Calling American public schools “progressive indoctrination camps,” Chuck “Texas Danger” Norris is coming out roundhouse kicking to ensure the next generation of school children don’t graduate from some pussified version of academia which teaches things like Gayness 101 and Killing Your Baby For AP Credit.
Writing on comedy website World Net Daily, Norris laments:
Why should liberals want to change the public educational system when it is turning out the product they have been striving for years to produce?
[…] On Dec. 27, 1820, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his vision for the University of Virginia (chartered in 1819), “This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow the truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error as long as reason is left free to combat it.” But what should happen 200 years later when our public schools and universities avoid the testing of truths? Or suppress alternate opinions because they are unpopular or politically incorrect? Or no longer tolerate opinions now considered errors or obsolete by the elite? What happens when sociopolitical agendas or scientific paradigms dominate academic views to the exclusion of a minority even being mentioned?
What happens when the political and public educational pendulum swings from concern for the tyranny of sectarianism in Jefferson’s day to secularism in ours? What happens when U.S. public schools become progressive indoctrination camps?
Dr. Jim Nelson Black, founder and senior policy analyst of the Sentinel Research Associates in Washington, D.C., wrote an excellent book, “Freefall of the American University.” In it, he documents the clear biases pervading our public academic settings. Among that lopsidedness is the intentional training of students to disdain America, freely experiment sexually, forcefully defend issues like abortion and homosexuality, as well as become cultural advocates for political correctness, relativism, globalization, green agendas and tolerance for all. One of the primary ways these educative platforms are spread is by recruiting and retaining faculty members who reflect and teach them. For example, citing from the polling firm of Luntz Research, Dr. Black notes that the 57 percent of faculty members represented in our most esteemed universities are Democrats (only 3 percent Republican) and 64 percent identify themselves as liberal (only 6 percent conservative). Moreover, 71 percent of them disagree that “news coverage of political and social issues reflects a liberal bias in the news media.” And the No. 1 answer they gave to the question, “Who has been the best president in the past 40 years?” was Bill Clinton (only 4 percent said Ronald Reagan).
Now for those of you feeling a little short-handed — as in: Yes, Chuck Norris, but what can we do about this? — don’t worry. He’ll be back for another round: “In Part 2, I will give eight specific ways that you and I can fight progressivism in the U.S. public education system.” I hope he starts with “Restore our children’s right to pick on faggots.”

Once again, someone complaining about liberals, but has Norris or any of them even bothered to look up what the word means?
Liberal: open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values : they have more liberal views toward marriage and divorce than some people.
• favorable to or respectful of individual rights and freedoms : liberal citizenship laws.
• (in a political context) favoring maximum individual liberty in political and social reform
It would seem to me, from what I read of things up there with you yanks that more personal freedoms, individual rights, etc. the teabag people would be quite pleased with this – wouldn’t this indicate smaller government, less government involvement in people’s lives?
Perhaps I’m just a simple bush fella who sees things a bit differently but hey, maybe I just go grab a VB and watch the show.

Chuck Norris is still alive? OK, his body must be, but his brain sounds like he’s trapped in 1955. Please tell me he’s NOT running for political office. We’ve seen what happens when bad actors get elected.
Hey Chuck: there ‘s a reason they call it a “liberal arts” degree!

Does anybody really give a shit what Chuck Norris says or thinks. Hey Chuck, repeat after me Has-been. Believe it.

@Jeffree: Obviously Chucky came along too late to benefit from the “No Child Left Behind” program.

“when the political and public educational pendulum swings from concern for the tyranny of sectarianism in Jefferson’s day to secularism in ours”
The only people arguing this nonsense are the same revisionist wingnuts who, being sectarian, are in fact the same ol’ sectarians they ever were. Cracker, borderer white trash background fascists. Getting it all wrong as they flee from civilization instinctively, since they know in their hearts they are inferior people with nothing to offer.
And still, the baby Jesus weeps, Chuck. You killed his hope with your secular lifestyle, career, and multiple marriages. Why couldn’t you just give your heart honestly to Jesus, Chuck? Why the modern day lies and spin for celebrity endorsements? Is it because you just don’t have the character as a man? Take a look at that, Chuck.

I agree that our school system has focused more on standardized tests rather than free and unlimited thinking and creative problem solving. On the other hand, wouldn’t abusing gay students and telling kids that they can’t have sex until marriage sort of inhibit that path to unlimited thinking? Just saying. Being open to ideas, or liberal, gave us some of the greatest philosophers mankind has ever known, such as Plato or Aristotle. So fuck Chuck Norris.

Oh My God, the ONLY reason that ANYBODY still knows who this guy is, was because he became “Camp”. We were all making the “Chuck Norris Jokes. This guy owes his renewed career releveence just as much to the gays as Kylie Minogue ever did.

Chuck Norris isn’t such a badass now that I know a couple of gays or lesbians freak him out.
DJ
Another nobody shooting shit. Now I know why he’s the ass of every joke in America.

My guess: he’s trying to push up his name recognition in the hope of getting some additional DVD sales for his films.
If he wants to revive his career, how about making “Chuck Norris Meets Godzilla” (with the same outcome as for Bambi):
