RedNeck Studies Department
The Homogeneous Corporate Moonbat Problem
There has been much trouble of late at various universities. The controversy invariably emanates from some politically correct ethnic studies department, gender agnostic studies department, or perhaps the womens studies department . These departments of study are usually created; ostensibly, to correct some perceived wrong. To ameliorate past "atrocities" perpetrated by society writ large.
The creation of these departments by various university executive staff is always cited as some sort of "outreach" program designed to enhance diversity and awareness. The problem, as I observe academia today, is that like lemmings marching off the cliff; they all strive to create diversity by aping the actions of other universities. The unintended consequence is that almost all university faculty and staff begin to sound the same left-wing-enviro-centric-terrorist-appeasing-hate-America-first rhetoric.
The homogeneousness of these moonbat rants do nothing whatsoever to encourage "diversity". Once you've heard the angry American-man-hating-environmentalist-rant of one moonbat womens/ethnic studies professor, you've heard them all. It's corporate homogeneity. It's similar to going to a Starbucks in Jackson, TN or uptown Charlotte, NC or downtown Portland, OR. You will get the same thing everytime, everyplace. Same thing with McDonalds, regardless of where you happen to visit one of their outlets. It is this type of corporate homogeneity that the moonbat-left so despises in everything from Wal-Mart to Starbucks. Yet in the academy, which the political left in this country owns without question, the moonbat-left can only produce that which it despises.
The Answer to the Homogeneous Corporate Moonbat Problem
The only solution I can see to break this unfortunate cycle is to sacrifice myself. I humbly offer my services as a candidate for hire, to Found and Chair a Redneck Studies department at any university willing to take a real stand for diversity. Diversity of thought.
My qualifications are as follows: BS degree in Communications and Political Science from University of Memphis.
Oh yeah, and I drive a gnarly old USAF line truck, with an NRA bumper sticker on it. Everyday.
I will require a salary commensurate with that of other university level department heads; say in the $100,000-$200,000 range. Creating such a department is the only solution to the appalling lack of diversity in our American university system today. The very existence of such a department would surely attract a new range of students to university who might not otherwise attend. Diversity demands it.
