If you ever have purchased a stale piece of meat, your stomach and mine should bond after I read a heavily xeroxed essay by a Cal State Northridge professor this morning in the Daily News.
A tepid newspaper that is a timorous counterweight to the Los Angeles Titanic, its frothy reputation may have been the reason that Kristy Kouri felt comfortable sharing her inorganic, weed-sprouting opinions with unadventurous readers.
Ms. Kouri scored a rare bullseye.
An embarrassment to teachers who are critical thinkers, Ms. Kouri landed another a black eye for her already scarred profession. As a loyal, incurious Democrat, she failed to advance a single original idea or concept among her gruel-like 24 sentences.
Two magnets drew me to Ms. Kouri’s intellectual aerobics:
The headline, “The wealthy need to show compassion for the needy,” and Ms. Kouri’s classroom duties, teaching sociology and, heaven help some of us, “gender & women’s studies,” which probably is hosted at the Coliseum to accommodate demand.
Based on this revealing evidence, Ms. Kouri must be the No. 1 female dullard in the San Fernando Valley.
Ms. (I Am Pretty Darned Sure the Sky Is Falling and Will Hit Us If the Rich Don’t Give Us More of Their Money) Kouri opened with four assertions that most Democrats have memorized before starting school:
• 1. Public school teachers are being laid off.
• 2. Twenty-five percent of the nation’s children live in poverty.
• 3. The American middle class is shrinking.
• 4. A growing number of businesses are moving overseas.
Our 4-year-old grandson can recite these backward or forward without coaching
I would hope Ms. Kouri penalize any student who would fling these four generic claims on the floor without a trace of evidence.
Let’s review.
• Public school teachers have been getting laid off for150 years in this country. A meaningless assertion. Eighty-five years ago, my grandfather was fired for being the wrong religion. So? Hers is not only an empty but dumb statement.
• The dear girl has no more idea than I how many children are living in poverty, typical for an academic, a wretchedly uninformed, feel-good and screamingly meaningless opinion. Drowning in daffiness. Why didn’t she say 4 percent? Because that would not elicit enough left-wing sympathy. Sixty-five percent of Americans have brown hair. Therefore, what?
• Madam, the notion that the American middle class is shrinking (duck, here come the dinosaurs) started on Skid Row, got a terrific reaction along Main Street, and now is a staple of all left-wing bibles. It is intended to imply slippage into poverty because advancement into a wealthier class would blow the narrative of these lowest-register intellectuals.
• Businesses moving overseas. Even a slow child could see through this ruse. Ms. Kouri, many businesses are oppressively taxed. They are desperate to escape. You say they are transferring because they are rich, and they should be staying home to surrender their earnings to deadbeats, you and your friends. Dial your friend in the White House, The Joke Who Became President. Bozo Obama promised to redistribute America’s wealth. What happened, Bozo?
