If teaching is a branch of the entertainment industry (which, arguably, it 
is*), then I must congratulate Dr. Grant Morris, of the Victoria University 
of Wellington Law School, for recently gaining a Teaching Excellence Award. 
It is fully merited, and, with the benefit of the wide experience gained 
from having been an almost perpetual student, I can only endorse the 
following sentiments expressed in V. Alum (April 2006 issue):

"Students and colleagues speak incredibly highly of Dr. Morris's influence, 
impact and enthusiasm, and claim that he is one of the best lecturers the 
School of Law, indeed the University, has ever seen."



However, I come to bury the politicisation of education -- not to praise it 
(with apologies to Shakespeare).



Power

The above-mentioned article refers to Dr. Morris consistently achieving 
exceptionally high ratings from students, and this raises the issue of the 
power of students over lecturers at universities where student ratings form 
part of the professional evaluation of lecturers. This power means that 
lecturers feel pressure to conform with the mentality, mores and political 
views of students.

For example, I know of one right-wing male lecturer at the same Law School 
who (totally out of context) referred to his own inability to 
"multi-task" -- an obvious display of subservience to the pressure-group of 
Feminist bimbos in the class, since "multi-tasking" has had a lot of 
publicity as being something that women can supposedly do better than men 
can (I have seen no publicity about how well women do tasks when they are 
multi-tasking, so I assume they do them badly -- otherwise this would have 
received a lot of publicity, too, in the Feminist media).



Stupidity

Anyone who knows the feudal model according to which universities function 
knows that you get a PhD and your articles published, etc., if, and only if, 
you follow the school of thought endorsed by your thesis advisor, the 
particular journal you want to get published in, or some other applicable 
authoritarian institution. So it is not surprising that Feminist journals 
have sprung up that publish Feminist rubbish, and that Feminism is now so 
powerful in academia that Feminist rubbish gets published (and anti-Feminist 
articles excluded) in mainstream jorunals.

When I say rubbish, I do mean rubbish -- self-contradictory rubbish, no 
less. See Feminist Jurisprudence Proves that a Woman's Place is in the Home 
http://rightsofman.fortunecity.com/femathom.html

That article originated as an essay for a course on Jurisprudence which was 
excellently taught by Dr. Grant Morris. It was a critique of one of the 
readings (on Feminist Jurisprudence) set by him for the course. Since I 
found that the reading was self-contradictory, I could criticise him for 
asking us to read it. However, that presumes that Feminism is an academic 
thought-system which is evaluated according to intellectual criteria. In 
fact, it is an ideology which is enforced by believers who assault, shout 
down, and otherwise intimidate and victimise people who disagree openly with 
it. So, in the highly political atmosphere of that Law School, I have no 
right to expect lecturers to behave rationally -- and they often don't.



Mob Rule

After writing the essay, I recall that I immediately put it onto the Web and 
emailed Dr. Morris, drawing his attention to it. At the start of the next 
class, he made a remark that indicated to me that he agree with me that the 
Feminist Jusrisprudence article in question was rubbish.

Soon afterwards (either at an interval, or before the start of the next 
class), I saw a group of Feminist bimbos talking to him. At a subsequent 
lecture, he stated that Domestic Violence was a "women's issue". This, of 
course, is a Feminist way of claiming that men do not suffer Domestic 
Violence at the hands of women. I asked him what evidence he had for this 
claim, and he was so taken aback that I had time to repeat the word 
"evidence" and even to spell it out: "E-V-I=D-E-N-C-E" ! He looked for 
help -- in vain -- at the group of Feminist bimbos in the audience. I then 
referred to Professor Martin Fiebert's annotated Domestic Violence 
bibliography http://rightsofman.fortunecity.com/dvsumary.html , which shows 
that women are at least as violent towards men as vice-versa.

It is essential not to be misled by what universities might have been in the 
past. Western universities at present are feudal structures which have been 
taken over by Feminist mobs, like what happens after a parasitic wasp lays 
its eggs in the body of a caterpillar, or a virus or hacker takes over a 
computer.



*And I say that as a former secondary teacher and lecturer myself.
