You don't expect these low IQ future menial laborers and baby machines to take classes in Aeronautical Engineering, Inorganic Chemistry, or Nuclear Physics, do you?
They have to offer SOMETHING that makes them feel good and let's them continue to drain the taxpayer's funds, or they will claim discrimination.
The job opportunities, if and when they get their exalted Chicano Studies degree are endless, like working for Social Services filling out forms for non-English speaking illegals so they can get freebies at the taxpayers expense.
You have to realize that the book containing the great Mexican Philosphers and Scientists, is only one page long, blank on both sides.
Of course, someone has to be at the start of the Intelligence Bell Curve, so they DO fill a very important role.

I don't believe it, they must have at least one non-communist philosopher or scientist.

Well, there was this guy named Ramos:
Ramos, an important Mexican philosopher of the first half of the twentieth century, who was the Minister of Education in the 1930s, and the head of the Department of Philosophy of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de México during the 1940s, wrote one of the first studies on Mexican identity in 1933.
Educated in Paris and Rome, he argued that el pelado (although Ramos does not use the term machismo, el pelado is used to describe the most nasty Mexican masculinity, el macho)“was the most the most elemental and clearly defined expression of national character.”
This deviant masculinity, he argues, was the result of an inferiority complex resulting from the Spanish Conquest, and thus was part of both the process of racialization and sexualization that followed.
This psychological trauma of the Conquest produced overcompensating behaviors including aggression and the ongoing drive to prove oneself superior.
Ramos makes no apology for speaking of the pelado as an animal, primitive man and ongoingly fits this type of masculinity within the discourses of biology and zoology: El pelado belongs to a social fauna:“He is an animal whose ferocious pantomimes are designed to terrify others, making them believe that he is stronger than they and more determined”.
This type of man, Ramos continues, is obsessed with the phallus. His language and behavior are full of assertions of virility and sexual potency; he degrades by feminizing.
He is “manly in the zoological sense of the term, that is, in the sense of the male enjoying complete animal potency”.
Lastly, Ramos suggests that the psychological traits he describes ought to be ascribed to the poor urban mestizo and Indian: thus machismo becomes a sexual, racial, and class ascription.
In using Alfred Adler’s psychology to explain the character of the Mexican male, Ramos was hardly out of step with others in his time.
Adler, a student of Freud, theorized that the aggression evidenced in people lacking something, e.g. masculinity, was the acted out result of an “inferiority complex”.
In developing this notion, Adler was influenced by Nietzsche’s idea of the “will to power,” which assumes that the goal of men is power.“Inferiority complex,” a much used term, is Adlerian, and has been used to explain racialized masculinities, most significantly in the work of Frantz Fanon.

Banana republic USA doesn't need college educated young people. Heh, heh, such is only for prospering nations and wouldn't you know, China and India have taken over the brain pool while America was resigned to being a playground for vacationing wealthy. We really need to build more work camps, you know, to increase number of plebes involved in slave labor to benefit the state. Stalin and Lenin are smiling in their graves, methinks. Thank you president Obama for continuing the Bush crime empire.

I do believe you are correct, Obama himself promised during his campaign to create a civilian army as well funded and as large as our military. It is on Youtube.

This importing of illiterate poor people and the promise to give them all citizenship only adds credence to his promise.

Then when you look up his cabinet and czars and see they have all had positions in SEIU and ACORN you would have to be blind not to see it coming. That, coupled with the fact he has already taken over our auto industry and financial institutions. And then he wants to start a whole new green economy with union workers while taxing all our existing industries.

The feigned attempt at improving our economy by raising taxes has never worked while lowering taxes has always worked. Wiki Reagan and Carter.
Oh Yeah

This helps to explain why el pelado's wife or gf usually has a mustache.

Maybe the State Schools should give citizens priority over non citizens for admission.

The "kids are the future" stuff is getting old. If kids are the future, then the future is going to be like "Resident Evil". I CANNOT afford to pay more property taxes, and I don't have kids, so I'm okay with colossal education cuts. College is an expensive scam to put people into debt. Do you want fries with that?--and when you get home you've got 5 calls from Sallie Mae.

We are not in a recession (at least in CA); we are in a transition from the affluent society of the early 60s to a poor society, because we imported poverty.
We are doomed

Wait until these ignorant democrats start getting crappy medical services and have to pay more taxes for it. Thanks democrats, for turning your back on senor citizens who worked their entire lives for this country, as you cut their Medicare spending to pay for illegal aliens' medical plans.

I rather have those who are not citizens getting an education rather than sitting at home collecting Soc. Sec. or welfare benefits!

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Gemini

It's easy to become distracted and confused because your mind is wandering about in all sorts of different directions. You're also in a highly impressionable state so will believe almost anything you're told now, whether it's true or a total flight of fancy. Be wary of muddling others by only telling them half the story or letting your imagination fill in any gaps.
