Ethnic Studies? I can teach that class in 20 minutes, do they really give degrees in it - LOL - Education is a farce if they consider this a legitimate course!

In light of the Asians in the Library vlog rant it may take years and even more effort to overcome racism and celebrate ethnic diversity.

The public should speak out against UCLA's recently instituted "approval" process on viewer comments on its new YouTube video commercials.
For more on this important matter, see: "Video message from Chancellor Gene Block.flv"
Search: "The University of California and The Secular Priesthood"
and: "The University of California Office of the President as The Wizard of Oz"
As I said to the UCOP, silence is, after all, an activity of immense effect, and of immense long-term consequences.

For an important lesson on how UCLA (under Dean Mitchell-Kernan) can weed out a student, search Google: "Weeding 101 at UCLA" or "Letter to Dean Mitchell-Kernan." This lesson might be kept in mind as UCLA celebrates that which its students then forced upon it, as often enough, those students too were weeded out for engaging in their important struggles to bring greater diversity of views to the university (and beyond).
