March of the Ediuvationoids



James Comey, the former Federal Bureau of Investigation director who was fired last year by U.S. President Donald Trump, will teach a course on ethical leadership at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, the school said on Friday. “Ethical leaders lead by seeing above the short term, above the urgent or the partisan, and with a higher loyalty to lasting values, most importantly the truth,” Comey said in a statement released by the college, the country’s second oldest. Comey graduated from William & Mary in 1984 with a double major in chemistry and religion. (Reuters--1-20-2018)

Oh, what a peachy- keen  idea. The USA's second oldest institution of higher learning is dying a discredited and suspected hypocritical manipulator of facts and motives to teach mushy brained that boys and sororoty sweethearts the difference between right and wrong !

This is obviously a practical joke, RIGHT ?

Oh.. Wait !!  It's what higher education DOES in the 21st century hereabouts.

Your local fish wrapper did not do a banner headline on this gem of a PR train wreck and your perky, 
Palsy -Welty talking head hasn't mentioned it yet.

BUT, we can casually predict some further appointments stemming from the academic Left's clueless wondering in the wilderness of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Sirhan Sirhand, of first murderous Islamic terrorist, will be released from prison to "do" seminars on how to assassinate presidential candidates in the name of a "religion of peace".

Alcee Hastings, and impeached- and- found- guilty federal judge now serving in Congress, may be elevated to a position in the Department of Defense Command and General Staff school to tutor  courts-martial members on military Justice guidelines.

Former Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards can be cajoled into distilling his wisdom and experience into a brief course on "The Ultimate Marriage and Conjugal Fifelity.

Matt Lauer  and Harvey Weinstein, of course will be top-notch professors of  "Restraint and Primacy of Virtue in the Workplace" --- a year-long course for coeducational classes at Columbia University in New York City.

For the unboggled mind, the possibilities are as promising as those of another Secretariat thoroughbred.

Bill and Hillary on "Faith and Fidelity.  Venezuela's  Maduro on "Ruling with Gentle Compassion", and Raul Castro could reveal his nation's secrets on "How to Assassinate a U. S. President with Impunity".

I tell you, the backlog of treasured teachers and professors with pomposity is virtually inexhaustible.

Send in your nominations for the next great wave of educationoids, sans portfolio.
