Hippie Feminist Gay Teacher

[ADs_Agent]

So I'm taking an intercession class and from day one he has been trying to implement into my head that many of the problems with youth in our society come from the media. When I asked what he had to say about the 'Stop Snitchin' campaign in urban neighborhoods he couldn't really explain how the media affected that. When asked again how the media came up with the stereotypes if they were not present before media he could not answer. This is going to be a great 3 weeks :rolleyes:

[Curly Bill]

Give him hell! :D

[King Crimson]

blanket scapegoating the media is about as intellectually lazy as it comes.

the media exists in a social context. there is no theory of the media that is not, first, a theory of society.

[ADs_Agent]

And he's Jewish, it's a pretty strong paradox, a hippie-gay-feminist-jew NTTAWWT. He goes on to say that minorities are at a disadvantage because of media stereotypes but wouldn't answer the question that Bill Cosby posed of "Don't stereotypes exist for a reason?"

He also wouldn't answer the question about how he feels about federal aid and scholarships for kids who come from disadvantaged homes.

[OKLA21FAN]

quit being a disruptive force in the classroom, and assimilate!

[kbsooner21]

Give that liberal pansy hell :D

[Sooner_Havok]

I'd tell you how I feel, but I cut to go write a $500 check for my student loans:mad:

[sooneron]

OMG, a JEW!!! Heaven forbid!!

[Sooner_Havok]

OMG, a JEW!!! Heaven forbid!!

It's "Oh my lucky stars, a Jew!":D

[mdklatt]

a hippie-gay-feminist-jew

Is sausage kosher???


I couldn't resist. :O

Did he ask you to explain why your disadvantaged childhood makes it so that you are unable to spell "intersession" correctly?

Internet rule 2: making fun of someone's spelling is only allowable when someone is trying to show off how smart they are.

[Frozen Sooner]

And in all honesty, it's pretty easy to see how the media-which includes entertainment, not just news media-would be somewhat culpable in the "stop snitching" culture, being that it's celebrated as a part of the gangster culture promoted by many artists.

I'm not sure what you're attempting to argue-do you claim that media has no role in perpetuating stereotypes? Or only that the stereotypes existed before they were repeated?

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Intercession. What were you expecting, quality?

The professor is arguing that the stereotypes were created as a result of the media and my argument is that stereotypes existed before the media brought mass attention to them.

We had some Vietnamese students move into our high school back in the mid-70's. I was on the annual staff at the time. I had them pose doing martial art kicks. Their section of our annual is full of them to this day. They seemed willing enough. Should I have had them do some ballet instead? I sure hope I didn't offend their little sensibilities. They are probably somewhere now on the government draw because they were "gasp" stereotyped.

[SouthFortySooner]

Oh yeah, Agent, what twisted media have you been watching/listening/reading to come up with the horrid stereotype of a hipfemgayteacher? :confused:

[badger]

What I like best about gay hippie Jew... did I hit them all? Oh, AND feminist professors is that they are all about equal opportunities so long as it doesn't effect them or their family. It's like Al Franken saying that there should be affirmative action one chapter, then talk about his son applying to MIT and the like.

"I'm sorry Al Franken, but your son cannot attend MIT because we already have too many white middle-upper class male students. Oh, and you're Jewish and we have too many Jewish students already. If only he was a minority who might not have scored as high on his SAT, but has greater potential than your son does, we might have considered him."

It's actually quite funny in practice, but remember that she gives you your grade at the end of intersession, so don't get too high and mighty on her, or she'll be forced (as a feminist) to go higher and mightier.

We watched the movie Kid's last night in class, and in the scene where all the kids beat up a 20 something black man he tried to argue that it was blatant racisim when there were more latinos and black kids fighting than white kids.

He also made the reference in class to an author for our required reading for the class, Henry Giroux, saying that because Giroux said it, it must be correct. This guy is just to much. I couldn't believe the hypocrisy to preach that the entire media is biased but use the outlet of a Giroux book as fact. To me that is trying to say you're agnostic but use the Bible as a source.

No stereotype, he openly admits it.

[soonerscuba]

I'm having a tough time believing this story ain't exaggerated a bit, mainly because I have had some "out there" profs and never once anything to the nature of saying an author is an infallible authority. If this is indeed the case, contact the department head, pronto.

[soonerbrat]

Oy!

He's already stated at least twice that he has written papers summarizing the authors work and that the author is a hero of his. Anytime we ask a question his answer is "Giroux says this Giroux says that....". He presents the book as the Bible of media context

Children, this is what happens when you major in liberal arts. You will be teaching three week intersession classes at public universities to teenagers who are smarter than you and question your limited, three-week authority and limited, three-week knowledge.

:D

I'm an Econ major, I hate liberal arts, this just happened to be the only class that fell in the timeline when I needed the elective. Business majors think differently from lib arts and mcomm majors, we can smell bull honkey from a mile away.

I should hope so, since that's what they're training you to dish out. :D

I thought they taught Fecal Stockpiling Theory at TBS,not removal Tech.

:(:(:(

;)

So, major in some liberal arts? It's all good, but I'm sure you all had your jokes about your major just as my colleagues and I did. Besides, not all liberal arts are equally painful to listen to for three week intersessions. Not all liberal arts degrees result in a one-way trip to part-timin' at Barnes & Noble waiting for an assistant professorship to open up... ok, did I hit all the stereotypes?

;)

[NormanPride]

And for my 9000th post, I shall disagree with my wife. About what? Who cares!



:les: I DISAGREE!

Ah. My apologies for making the assumption that someone on an OU message board talking about being in college would, in fact, be attending OU. Not necessarily a good assumption to make.

I don't know if you're being sincere or rude so I'll assume sincere. I go to UCO will graduate Spring 09' then follow up at Price for my MBA. I originally was going to go to OU before I met my fiance and got married since she was already at UCO it was just logical for me to be there as well. The more you know ;)

[Frozen Sooner]

Sincere, but I can certainly see how it could be taken as rude. My apologies for making an unwarranted assumption.

So yesterday in class we were discussing the bias towards white males in hero positions and I made the remark that most comic book characters were white males and there are very few black superheroes. Apparently that triggered a segway for him to discuss his study of pr0n and how a black male is portrayed as nothing but a phallic. I asked isn't it that way for all men in pr0n? Apparently in hetero versions guys who watch the particular form of media are concerned with the plot lines of the white guys but not black :confused:

In the original comics he was not black. He was made black when the Justice League was redone.

I know, and don't get me wrong here, Hal Jordan is now, and forever will be the greatest Green Lantern of all times. That said, I think John Stewart was a pretty kicking GL himself.

Solid point, but it the professor did raise an interesting point in how most superheroes are clean cut white guys who fight evil dark villians. :pop:

[Frozen Sooner]

Well, yeah. I mean, that's hardly an original observation.

If you want to take a look at how sexist/racist many mainstream comics really are-even on an unconscious level-Google up "women in refrigerators."

Bring some of that stuff in for a guaranteed A.

Heh. I was led to the discussion of the "Women in Refrigerators" phenomenon by a prominent comics creator.
