Thursday 10/5: Lecture on School Violence in Boulder |
** Please forward this information to anyone you think might be
interested **
For immediate release:
Seven years after the horrifying Columbine High School massacre,
America's public schools are still plagued by student violence. This
Thursday, October 5th, Dr. C. Bradley Thompson will examine the causes
of that violence in the inaugural lecture of "Think!"--a new series of
public lectures sponsored by the Center for Values and Social Policy in
the Philosophy Department of the University of Colorado at Boulder.
What: Lecture on "Why Johnny Can't Think or Distinguish Right from
Wrong" by C. Bradley Thompson.
Where: Old Main Chapel on the campus of the University of Colorado at
Boulder.
When: October 5th from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m.
Lecture Description:
What's wrong with America's adolescent boys? Why are they so angry,
and why are they committing mass murder in America's government
schools? How are we to understand and explain what happened at
Columbine high school?
In this lecture, C. Bradley Thompson rejects the leading theories of
conservatives and liberals and instead advances a radical
proposition--that the cause of America's epidemic of school shootings
is to be found in the schools themselves. He argues that the root cause
for all these shootings might very well be found in the destruction of
the minds and souls of America's young people by an education
establishment bent on using our children as guinea pigs for their
experiments in schooling.
C. Bradley Thompson is the BB&T Research Professor at Clemson
University and the Executive Director of the Clemson Institute for the
Study of Capitalism.
"Think!" will also sponsor two events later this fall:
* Thursday, November 16th. "What We Owe to Animals: A Debate" David
Barnett and Robert Hanna (CU/Boulder)
* Thursday, December 7th. "Integral Ecology" Michael Zimmerman
(CU/Boulder)
All talks will be held from 8:00-9:30 p.m. at the Old Main Chapel on
the CU Campus. They are free and intended for the public. Members of
the media are welcome to attend. For more information, visit:

These lectures are funded through the generosity of The Collins
Foundation.

I remember that Columbine was the happiest moment in my xian co-worker's
life, though he expressed his outrage I could tell he loved it because
it validated his whole belief system and made him so much more fucking
righteous than me (and practically accusing me of being responsible for
it). My boss threw them out, but he left a stack of religious
propaganda flyers which said that the massacre would never have happened
if only the boys had had Jebus stuck up their asses at some seminar
similar to the one advertised above.
Also, I am sick of religionists proclaiming to have the authority to
define right and wrong. The xian religionist "Dr." C. Bradley
Thompson would get all righteous as he condemns school shootings as
"wrong," while his izlamist counterpart "Dr." D. Abdul Mohammed
al-Buttfuck would praise the shooters for their glorious jihad and
describe it as "right."

Why would you suppose that Dr. Thompson is Christian -- or even
religious? (He's neither.)
