33. "A Thin-Skinned Minority Is Ruining This Nation": Professor Crushes "Political Correctness" Wave Sweeping America

In a time where college students are offended by pretty much everything, The Federalist Papers reports that one professor at UNC-Wilmington decided to cut through the rhetoric and let his students know that they aren’t the special snowflakes liberals and their parents would have them believe.His epic class introduction has gone viral, and for good reason: this is the most common sense lecture to come out of any college in a long time.Welcome back to class, students! I am Mike Adams your criminology professor here at UNC-Wilmington. Before we get started with the course I need to address an issue that is causing problems here at UNCW and in higher education all across the country. I am talking about the growing minority of students who believe they have a right to be free from being offended. If we don’t reverse this dangerous trend in our society there will soon be a majority of young people who will need to walk around in plastic bubble suits to protect them in the event that they come into contact with a dissenting viewpoint. That mentality is unworthy of an American. It’s hardly worthy of a Frenchman.Let’s get something straight right now. You have no right to be unoffended. You have a right to be offended with regularity. It is the price you pay for living in a free society. If you don’t understand that you are confused and dangerously so.

34. Gove's revenge on EU: Brussels axed from lessons as it is blamed for sinking exam reform | Mail...

Michael Gove yesterday dropped the European Union from the school curriculum – as EU laws were blamed for helping to sink his flagship plans to scrap GCSEs.Pupils will no longer be required to learn about the organisation in geography lessons while citizenship classes will merely specify studying the UK’s ‘relations with the rest of Europe’.The move is part of the Education Secretary’s far-reaching overhaul of the curriculum for primary and secondary schools aimed at restoring knowledge and rigour and reversing a trend for politically-correct causes to creep into lessons.

36. Ed Miliband's welfare plan shows he's not ready for high office - Telegraph

The Labour Party leader's ideas for tackling youth unemployment are tough, assertive – and utterly misguided.A penny appears to be dropping over the head of Ed Miliband. He has been thinking about poverty, and why there’s so much of it given that the last government lavished so many billions of pounds on the problem. He has also been thinking about the election, and why David Cameron’s tough-love approach to benefits is so wildly popular. And he has reached a conclusion: that the Conservatives are actually talking some sense about the need to rewire the welfare state, so it’s about time that Labour tried to do the same.

40. Rebalancing the economy

The government’s economic plan rightly said it intended to cut the share of the economy taken by the public sector, and boost the share of manufacturing and production. The aim is to reverse the dramatic move in the other direction under Labour. In their last three full calendar years they presided over more than a 10% fall in production industries output, and a 3.7% increase in public sector real output.

41. From Trumpmania to Euroscepticism: Revenge of the Plebs | Coffee House

The Third Wayists are quaking in their boots. The middle-class, middle-of-the-road technocrats who have dominated politics for the best part of three decades are freaking out. These people who bristle at anything ideological, are disdainful of heated debate, and have bizarrely turned the word ‘moderate’ into a compliment feel under siege. And no wonder they do, for on both sides of the Atlantic their very worst nightmare — a revenge of the plebs — is becoming flesh.You can see this sometimes clumsy but nonetheless forceful reassertion of pleb power in everything from Trumpmania to the staggering back to life of Euroscepticism — or what snooty moderates call ‘Europhobia’, because every point of view that runs counter to their own must be a mental illness, right?

43. Petronella Wyatt: I was bullied out of Oxford for being a Tory - Telegraph

It is not just todays university students who are attacked for their views.I can’t remember a time when I didn’t dream of winning a place at Oxford University. Both my father and my elder brother had been at what I imagined was the world’s greatest seat of learning, a modern-day wine-blushed Greek symposium encouraging the dual pillars of civilisation, free thinking and tolerance.Yet, within two weeks of taking up my place at Worcester College in the late Eighties to read history, I’d packed my bags, precipitating the first scandal of my life. My father broke down and cried. Friends were baffled. The Evening Standard diary claimed I’d quit because I objected to fellow undergraduates having sex in the room next to mine. The writer A N Wilson announced waggishly that I’d departed because I was forced to drink out of chipped mugs.The truth was less droll. I ran away. Yes, ran, because I had been subject to systematic bullying and intimidation. Not on account of my rather outré name, or the fact that I came from a private school. I was persecuted for one reason only, and in this cradle of supposed enlightenment it was both bigoted and barbaric: my father, the late Woodrow Wyatt, was a high-profile adviser to Margaret Thatcher and I was a Conservative supporter.

45. Councillor Gareth Elliott: A bigger private sector would do more for poorer children Comment

The privatisation of national assets has always been a highly politically charged topic. Harold Macmillan famously likened Margaret Thatcher’s programme to “selling off the family silver”. Yet for all the scaremongering, the result has generally been a huge success. The UK’s car industry has gone from basket case to one of the most efficient in the world. Nobody today would seriously call for the renationalisation of BT, which is spending over £2bn on super-fast broadband, whilst our flag carrier, BA, is still a national champion; in fact, it is one of the most successful airlines in the world. The experience of privatisation is therefore one of success.Yet there are still areas where private enterprise cannot tread, and not because it couldn’t succeed, but because it is politically unpalatable. Education is one such example, yet it is potentially an area where the private sector could really make a difference.

46. Heaven help Education! | Roger Helmer MEP

It’s terribly bad form to pour scorn on another’s discomfiture, but I’m afraid that in the case of David Lammy, I just can’t resist the temptation. Mr. Lammy is described as Minister of State for Higher Education and Intellectual Property, which makes his recent display of ignorance and folly doubly disturbing. Ignorance, for being unable to answer some very simple general knowledge questions, and folly, for choosing to parade his failure in front of the nation.A couple of nights back he appeared on BBC2′s “Celebrity Mastermind”. In the first round, with his specialist subject “Muhammad Ali”, he came last of the four contestants with just eight points. But it was in his second round, on general knowledge, that he came spectacularly unstuck. Our Minister of State for Higher Education did not know that a measuring tube used in a chemistry laboratory was called a pipette.....

47. Vocational education report author rejects Miliband's anti-Government attacks Left Watch

Ed Miliband has decided to make vocational education a key part of his conference speech this afternoon, judging by the coverage in the press this morning. He is attacking the Government, ostensibly for not doing enough to provide vocational opportunities to students - despite the fact the Government is taking action on the issue.Professor Wolf, a respected economist, has now released a statement which refutes Miliband's partisan attack, by praising Michael Gove's implementation of her report, and welcoming Miliband to the "emerging consensus" on education:

Primary school children are stuck in crowded classrooms because Labour ignored warnings that an immigration-fuelled baby boom would lead to a shortage of places.Documents obtained under Freedom of Information laws show former Education Secretary Ed Balls ordered councils to axe spare places and close schools.They reveal he did so despite warnings from the Office for National Statistics as long ago as 2004 that the Labour government should have prepared for an influx of pupils after a baby boom.
