Napoleon, when promoting a field grade officer, expected them to be brilliant but demanded that they be lucky. Plus, I have it form2 impeccable confidential sources, both well-known whistle blowers who, alas, must stay confidential, that eh KGB offered Wide-Bottomed Hillary a daily tongue bath, not from Barbara Mikulski or Rosa DeLauro, is she would not campaign in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, or Wisconsin. Also, the word deplorable, a word that she came to love as her own, came straight 13 Dherzinsky Square. Thus, the tradition of Russian collusion in American elections, a tradition begun by KGB agent and Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist Walter Duranty in 1932, was continued. 

One more thing.

Your Page 31A headline “Study says diet plays a big role in how large whales can get” causes me to smell Pulitzer, maybe even a reality show. Are hyo suggesting that he ore whales eat they bigger they get? Would that apply to one of the underlying causes of teenage violence, particularly in schools. Might teenage obesity be at root of the problem? Maybe if we ban double cheeseburgers, burritos, and the ominously existential threat of unlimited Big Gulps we would see a downturn in bullying? Maybe Granny Bloomberg is on to something.

Almost a clean getaway.

As to sea level rise, has anybody spoken to the Dutchies and the Japos? They have a pretty good record of keeping Neptune out of the rec room.

I promise this is it.

Can I use Shylock as a noun if I promise not to use it as a verb?
